”If we’d surrendered earlier the Americans would not have dropped an Atomic bomb on us”.....If only Ferguson had Japanese relatives.....The man is a busted flush, his modelling has been shown to be crap and he is now trying to show himself as having a relevant input while hacking off those that are still in their jobs......the man is a waste of scientific space.....

‘We didn’t know, and I didn’t say, but looking back I can confidently say, now I’m not part of SAGE and my reputation is in the sewer, that 20 million people less would have died if I hade been in charge, or if I’d mentioned it at the time’.....the man is now an ex expert and proving himself to be a bit of a tosser.....burning his bridges with his fellow SAGE members....

What?!

 

[peteblue]

What?!

Ferguson, is trying to become relevant. He screwed up, in all senses, and he has been shown to have overblown the numbers with his modelling which has been discredited by fellow professionals. He is now using 20/20 hindsight and you could see from tonight’s briefing how upset the CSA and CMO were about him. His reputation has disappeared down the plug hole......

He's not an ex expert because he got caught having sex during lockdown. Perhaps if he were a tosser you wouldn't have the option to scapegoat him.

If you disagree with his scientific opinion then do so with science, but just calling him a tosser because he's an easy target makes you look a bit childish and hypocritical especially given your 'we've all moved on' mantra about Cummings..

Top shagger

Yep. Lockdown = pants down.

Tells me that we are two weeks behind Italy and that the French numbers have been made up and are out of synch...

Only if you're an imbecile.

France exactly 2 weeks ago today: previous 24 hours death toll - 57 people.
Italy exactly 2 weeks ago today: previous 24 hours death toll - 87 people.


Stop attempting to cover up a catastrophe implemented by Johnson and top Tories. At the very least, it makes you look a proper tit.

Screwed up? If it wasn't for him getting the government to [Poor language removed] themselves then we'd have 300,000-400,000 dead by now.

'I have no scientific basis to scapegoat this man so I'll simply call him names'

About time you 'moved on'

Proper bad day for Johnson today, not only is a light now being shone on lockdown being late by two weeks. This OECD report on UKs economic prospects coming out of this pandemic makes an absolute mockery of the claim they have been making the right decisions at the right times. Awful leadership and incompetent Government with its ideologies.

The big question there is which date is he talking about. 17 March when Johnson told people to stay in, stop going to pubs and restaurants, to social distance by 2m and only travel if necessary. Or 23 March when he brought in full lockdown

Amazing that they hired him then if hes that bad.

Just listening to Iain Dale (proper Tory hack), scathingly brutal about this loose term of Government.

And this Sage cabal don't even have a public health Doctor inputting, what a shambles who puts these groups together?

Im not sure mate, I know he's made a few statements today so I'm sure what he's said fully is online somewhere, I'm all about the soundbites.

Yep, the feeling is that even then Tories are turning against the oaf Johnson now.

If that is in fact true, I suspect it's because it's easier to ignore inconvenient truths if you don't hear them in the first place.

Yep, the feeling is that even then Tories are turning against the oaf Johnson now.

You'd have to be incredibly blinkered to not realise that our dealing of the crisis has been far from great, and Johnson has flickered in and out of the eye.

Even after his bout in hospital, has he really lead from the front? With the lack of loyalty that was shown before Johnson took charge, they'll be thinking ahead.

If they want to stay in power in the long-term, a betting man would suspect that it won't be with Johnson.
