    I must agree that we do not have a magic money tree, however it was possible to find £10,000 for each MP to be able to work from home and they were still paid their monthly salary. So, for Boris Johnson to say we must treat everyone the same is laughable. Or am I being too cynical in thinks its one rule for them and a different rule for everyone else.

    Well you're right in one respect 59, we don't have a magic money tree, we now have a magic money forest. I'm not an expert on finance or economics, not by any means, so I could be wrong, but I have the horrible feeling that this is all going to end in tears, bigger tears than we've seen in decades, when this gigantic Ponzi scheme collapses, as it surely will.

    The Government has offered exactly the same amount of money to Gtr Manc as was accepted by Gtr Liverpool and Lancashire. Why should the Mancs get more? If they did, then Lancs and Liverpool would be up in arms - along with other areas that are sure to join Tier 3 very soon. The Government cannot be seen to be treating each region differently.

    Sinkov, the reason for the wild fluctuations in the figures of daily deaths is because deaths are under reported at weekend and then there is usually a spike on Tuesday when they catch up.
    For some reason your figures don't reflect this.
    Here you go 59er, I was in Paddington this morning...

    and as for the Gov and their advisers - just a bunch of skaggy crooks with their elsewhere interests to help coordinate the Plandemic.

    e.g


    Patrick Vallance (12 yrs.) GlaxoSmithKline ex-director, he chairs SAGE which was created by Bill Gates for to advise WHO & UK gov- on vaccine & immunization policies, research, development, and delivery systems - he owns a deferred bonus of 43,111 shares worth £600,000 in GSK.
    Chief Medical Adviser Prof Chris Whitty, accepted, $40 million from Bill Gates to control British vaccine promulgation: and he stated “COVID-19 vaccines and drugs would need to be in place before measures could be lifted … .
    The Imperial College; Neil Ferguson for Covid-19 mortality predictions (0.5 million in UK) accepted £184 million from B. Gates.
    Prof J. van Tam served the interest of the pharmaceutical industry 1997 - 2000, as an Associate Director at SmithKline Beecham (GSK). In April 2001 he moved to Roche as Head of Medical Affairs, before joining Aventis Pasteur MSD in February 2002 as UK Medical Director. He chaired the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) Expert Advisory Group on H5N1 human vaccines, sits on the UK national Scientific Pandemic Influenza Committee (SPI), the UK Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) and was a short-term consultant and temporary adviser to the World Health Organization on many occasions. On WHO/van Tam’ advice of was a mass vaccination by H5N1 human vaccines from which Roche and GSK each earned billions £. And said industries was not held liable for the damaged inflicted on thousands of people by their vaccines.
    6) Professor Dame Angela McLean, Deputy Chief Scientific Adviser, her career and professorship was funded via the Imperial College; as by Bill Gates
    7) Sharon Peacock, the director of the National Infection Service: Welcome Trust/GSK (BMGF)
    8) Maria Zambon, director of Reference Microbiology Services at PHE and head of the UK World Health Organization National Influenza Centre (BMGF)
    9) Jeremy Farrar, director of the Wellcome Trust/GSK (BMGF)
    10) Dr Edward Mullins is a clinical lecturer at Imperial College (BMGF)
    11) Dominic Cummings and Ben Warner are related to an artificial intelligence company for data-mining operation which was teamed up with Palantir, founded by the rightwing billionaire Peter Thiel, who shares biotech startups with Bill Gates.

    Cronyism and corruption as what this Cabal of Conservative and Unionist Cabinet Minister Cretins are all about VC...https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politi...er&ccid=748886

    Just for 59er, alias Councillor Jim:
    Now the "evidence" shows us the pandemic is worsening, the Tory Government will stop the furlough scheme.
    Meanwhile, behind closed doors Blow Job is complaining that he cannot get by on his £150,000 per annum plus perks salary.
    If the Prime Minister is finding life such a struggle, how on earth does he expect many workers to get by on just £5.84 an hour when the Tory cuts to furlough sink in?

    Blow Job blew £40m on a non-existent garden bridge and has now authorised a spend of £6k a day on test-and-trace consultants who are providing nothing, yet does not seem to be able to find another £5m for Manchester.

    He hates Mancs more than he does Scousers and that really is saying something. Johnson digging in his heels over £5 million was obviously to look after the pennies, so the pounds look after themselves.

    The great pity is it will be Blow Job's mates and cronies, who will get the pounds and not the pennies. I knew it would be bad with this w@nker in Number 10 Downing Street, but even I could not speculate on the scale of this tragedy.

    As you know BT, I am no apologist for Boris. I am a fully paid up member of the BDS club.

    But, when doling money out to regions that are put under Tier 3 restrictions, the Government need to be seen to be even handed across the board.

    Lancs, Liverpool and Sheffield have been given the same amount as Manchester. Why should Manchester get an extra amount? I would be a bit peed off if this happened, I live in Lancashire. We have the same area of deprivation as the other areas.

    If it was a case of who shouts the loudest gets the money then it would create absolute mayhem. Especially when areas in the North East, Nottingham, West Yorks etc. are probably going to come under Tier 3 restrictions.

    Being even handed is essential.
