  1. Trusting WHO to be a impartial authority on this is like trusting FIFA to be the final authority on football. You won’t be able to judge which countries handled this well & which poorly until way after the event as it’s a bit more complex than counting official Covid death figures per country. For example Sweden may have more Covid deaths, but less suicides or cancer deaths. Nobody really knows. It’s really like the Brexit discussion all over again, with some people who think they’re important sticking it to the Government, but the public generally supportive. Personally, I think the lockdown is disproportionate but think the Government is doing OK. Seeing as the option was Boris or Corbyn, I think we’ve the right man in charge.

  8. As most know my Mrs has had a rough week & is an NHS worker. Some twts setting of fireworks & sounding stupid horns frightened our dog to bloody death. She loves that dog & it really upset her watching him shaking and petrified. I know they mean well, but these ****ing idiots do need to stop and think. First week was one thing, every week getting a bit OTT now. Let’s have an NHS day when it’s all over, carnivals, street parties, collections, whatever. But give it a rest now.

  9. I bet the planks clapping will be the first to grass up their neighbours if they dare to take 2 walks a day. The Spectator reporting that in Paris police phone lines are getting clogged up by people reporting their neighbours and they’ve appealed to people to stop. Bit of common sense from the mayor as well. Time for Khan to step up to the plate and stop playing politics. “The mayor of Paris's 20th arrondissement has asked residents of her neighbourhood to stop denouncing each other. 'When it's a question of violence against women or children, or selling drugs, I'm still all ears,' said Frédérique Calandra this week. 'But these calls stigmatising Parisians who wish only to get a breath of fresh for a few minutes, they're unacceptable.Passing on a message from the police, Calandra told people to stop denouncing their neighbours for petty infractions of the confinement regulations because it was overwhelming their emergency phone lines.” Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  10. He must have picked JWP ahead of Matt for his “gut busting pace” then. I must be “obtuse” then, because I can’t see how on earth anyone can pick Prowse above him. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

  15. Mason losing the plot tonight. He reckons this so called sabotage of Corbyn is a Watergate moment, “not just for The Labour Party but for British politics”. These people are ****ing lunatics. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  16. Not enough debate on whether the lockdown is a proportionate response. As soon as someone tries to discuss it, they’re shouted down as if they want people to die. The Government won’t even tell us whether the lockdown is to ease the burden on NHS or whether it’s going to save a significant number of lives. They’re trying to indicate it’s both. My opinion is that it can’t be. Until we know the definitive answer to that,we can’t really discuss easing the lockdown. If it is to protect the NHS then lockdown can be eased/reapplied depending on capacity. If it’s to save significant lives, it’s hard to see it ending for months & months. Reports are the chancellor thinks we’re approaching tipping point, and that the economic damage & other health outcomes of continuing the lockdown will eventually kill more people than the actual virus. Trump is a moron, but he’s right about one thing, the cure can not be allowed to be worse than the disease. I don’t know the answer, I’m not a scientist, economist or a Government minister, but my gut feeling is we need to manage this virus through the population within NHS capacity (and I have lost someone I cared for deeply). That means relaxing the lockdown for the healthy once the trend is downwards. I just don’t see a vaccine emerging , we haven’t found one for SARS yet, why would we suddenly find one for this. We cant remain locked in for months & months, it’s not sustainable for the countries economy or health long term. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  17. The media have been woeful during this whole thing, shockingly poor. The art of proper journalism is being lost. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  18. What’s weird is you & others continually moaning about the Government. Give it a rest, it’s a bloody difficult situation & most of the country seem to be behind them. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  19. I don’t know the age of people on here, but I’d imagine quite a few sit in the middle aged category. My wife has now lost her Mum, sister & dad in a 3 year period, so was crying & telling the staff she couldn’t lose her husband as well. The advise they gave her for the 40-60 age group was; 1. Give up smoking (I don’t, but they didn’t know that) 2. lose weight 3. Prey you’re lucky They emphasised it’s never too late, within 2 weeks of following that advise you’ll increase your chances of fighting it off. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  20. My father in law lost his fight with the virus last night. Worryingly they now believe he picked it up in the rest home and not in hospital. Doctors were telling my Mrs that it’s going to devastate these places, and that generation. Horrific. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  21. Goliath first series was great, getting worse from second & third series. I found the Ozarks so so. Bosch is great, looking forward to new season. The new Nazi hunter thing was a major disappointment. It’s not just Netflix & Prime, the whole of TV is dire overall. ITV crime stuff used to be great, but the latest thing McDonald & Dodds was infantile and even Endeavour is starting to jump the shark now. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  22. Green book was excellent. I’m actually amazed with how much Shiite is on Netflix & Prime. Because I watched football most week nights & went out weekends, I only dipped in to watch the occasional series like Bosch, Sneaky Pete or Narcos. There really is some pony on, Ive lost count of the number of films I’ve turned off. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  23. That’s how I felt for about an hour, had to really force my self to continue watching (not a great recommendation) , but in the end found it quite compelling. It’s the strangest feeling I’ve ever had at the end of a film. Normally it’s , “that was ****e”, or “that was good”, or even “meh”, but this was half ****e half good. Weird.

  24. I watched an interesting film last night. “Un cut Gems” on Netflix. I wouldn’t say it was brilliant as I spent a third of the time wondering whether to turn off, but it was weirdly addictive. The ending was excellent and Adam Sandler was superb (as was his mistress’ arse). Reminded me a lot of Mean Streets, lots of noise, action & jerky sort of camera shots/angles. There’s so much going on that maybe it’s one to watch again to fully appreciate. Has anyone seen it, and If so, what did you think? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  25. They do follow through with it as well. When I completed the form, I fully expected a long wait but fair enough it’s just been refunded on my latest bill. It’s interesting because I did start feeling guilty about doing so. I regularly listened to Martin Lewis and he’s urging people that can (and he emphasised can) afford it, should maybe cut companies some slack as they’re struggling as much as we are. He was mentioning holidays and airlines, said people are entitled to refunds on booked flights & holidays, but could we accept alternatives to help the business. On the back of that I didn’t demand a refund for a flight to France, but rebooked to Canaries in Nov. Maybe going soft, because demanding a refund & then rebooking would have saved me £90.
