I think that point is spot on, the death cult supporters on here have no option but to double down because they can’t face the reality that this is what they voted for.

Yet none of you can tell us how Labour would have dealt with it Any Administration that prioritised saving lives over turning a profit for their mates would have done a better job. This week the Government claimed that 30% of U.K. Coronavirus cases are spread through pubs and restaurants but the ‘world beating’ U.K. contact tracing app, despite registering 1.5 million check-ins, has sent out just one (ONE!!!) alert about an outbreak in a venue. Appreciate all you Tory boys trying to deflect the blame for the carnage, but you voted for it, so own it. Well come on what have Labour actually said they would have done different |

Well come on what have Labour actually said they would have done different I don’t think Labour would have appointed Dido Harding to run Test and Trace for a start. Her CV makes Mark Maguire look like Lee Iacocca such is her record of failure. We wouldn’t have Matt Hancock as Health Minister, which is another bonus and I don’t believe Labour would be throwing £Billions at dodgy shell companies with abysmal records of service delivery. Not hard to see how anybody, not just Labour, could have done things better. |

Rishi Sunak to let furloughed workers pay for 2/3 of their food, 2/3 of their rent, 2/3 of their bills, 2/3 of their mortgage... oh wait, no... they’re just getting 2/3 of their pay.
Meanwhile £30billion has been handed to private profiteering companies since the start of the pandemic.

Do I have this right, Chester is now classed as Tier 2, therefore no mixing indoors with anyone outside of your household? Therefore being a single guy I'm basically unable to meet friends and have a drink socially
Liverpool is under Tier 3, full lockdown of all pubs. What is stopping, for example students who live together travelling on Merseyrail into Chester for beer and spreading the virus?

If you live in a Tier 3 area, you're not supposed to travel unless it's essential. I live in Merseyside and work in Cheshire, and I've successfully convinced my employer that it is not essential for me to commute to work.
I keep wondering if you really must go to the pub, why not text your mates, all turn up separately on your own, and then pretend you made friends while you were in the pub? After all, isn't that what pubs are for?

It is yes, though Chester pubs have been table service only for a while now. And chatting to mates on individual tables metres apart isn't my idea of a good night. For what it's worth just because your're not supposed to travel unless it's essential, isn't going to stop people flouting the rules in search of a beer and a night out. Can see the powers that be scratching there heads in a few weeks time, wondering why the infection rates have soared in Chester ahd surrounding areas. Then again, I tend to find in life common sense tends to be lacking in so called "intelligent" people. |

‘Twas the night before lockdown
When all through the house
No more than six could gather socially
Unless to hunt grouse
Children were tucked all snug in their beds
Adults home by curfew off their f**king heads
Then what did I spy on this cold winter’s night
But a Tory advisor driving to test his eyesight
More rapid than eagles his cronies came
And he whistled and shouted and called them by name
“On Boris, On Hancock, On Raab” he did cheer
“We’ll announce a new lockdown and there’ll be three tiers”
“We’ll pin it on students, the North and barstools”
“Even though the science says it’s workplaces and schools”
Then Boris grinned and uttered with no shame:
“We’ll absolve ourselves of all of the blame!”
“You c**ts!” I yelled out
“You’re all prize b******s”
I saw Boris was startled, and so were his friends
And as they made their escape off into the night
They said “Merry Lockdown to all and we couldn’t give a sh*te”

Surprise surprise, SAGE called for a brief lockdown last month, including pubs closing and universities going online, but the government once again didn't listen.
Not a great look for Boris to single out Liverpool for Tier 3 restrictions, given he's made no secret of his contempt for the city in the past. Can't help but worry that these local lockdowns are a convenient managed decline opportunity.

Merseyside is THE Labour stronghold now - more so than South Yorkshire, which has gone a bit Brexity. Some analysts have put it down to the Sun barely being sold in Liverpool at all, hence it's "Good old Bojo!" stance not having the effect it has elsewhere in the country.
Wirral West and South are generally pretty affluent, and you sense anywhere else in the country they would be Tory, but the Scouse kinship seems to keep them red.

The valleys of South Wales are still staunch. The areas given tier three lockdowns smack of political games by this government. I bet their home county strongholds aren’t getting the same short shrift. |

Seems Lancashire is now moving to Tier 3, but a different Tier 3 to Liverpool with its gyms staying open.
As always, nonsensical and unclear from these frigging clowns.

The Tories giving Police access to Serco Test and Trace data is surely the final nail in the coffin for this failed scheme. Their sheer incompetence is difficult to comprehend.

Unless the schools and colleges are closed then the lockdown will have zero affect, on the transmission rate.The only way the regional lockdowns would work is with a fully functioning track and trace system, not the current shambles. Once again hospitality gets the brunt of it . Unless substantial financial support is forthcoming for those involved and the mortgage holiday relief scheme re-introduced. Then millions of jobs are going to be lost and the self inflicted damage of Brexit, on top. Unbelievable incompetence.

Boris Johnson has a way of communicating that is neither reassuring, nor conveys any sense of seriousness.
Why use words like "medical disaster", yet at the same time say there is not a "shred of a doubt" that lockdown will end in four weeks? He makes a rod for his own back and I just can't take him seriously at all.

I know it’s a bit of a crowded market, but Nadine Dorries must be one of the most disgusting Tory ministers amongst the present crop. The rude and arrogant way she rejected the offer of cross-party working from Dr Rosina Allin-Khan for mental health support for health workers has to be seen to be believed. Absolute scum of the earth.

I think the problem is people don't look closely at the person they're voting for, just the colour of the rosette they're wearing. A prime example being Robert Roberts in Delyn. I was unlucky enough to have some dealings with him a few years ago and could have told anyone he'd be an absolute waste. He's proved to be even worse than that but because people felt they couldn't vote for Labour then Tory was their choice, regardless of the fact he's a turd. |
