Counting by the Uk Government

1 pair of gloves = 2 pieces of PPE
1 recorded COVID-19 death = 2 actual COVID-19 deaths
1 actual delivered test = 2 potential tests subject to demand
1 week of UK post covid isolation = 2 weeks of WHO post Covid isolation
New 4,000 bed hospital = 40 beds actually in use
10,000 Dyson ventilators = 0 actual ventilators

As mentioned earlier latex gloves are sold in boxes of 100, thats 100 gloves, not 100 pairs.

I certainly know of your political leanings as you never miss a chance to yap on about them. As for your operation I do recall you bragging about how your accountants had managed to get you a low tax bill due no doubt to the ease of setting up ltd company type operations in the UK 

Do as I say not as I do it seems Mark. Not uncommon when it comes to the left 

Nope, I said that I pay whatever tax is owed. I pay an accountant to determine that for me.

Maybe so, but joe public, would consider gloves to consist of 'a pair'. It's misdirection at best.
What about the other numbers

I know a wide variety of people from many different walks of life, I know none that would kick a £1k a day into touch. Maybe we're diffent coming from the Midlands and living in Suffolk.

I wish I never mentioned it.  

 

I was away for 6 weeks, thats long enough when my wife is desperate for me to come home. I should clarify that the day rate is only when Im off-shore and in my off-period. I would have to wait to 'reset' my time from the last trip which is 7 days where Id only get £100 bonus and as soon as I got off-shore Id be on the higher amount. The last two weeks of my last trip was in my off-period so thats me ok for a while. Right now Im happy to be home with my family.
