O/T:- Impressed with the leadership

[BigFatPie]

This is all very well and good but the UK stats only include deaths in hospitals where the deceased has tested +ve for COVID-19. Kind of renders the 21k a bit of a red-herring.

The 21k figure is bullsh!t. Some sources report that the excess deaths figure means the covid figure is somewhere in the region of 45,000+.

I wonder how many when this reaches sid.

I've just heard on the news that we might end up with the highest death toll in the whole of Europe. If it does end up like that, I wonder if Banjo will still be "impressed with the leadership"?

At least seriouspie will be proved right, he always said that Boris was a leader.

Correct .... and the Broxtowe Socialist will once more ....... get the wooden spoon loser's award.

On what basis are the other countries on that list recording C19 deaths? I had a quick look but couldn't see.

I am assuming you, like every other man and his dog except for a few on here, know that at least two sets of figures are released for the UK.

I would suggest that those who have lost their lives through government failings are the losers.

Obviously your values are different.

If only winning a decent majority was some guarantee that a government would be any good at governing. This Tory government is the worst since the last one. I saw Tony Blair on tv this morning with clear, coherent strategies on how the current mess could somehow be mitigated.
Anyone who doesn’t think he would still do a massively better job than the current idiot is smoking some serious sh!t.

Oh dear. Any man that can publicly support the views of the self publicist that is Tony Blair and does not understand that Tony is only in it for Tony and only ever has been in it for Tony, and that Tony is the singular most deluded man in British politics in my lifetime should hang his head shame.
He should really have been prosecuted for some of his actions and I still wonde why not!!

... isn't it time the 100% Hindsight Mob - and they really are a sickening mob (with the main self appointed cheerleader the appalling, ignorant, ill mannered P Morgan) - just took a pill. They're rather like those in WW2 who were asking why Chamberlain betrayed the Czechs when the war still had to be won. Just wait till it's all sorted, then have your inquest ... you mindless critters (with apologies to critters).

Roughly translated as :

I realise the government are making a really bad job of sorting this, but let's be True Brits and pretend they're doing well.
