I think you'll need to put a pin in that question. Capt. Hindsight, needs to fast forward a few weeks before telling us all what the govt. should have done. Meanwhile lots of people are losing their jobs and have no realistic chance of finding work anytime soon. People who have worked all their lives, paid taxes, had viable roles in viable businesses. I know pilots who are working a day a month, holiday sales reps on 2 days a week (on jobs that pay 25k to start).

So what’s your suggestion, clever clogs - Get rid of the Tory government? Stop Brexit? Bring in a land value tax?

Why do some keep resorting to total absurdity? It really does demonstrate your lack of any reasoned argument.

Won't the current Universal Credit keep them in relative security?

You really are naive

 

[Boogerman]

You really are naive

Or facetious.

I think it demonstrates how good a certain faction on here are at criticising anything and everything this government do but when pushed for even a suggestion of what they think may work, they clam up, disappear into the ether and tag another of their team to come in with some deflection. That’s the real absurdity.

Or facetious.

Says the man with zero humour.

Bojo neither saved the economy or people but spent billions.

On top he releases this to the Press late at night rather than make an announcment - coward and a lack of leadership.

Eat out to Help out the Virus.

Uni students back at Uni so they can pay fees and rent.

An unbalanced economy and unhinged leadership exposed by the Virus.

Something else could spoil your Christmas

"Documents seen by the BBC suggest the UK is on course for a much higher death toll than during the first wave unless further restrictions are introduced.

Deaths could reach more than 4,000 a day, one of the models suggests.

This figure is based on no policies being brought in to slow the spread of the disease.

At the height of the pandemic during the spring, deaths in the UK reached more than 1,000 a day."

Queuing up outside the crematorium puts a damper on the day.

Where did the" documents "come from?
Perhaps the same place that the beeb reported on yesterday, where the case rate was" quadruple that predicted in even a worse - case scenario "?
If that is the case, these predictions are about as much use as my football accas......

Do you not think that the scientists are worth listening to? The doctors who are now saying hospitals are getting full? Takes a couple of weeks for people to start snuffing it and we're getting thousands of new cases - a day. If they don't do something, lives will be lost - not only because of the spread but because the hospitals will be too full to help those with the virus who'd perhaps have lived.

It's happening now.

That's a completely - different issue , compared to being so wildly out with their numbers.
Unless they are locked in windowless bunkers with no Internet, they have access to the information they need, surely?
Otherwise, why make a "prediction" in the first place? (Or at least state the uncertainty associated with it).

Could it be Tier 4 restrictions instead of a nation wide tier 4? Yes in theory it could.

In practice the regional restrictions haven't been smooth sailing and the government hasn't been able to manage them at all well.

Finally the effect of the regional variations is just to allow the lower tier areas to catch up a bit to the higher tiers. Slapping the entire UK into tier 3 and then phasing regions one by one into tier 4 is just beyond Deloitte.

another of their team

Who's in a team?
Are you also in a team?

 

[Mottie]

Who's in a team?

Basically, Boogermans tag team is anyone that voted against Brexit who hates the U.K. and its government.
