hypochondriac

Doesn't that sort of imply that is a future aspiration? You can't just end that reliance overnight, there should be some sort of gradual transition whatever the national situation. Seems a bit odd the verhofstat would seem to express surprise that we wouldn't relax controls when convenient to do so and that that's an example of a lack of control when in fact its the opposite.

Seems fairly unanimous to me...

I'll interpret that as an admission that you weren't clear enough and that you actually didn't specify that you were driving to work and additionally that you misunderstood the point I was making in my previous post but are too proud fo say so. Cheers.

You said you drive every work day not that you drive to work. I then made a general point about non essential journeys and you chose to interpret that as being me suggesting that I hadn't understood your post. You said that you hadn't been stopped by the police, the implication being that if you were out driving for non essential reasons then you were unlikely to get caught. My point was that you may not get caught but that you take the risk knowing full well that you may be so you shouldn't complain if you do. Really wasn't that hard to understand but it seems you had trouble.

You're the one who misrepresented my post to try and suggest I was saying you weren't allowed to drive to work. And you call other people slow!

It was obvious to the rest of us. It seems you got there quite slowly...

It said b*llox and I'm not "the right."

Hence why I said "non essential reasons". I'll let you get there slowly.

******.

Why is that in any way relevant? Or is vile abuse justified for some people purely because they had more advantages in life than others? I know that's what many corbyn supporters think but it's not a view shared by most of the general public.

No I just didn't think she deserved some of the vile abuse from the usual types of people who dish that out. Nothing fickle about it. I find her pretty irritating and not a very good journalist but she certainly doesn't deserve some of the stuff that's been written about her regardless of what she's like.

I doubt the average black people gives much of a toss what some fringe Labour members have written about someone in a WhatsApp group. Most people have more important things to do.

Sadly it's been jumped on by the usual hard left loons with the #youclapformenow stuff. Shame as it was something wholesome and positive beforehand.

I've been quite sympathetic when she's got dogs abuse from certain people on twitter in the past but she's certainly been terrible during this especially. Most inane and simplistic questions ever.

It's a bit mad isn't it. A country of millions and those are the two best candidates they can muster.

If you go out and drive for non essential reasons then you run the risk of a fine at the discretion of the police. I'm perfectly happy with that and everyone else should be too.

Abd they've obviously modelled what people should do and this is what they've come up with. It's jot perfect but why people can't just comply for the relatively short period that they are asked to do it rather than being difficult for the sake of it I do not know.

Exactly. I'm not sure why this is even being argued.

Peston, Laura kuenssberg and Sam Coates asked the stupidest questions today. We actually got a couple of good ones including one on serology which was half decent and not from one of the usual lot.

It means that if you plot a graph from day one of i believe its the first death, we currently have less deaths than Spain and France had at roughly the same point.

Well it's clearly had quite a big effect. The question is if it's had enough of an effect. The graph today seeemed to suggest we were tracking behind France and Spain who seem to have a much stricter regime in place so I'm not sure how much difference anything stricter would have. The lockdown isn't to prevent the virus, it's to spread the virus at a slower pace.

Yep absolutely fed up with that. And they only reason they want to know is that when they miss the self imposed deadline they can moan at them. It's ridiculous.

No it isn't at all. You've been told not to do something by the government in order to get the lockdown finished as quickly as possible. If you choose to ignore that then you should be fined and punished. It really is that simple because if everyone decided to drive 200 miles it's very likely that this would get a hell of a lot worse.

You got absolutely no idea if that's true. None at all.

It's pretty simple. We've been told not to travel hundreds of miles from our home to prevent the spread of the disease. If you travel hundreds of miles under those restrictions and without a proper reason then don't complain if you get fined. If you're dumb enough to do it despite the warnings then you deserve everything you get imo. I'll leave it to others to argue about how infectious one course of action is over another as it's not really relevant.
