  1. Scare, scare, scare... get out and live your lives.

  2. Even Sky are saying how misleading all the figures are. And a liar because the data wasn't from "today"....
    77
  3. About time all pubs and clubs started just staying open regardless.

  4. "Failed presidency"? He must be counting number of bombs dropped... Obama won that one for sure.
    38
  5. "You're in breach of Covid" sounds like a real law!!
    36
  6. The pandemic, like racism, will end when you stop talking about it.
    31
  7. Stop trying to make a problem. It's irresponsible journalism like this that creates problems and panic buying be it due to Brexit or Covid.

  8.  @GordyB666  I agree with Lee Sauce. This has set back race relations for years and years. BLM have done more harm that KKK for race relations.

  9. They need to do this next weekend too. The lockdown is a nonsense just delaying the inevitable. Ruining our children's future. Kids stand up for your rights now or it will be too late.

  10. More infectious does not mean more dangerous. It just means we reach herd immunity quicker.
    13
  11. This is due to building on flood plains often miles from the actual flooding. Water up or down stream has nowhere to go so it bursts banks. Mixture of poor management and corrupt planners.
    12
  12. Once the first four groups have been done Boris there is absolutely no reason to keep any lockdown measures in place. You need to open up everything and remove the mask mandate. The risks are so so low for anyone else that it's criminal to consider keeping us hostage any longer. Mid February you said. 1. Residents in care homes for older adults and their carers 2. 80-year-olds and over and frontline health and social care workers 3. 75-year-olds and over 4. 70-year-olds and over and clinically extremely vulnerable individuals
    12
  13. Was my favourite place. No more... really is 1984 now.
    12
  14. Not everyone against the lockdown, or even this particular rushed vaccine, is an "anti vaxxer" - most are just ordinary folk that think the nanny state has gone too far.
    11
  15. They are so far in that they can't admit lockdown, masks, social distancing are all wrong. Mortality shows Covid, at worst, about 1.4 times more dangerous than flu in an average year and so far less deaths than in 2001 flu epidemic. Already it's migrated to mink and most likely other animals and back to humans so a vaccine will never work. In the meantime millions to Serco and public relation firms not to mention billions for furlough. In short, the governments around the world have f**ked up big time. People need to ignore this lockdown, take of your masks and carry on as normal. We do not consent.

  16. "Chaos"? LOL I thought such all 'journalists' had a basic understanding of the English language and it's usage.
    11
  17. The only thing Boris has going for him is Sturgeon and Starmer... they are both incompetent, bitter fools.

  18. This is still only guidance.. no statutory law has been passed. Link is here: "www.gov.uk/guidance/tier-4-stay-at-home"

  19. Can I suggest the roadmap... "Ah we've taken a wrong turn... go back to February and carry on as normal"
    8
  20. Spot on!

  21. As the MPs have been so fantastic I really think they should have their jabs first... then the very very important MSM. In fact, I'll forgo mine if that helps.

  22.  Acid Trip  lol yep cos personal attacks really mean you have something to contribute.

  23. Were to put the all the money is probably the biggest challenge!

  24. I think most of them voted for him.... his ancestors too.

  25.  @boop9239  that's fine mate you take it if you want no one is stopping you. I'm not anti-vax but aged 57 and fit I prefer not to put anything into my body that isn't needed. Never take tablets. My immune system is fine...pretty sure I caught in back in January etc as felt rough for a few days after skiing in Italy. To use your analogy...my house is wired so I really don't need it all pulled out and re-wired just because a house in the next village has a problem with a plug in the kitchen.

  26. Not a journalist she is one of WEF young global leaders oh and appearing a Joe Biden promotional video.... the plot thickens.

  27. Anyone under about 25 hasn't known a world without Facebook.... trust me it was much better. Less polarised, far more tolerant, people spoke to each other and actually did stuff without recording every bloody second.

  28.  @Mrcookieproduction  no one knows medium or long term effects that is why most vaccines take 7-10 years to market... it's not the development time it's the testing. If you are over 80 and it gives you some short term protection then great take it, but for anyone else when your immune system give 99%+ protection it's simply not necessary.
    4
  29. We decide who to see. There are many people over 80 who don't want to spend their last few years and especially Christmas' alone. This is not the decision of any government.
    4
  30. It's the company that should be held to account. A refund and apology is not enough - they knew exactly what they were doing. Cancel the contract and consider legal action. Just think how many other corrupt companies (and it happened under Labour too) get away with this.

