Kevin, despite your geographical handicap, you seem to be an intelligent bloke. Can you, in all honesty, say that you think that he's acted in a manner that suggests he's the right man for the job? This is actually happening: NHS staff may refuse to work this weekend over lack of PPE, union wa… WWW.INDEPENDENT.CO.UK Medical staff may refuse to work this weekend if there are not enough gowns and other personal protective equipment...

So that's a no then.

Following the damning Sunday Times piece today, would anyone care to offer a defence of Boris Johnson? The incendiary Times article is behind a paywall so here is a round up of some of the key points: 1)Boris Johnson missed 5 COBRA meetings on the virus 2The Government sent PPE stock abroad 3)Training for key workers postponed for 2+ years 4)Department said lockdown needed 4 weeks before it happened 5)Pandemic plan not implemented properly Boris Johnson should resign. Please don't say that Corbyn would be worse. Starmer has been no opposition to the shitehawks in charge. Seems like he's in favour.

He's a musical 'head'.

China? Plane carrying new NHS supplies arrives from China WWW.BBC.CO.UK The cargo includes face masks, virus kits and infusion pumps for intensive care units.

This works:

Do you really believe that? That it's down to dysfunctional management primarily and not a lack of money? I'd love to spend a day in your head. DEFINE_ME WWW.THELANCET.COM

Probably, depends if they're shills or not?

The mind boggles.

Watch this @TIMON Then tell me you'd offer him a job in charge of anything " "

There's alot of it about. That's because it's based on things that have happened.

Nope: Of Course the Trump Administration Ignored a Step-by-Step Guide to Fighting a Coronavirus-Esque Pandemic | Vanity Fair WWW.VANITYFAIR.COM “It just sat as a document that people worked on that was thrown onto a shelf.”

Nowt to do with skin colour, or as the Mail might put it ' Exotic Heritage'. All to do with competency and compassion. Two traits she appears to lack. " Then there was Prit Patel’s awful attempt at the daily briefing at the weekend, where she repeatedly refused to apologise to NHS staff for lack of PPE. Patel manages to rile just about everyone by saying – ‘I’m sorry if people feel there have been failings.’ It would be an understatement to say that the mainstream media have not done their jobs properly by holding this government to account. Only this week, almost the entire corporate media has failed to report on their front pages the fact that the UK has just hit the highest daily death toll from COVID-19 in Europe. Instead, it’s a few diversionary ‘spirit of the Blitz’ stories and reporting what videos Boris Johnson is watching from his hospital bed. The British Medical Association is outraged by the government and went public last Friday: “We are hearing reports of a shocking lack of PPE supplies across trusts in England today. The Government must address dwindling PPE supplies immediately – PPE should not be being rationed due to a lack of supply. The workforce simply cannot continue facing the prospect of either being put directly in harm’s way or facing the anxiety of not knowing whether they will be adequately protected or not.” The Royal College of Surgeons of England backs this outrage up after collating the views of 1,978 surgeons and surgical trainees. “The widespread lack of PPE for frontline staff is a disgrace” "

^Shouldn't be too difficult seing as we don't have a credible government at present. Bozo - Proven liar Patel- is sorry we might think she sells things to the Israelies and can't read numbers. Raab - Doesn't know we're an island. Liz Truss - Numbers again. Cummins - Ran away. etc.

Yup, She's got a soul.

Seems Priti Patel went to the same maths class as Diane Abbot. Priti Patel: 'there have been 300,034 974,000 tests carried out' METRO.CO.UK Priti Patel had trouble with getting her words and data out at the Downing St daily press briefing.

I've heard that the fishing off Fukushima is good.

Let me know when you find that nugget.

At least it's going on our people and not on bombs. People don't seem to gripe about the amount of taxpayer money that goes into the war machine.

Nice one. Don't use level teaspoons, load it up a bit.

When I got into tree work, the place we tipped off had a few chickens. I've rarely bought supermarket eggs since.
