After all, we can't be fare short of 'Mission Accomplished' going by the usual suspects coming out of their holes to defend the Tories this morning. Hard to defend something when you don't tell anyone who you voted for, Edward, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got it. Incidentally, there are many other countries not in the EU who have also out-performed our tripe government. What lame excuse are you making to bad-mouth all of them too? I dont think anybody is giving our Government a pass. I think they are just trying to be sensible and use reasonable comparatives to judge our response. France, Italy and Spain all located close by and have reasonably similar statistics to us. Therefore, if people are questioning our performance and talking up the EU then it is right that it is questioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merely pointing out that every country has made mistakes in this pandemic. England has the most cases of Covid 19 in the U.K. which is the most densely populated country in Europe with international travel and a substantial BAME population. Which country is exactly the same so you can compare like for like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even better if it's just to announce that he has thought of a dance that we all could do while singing Happy Birthday and washing our hands.

1967Ram Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 If it's correct, and a new slogan is being introduced today by the government (Stay Alert > Control the virus > Save Lives) my view is what's the point in that? Does dropping the 'Protect the NHS' mean it doesn't need protecting anymore? At least we're keeping the 'Save Lives' bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrade 86 Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 54 minutes ago, Norman said: Corona. For the many not the few. Can't Boris just regurgitate his first one? "We'll send this virus packing in only 12 weeks... ahem, err;. well, actually I meant months, we'll send it packing in 12 months... or thereabouts". Or how about, "30,000 isn't 20,000 but it's not half a million either'. That's pretty punchy, right? Or maybe Cummings would come up with something snappier like, "Old people. Who needs them anyway?" Maybe Pithy Patel could do one (I think many would like her to) but it wouldn't be snappy like Dom's. Maybe something like, "Our critics predicted the gong of the doomsday clock but it never even reached eleventy-midnight". Or maybe, "50,000 dead, but at least shoplifting is down". That seems catchier and it contains a fictitious, sorry, I meant 'aspirational' number, which we all know is something you bus botherers like. Job's a good'un I reckon ?

I believe alot of people will apply common sense and wait to see the detail coming in the following days. The only people who have whipped them into a state of confusion will be the same ones who have been saying not to rush coming out of the lockdown over the last week. But it’s the government, they’re supposed to govern, lead, & reassure in uncertain times. What we get is buzz words and crappy slogans. We’ll be expected to use common sense, but since when has the Great British Public been known for their collective common sense?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isnt your first line just buzz words? As much as people are pretending this isnt a political matter that's exactly what it has turned into. I'd say the responses on both sides have been completely predictable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who do you think is 'up to it'? What have you seen from countries comparable to ours to suggest that our Government is not 'up to it'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
