Weston Super Saint

Perhaps we could. Did we have the same facilities as those countries to use the same roadmaps?

Really? You appreciate that between the two 'polar options' are an almost infinite number of options that exist in an almost infinite number of combinations. I'd love to see the roadmap you created for dealing with the virus in March which would have been absolutely perfect and couldn't have a single criticism made about it! After all, that seems to be your perspective of how the Government should have handled the situation!

And yet, you seem to find it inconceivable that on here people can have their own opinions on what that means and how to achieve it and that anyone who doesn't agree with your opinion on how that should happen are 'old and white' and 'racist' 'right wingers'.

Wasn't called either. Wasn't me that 'made it out'.

'Juanita'?

I assume you missed the bit about two 'polar options'.

Yes

1. Was that really a 'Government policy'? 2. Have you any evidence whatsoever that links the lack of community testing to more people dying?

The Government had two polar options : 1. Do nothing. Virus will spread, people will die, herd immunity will eventually kick in. End result life carries on as usual for the vast majority of people. 2. Lock everyone up from day 1 to ensure the virus doesn't spread (people are stupid so it would still get around to a lesser degree) until a vaccine is developed, then start a full immunisation programme. End result is economic ruination without a doubt, plus most likely huge civil unrest half way through once people realise their economic lives had been ruined! Essentially the Government was stuck between a rock and a hard place - as any UK government would have been - so chose some sort of hybrid half way house. End result is that anyone can pick holes in what they did or didn't do with the benefit of hindsight, especially given the unknown nature of the virus which meant that policies had to be made up 'on the fly'.

Does that count though? Even the Guardian are calling him a 'black lives matter protester' in the title of their article. Surely it should be a 'George Floyd protester'?

The Government policy was to ensure that the NHS had sufficient capacity to deal with the outbreak of the virus, thus ensuring that enough ventilators were available for patients who needed them. Despite a seemingly 'shaky' start to that, I do not believe that there was one single patient that DIDN'T receive the care and equipment that they needed during the first outbreak. Indeed, a number of 'temporary' wards were constructed around the country providing thousands of extra beds, very few of which were ever utilised. So, as a direct result of Government policy I would say 'no'. I am, however, more than happy to look at any evidence you have that contradicts that and proves that more people died as a direct result of Government policy.

Sorry, who's being obtuse? The Premier League has invented its own Black Lives Matter campaign (it even says so in the link you posted). That is not the one that organised protest marches in London.

Not any more! The new line is that there were NO BLM marches, they were George Floyd marches / protests. Give it another couple of weeks and BLM will probably be classed as fake news that the racists invented.

I may have missed it, where is the white power sign?

How could more lives be saved - I guess this will be key for spike part two?

Nope, definitely BLM protests. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/06/20/black-lives-matter-protesters-march-london-scuffles-break-glasgow/ Even after four weeks they were referred to as BLM : You do seem quite keen to try and disassociate the protests from BLM and attribute them to George Floyd, I wonder why that is?

When did that change - the protest marches I saw were organised by the BLM 'politic group' and had banners, placards, t-shirts etc supporting the BLM 'politic group'. At what point did it change from supporting the BLM to distancing from the BLM and why?

He's taken to wearing a chain and a padlock to let us all know.

Incredibly racist.

They certainly seem more animated than usual.

You'll be very welcome in Weston, we don't stop anyone from coming in.

Bag split on the hooker.

You'll be fine, he has stated many times before he lives in Poole.

How do you know I can't comprehend it?

Why have you renamed it a 'George Floyd' march? It was a 'black lives matter' march. They had banners, placards and everything, not sure how you missed that.
