On a more positive note: I never thought much of Starmer before he was leader but since he’s got the job I actually think he’s coming across very well. We might actually end up with a viable and competent opposition for the first time in years.
From Johnson’s POV Labour couldn’t have chosen a worse leader imo. As Starmer the ex QC is capable of cutting through the meaningless guff and bluster, in a measured way and using fact to dismantle it.
The reduced numbers in the HoC has left Johnson looking like an exposed lightweight, as he hasn’t got hundreds of sycophants sat behind him cheering his deflections and cack handed responses.
Hence the reason they’ve been so desperate to smear Starmer that 3 of their MP’s retweeted that doctored video produced by a far right linked account, without checking its veracity.

I think people starting to flout lockdown rules was driven primarily by the fact that over a week before they were relaxed, it was made known they were going to be relaxed.....
In the week leading up to the announcement all the usual right wing mouthpieces, the Govt aligned press and the usual Tufton St lobby groups, were all singing from the same hymn sheet.
Pardon my scepticism, but the relaxing of lockdown was imo driven by pressure from the donors and tax dodgers who ultimately control the ****show. Billionaires and multi millionaires need the plebs with their noses back to the grindstone, as without the toil of the plebs their income is curtailed. Science was manipulated to try and justify it.
We’ll see in the coming weeks what the effect of it is. Personally I think we’ll see another large spike as the infection level is still high and we’ve not introduced any form of track and trace yet, in order to try and isolate infection hotspots. More social interaction will therefore lead to a higher infection rate. I’d love to be proven wrong like.
Self-deprecating ... but uneccesary ... the forum already let's me know when you have posted to a thread I've contributed to![]()

On a serious note I think you talk a load of bollox.
This British medical journal article pretty much covers what has gone wrong in our plans to control the spread of this virus

Interesting read, but I dont agree with the low China deaths, they have had way more than UK and Italy
How do you know that Q Tip? ... they were quick to total lockdown and to mass testing ... unlike dithering Boris and, for that matter, Italy ... New Zealand did the same as China and look at their figures ... do you think they are lying too?
