Mostly. Obviously the odd rogue comment gets usually stoic Brits all hysterical.
Your not allowed to say things like that! We live in a censorship police state you know
Our understanding of the English language clearly differs.
Under your definitions and use of the word that’s a very ‘woke’ post Ellers.
Doesn't it just. As it stands, my sympathies go out to all the families that have lost loved ones during this time. The front line medics who have lost their lives, bus drivers, ordinary people etc. Those that have given everything for very little. Wouldn't wish it upon anyone.
Sadly not Bob
Too many "glad he's got it " "hope he dies" type comments
I'm sure the same posters would be outraged if anyone else said the same things about any of their own relatives
Pathetic
Yes that is disgusting, absolutely disgusting. The particular social media platforms should ban these people immediately. Like I say, you can not like someone but you certainly wouldn't wish them harm.
In this context, censuring someone means preventing them from speaking about a certain subject. Jeff is merely asking why it's necessary to attach political criticisms to comments hoping the PM gets well, when he is clearly seriously ill.
I don’t really care that much. Snowflakes.
I think some peoples actions are remembered for a long time. It's a way of expressing ones sympathies for someone despite actually not liking them. There is no rule book for expressing sympathy and each can do it however they see fit. I believe that if your not going to sympathise with his or anyone elses situation then it's best not to say anything at all. It could also be argued as to why people see the need to praise him whilst sympathising. That's their prerogative and shouldn't have to be questioned by others as to their sincerity.

I think praise and criticism here are different here, Bob. If someone is seriously ill, and you want to sympathise and praise, that's positive. If you want to hope someone gets well because we're all human and frail at the end of the day, that's fine. But to take the opportunity to have a go at the bloke while he's ill is negative and, for me, says more about the poster than it does about the person commentated upon.
We will have to agree to disagree Goldy.
There is no rule book so it just boils down to opinion.
To myself and many other, Boris is no more or less important than the bus driver who has just lost his life or the front line medic who has left a family behind. My deepest sympathies go out to all. To others he is the PM the most important person in the land and I'm sure their sympathies are no stronger or weaker than my own.
Sir John Bell, leading the team which is pursuing the antibody test says it will be at least a month before an antibody test will be available for the public.
Chris Whitty, CMO (welcome back Chris!), says that doesn’t matter because not enough people have been infected yet to bother with testing the public. Now I usually like Chris, but two questions:
- in the absence of testing and data on asymptomatic cases, and the numbers of non recorded sympomatic cases just how the **** do you know how many people have been infected?
- have you considered that real people who suspect they have had the virus might want the test as soon as possible because they want to reassure theme selves that they won’t pass it on to vulnerable friends and relatives and that they want to get back to work?

Meanwhile in the Times Tom Tugenhat or whatever his name is has launched a massive, broadside attack on China, from giving us the disease to profiteering by selling us faulty ****. Good man.

The more I see and hear of these scientific experts, the more I wish I had gained a GCSE in science as i reckon i would be on par with them!
Fair enough, Bob. And of course, I agree with your later post that where health is concerned, we're all human and equally important. Where leadership is concerned, it's probably true that the care Boris is getting is the very best the NHS can offer because as PM, his health and recovery could have an important effect on the health and welfare of the population he leads
