Lockdown

[The Bedlington Terrier]

Starmer once again provided no opposition to the government and defended his decision to order his MPs to abstain claiming it was, “not in the national interest”.

FFS! Why on earth did not order Labour Party MP's to join with the Tory rebels and vote against the government’s restrictions and this arbitrary and unnecessary tier 3 bulls**t?

I fail to see the point of the Labour Party when a Tory is running and ruining it.

15 honest, decent Labour MPs stood up for their constituents, ignored Starmer and voted with the Tory rebels, Jeremy Corbyn, god bless him, also voted against the lunacy. Sadly BT, your sweetheart RLB, was not amongst the 15 heroes, she failed to display any balls and sat on the fence alongside the rest of the Labour sycophants and the spineless LibDems.

Told you Becky was a waste of space BT, but you wouldn't listen, next time she flutters her eyelids at you mon ami, don't fall for her feminine wiles, you just listen to your Uncle Sinkov, he'll keep you on the straight and narrow.

Last night's poll amongst MP's confirmed once and for all sinkov, their self interest knows no bounds...

Given that it's going to be 80,000 in a week he wasn't far out sadly. If anyone doesn't take this seriously they have Ostrich syndrome.

There’s lots on ostrich posts on here don’t take it seriously Chris, it’s a master plan to subjugate the plebs not sure what the goal is ( bit like Chris Wood!) but the WHO is at the forefront and all Governments seem to be trying it on.

Sinkov I think being 6k out isn’t bad given all the unknown twist and turns and if we hadn’t locked down we would have gone above it lol

BT strategy was what the Government started doing in March, then Ferguson changed his and their minds.

I would disagree with sub that 75% of people are scared to death, most of my grandsons have no fear at all, the oldies may be, a lot are philosophical, some want to die anyway.

People don’t obey lockdown or social distancing or face masks so maybe Boris should scare them to death and start threatening those who ignore the rules.

Only joking!!

It is what it is OC, an overestimate by a considerable amount, if someone owed you £33k and offered you less than £27k to pay off the debt, would you say, 'OK, go on then, it's not much' ? Would you ?

And as I said, this is nothing to do with 59, he just made a guess based on what the Mad Scientists of Sage were predicting, but my point is that their predictions are ALWAYS on the top side, ALWAYS an exaggeration, remember the 4000 deaths a day in December which bounced Boris into Lockdown 2 ? You may not mind being lied to on a regular basis, it seems you don't, but it pisses me off.

'if we hadn’t locked down we would have gone above it'. Nice try OC, but 59 made his prediction in the full knowledge that we were about to locked down, and so would have accounted for that fact in his estimate. But full marks for the attempt, don't fancy a job with SAGE by any chance do you, they could find a use for a talent like yours.

While I am busy insulating my home from this bloody virus, staying home with my wife and in general isolating and cutting myself off from society and avoiding anything I used to consider normal, I look out of the lounge window and see society’s “worker bees” doing their thing.

I see legions of white van drivers, supermarket delivery trucks, posties, firemen, ambulances and policemen and women all doing the day-to-day things they do to earn a crust and keep the wheels of society moving along.

Clearly, we are not really in “Lockdown”, not the sort of “Lockdown” the residents of Wuhan first encountered after a biochemical leak from a laboratory just down the road contaminated them. The sort of China style “Lockdown” where if you passed the gate that closed in the neighbourhood community you were likely to either be shot dead and have your v!tal organs harvested or alternatively, just arrested and have your v!tal organs harvested.

We have a “Lockdown” where you can still stand in a testing queue to validate the massaged figures our government produces to keep us locked down or nip into our local B & Q to buy the goods needed to keep us occupied while we are locked in at home.

It got me thinking, instead of locking down the whole of society, why don’t we just safeguard the elderly and the vulnerable while allowing other people to carry on their lives pretty much as normal.

Not rocket science is it?
