LOCKDOWN

Snowflakes.

Selfish, second-rate people who love to make WW2 analogies yet when asked to do their (tiny) bit to help society in its hour of need, freak out like over-grown toddlers.

Their main complaint is that it apparently that it clashes with the party's "libertarian" values. What nonsense! The Tories are an authoritarian party - always have been, always will be, and more so than ever under Boris Johnson. You can tell that from how often they talk about fines. Why in mid-July are they talking about fining parents who don't send their kids back to school in September? It's so needlessly negative and confrontational.

I think some people just don't understand what they're voting and singing up for. A lot of Tory voters might benefit from doing one of those "whose policies do I agree with?" questionnaires, and might well find that a different party better reflects their views.

To be fair though Ian, when you've fought in and won a war that you weren't even alive during, you are obviously too hard to go around wearing a face mask. 

Nothing wrong with exploiting a deadly pandemic to turn a dirty dollar for your friends and sponsors as the Tory boys on here will tell you. And if a few extra tens of thousands die because you’re delaying awarding contracts for vital equipment until a Tory company can be found to sell kit at extortionate prices, then at least they died in the service of enriching the already super-rich. A noble cause.

Well, the Labour Party has now grown up and dealt with its crazy socialist element. At last we have an opposition that can challenge the kind problems you're embellishing above with a shred of credibility.

The Labour Party is socialist though, at least historically. It kind of feels like if they're moving away from that, they're defeating their own logic.

One thing I will give the Tories credit for at the moment is that they are in no way betraying their own ideology!

Let’s hope the Conservatives can deal with the crazy fascist element currently leading the Party.

I'm a bit baffled today no reported deaths in England Scotland 2 in Wales hospitals Reported 85. 2 in April 5 in May. Where the hell are they keeping them.

Don't have to do I you've already made the point for me thanks, and contradicted your post of 138 deaths yesterday.

There wasn't.

You seem to have missed the word 'announced' out again, but don't worry just keep on with your sensationalism.

I never posted 138 deaths yesterday. Apologies accepted in advance.

I missed the comma it was zero in Scotland there seems to be a hell of a delay in reporting deaths

The photos and videos from Magaluf show just why we are top of the infection and death rate League. No words to describe such behaviour. At least the Spanish only have them for one or two weeks a year!

It does remind you a bit of Animal Farm where the pigs keep changing the rules as soon as they break them.

Orwell was supposed to be warning about communism there, but it applies to any highly authoritarian government, right or left.
