Coronavirus - political views - supporting or otherwise...

Interesting that many hundreds can protest in a crowd without SD and the media are not jumping up and down 1 guy drives 260 miles and there is uproar.

Are there lockdown policy makers protesting?

I thought that’s what I said first time round ?

You may well have! But the words you wrote gave/allowed a different impression! A common issue on here or any forum - and probably the cause for much of your 'Grim Reaper' activity!

They screwed up on testing. I've had someone jump all over me making this point earlier in this thread but I do have some knowledge in this area and they didn't get their act together quickly enough. PPE as I've stated before was a global issue and I don't think you can hold them responsible for this because we don't control supply chain but testing is on them as far has I'm concerned.

Testing was something they had to set the framework up for from scratch. I'm content that they actually (nearly) did the right thing getting this established, though they missed their 1st 'target' and fudged their 'success'. They should have admitted 'wrong target' as the target ('People Tested' cf 'Tests Available') was not something 'in their control'! Better target 2nd time, (Tests Available) which they DID meet, though have 'hidden' the earlier 'embarrassing' metric.

It's 'pedantry'! Can't you get anything right?

The case for the prosecution rests M'lud....

Do we think the Tory voters on this site would be lenient in their criticism of Labour if they were in government right, in light of it being an unprecedented time?

Nah, me either.

Politics is like real life. Just more extreme.

It's very difficult to imagine the impossible !

Seems government are desperately seeking an expert willing to put their neck on the block advising one metre is safe for distancing...

 

[Doon frae Troon]

must be the governmen's fault for not laying out 2 metre squares with sticky tape

Naw…. Nicola Sturgeon's to blame again.
Where is she hiding, you never see her these days.

 

[rulefan]

She's having her hair done

Don't worry, in a couple of weeks, when even our bunch have realised what a catastrophy they have unleashed, Nick Hancock will unveil a special 'magic feather' which if carried will allow anyone not very old, sick or overweight to live life perfectly normally. Everyone will congratulate themselves on what we've achieved over the last 4 months apart from the millions out of work and those no longer receiving an education....

David Icke or Professor Pennington on call.

Ah. So "our bunch" really did import the virus from China. Probably part of the deal with Huawei.

Our response and the consequences are the catastrophe. But I'm guessing you already knew that...

Remind me. What were the actions that prompted it?

Aren't we in a situation where we either risk more people dying or we risk the economy going really tits up. But, due to whatever reason (I would say mostly government incompetence and poor leadership, others would disagree) we are in the situation where we are currently not in a great place now when it comes to deaths, test and trace etc. So people understandably are a bit weary of the measures being taken top open up more.

I don't think anyone is arguing we need to get the economy up and running, it's just that some of us would have liked us to be in a stronger position to begin that process. Other seem happy to ignore that and sweep it under the carpet.

Nicola breaks her 'non party political' promise and gives Tory Leader Jackson Carlaw a very well earned verbal ear bashing today.
Virtually all of Scotland say 'good on you'.
Can't believe she held it in so long after wasting far to much of her precious time replying to his idiotic ham fisted questions.
