I can understand the lying, duplicitous Tories playing games 59er, but not the Lib Dems.

Oh! Hang on.
Sorry BT, I'm not sure what point you are trying to make.

Yes, in a normal year, around 10,000 people die each week. No argument there.

But when the figure of 10,000 total deaths due to Covid (not per week) was mentioned you rubbished it. I have tried to search for your post from around March but apparently you can only go back 500 posts, which was in September.

Shall we have a sweep for how many total deaths due to Covid there will be by the end of the year? Say £5 each? I reckon 80,000 give or take. That's around another 33,000 from today.

And I am good at this kind of stuff - ask Sinkov
