I sounded rather harsh there, but for sure, he has made a big mistake here and due to the lack of beds the UK will have problems. Not only that but people who require important treatments will inevitably be delayed and potentially die.

No, the same as here the decision to not immediately own the situation means that the situation is worsened and that is not acceptable. Furthermore, the notion that schools will open this week is ridiculous. Sensible teachers and parents should obviously oppose putting others at risk if the government does not have the balls to make strong decisions.

Protect yourselves and stay safe. Do what is right rather than what you are told.

It is not a good enough reason, but Johnson was not alone in making a poor decision. It will turn out that pretty much everyone except Putin and a few others made poor decisions. Russia has barely 2 dozen cases, but then if it had fizzled to nothing people would complain at how Johnson destroyed the economy. It is political whatever happens.

I called it very early and saw it coming so obviously would have set up proper testing, closed far more flights, stopped gatherings, and closed schools. I am quite hardcore that way as we know the UK does not have enough hospital beds. In saying that though, it can be controlled, but for at least a month it will be difficult.

Yes, Johnson missed the beat, but he did not release this upon the world or cover it up for a month while it ran rampant. Once this is settled it would be nice to see people not forget and to remember how this all started and that was not Downing Street.

Agreed.

A difficult hand to play. But he needs to crack down on shit now. Pubs, public transport. Crazy consequences but it has to be done.

Thousands of Athletico fans were in Liverpool Tuesday night ffs mingling in bars etc

I was watching the game thinking 'How is this going ahead like that?' Already significant numbers in the country by then. At 31 cases things were being shut down here and still schools will open today? Surely they have stopped that? I haven't done my news yet, but that is insanity.

Still true.

I noticed the Japanese politicians are all masked up too, but still the UK politicians do not wear masks. I do find it very.....strange. Why do they not take precautions? If you do not want something you can at least do your best to avoid it.

It is like having my very own librarian of the self. Of course there are a variety of selves and they evolve with different personas so it is sometimes useful. I wish she would prepare me a scone and a cup of tea sometimes though when I suggest it is unorthodox to contemplate breeding the world into a unified black super race.

What would really help right now is that £350 million a week for the NHS and 40 New hospitals. Pity that was all just another load of bullshit.

So in Boris’s first address to the nation, he’s managed to throw the whole Catering and Hospitality sector under a bus! he knows full well with his “recommendation” that he has passed on the responsibility for thousands of workers . If he carries on with this stance, the whole sector will not recover from this. Literally thousands of Pubs, Clubs, Restaurants, Hotels will shut down, and then what? Lost forever!
Can’t wait for tomorrow’s instalment. I wonder who gets it then? Transport, Construction?
The guy is a Buffoon with no balls, who does not give a flying fuck!

Boris Johnson's latest statement proves once again what a bunch of callous responsibility-abdicating bastards the Tories are.

When they instruct the British public to "avoid pubs, clubs and social venues" but refuse to issue official orders shutting the venues down, they're essentially driving these places out of business, because without official orders to shut down, bars, pubs, and nightclubs across the country will be unable to claim on their insurance.

On the other hand they're creating opportunities for unscrupulous spivs to enrich themselves.

While the majority of pubs, clubs, and bars shut down for the public good, despite no hint of an explanation of how they are to cover their costs and remain viable for enough to ever even re-open again, the lack of direct orders to shut down leaves a market opportunity for venue owners seeking to cash in by staying open for the "I don't give a fuck" brigade.

The responsible are left to fend for themselves and suffer the dire consequences, while the unscrupulous profiteers thrive.

Welcome to Tory Britain.

The guy is a dangerous wanker and always has been. With no Theatre, no live sports, no gigs, that is about 70% of my work gone. Virtually all of my mates are promoters, musicians, club owners, actors, Promoters etc who will go under while Boris and his vulture bastard mates pick up the businesses they worked hard to build and turn them into flats for chinless yuppie cunts.

I stand by this post, but few countries did any better. Even here they kept the Chinese planes flying in. It was irresponsible. It runs global and not helped at all by China covering up and denying human to human transmission while sending WMD global and then the WHO saying nonsense about masks and how borders should not be restricted.

Governments rely on experts and all too many were guided poorly. The UK was poorer than some and it might have been a better strategy had they shut the borders completely, but the advice was against. The WHO needs to go and it would be great if people went back to seeing how staying local and protecting borders is good for you. They help slow any assault on your nation, they are there to protect you.

The loss of tourists for a few months is nothing compared with keeping a general economy afloat and not collapsing a healthcare system. Nations need more self sufficiency too and this also kind of proved the failure of the EU which takes us back to the start of the thread. Nations function better when they have more autonomy.

I am quite upset about Boris actually. He is not a mean person, just a Tory and values like doing things on your own terms are decent. He is hardly Thatcher or Blair. He never denied societies existence like Thatcher or tried to destroy society like Blair. He believes in Britain and is clearly ready to die for Britain if need be. We should never call him a coward ever again.

Long live Boris Johnson. The man of the people as chosen by the people.
