Educate yourself...

BBC One - Panorama, Has the Government Failed the NHS?

The delays and mistakes that may have put the lives of NHS staff at risk.

My word, you didn't actually understand the conclusions of that did you? Weren't prepared, government lowered standards so they could be claiming to be 'doing something' despite the fact it could lead to unintended consequences.. In fact what you are advocating is something experts have explicitly labelled as 'not fit for purpose.' - https://www.theguardian.com/society...purpose-uk-medics-condemn-covid-19-protection

so you can’t answer then? There’s a shock. His comments on Hillsborough and the people of this city are vulgar and unforgivable and I’m amazed that anybody who supports a club from this city can do anything but dislike him for that alone

He has always refused to apologise too. Having said that people are entitled to form their own opinions.

 

[Barnfred 55]

I agree with your comment on his technique I probably do disagree with your comment on the end result. I’m not sure he generates a lot of sympathy, maybe he does .
Perhaps you , me or both of us are allowing ourselves to see what we want .

It's the old is the BBC left wing or right wing chestnut. Both sides believe it's the other.

It‘s not even a very clever interview technique. Why ministers go along with him I have no idea. He’s a showman, not an interviewer. Bullying or non ending questioning just elicits sympathy for the now victim......

Piers Morgan 'Man of the people' lollollollollollollol

I would be very careful who you call mate
You could give him the opinion he has a friend on here

Is he deffo 100% RS.

 

[Brisan123]

Is he deffo 100% RS.

Without a shadow of a doubt
To his credit he is disciplined and walks a very fine line with no meltdowns as seen by kieran

Latest ONS figures which show all fatalities linked - to the virus both in and out of hospital are due to be released today.

That was standard practice in Italian covid 19 wards

Physio and massage apparently also been found to be effective treatment.

Obviously that adds even more risk for the carers, though!

It's the old is the BBC left wing or right wing chestnut. Both sides believe it's the other.

Which means it's probably somewhere in the middle the vast majority of the time

I’m no fan of Morgan and I’ve openly said that on numerous occasions .

however if government ministers want to come on the telly not answer questions and repeat the “we’re following the science manta” ,which reeks of Cummings by the way , they have to expect to be harshly challenged on it .

If you’re a minister and a member of the government you can’t expect to simply duck questions because it suits you . I’ve no time for Morgan or his history but I’d be happy enough to see Jeffery archer , klopp or Gerrard getting into them if it meant questions were being asked and they were being called on their obvious BS being .

It seems attempts are being made to censor the written press , we have questions over the independence of much of the media, we haven’t had questions from the opposition for much of this . I don’t want to see a government simply lie and unchallenged be allowed to promote falsehoods as truth particularly during a huge crisis such as this .

All I see is a load of Tory supporters crying that their Government led by Johnson is now getting the same treatment of accountability from Morgan and elsewhere that Corbyn got on a daily basis whether there or not. Suck up the Brawndo...

like Covid19, I try to avoid any contact with Morgan......

 

[peteblue]

It's worth remembering that he comes from a tabloid background, and his television style is a tabloid one. You wouldn't turn to a red top to be informed on something.

How the police allow him into the studio I don’t know, I thought they were supposed to stop non essential travel......

This kowaski disease is very worrying..

 

[peteblue]

Latest ONS figures which show all fatalities linked - to the virus both in and out of hospital are due to be released today.

It’ll probably hit 30k. But whatever the number is it’s just a number. The real sorrow is for each and every family who lose someone with an actual name and face.....the rest of us just pray we are not included.....

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

Shameful, no wonder the Government wanted to exclude non hospital deaths from COVID19. Now I wish we could compare ourselves to Italy, we will be second to USA for deaths...

Coronavirus: Care home deaths up as hospital cases fall

Outbreaks in care homes claiming 2,000 lives a week, but hospital fatalities are going down.
