Coronavirus

I am no Tory - far, far from it, but I have very few complaints with the measures the chancellor has put in place to help the majority of us at the moment. It hasn't been perfect and mistakes have been made, but I recognise that would have happened anyway no matter who was in power because we have never dealt with something this bad in modern times. This will all need paying for though, and if that means those of us who come out of this with jobs need to pay a hell of a lot more tax in the short term and a bit more going forward then that seems fair to me.

As for the NHS - we need some serious investment in the short term and proper investment going forward. If that results in high tax rises for the foreseeable future then so be it. It is an investment worth making as far as I am concerned.

 

That is why there will never be enough funding

 

Agree mate ... I'm certainly no Tory but he has been a revelation ... worry for him because Bojo will be resenting his growing reputation and kudos ...

 

...that 85% of those who contract it don't even know they've had it.

 

Maybe

 

15% of a big number, is still a big number

 

Mate I know 3 nurses and the PPE is a mess.
Totally disorganised !
They are very worried !

 

Of that 15%, 99.99% will recover.

 

Source?

No chance.

 

Look at the numbers. Work it out for yourself.

It isn't rocket science.

 

Disrespect is a common theme running through your exhilarating repartee.

 

I completely agree. The chancellor has done a good job with dealing with the here and now, but the mess with the rest of it is real.

 

... all well and good ... but not much of a consolation to the families of the 38,000 that have now died from this pandemic ... close to 400 in the UK today alone and 859 in Spain ... this sniffle is a bit of a Bastard eh?

 

Source please Cliff. The numbers suggest the death rate is higher than 0.01%.

 

He’s flipped since he’s been locked up at home with his family and the conveyancing work has dried up. He’s locked in til May at the earliest!

 

Yeah financial support has been swift but I really dont understand the NHS lack of supply!
The excel centre seems to be a flagship promotional exercise but little news of the actual frontline !

 

The priority is saving the economy.

 

Want to test it out

 

Guaranteed that Leslie has enough bog roll to build a small fort.

 

So we should just sweep it under the carpet so you can get back to earning dosh ?
