A Senior DUP politician going to the media to state that Covid transmission is higher in Catholic council areas of NI has me head in hands.

How are we ever supposed to work together if we can’t even do it when facing a life changing pandemic.

Been an absolutely shambolic day all round for our useless assembly.

The department for communities then trying to ban small distanced crowds from the irish league 45 minutes before the first match. There were already people in the ground!

It was genuinely better when we had no government.

I'm just totally disillusioned right now. I look at our government in Westminster, I look at my government in Belfast, and I properly despair.

Very interesting video. Would a different US team have handled Coronavirus better?

Ask the mortgage companies and the vast array of other services that need to be paid to hold off with demands of payment without further profiteering, then yeh financial issues later?

I blame the planners.....

I’m a planner; I’ll fix this.

 

[peteblue]

And yet, and consider this objectively, despite not knowing the answer, you've been certain enough to blame:
China
The WHO
Local planners
SAGE
Students
Neil Ferguson
Civil servants
Starmer
Burnham
Devolved Governments

So that's plenty of blame to go around..

None for those who actually have responsibility for the UK response to this. Not a jot.

And each and every one of those listed has contributed to a greater or lesser degree to this shambles.....

I agree. Yet you've specifically highlighted them and been very vocal in your criticism of them. Not so much other, who have much greater influence over the UK response. I'll let you reflect on that.

Ask the people who are sick mate! Got to parents in hospital who I can't see but ye finances first eh.

Well yeah Reg, I mean you forgot that Barnier bloke. What's he ever done for us?

I'm not sure we've got to the 'the UK response is the fault of Brussels: here's how' stage yet. There's time.
