It’s not just your comments on the NHS. It’s your general attitude towards most posters who you believe are intellectually inferior to you. 
 

Anyway more importantly please answer my request please? Do I need to buy more bog rolls? What else do we need to stockpile? But please no graphs we know you struggle with those.
 

Also like FS very keen to know exactly what business you do? You might get some new customers. Here to help.

Ah right now I understand.

You are another one of those tedious posters who can dish it out but can't take it.

Away and grow up FFS.

Aye but you’ve probably had your hips and knees replaced by now given your age.

Bionic Bluto!

How are you and the wife finding the viagra I sent you?

Hips and knees all in great nick.  I can still “run”...

I’ve never had a wife (well... not of my own...) but, after 48 years, we did at last get a CP - soon as it became legal ( for tax reasons mostly).

We’ve never needed viagra - we only ever have sex for tax reasons...

Huh!

I hardly creak at all when I’m at it, these days.  :)

 

It's not the creaking I'm thinking about. It's the rythmnic battery of loose, wrinkly skin flaps slapping against each other.

I'd rather have a nice cup of tea and a good night's sleep at my age. 😀

Yes, that naturally  follows on after...

We can’t be trusted by those in power. It’s a joke that indoor venues like the Albert Hall can reopen with reduced audience but football in large open air venues can’t.

let’s riot!

It's been on a downward spiral for months now, more and more mixed messages, no consistency and certain sectors getting hammered unnecessarily. 

Where's the strong evidence that attending outside events is a serious issue and, if it is, why are other countries getting on with it? 

I have had a lot of time for Leitch on the Scottish side but to even suggest Christmas could be "digital" is another fcuk up we could do without.

Jason is getting too big for his boots.

It's not going to be his call regarding whether Christmas is cancelled or not, that's Nicola's job, but bizarrely he seems to think it is.

The power is going to his head and he needs his neck firmly yanked back into place.

Just read that story, and the amount of snippets taken out of context was embarrassing. Even I never wrote anything as biased as that, and my remit was to inject humour in my report.

As for Christmas, I thought you and your family had cancelled that years ago.

This is what he said, when a large amount of the public are already losing faith this was an unnecessary error.

No matter how realistic it MIGHT be, saying this at this stage is just utterly stupid.

He initially said it was "honestly too early to say" what would happen at Christmas, but sounded a note of caution over the prospect of measures being eased significantly over the winter.

He said: "I'm hopeful costs now may get us a more family Christmas. But Christmas is not going to be normal, there's absolutely no question about that.

"We are not going to be in large family groupings, with multiple families coming round - that is fiction for this year.

"I'm hopeful that if we can get numbers down to a certain level we may be able to get some form of normality. But people should get their digital Christmas ready."

It looks like a clearly orchestrated strategy to me. He's been told to drop that little bomb yesterday in the sure knowledge the press would pick up on it instantly. It worked as 1st question yesterday to NS gave her the perfect platform to emphasise the real narrative ie "it's a real possibility BUT to reduce that possibility as much as possible we all must follow the new guidelines".
The fact he said 24hrs before that early indication was measures were starting to slow infections merely confirmed this was a planned, strategic "slip" intended to let NS emphasise the core message.
They know full well Christmas household restrictions won't be followed hence the big push now to "save Christmas".
I'm astonished the press in general (to be fair the BBC lunchtime news ran with the "saving Christmas" line rather than the "cancelled or digital" line) are so gullible but the daily questions show just how insipid and inept they are and thus so easy to be used in this manner.

Absolutely. The key phrase being the bit in bold.

Orchestrated or not, that flippant line about "digital Christmas" would have quite understandably infuriated people everywhere.

I'm quite surprised the papers didn't go for a full attack on the use of that phrase too.

You must be dizzy trying to spin this as much as that. 😂😂😂
