There is no way anyone's views on practically every topic that comes up just so happens to be the most controversial one. He purposely does it to get a reaction, well done to him because he often does (self admitted also) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bud the Baker Posted November 3, 2020 Report Share Posted November 3, 2020 (edited) You gotta hand it to Nigel. he sure knows his audience... Quote Reform UK: Brexit party to rebrand as anti-lockdown voice The Brexit party has applied to the Electoral Commission to change its name to Reform UK in a bid to rebrand the party, which has no elected representatives, as a voice in the anti-lockdown movement. The party’s leader, Nigel Farage, and chairman, Richard Tice, announced the plan in a joint article in the Telegraph where they wrote it was “time to redirect our energies”.

The report uses the Bazil approach, quoting as big a number as they can for dramatic effect (Typical BBC approach since this started) but when you look at the details it's not as frightening as the headline makes out. They do stress they are pinning hopes on the willingness of the public to get it back under control.

I am not saying it will be "as big a number" as has been reported, you have said yourself worst case is quoting around 4,000. My estimate is nowhere near there. Another clear lie.

insaintee Posted November 3, 2020 Report Share Posted November 3, 2020 21 hours ago, Russian Saint said: Not 100% sure if you’re referring to the suicide rate per year and the fact that they come in June. So if the suicide rate is measured from January to December, I’d have thought they’d have a running tally. So I don’t understand why the figures are not published until 6 months later. For sudden deaths (including suicides) the Post Mortem is usually conducted within a couple of days (pre Covid) I'm talking about provisional data. Sudden deaths are not deaths by misadventure, these can take months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazil85 Posted November 3, 2020 Report Share Posted November 3, 2020 There is apparently some confusion regarding the death toll today with contrasting reports in various news outlets and as yet no official note (from what I can tell). The most recent death figures from several sources is 397, yet another record high for the second half of the year. Of course many of us are of the view that we'll need to wait to see what happens while accepting the concerning figures. One thing is for sure, it would be quite silly to point blank deny significantly higher numbers in deaths by the end of the year as a possibility.

I did wonder why he hadn't posted earlier, too busy crying that things were going well. What a dreadful outlook, happy when things are going in the wrong direction. NEVER posts a positive outlook.

Still not true. No doubt this will be your deflection tactics if wrong on the subject instead of just being a bigger person & accepting it. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
