    First question on the Muppet Show yesterday from the BBC, something about is the government ashamed that some nurses don't have adequate PPE. A strange question, when the public want to get the latest info out of ministers and government, this BBC halfwit prefers to play games. As it's the responsibilty of the NHS, envy of the world, to procure PPE for it's front-line staff, why not address the question to the body responsible for the shortage, the NHS, unless of course the BBC has an agenda.

    Does the BBC have an agenda ? Try this....

    "Last Friday morning, at 6, 7, 8 and 9 am, the news on BBC Radio 4 led with the story that “The boss of an NHS Trust has asked the BBC to put him in touch with a fashion company making protective gowns, because he fears he’s about to run out.” The reporter, Simon Browning, said that the executive had asked for the phone number of a Burberry factory. The story accused the Government of falling down on PPE “despite assurances from ministers that there’s enough to go round”. The “boss” reportedly described the Government’s claim there was no shortage of gowns as “fantasy”. This sounded odd to me. Was the NHS boss so clueless that he had to ask our national broadcaster how to get hold of Burberry? If so, could one trust him to get PPE from anywhere? I was also suspicious of the fact that the source refused to speak directly and that the Today programme which followed the news did not follow up the report. It seemed sketchy. Later that day, modestly concealed in the Business section of the BBC News website, a “correction” appeared: “We should clarify that the person concerned is not the boss of an NHS trust but is part of a network of organisations helping to source personal protective equipment for some NHS trusts. The mistake was caused by a misunderstanding of the person’s role in the fight against the pandemic.” The correction understated the problem. If the person looking for Burberry was not an NHS boss, but only someone who was helping chase PPE gowns, it was not worthy of the national news at all, let alone the hourly lead. The BBC’s “misunderstanding of the person’s role” collapsed the entire tale.

    How did this story get broadcast, then?"


    So how did it get broadcast, go back to the start of this post for the answer. That's how the BBC FAKE NEWS factory operates, broadcast the lies, the FAKE NEWS, then when found out, tuck away the retraction where no one will notice it.

    In all honesty sinkov, Margaret Thatcher would have had about two dozen of the hierarchy of our Health Services' guts for garters.

    I am 100% certain we have the industrial capacity in the UK to sort out this supply issue, but where the fu-ck is the will to do it?

    It gets better BT, Public Health England are getting a bit shirty, they've put out a statement saying they're not responsible for the lack of PPE, it's your old friends the DHSC on behalf of the NHS. Panic buttons being pressed, bucks being passed, 'stand from under' the order of the day ?

    "PHE is not responsible for determining what stock is held in the pandemic stockpile. We are responsible for developing the UK guidance on PPE and advising how to keep clinicians safe. The DHSC is responsible for the procurement of PPE on behalf of the NHS, not PHE."

    Too late now BT, the sh-itfest that is PHE, NHS and DHSC is like a fecking gigantic oil tanker, it will take ages to turn it around and there simply isn't the time now to do anything about it. That will have to be sorted later, for now we have to run with what we've got, which is a few government ministers trying to get on top of the sh-itfest our not fit for purpose public health bodies have left us with.

    Anyway, we do seem to be winning, so now we have to wait and see what sort of ideas our mad scientists suggest to get us out of lockdown. The worrying thing is, it's the same people who dumped us into this mess in the first place who will be deciding how we get out of it. God help and save the British economy, I don't think anyone else can.

    Bloody hell man, pull yourself together!

    Don'y you know that this is a global event, and people like you are saying the same thing in, America, France, Italy, Spain and about 100 more countries.

    I'll bet that in every single country people will be pointing their fingers at their health service, Government and anyone else that they can think of saying that they are useless.

    I am actually impressed by the way our Government, the health service , the military and the general public have pulled together over this. And it has been replicated in many other countries too.

    I'll just trust the experts that the lockdown will be removed when they think the time is right.

    It could have been a hell of a lot worse (I hope I'm not tempting fate here!)

    No good shouting at me 59, I only observe and comment. BT insists it's a sh-itfest, the media muppets at the press briefings every day insist it's a sh-itfest, maybe it is, maybe it isn't, I don't know. All I am saying is that if it is indeed a sh-itfest then BT and the Media muppets are wrong and disingenuous trying to blame the government for it. Any sh-itfest, if indeed there is one, is being caused by PHE and the NHS and so when BT wants to know what's to be done about the problem, if indeed there is one, I'm telling him nothing can be done, because you can't alter the way PHE and the NHS operate overnight. Clear now ?

    I don't trust the experts on the removal of lockdown, not one little bit, I just hope your confidence in them isn't misplaced 59, but the experts you've placed your faith in over the years have a very worrying habit of being proved wrong. The rest of your post I tend to agree with.

    The simple FACT sinkov is our daily mortality rate is "normal".

    A RAF plane has just landed from Turkey packed with PPE - FACT.

    Raab is still looking like a rabbit caught in the headlights of a ten tonne truck, Gove is missing, Hancock is waffling and Johnson is reported to be setting up a video link with the Orange Buffoon and Brenda.

    The BBC is still talking bollox, I can't buy a pint or have a meal out, I can't walk on Lytham's front or play golf, please argue with me that we are not living in a fu-cking lunatic asylum?
