Gosh that is very low , I need a pint
With warped celebratory sentiments like that it sounds like you've already had one.Originally Posted by life on mars
Oh yes or two lol
On a day when a poll puts Boris Johnson on a positive personal rating for the first time since May, you show exactly the sort of thinking which leads to a situation like that - fifty two families and hundreds, if not thousands, of friends are in mourning today, but you go ahead and have your pint to celebrate.
Isn't it incredible that after all the bungs to mates, lies, corruption, law breaks and deaths the Tories gain further in popularity.
Truly incredible.
Does it....
a) show how stupid us Brits all are or
b) show us there is no real opposition or
c) no one gives one as nothing really ever changes anyway, robbing peter to pay paul as the old saying goes.....
Category A, I make no comment on, category B is always trotted out and makes no sense - there's always an opposition. and so many of those who fall into category C always vote always seem to vote for the same party.
the opposition aren't going on the offensive at all at the moment.
I can only hope that it is on purpose, and they are keeping their powder dry until after the pandemic to try to land some hits, rather than what I fear in that they are just ineffectual
I'm not so sure about that, I see Starmer asking questions Boris cant/wont answer and generally making him look like a fool every week at PMQ's. The media are down playing Labour's response, what more can they do as the opposition?
The deaths were in there thousands , feel its improving , its not a celebration its a recognition of improvement , people though history have raised a glass at funerals or awful events in memory or a passing , without being criticised .
And yes I will rise a glass to everyone when its over as will millions of others its a natural human trait .
I didn't see anything wrong with your OP. There is positivity in infections and deaths decreasing.
It's likely that England win the Euros this/last year (6/7 games at home, better talent than before with players who actually like each other - only a dodgy manager and being overplayed this year can stop them) so what's already being described as "a summer of fun" will only become even more extreme. It would be wrong for people in the UK to think covid is over (many poorer countries will need us to step up our efforts to support them, outcome and implications of behaviour during covid shouldn't be forgotten, could see a much worse flu season or new variant which knocks us back a few steps) despite what will be high levels of relief and some happiness.
Thanks , sometimes its good to be positive . I know a few lads who have lost folk to Covid , they too are pushing this positive news which is a wonderful thing to hear , they too are wishing for a pint to toast there memory
Looking forward to yet another golden generation of English players getting built up only to go out in the groups.
I will raise a pint to that.
Ourf figures still don't look great compared to many other countries and it's a measure of how badly we've done that fifty two deaths is seen as a reason for celebration.

Also, I'll raise a glass to everyone when it's over, but that's not what you said in your first post is it.
Apologies I thought it was , I've posted again below for clarity ,sorry for using your term i'll raise glass
" Gosh that is very low , I need a pint"
This board can be prickly at times.
Sorry for my positiveness
A couple of days ago you responded to the news that golf courses in Wales were opening in the following positive manner:
Got a fairways to go though as there is still the 5 mile rule so only for the rich ones who have a links at the bottom of the garden ,thanks Mark for looking after the normal people.
Little wonder people question the sincerity of your explanations when you seen unable to maintain a consistent thought pattern over a few days.
What complete claptrap. We've had 1900 deaths a day. Yesterday was 52. The cause for celebration was the 98% reduction, not the 52 that died. You even manage to bring in your daily obsession with anti -government politics.
From memory, you’re a category C aren’t you - they’re all as bad as each other and it’s just a coincidence I always come down on the same side of the fence in my opinions.
There were no deaths in Northern Ireland on Sunday and none in Wales about ten days ago, they are occasions for celebration- 52 still seems way too high to start doing that for me.
I honestly don't know what category C refers to, but there comes a point when you feel that there truly is a point in time to feel celebratory. Covid deaths on a daily basis could go on for years. At what point do we 'celebrate ?
For a man who massively underplayed Covid at the start, railed against every restriction that has been imposed to stop its spread and has gone on record to say that lockdowns don't work you deserve some credit for the chutzpah in this argument.
I guess it must be a coincidence that deaths and cases fall when we enter a lockdown and rise when it's over.
Well thank you.
I was reading an article recently of how comparing countries isn’t probably the best way to measure success.
I’d always be the first to criticise this government and there is no argument from me that we’ve handled this poorly.
But we do have an over weight population who are very susceptible to the virus. We also have a very old population thanks to the nhs and we are also a very densely populated country.
So whilst we have handled it poorly especially on the lead up to Christmas comparing our deaths to other countries maybe is the best metric to judge.
Also there I think there is a floor for number fo deaths from this especially due to the seasonal effect so I’m not sure how likely we ever are to see single figures again.
