What's your hair like? If it is normal ok, good advice . If it's wispy, blonde and has that fly away look to it I will dismiss your advice as fake news and refuse ever to read your posts again.
Poor Peter, bleating that no one is listening to him. To be honest I haven’t read his detailed arguments, does he think we should just lift the restrictions completely, or is it an argument about liberty and not practicalities? Isn’t the rate a bit irrelevant compared to the actual number of excess deaths? Sure, if it’s correct (I hope it is) it’s a much more comfortable number and as he says it’s what was originally predicted. But if 40 million of us get the virus it’s still 300,000 deaths, assuming we do nothing to stop it’s spread, which is what I assume he wants. And that excludes all these ‘mystery’ excess deaths that aren’t attributed to COVID19. For balance I’ve gone off his late brother a bit too. Something desperate about both of them.
This is why the British (English) public can not be trusted. The sheer ****ing stupidity on display for no ****ing reason. We are ****ed.
I wouldn’t say “Poor Peter” is “bleating”. I’d say his job is to continue repeating what he believes and try and persuade. He gets far worse about than that on his Twitter thread and generally responds by politely asking the antagonist if they actually have anything useful to say, particularly facts that may disprove his position. I’ve seen little. The stuff about the number of deaths is understandably emotional. But, one in 133 ‘patients’. If the 6 million is correct then the death rate is 1 in 200. That maths doesn’t work for me as it suggest that 2/3rd of those infected become ‘patients’, doesn’t it? Have 4 million required hospital treatment? No, he’s never said lift the restrictions completely. He thinks social distancing is appropriate. But he does believe crashing the economy is a disproportionate measure compared with the threat. More and more are starting to ask similar questions, so perhaps he is an early bleater. Desperate? Interesting.
As he is a journalist for the Daily Mail we would surely have to start at a point of serious mistrust, no?
Peter Jonathan Hitchens is an English conservative journalist and author. Hitchens writes for The Mail on Sunday and is a former foreign correspondent in Moscow and Washington. He has published eight books, including The Abolition of Britain, The Rage Against God, and The War We Never Fought. Wikipedia Not this guy then?
More than a touch pedantic! Maybe the Hitchins approach is right. Let it do what it is going to do but this would mean the whole of the UK public agreeing to the terms and taking responsibility. Many, albeit not the majority, seem to be totally incapable of acting in a responsible manner.
If it is linked to the Daily Mail online website then I suspect it could be construed as the same! Or no? I actually agree with some of his points
Accurate. Forgive me, but I think you’re criticising what you like to believe he’s said on the subject rather than actually equipping yourself with his true position.
