This insanity is endless...

Oi you, it's the Tories (the lot you voted in) are providing these fake figures and not slime bag Labour politicians like Starmer.

The stats are nothing to do with government, they are a civil service role and you get the same figures whatever Government is in power.

They are not fake figures BT, one is the number of deaths 'reported' on a given date, the other is the number of deaths that 'occurred' on a given date, I believe both figures are as accurate as they can be.


The FAKE NEWS occurs when slimeball politicians like Starmer pick a date when the deaths reported figure is high and pretend it's the number of deaths that has actually occurred on that date.

It's par for the course for professional liars like Starmer, it's disappointing that two esteemed posters on this board are apt to do the same

You’re nitpicking Sinkov
I’m not a professional liar or an amateur one and I dont believe other posters are too. statistics are statistics which are always open to interpretation and you chose your way I chose mine, it’s no less valid for making policy decisions
Lies, Damn lies and statistics!
What are you actually trying to say.
All I’m saying is the stats show a rise in case numbers and deaths in recent weeks - are you saying there isn’t? That seems BTs position. I think he’s had it!

Bloody hell barrie, I hope that it's not me! It would mean that I would be 251 when I died -----even a happy bloke like me can't contend with the thought of another 177 years in lockdown!

Johnson is 0.29% brain dead.

The government of the day shut any information coming out of the Civil Service down in a heartbeat if they don't like it as well you know OC.

On the other hand, when the agenda suits...

Any examples you can cite BT out of the thousands of different stats available on line? I can’t remember any ever.

Haha!

They should pull through. If they were 0.79% dead that would be more worrying.

So 99.71% alive lol.

I asked on another thread OC "Where are the bodies?"

Am I missing something here? Excess deaths reported are rising again BT, latest figure 980 on Oct 23
They were 11800 on April 17th

this is how they do it - all deaths by the week, relating to the bug - come under this heading - Deaths where COVID-19 was mentioned on the death certificate ....and thats where the number spin begins !
