Oh, coronavirus definitely. I wouldn’t whinge on about Brexit three years after the fact.

Only if the right wing of the Tory party want to destroy the economy, wipe out most small businesses, make millions unemployed, and make cancer deaths and mental illness reach new heights.

I always try to be polite with people on this site, even if they hold very different views from me, but - as we all know - some people are just out for trouble. So it goes...

I don’t think the government’s strategies are beyond reproach at all. Example: they lock us down but thousands of people are flying in every week? What’s that about? I think this lockdown could create more problems than it solves too. It’s not a cure, just a delay. I don’t think many...

Outside of personal abuse and impotent rage you don't have a lot going for yourself, either.

Reality is knowing that sometimes figures released by governments, for various reasons, aren’t always factual. For example, I imagine (or if you prefer: have a suspicion) that China, Iran, and Russia are underplaying the real death figures. I can’t prove it other than point to circumstantial...

I can’t make the figures any lower, but Spain has a lot of Care Home deaths that don't seem to be included in their figures. But when all is said and done it’s not a competition. And it’s not quite over yet (unless it turns out to be a seasonal virus).

I imagine Spain is higher than us in reality. France too.

Go on Twitter and there are plenty of Brexiteers who are on the “pull down the shutters and hide” side when it comes to Covid-19.

Of course they would. The BBC left an open goal and they’ve gone for it.

You’re missing the point. Say you were an apolitical journalist working for Panorama who discovered that there was a PPE shortage in hospitals. It’d be a valid story for the programme. If you had any nous, you’d see this could potentially be depicted in certain quarters as a “lefty Beeb...

Unfortunately even during a pandemic people are lying to push their political ideology. People trust TV journalism less than politicians, which is a weird state of affairs but one the journalists have brought onto themselves.

It was politics masquerading as journalism. By selecting those people, the BBC muddied the waters themselves. They could well have found NHS staff without political ties to interview but didn’t. There may well be truth to the story, but the BBC saw a chance to score points and instead that...

And if it’s been the other way round politically you’d have been ok with that?

Bing’s my friend.

Are they? Do you know that for a fact?

I think he meant clap for the baby.

If what Guido has written is BS then I’m sure they’ll make it known and disavow any links with the Labour Party. We shall see...

They’ll also be wondering why, after months of this, all the nice little businesses have gone bust and they can only drink in chain pubs or buy stuff from Amazon and why prices have gone up and wages have gone down.
