One of many no doubt.

I've never defended Boris.

Apparently Ms Thornberry would be an excellent addition to the gov during this world health crisis.

Fair enough. But if we’re gonna discount any one MP on the basis of stupid things that they’ve said, we may as well send the lot of them home.

Arguably South Korea has, Germany, although having not stopped the spread, has a very low mortality rate.

Generally, in my opinion, countries have been too slow to react, too slow to scale up the vital things needed (testing, ventilators etc), a concern about tanking the economy has paralysed action. Pick a reason.

That's because we were too worried about protecting the economy to put in restrictions to help nip this in the bud when it was first seen. Not such a wise decision in hindsight.

Give it up mate. There is no alternative.

I‘m genuinely interested in how she would make a difference....

Apparently all the members of parliament in the country besides the government are a group of eejits. And we should carry on just as we are because everything is going to plan.

Keep calm and keep your head firmly planted in your buttocks. I mean carry on.

Anybody defending the government's response here needs to take a reality check. Boris Johnson is a laughable buffoon and has surrounded himself with equally inept individuals who just cannot seem to tell the truth. As soon as this passes they need binning off once and for all. They also need to be grilled on why they were so bad at responding to this (obviously won't be).

Don't say that around here mate, they'll start quoting the Daily Express to you.

I don’t think that’s been said by anybody in this thread ?

The point a few seem to be making is that saying “we need change and more input from parliament” isn’t a particularly concise suggestion and repeating ad nauseam is a bit boring.

I think it’s fair to ask who these members of parliament would be...

I wouldn’t trust Emily Thornberry to tell me the time if I’m honest, strikes me as a very slippery character.

Spain's death toll rises sharply
Spain's death toll from the coronavirus has risen by 950 in a single day, the country's health ministry says.

It brings the total there to 10,003, the second highest in the world behind Italy.

Of course it's fair to ask and when I get your vote I'll give you the answers. In the meantime. How are things your end, rosy?

They should bring in El Emilio Thornberri to save the day

Isn’t she the one who said they were so poor that they had to have the cats put down ?.......hahahahahaha........

Why do you think the only two positions to hold are yours (others you can't name need bringing in) or the other (everything is fine and working)?

You realise there can be other positions? Such as thinking things aren't being handled great but we're not sure who/what could be done differently.

One of many no doubt.

An elderly man near us died 2 days ago having contracted it in his local when a gang returned from Cheltenham. We know others that have been contact-traced because they were in the same bar that day - one of them lives 100 miles away.
