Indeed Cider,easier from a keyboard to call someone a k hunt because he asked about 10k unexplained deaths.


It isn't a concept of reality at all to ask HOW.

So you never read it ?

You have no understanding of influenza . You have no understanding of coronaviruses . You don't even know  the real number of care homes in the UK .

All you know is what you are told . If the government told everyone to eat pickled  rat turd in aspic you'd tell everyone it was a great idea . Try

doing a little research to back up your insolent ramblings .

Care homes are not well run


Most private homes are charging residents in excess of a £1000 a week.

Then they complain the Goverment hasn’t provided them with PPE ....ludicrous

One source I've read details 21681 and over 15500 in England. And 465,000 people work in care and nursing homes.

I took the figure from Chris Whitty, he must have said 20000 I missed a digit off upthread. It doesn't change any of my points, just makes the concept of testing them all, all at the same time back in March even more ludicrous.

Do you challenge any of the Boris Derangement Syndrome threads and comments as 'insolent'? Or it's acceptable as long as it's on your side of the argument?

Very funny!

In defence of some of ciders pathetic defence attempts the increased deaths in care homes did not come just from Hospitals sending old people with covid to Care Homes to keep them off the register but also because there are plenty of agency care workers transporting the disease from care Home to Care Home.

I would like to ask cider though what The Leader of Her Majesty's Most Loyal Opposition is supposed to to do?

I’d like to see Starmer come up with a workable solution to the public transport system....he can work with his union friends and find a workable solution.

The Unions are inevitably going to make using transport more difficult until all there employees have full PPE, gold plated armour

Why would you want Starmer to have any charisma?

The Buffoon in Chief has plenty of charisma even I as a detractor would acknowledge that. Do you want your bank manager to have charisma? Or your accountant or importantly your Doctor! Would you like your Chief Scientific Officer to have plenty of charisma and pull a married bird?

Or maybe do you think it might be good if he just did a good job of exposing the Governments short comings?

Totally agree,a child could make a better job than what is currently in practice.

Doris's solution seems to be as pre lockdown, pack them in again to buses,trains and tubes,nothing has changed,many no masks, social distancing not applied,stay alert me hole.

^ What a load of old guff


Adress the questions on the thread.

1/ Why won't Boris Johnson account for 10k unexplained deaths?

2/ Why has the death graph comparison among countries suddenly disappeared?

3 Baboons point, Why is the public transport system such a mess with little or no adherence to goverment coronavirus measures?

1. Explain unexplained deaths. Boris is good but he's not that good Cry
2. As it is no longer useful, or relevant as deaths in all countries are plateauing as I already explained. They did not stop using the graph as soon as declared deaths were highest in the UK within europe. It was a few days later, coinciding with the change in messaging and direction.
3. Who is in charge of transport systems? Clue 1, it's not the government.

Keir Starmer
I want to probe a little further the figures that the Prime Minister has given us. The Office for National Statistics records the average number of deaths in care homes each month. For the past five years, the average for April has been just over 8,000. This year, the number of deaths in care homes in April ​was a staggering 26,000. That is three times the average and an additional 18,000 deaths. Using the Government’s figures, only 8,000 are recorded as covid deaths, leaving 10,000 additional and unexplained care home deaths this April. I know that the Government must have looked into that, so can the Prime Minister give us the Government’s view on those unexplained deaths?

The Prime Minister
The coronavirus is an appalling disease which afflicts some groups far more than others—I think the whole country understands that—in particular the elderly, and the right hon. and learned Gentleman is right to draw attention, as I have said, to the tragedy that has been taking place in care homes. The ONS is responsible for producing its data, and the Government have also produced data which shows not only that there has been, as I say, a terrible epidemic in care homes, but that since the care homes action plan began we are seeing an appreciable and substantial reduction not just in the number of outbreaks, but in the number of deaths. I stress to the House and to the country that solving the problem in care homes is going to be absolutely critical—getting the R down not just in care homes, but across the country—to our ability to move forward as a nation with the stepped programme that I announced on Sunday. We must fix it, and we will.

It appears that government doesn't have the view that was the thrust of the question.

Nor, does it appear, that the government is actively studying the data in order to arrive at a view.
If it was, surely the PM would have taken the opportunity to inform the nation of the ongoing inquiry in to the unexplained excess deaths.

Or is it that the PM hadn't done his homework, and is simply unaware of the work that is going on to better understand the underlying causes ?

Here's one example for you.

Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) is the local government body responsible for delivering Greater Manchester’s transport strategy and commitments.

What we do
We deliver the transport policies set by the Greater Manchester Mayor and the Greater Manchester Combined Authority.

We’re responsible for investing your money in improving transport services and facilities, to support the regional economy.

1/ Boris is bad but he is actually worse
2/ The graph is very useful until it shows how progressively worse the UK is doing.

Starmer would have hosed up in an election 10 years ago but politics has changed and it is difficult to see someone who is smart and competent but dull winning over enough people the way it is these days - not to say the other 2 candidates would have done better in this regard but it's easier to see rallying behind a left populism. He is as all the mainstream commentators love to say, forensic in his questioning Cool. but most people who watch PMQs and parliamentary discussions are heavily likely to already be pretty partisan so can't imagine it changing much.

The right gets a lot better that personality politics is the game in town right now and yet the centre(-left) in particular are still playing by the rules from before.

More likely to see this kind of thing happen with Biden who might win by default despite being an utterly shambolic candidate but perhaps Starmer can be the beneficiary of people being sick of the circus when they see the results, where as they don't mind it as long as the economy is good often.

Very useful for the snipers you mean, the ones who have a macabre excitement because the declared death toll passes another country.

Transport has been running throughout the crisis, same as supermarkets. Social distancing is not exactly a complex concept and the supermarkets didn't seem to need their hands holding.

It's in the link, I'm assuming you opened it yourself, but here it is anyway.
We work with our agencies and partners to support the transport network that helps the UK’s businesses and gets people and goods travelling around the country. We plan and invest in transport infrastructure to keep the UK on the move.

No Cider 10.23, no sniping or macabre excitment,that in itself is quite a nasty deflection tactic.

All goes back to your opening post when you called the opposition leader a k hunt for asking questions in parliament to a goverment that has made a complete and utter balls of the pandemic, and what is worse you well know that they made a shambles,you are pitiful in your defense of what the tory goverment is in the process of doing to the UK and worse for colluding with it.
