Coronavirus update - NO MORE RESTRICTIONS

Re: Coronavirus update

Care to point out where I've said "all"?

No?

Funny that.

If this nurse has stolen, I presume you'll condemn them.

Whilst most of the country claps for the carers please do keep us updated on individual nurses you can find for us to condemn.

WTI Crude oil trading at $4.04, it could actually have a negative price.

It just seems a unimportant story to obsessively follow during this crisis unless you are trying to make some kind of point that applies more widely.

Do I have to publicly condemn everything that is bad now? You think you might be losing it a little?

Re: Coronavirus update

Obsessive? Just interested in the story, something different than the usual navel gazing going on.

Hey ho, remind us what can and can't be posted please.

Re: Coronavirus update

That is an interesting dichotomy, perhaps Murdoch is firing a shot across Johnson's bough with the Times with the threat of turning the Sun's readership against him if he doesn't give him what he wants.
Who knows what that would be? the evisceration of the BBC probably.

Total speculation obviously, could be that Murdoch no longer takes as close an eye on the output of his organs (fnarr fnarr) and the different editors are taking a different approach.

I’d welcome this different approach if it was impartial throughout.

It’ll be interesting to see how this goes.

It’s a bit of a deflection isn’t it?

Indeed, I demand a minute's hate alongside the clapping!

Re: Coronavirus update

Nah, wasn't. If anything I was more left wing at the time.

Dad used to be a shop steward at Merthyr's Hoover plant. When others wanted a frivalous strike, he disagreed and was then beaten up for his efforts. He quit, becoming self-employed.

At that point, I reassessed my previous views.

Hoovers during the 80s had a well known Trade Union representative who was viewed as extremely militant, left wing and troublesome to the then owners.

Re: Coronavirus update

You denounce what I say as "utter crap" and then spend seven paragraphs proving my point. interesting you said you didn't vote for Johnson as leader - around 99.8% of the UK population never got the chance to, were you one of the 0.2%?

True at the time the tories chose him


But everyone of voting age got their chance in December , Bob.

( and I am not one of the 0.2%)

Re: Coronavirus update

The ideal for just about 95% of us would be this Tory party keeping this sizeable majority, increasing it potentially, based on how well they have governed over a 5 year period, especially during this critical period of time, and how everyone has had their lives improved, with them having plans to make things even better over next 5 years. Even in a short period of time however I would suggest following statements are more likely to ring true/ominous than my opening statement:

The government has been accused of "silencing media"

The government has been accused of "[chipping] away at the country's democratic framework, reducing judicial independence, taking control of most state and private media and reshaping the electoral system to favor the government"

The government has been accused of removing independent judges, stacking the Constitutional Court and judicial institutions with loyalists, and appointing as chief prosecutor a former party member who has seldom pursued corruption charges against government politicians

The government has been accused of corruption and of fostering a "clique of loyal oligarchs"

The government has been accused of using an illusory spectre of immigration for its political gain;

But these wiki statements haven't been taken from the UK webpage...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fidesz

Still, 4.5 years is a long time to go so lets hope they turn it around and quickly too. I'd much rather admit I got it wrong politically than see poor handling of this virus a second longer.

Does this mean that I can get a barrel of oil [I]and[/]be given $28?!

Technically, yes. I'll have a million barrels please. I'll keep it in my shed until it is $60 and I'll pretend I am JR Ewing.
