Covid deaths

France - 60,549
England - 58,807

Macron currently has a 32% popularity rate with the French. Johnson currently has a 38% popularity rate.

France has way more problems than England.
I believe they've also taken to rioting and dumping **** on their leaders doorstep.

Land borders with Italy, Spain and Germany being just three of them.
 
I previously mentioned that a Country such as Australia would find it much easier than GB to take advantage of their Island status.

Today we learn of another outbreak in Sydney.
Restrictions have been ratcheted up, but not quickly enough to stop those residents who can, doing a runner.

My often expressed view is that MOST Politicians are a bunch of glory hunters on an ego trip, hasn't changed.
However I am prepared to credit even Boris, with trying.
If parts of Australia, with all their geograhical advantages, is unable to keep this virus under control, WHAT CHANCE GB?

And we're actively doing things about it to keep it under control.

Here in South Australia you have to scan a QR code at every shop/cafe/pub or other business/area that the public may attend. This info is stored for 28 days and if an outbreak occurs all people who were at a location the infected person was at are contacted and isolated.

All states are shutting borders restricting travel. People infected are moved to a medi hotel until they are cleared.

The outbreak in Sydney was a result of a single person not quarantining as they were supposed to. If governments take it seriously and the people do the right thing it's controllable, especially on an island.

We had a teenage girl test positive after allegedly contracting it by picking up a pizza and the whole state was locked down that day.

Problem that i see in the UK is that too many people don't give a ****. Shut down inter county travel and i'm fairly certain you'd see a reduction in transmission rates.

French population 67 million, English 56 million. 903 deaths for every million in France, 1050 for every million in England. Just to add a bit of balance.
French are ****ing mental though, they'll riot if someone they don't like farts.
 
Of all the well-off countries i think we have the worst death rate % of the population. Our economy has also taken the biggest hit compared to other most other developed countries.

So Bonko is not just useless he is worse than incompetent...

He always said covid 19 lockdowns to save deaths/protect the NHS had to be balanced with keeping the economy going...he has managed to produce the worst of both worlds.

As well as shelling out billions to chums..Test, Track and Trace still does not work.
This. Totally incompetent.
He can’t even ‘get Brexit done’ well and he had no other policies.

I'm surprised they haven't rolled the guillotine out for Macron <laugh>

Well this mornings news headlines are full of festive cheer.

Lorries stuck in Kent, countries closing borders to the UK, suggestions of shortages of fresh produce over Christmas and New year, Covid out of control and the new strain in most parts of the UK.

The shops are going to be even worse than usual as people panic buy.

Its a perfect storm of ****

THE 12 MONTHS OF BORIS...

January: No need to be alarmed. It's a Chinese bug. We're bloody British.

February: It appears that the Italians can catch it too, but they rolled over to the Nazis in the war so it's to be expected.

March: Errrr, it looks like we can catch it after all. However, there's no need to panic, just stay two metres apart and sing happy birthday whilst washing your hands.

April: We could do with around 60% of you catching it, but you'll probably kill your gran in the process. This is becoming somewhat of a pickle we're in.

May: Yeah, we've totally ****ed it guys. It's spreading quicker than a 5g conspiracy. Stay the **** away from everyone unless you fancy popping out for a McDonald's.

June: You can definitely maybe get away with sitting within a metre of a perfect stranger in the park, but meeting up with a friend will lead to certain death.

July: You may get back in the pub, but only for essential drinks. Feel free to chat bubbles with a random in the smoking area, but leave immediately if you see a member of your family, or face arrest.

August: Eat out to help out! Every single UK citizen simply must rush out to do all the things we've asked you not to do for the last few months. It's your duty, and here's a tenner on us for your efforts.

September: You ghastly, little cretins! Who the **** told you to go out and spread the virus like that again? Have you listened to a bloody word we've said? Don't even come at me with your crocodile tiers, bro.

October: Work from home again unless your place of work has a till.

November: You can go and get your muff waxed and do a bit of Christmas shopping with thousands of others, but attendance restricted pubs, bars and restaurants still pose too much of a risk to mingle in.

December: Christmas is cancelled. See you all again in the new year for more absolute ****ery, you shower of ****s.

Working in the construction industry I have been proud this year that the industry has been told time and time again that we can continue to work on site as everyone knows construction sites are the most sanitised places in the UK.....

To be fair that's a lot clearer than the official version ....

Yes France isn't as bad and its all been clearer here hence the relative calm amongst people who love a protest. It's not like me to defend the French but they've been quite good with all this tbf.

I posted, weeks ago, that I'm expecting civil unrest in the UK around Christmas and still believe it will happen.

Nick Hancock saying the police will keep people in London during Tier 4 is just a joke ...

... we all know people will ignore it, thereby providing the excuse for the next wave of the virus.

He wasn't a very popular choice amongst a lot of his fellow Tories either.
