In Scotland especially there is an element of ideology involved, and Sturgeon would face a lot of domestic criticism for a perception of 'blindly' following 'England'. I certainly picked up that vibe from the Scottish press conference zoom press pack.

The speech was leaked to the media, the message is at best unclear, they disagree with it and it involves apparently telling people that they might have to go to work on Monday at 7pm Sunday. Of course they had to respond and waiting until afterwards was too late.
If he wanted them to wait he shouldn't have leaked it to the media. |

By:
It will have been provided to the media, embargoed. Not leaked

The Welsh fella,Nicola and Arlene doing their own thing Cider, keeping the old red signs with "stay at home" on them.
|

By:
His communication is abysmal. Leaking to the press and then not making it clear who he was addressing. No wonder they came out and made clear statements. They must think he's a complete cretin.

I'll give you a small tip, lurka. You don't need to do anything different if you don't want to.

We'll only find out how good their messaging is once they have to move away from stay at home.

They(England) are guessing at an "R" of between 0.5 and 0.9, Germany had an R rate of 0.7 when it came out of lockdown and on even Weds was just 0.65, the last 2 days after easing measures the R has for the last 2 days gone to 1.1,on the verge and worrying now of a 2nd wave.
How good do you think their messaging will be? Have a guess? |
|
By:
We are going to have a situation where folks are spreading the virus willy nilly in England with Scotland and Wales desperately trying to stop them coming over the border.

Leaking to the press
Begs the question when was this recorded and when was the last edit to remove stuff. Those politics Joe things are better edited |
|
By:

|
|
By:
|
|
By:
no i think its future stuff.they got reprimanded by the speaker for putting this out tonight before putting it to parliament i think. he let them away this time.
|
|
By:
Absolutely no Clarity and Banging on about the Police Giving Bigger Fines
FOR WHAT ?? Lockdown now a complete waste of Time ,millions will be back out on the Streets Monday As stated by PA steep rise in the "R" in Germany They stated OOP North was 3 weeks behind the South the other day , so are all these people supposed to now carry on regardless .......... |
|
By:
Johnson told us that he has a clear plan for COVID.
Just like he told us that he had a clear plan for social care. |
|
By:
But What I cannot understand is the Other 3 nations had no intention of Following this Advice
So why has this "STAY ALERT SHYTE " even gone ahead ?? He knew the intention of the other 3 nations ........ |
|
By:
As always, the devil is in the detail.
50 page technical document to be published tomorrow. |
|
By:
Too late ANG , the Masses will be back out tomorrow ,The consequences of that speech may well become historic, Could not believe what I was listening to, as Starmer sad it appeared everyone was to head off to work in the Morning ....Starmer actually looked Shell shocked
 |
|
By:
Yes. The same stupid mixed message as when he told the nation he was shaking hands with people in hospitals. The masses are of average intelligence, by definition. They'll think there's nothing to worry about again. Complete pillock who has learned nothing from contracting the virus through being an idiot.

Got to save the economy before it is too late.....back to work !

By:
I agree Leopard
We cannot stay in permanent lockdown |
|
By:
Obviously the strategy is to negate the risk of big movement within the UK and Northern Ireland , ffs its not rocket science, same as the football, they don't want to risk celebrations if the football is called, people coming onto the streets ect, drinking and spreading. Its all part of the plan, same as announcing there would be an announcement, market sensitive info and was done prior to market closure on Thursday, they announced on Wed I think it was. Its all going OK.
As for the "r" figure, walofs, its just a guess without testing everyone regular,yea more cases will turn up at hospitals or via doctors but longer you lock down longer normal immunity to coughs and colds will decrease. Soon be peak hay fever season too. Fact weather will be a bit more inclement over coming week a good thing. All good so far and of course there will be more cases as lock down comes off, but people know what the symptoms are and hopefully isolate ASAP. Over the next year or so it will prob turn out we done OK. Leftists trying to kick the country when it's down as per usual and hopefully folks remember them for it.Down nothing for the country, never have and never will. |

Never Mind Lockdown ,Take London how are people mean't to Commute in to work from the suburbs or surrounding counties ,You cannot get on to the trains at the best of Times ,What are they meant to a 3 hour cycle Or run 2 marathons to get in , Perhaps he is suggesting a Car share scheme
As for anyone driving there is no where to park if there is you Have done your brains on congestion and parking charges...............there is one word covers the advice given on there tonight MADNESS ..... |
|
By:
Bread I have supported Boris , I cannot believe that statement tonight , I am certainly not a leftist . I stand by the heading I started the thread with ... MADNESS covers it , and it has
now turned into a Gung Ho approach as they think the NHS can cope , Lets hope they are right For all concerned .......................  |

Wait til all the book worms come back from Ramadamadingdong
The country will be dripping with Chinese flu |
|
By:
I think case has went stir crazy.
Anything but a gung ho approach btw. Tis a staggered get back to work if safe to do so. Plus allowing people more freedom on exercising and etc And asking that they stay alert to problems by social distancing. What is the alternative? Permanent lockdown? Asking people to be sensible aint asking too much. |

I dunno, there are a plethora of bellends in all societies |

Ever wondered why Japan, South Korea have low numbers??
They have few muslims or blacks UK & USA has plenty and the correlation is obvious to see 4 times more likely to get infected |

He actively encouraged people to go out, he emphasized "unlimited" exercise, he said go to the parks, people may well leave their houses with good intentions on social distancing but with 1,000's now released to go wherever they please the result will be no social distancing at all as places where people gather will be packed.
Also, the first children being released back to school are those in reception classes, 4 and 5 year old children!!! social distancing? really? He even re-iterates that we still haven't met all 5 points to release lock down, but does so anyway  You'd be forgiven for thinking that his intention was to raise the infection level not decrease it. |
