Current Affairs Coronavirus Politics Thread

[DrEFC]

I have cut Trump a lot of slack in what he's said and how he's behaved in his time in office, because he speaks his mind and shoots from the hip, which is a rare quality in most politicians.

However, his behaviour during this crisis has been utterly astonishing. Picking fights with journalists, bullying private companies to bail him out, and referring to the virus by such an inciteful term.

Its obnoxious and disgraceful, not befitting of a salesman, never mind a statesman.

whatever you may think of our current government, at least they conduct themselves with decorum and respect.

Your bar is very, very low. Apologies, I'm late to this thread. 1st weekend off in ages!

The last two days the news has been full of spokespeople from small manufacturers organisations in this country crying out to help make the kit, saying they are getting nowhere with the Govt.

If it was organised properly, we have enough capacity to produce everything we need with regards to PPE.

The British public has sleepwalked into giving this corrupt conservative government yet another mandate to destroy (and now literally kill) the middle and lower classes.

I hope all you conservative voters are sleeping well whilst the tories negligence is exposed for all to see by Covid-19.

Was thinking that and I wouldn't put it past him, he could slither under a door with a top hat on.

No he isn't. Not when he's supporting that butcher.

It's called foresight, the dolt. It's the essential quality for preparedness, which was sadly lacking.

I'm always surprised that no-one has flagged that the Sec of State at the DWP is a card-carrying Kopite

This government is chocca with them.

They are a Tory club from point of origin to the present.

Why middle / lower classes?

Most people here who have had it are the wealthy.
