    Why would the government get sued?

    What law would they be breaking by taking a different approach to this virus?

    Sorry but we should take this over to the coronavirus thread....However here is a starter before the main course.

    UK Government Faces Lawsuit Over 'Failure' to Provide COVID-19 Support for Precarious Workers", 24 March 2020

    The Independent Workers Union of Great Britain (IWGB) has announced that it will be taking legal action against the UK government over its COVID-19 economic support measures which - they argue - "discriminate" against, and fail to provide proper support for, self-employed workers, women, minority groups, and those in the "gig economy"..

    ...Boris Johnson's government announced that it will provide £25,000 cash grants for small businesses, pay employees' wages up to 80% (up to £2,500 a month), "so someone can be furloughed rather than laid off", defer tax collections, and abolish business rates for the hospitality, retail, and leisure sectors for one year...

    ...But most of the COVID-19-related economic measures, including the wage subsidies, don't assist self-employed or precarious workers...

    can you imagine what would happen if the government was to go against WHO advice? It would make PPI look like chicken feed.

    It's called risk.

    I don't stop my family walking across the street even though there is a daily risk of them being killed by a bus.

    If you want 100% guarantee of absolutely nobody dying then you're in the wrong game bud.

    Yes, there's a risk of catching covid. Absolutely nobody is denying that. What we're saying is that the risk of death from it is too low to warrant the restrictions we are being placed under.

    If we catch it, we catch it. If a loved one dies from it, then that would be very sad but that's what life is about I'm afraid. Life is risk.

    I think there is another context at play, it’s not that it kills or seriously damages the majority, it’s the lottery whether you get it. This means that employers, schools universities, public services are all highly aware of the potential for litigation (remember PPI) should they not implement government advice. It’s catch 22 , do the government change the advice then lay themselves open to an army of litigation lawyers when a minority of people die or get seriously ill?

    Poor taste. I don’t think we should be using images of mass murderer to make a cheap point. This type of imagery, although meant to be humorous, tends to diminish the pain and distress of millions of victims of the holocaust. Think on.

    100% serious.

    Bullying people, especially children is horrific no matter the reason whether it's down to hair colour,skin colour or even what  clothes or trainers they are wearing.

    Since you are so committed to this cause, why don’t you start a thread about it and fill it with lots of videos from YouTube and bitchute. I want hold by breathe

The son and daughter of Herman Goering both had voluntary sterilisation to end the bloodline !! It might be available on the iPlayer, definitely worth watching
