People can't put their political allegiances aside mate.

Labour need to start supporting now and stop whinging. I've got nothing against an opposition party pushing the government but now its time for them all to get a grip and work through this.

Let's form a national government then, plenty of mps in labour who will have knowledge about how to implement temporary socialism which is what is going to happen

 

[Nymzee]

Not almost certainly, absolutely it has

France and Denmark did this days ago. They didn’t piss about like these cowboys.

UK had to wait for an embargo. Can only reveal new instructions once per day to keep us interested.

 

[Mrk]

It's not really about whether they're Tory or Labour, or whether it's Capitalism or Socialism - it's about doing what needs to be done to get through this. Everything else is immaterial right now.

Jesus Phil, how old are you ffs ?

Old enough mate, old enough. *

*My support for him now even though my typical political traits wouldn't sway towards him.

Possibly will be irresponsible self centred idiots flouting all sensible precautions and helping spread the virus as rapidly as possible to everyone, there always are.

Speakeasy's were the response to an irrational law against common sense. This is far from irrational.

I’m not saying it’s right I’m just telling you because there will

 

[BlueToff]

Yes, lets all give the PM praise for finally doing the right thing after weeks of idiocy. Hurrah! Now lets give him unlimited power for two years.

No not at all. But they have announced bigger measures than any other country so far.

Like you'll know, I've been banging on in here about how I think the govs should have been more prepared for this in all areas.

And I didn't say 'unlimited power'. I just want the government and oppo as a whole to work together to get the country through this.

As an aside, it really is sad that some dolts cannot put their political ideologies and biases aside at this time of national crisis. Those people need to take a long look in the mirror.

This virus may well damage our breathing, but its gonna work miracles for our waistlines.

I know you didn't say unlimited power. However unlimited power is what he is asking for.

 

[Nymzee]

Honestly C, you need a mix of both. Outright socialism doesn't work and neither does outright capitalism.

This isn't going to be sustainable at all. Like, self-employed people can't live off £95 a week can we.

And thanks for sharing that Tweet earlier btw

You can live on £95 p/w each depending on what bills get temporarily frozen. Easily.

Well Labour need a better leadership team to ensure that doesn't happen.

Haha yeh there’s that too.
