You haven't said anything about the actual debate itself, so what do you expect?

- posting the same post twice just because nobody commented on it first time round is needy, look-at-me shit.
- yes, this is an internet forum. I'm allowed to agree with things other people post.
Now, do you have any other questions?


You can agree with who you want, about what you want. Just as I can reiterate a point, if it's material to the debate.

Deaths slightly less than yesterday yet Piers Morgan calls it a spike in numbers.

Did it barely rate a mention, or was it headlines?

b’ all accounts it might even be worse than this.

It seems the buggers aren’t counting the elderly folk dying from the plague in care homes.


England....the sick man of Europe in 2020.
Alex Young, Howard Kendall, Andy King, Timmy Cahill, Dixie Dean and Mike Parry.....we'll never see the likes of them again.

Morgan is referring to 'experts' forecasting 66000 dead in the UK by August. Other 'experts say this is a load of bollocks, and it won't be half that amount.

Who's right? Who knows? No fucker, that's who.

Piers is referring to a big spike in numbers presumably from yesterday.
This is plainly wrong and designed to panic and scare

Since when did what Piers Morgan says mean anything to anyone?

One set of experts predicted 66k and Morgan adopted this .
Has been ridiculed as the same study has USA at 68k ie 2 k more than UK
Think it may have been based if no -one isolated.

Basically a scaremongering tactic
20k will be bad enough !

Good luck to Boris and I hope he gets better ; but woefully inept at dealing with this.

We all know that many deaths that are attributed to the virus are people in care homes and the like who would have died anyway.
Surely the only statistic that matters is, on statistical average, how many more people per day are dying than usual?
Anyone (such as Tick) that uses 'gammon' as a racial pejorative is as much a racist as those who use the word nigger and similar pejoratively.

Get Covid Done.

It's painful listening to the Hancock, Jenrick, Gove, Raab et al telling us that millions and millions of PPE has been sent out and yet we have everyone on the front line crying out that they have no PPE. Hospitals in London and Yorkshire, I read, are close to running out of everything they need.

I think I know who I believe.

It's horrendous isn't it? We'd have done a better job as an independent nation, IMO. Seems petty point scoring at this,but the UK state has handled this horrendously.
