God bless him! He's a hero and saved many lives IMHO

Thank goodness no one listened to the conspiracy theorists. Sunak just lost even the most miniscule degree of credibility he might have once possessed. Grandstanding in desperation to an odd minority suddenly with power conferred upon them.

He did. I knew that. He also asked it to be moved. If these threads show up in what I think is the football section, then, they're fair game for my snark. I hardly ever start threads and if I do, they're generally about football or they'll be asking for help advice (which this board is really good at delivering because there are some really good people around even if they're quiet most of the time - my fear, is they'll stop reading).
Some threads are started and people know full well it'll end up about politics. I'm now giving the politics board a swerve because it's f*cking crazy over there. There are still good posters but f*ck me there's stuff over there that's scary. We have threads f*cked up on a regular basis when they're about football but even those can get hijacked by basement trolls pretty quickly.
I'm just saying what a lot of people are thinking. If we don't fight this stuff, then there will just be :tumbleweed:

Why don’t you allow people with a different opinion to you have their say , ultimately the thread was in reply to a statement made by a person who could be the next prime minister
Clearly as much as you buy into the lockdowns and overreach there are plenty of posters who don’t ,if you don’t agree , don’t cry about it

Re: Rishi Sunak on Covid lockdowns
I'm not stopping anyone have their say. Certainly not crying about it. Isn't it funny how often the people who champion their right to 'having a different opinion' generally do so in response to someone with a different opinion?

Huh ? You tried to belittle my response by coming out with the lazy conspiracy theory dig which clearly isn’t the case when Sunak is making commentary of this nature

It's down to the Max Factor, maybe it needs a make over.

I would say those who stayed at home on 80% or whatever it was loved it especially when it started as the weather was so nice.
i still deal with lots of clients who have never gone back to the office but suspect as the winter draws in they will be clamouring to get back in the office for the ability to turn the fire on without having to worrying about the bill.

Re: Rishi Sunak on Covid lockdowns
Little by little the truth of lockdown is being admitted: it was a disaster
Public fear was deliberately stoked to justify decisions made on the hoof and based on questionable advice
Lockdown was an extreme and unprecedented response to an ancient problem, the challenge of epidemic disease. It was also something else. It marked one of the gravest governmental failures of modern times. In a remarkably candid interview with The Spectator, Rishi Sunak has blown the gaff on the sheer superficiality of the decision-making process of which he was himself part. The fundamental rule of good government is not to make radical decisions without understanding the likely consequences. It seems obvious. Yet it is at that most basic level that the Johnson government failed. The tragedy is that this is only now being acknowledged.

Re: Rishi Sunak on Covid lockdowns
I got back from Germany last Friday and it's still obligatory out there to wear a mask on planes, buses and on the trains - and not just the common or garden masks that were considered acceptable over here at the height of the pandemic. In fact, I had to ugrade my mask over there to a medical grade masks after a bus driver would not let me on the bus wearing the former - and there is talk of tightening up the regs even futher.
I think we sometimes need to take a step back and consider what is also happening on the other side of what the French and the Germans describe as 'The Sleeve'.

Chancellor Scholz is big on the authoritarian WEF agenda, so your news does not surprise me.

Drakeford simply played a childish political game , just remember he was the health minister a few years back that cut the health budget , Welsh Health is poor and its on his watch , we could have been better ,we could have been different in our approach but no ,let's all blame the Tories is an easier narrative to follow and the sheep nod and vote and vote and vote and and ..
The Tories didn't or ever will have a chance so you and I and others will never know anything different other than a Labour run country ..
Thank god the evil Tory government still support huge national organisations to be sited in Wales below is the list :
DVLA.
ONS.
Patent Office .
Companies House .
HMPS.
Taxes.
Passports
Welsh Goverment Buildings
228 Welsh Organisations
All decent pay with decent pensions ..
Just imagine if the evil ones closed or moved them up North ...
All WAG does is build more and more layers with tax payers money, imagine swapping the whole cost of it out and into health , education, policing , social housing , highways..

Latest Cases per Million though:
Germany 389 per million (29th Aug 2022)
UK 68 per million (25th Aug 2022)
https://ourworldindata.org/explorers...AN~DEU~ITA~IND
Both have seen significant reductions over the last month.
I don't know what the reasoning for this is. Different levels of reporting perhaps, but it doesn't seem that mandating masks in certain incidences have led to lower cases there. Needless to say, the argument is that their levels would be higher still without them, but the point still stands.

Re: Rishi Sunak on Covid lockdowns
Covid infections and severe illnesses were declining before the first lockdown, something that was pointed out in the huge Covid thread on this board and ridiculed - Sunak would have known this as well
