Oh dear. Sadly, in this country, Boris the Butcher of Britain seems to be unable to do any wrong in this country. Even when faced with a totally bald lie, like us achieving 100k tests per day, the tory hordes still back him.

Not sure if you would have heard this one, Eric, but the Government set a plan to hit 100k tests per day by the end of April. Surprise, surprise, they made it on the 30th! However, they happened to briefly & quickly mention that the number included a roll-up of 40k tests that had been mailed out. Not mailed out & returned - simply mailed out. A bit like an insurance salesman getting a massive bonus for sending out 40k proposals & failing to sign up one of them. <doh> But they tell me everything's ok now, as Boris the Butcher of Britain has declared that we have a new target of 200k for the end of May.

And let's not forget the £60k the Government are giving to the families of the NHS fallen. No doubt they will be signing their life away, as it will be a 'full & final settlement' that prevents them from suing when the Government are finally exposed for knowingly putting lives at risk unnecessarily.
Oh dear, it gets worse ..... https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politic...ce-government-fly-50000-coronavirus-tests-us/
 
I know that the truth isn't always as written and I'm not in the UK so I don't know what has actually happened but if this is nearly right then .............

Italy stopped flights from China in January, but it was too late, it was already here because China who started with it in November lied to the world. I believe most of our cases and spread came from the EU who insisted we allowed the spread from Italy be allowed with open borders till it was too late, sure Boris made mistakes, the same ones every government in Europe did, Cheltenham races etc didn't help, but remember a very large number of the people and Horses at Cheltenham came from the ROI who also did nothing to stop it going ahead, didn't they cancel a rugby game, then allow hundreds of Italians fly over for a piss up and spread the virus anyway.

"Four million cases, world wide". Wow, that only leaves approximately seven billion, four hundred and fifty six million unaffected (Maths is not my strong subject)..
No we realised that when you paid £10 to go Aussie when all the others were sent for free <whistle>
How do you think lockdown will effect Aussie ? Do you think without civilization flying in, you will return to being murderers, rapists and cannibalism ? <whistle>

As long as you are happy with what your government has achieved that's fine by me it was just when I read through the list of actions and missed opportunities it did seem as though, admittedly with hindsight, that better options were available. Given a choice of following EU laws or saying "sod you I'm saving my citizens" I'm surprised Johnson did the former.

I recon the Ant eaters got it off millwall fans.you won't last long now the chinks are stopping eating bat's, rats, cat's and dogs since we told them Aussies taste like chicken. ;)
They were more convinced when we told them that cane toads have aphrodisiac qualities. Two problems solved in one easy step and it's a win/win situation.

That same weekend Football was permitted to go ahead but they called it off themselves. I do wonder how much worse the spread would have been with one more entire weekend of football fixtures.

I have no doubt that you are right about the lives saved but don't you find it odd that an organisation whose prime objective is to make money took this action rather than the government whose primary role is to protect the citizens of their country?

The results would have been horrendous, have you seen the one guy went out night clubing with it In South Korea, think they have found another 20 with it off him so far.

Bit like the EU insisting on open borders for freedom of movement, cost many thousands of lives that one, yet they never mention it, because there would be no more EU if they did.
Think the football stopping was probably the players pushing for it, rather than the leagues as players were showing symptoms at some clubs by then.
