Coronavirus thread, please.
Ellers gets upset when we don’t back the Tories’ horrific decision-making on there so this seemed fairer. Not sure why we can’t grant them the permanent right to stay here. They’re clearly needed.
Actually I could say something about that tweet which is true and correct but it probably wouldn't go down well with our Woke community.
I blame Brexit.I come onto the thread expecting some pearls of wisdom from Pompey....so where is he?? Hugely disappointing
Mind you, the quality of debate on this thread hasn't improved since I last visited

Pearls of wisdom? Have you ever been to Pompey?
You may need a cigarette after reading this.
I think this screed has been updated to reflect more recent Trumpfuckwittery.
"An Open Letter to the president"....... A re-tweet from Mötley Crüe drummer, Tommy Lee, who soooooo wins the literary scribe of the day award........ :
"Dear ****ing Lunatic,
At your recent press conference - more a word salad that had a stroke and fell down stairs, you were CLEARLY so out of your depth you needed scuba gear. Within minutes of going off air, your minions were backpedaling faster than Cirque De Soliel acrobats... In India a week ago, i couldn’t get past the bit about your being the most popular visitor in the history of ****ing India — a country of a BILLION human souls that’s only 3000 years old, give or take.!!! Trust me - Gandhi pulled CROWDS.. You pulled a cricket stadium and half WALKED out...
Do you know how ****ing insane you sound, you off-brand butt plug? That's like the geopolitical equivalent of “that stripper really likes me” — only 10,000 times crazier and less self-aware.
You are ****ing exhausting. Every day is a natural experiment in determining how long 300 million people can resist coring out their own assholes with an ice auger. Every time I hear a snippet of your Queens-tinged banshee larynx farts, I want to scream!
We are ****ing tired. As bad as we all thought your presidency would be when Putin got you elected, it’s been inestimably worse.
You called a hostile, nuclear-armed head of state “short and fat.” How the **** does that help?
You accused a woman — a former friend, no less — of showing up at your resort bleeding from the face and begging to get in. You, you, YOU — the guy who looks like a Christmas haggis inexplicably brought to life by Frosty’s magic hat — yes, you of all people said that.
You attempted — with evident ****ing glee — to get 24 million people thrown off their health insurance.
You gave billions away to corporations and the already wealthy while simultaneously telling struggling poor people that you were doing exactly the opposite.
You endorsed a ****phile, praised brutal dictators, and defended LITERAL ****ING NAZIS!
Ninety-nine percent of everything you say is either false, crazy, incoherent, just plain cruel, or a rancid paella of all four.
Oh, by the way, Puerto Rico is still FUBAR. You got yourself and your family billions in tax breaks for Christmas. What do they get? More paper towels?
Enough, enough, enough, enough! For the love of God and all that is holy, good, and pure, would you please, finally and forever, shut your feculent KFC-hole until you have something valuable — or even marginally civil — to say?
You are a fried dick sandwich with a side of schlongs. If chlamydia and gonorrhea had a son, you’d appoint him HHS secretary. You are a disgraceful, pustulant hot stew full of casuistry, godawful ideas, unintelligible non sequiturs, and malignant rage.
You are the perfect circus orangutan diaper from Plato’s World of Forms.
So **** you Mr. President. And **** you forever.
Oh, and Pence, you oleaginous house ferret. **** you, too. You'll be as useful as a chocolate teapot against a medical crisis you Bible thumping cock socket."

Does seem odd they have given contracts to Tory donors who haven’t made ventilators and there does seem to be a lot of people coming forward to suggest the rest of what is being said is correct.
Surely, if proven, this is clear corruption and criminal.
They are both bang on favourites for re-election then.
I notice the word 'woke' being used more and more on this board and elsewhere as a term of abuse or scorn. I've looked it up, and the definition is 'alert to injustice in society, especially racism'. Could we have a term for those who couldn't give a **** about these things?
Yeah I wonder why that is supposedly an insult. We do have a word for those who don’t give a **** about these things, it’s Tory
I wish it was Strolls.
Not that the party will care but they’ve lost my vote
Why's that?
He’s too far to the centre for me and will adopt a ‘Blairite’ direction for the party (I expect anyway)
I’m assuming old Lefties like me will go back to a soon to be reformed TUSC
sadly the media will do a hatchet job on him and a lot of people will buy into it. I’m certainly not saying Corbyn was beyond criticism but let’s face it most of what was said about him was absolute horseshit.
wouldn’t disagree with that but words such as left, socialism and liberal are seen as such bad things by a lot of people I don’t think Labour had much of a choice, from what I’ve seen of Starmer he seems to back traditional labour values as much as today’s political overview will allow without people shouting Venezuela every five seconds