  31.  @hayley2984  just wait... I hope not but fear they will. :(

  32. It doesn't matter if infections rise - something can be very easily transmitted (infectious) but be harmless to most. The media continue to paint "infection" as meaning "death" and for almost everyone in the world it isn't. For most of us it is either asymptomatic or similar to a cold.
    3
  33. That is exactly what the government are doing with this lockdown... the deaths and social decline caused by the lockdown will far outweigh any damage Covid can do.
    3
  34. Special Branch. 1. For some older people they may only have a few left and surely it should be their decision if they are happy with the risk. 2. For most people with less than 0.05% chance of even getting seriously ill why should government tell us what to do 3. You cannot control a virus with lockdowns and restrictions... if we hadn't of had a lockdown in March this would most likely all be over by now. 4. The NHS should be there to protect us not the other way around. Occupancy is below normal winter levels 5. It's not just for Xmas 6. Those who want to isolate can.
    3
  35. To be fair China are leaving door open for legal and procedural challenges. Amazingly they are able to pick middle road better than most media channels or other world leaders.

  36. What a knob!

  37.  @nikkihinton3398  Nikki that is what he's saying he points out 2020 is only to October. I agree 60k is not insignificant, especially if you've lost a loved one, but it is still only about 13%, less if you factor in population growth. Certainly not pandemic levels and also worth pointing out that 2019 was lower (by number and percentage of population) than the previous 5 years so there was a bit of natural balance due in 2020 even before Covid. The other thing to consider is some of the 'excess' deaths weren't Covid but were as a result of the lockdown.

  38.  @oliverranderson9292  they do both... loads of channels cancelled.
    2
  39. No risk to them youngsters. And it's responsibility of the elderly and vulnerable to isolate until they get vaccine. This lockdown is causing so much harm to the younger generations.... no jobs, babies can't see adults faces, school kids terrified probably for life, suicides. It's the older generation (which I'm in) who should be ashamed.
    2
  40. Where do they show them testing and torturing animals... all for the rush to profit! Millions of animals have been killed just for this one drug. 100 million plus animals a year used in testing. And we are supposed to be the superior beings!. It's sickening and morally indefensible.

  41. I thought they were the same bloke....

  42. Maggie would have known what to do.

  43. Think you'll have some change... I'm looking for 40 foot yacht if you can help. Cheers! :)

  44.  @henrybatten3315  "To be honest her response was more likely to be stunned silence at your stupidity than anything to do with tracking devices." LOL that made me howl!

  45. ULOIRAR a big percentage of what they breath in from wearing masks is CO2 hence already hospitalisations from mask wearing. Personally I suspect many of the long Covid sufferers are from prolonged mask wearing.

  46.  @iDarby  I didn't mention anything about that? I have said to my 85+ parents to take it if they want... the main concern for most will be the fact that there hasn't been any long term tests - that in fact is why most medicines take 7-10 years to come to market. But at 85 years old and over long term effects aren't really an issue! But for most under 60s who are healthy the truth is your immune system will cope just fine and given that the Pfizer boss himself said they don't know if the vaccine prevents spread (they didn't even test that) then there is no reason to take it.

  47.  @garryyoung8945  Welcome mate

  48.  @mcfrosty8739  spot on mate.

  49.  @DMC888  not supported by the numbers. I agree it's more probably more infectious but the hospitals in UK work on over 85% in ICU at all times. Our local hospital in Bedford had 8 of 11 beds occupied in January pre-covid. So the 'huge influx' is actually only a handful of people at each hospital. They manage it just fine every other year. The issue is a third of NHS staff self isolating and so not available for work... needlessly self isolating... thus other wards are now empty because they can't staff them. Deaths for NHS staff was actually under the national average so this is all self inflicted.

  50. I've had various people tell me the papers, BBC, Sky etc aren't biased and that I'm some mad right conspiracy theorist. But I just point them to headlines like this. Honestly this is so blatant in misrepresenting the truth I'm surprised youTube haven't flagged it. I've cancelled our newspaper subscription and suggest others do that same - hit them in the pocket.

  51. They didn't even test transmission for the Pfizer vaccine. The head of Pfizer said as much. Search Google for "Albert Bourla vaccine transmission not tested"

  52. Boris you've all made a mistake - as have politicians the world over led by scientists scared to get it wrong so they say fear the worst. Admit it, you've all overreacted so now please have the guts to put things right. Sept 26th Trafalgar Square protest - be there !

  53. @L D lol yes that as well!! :)

  56. Mandatory 'by the backdoor' vaccine passports coming. Cabinet meeting to discuss today!!! Not just for travel of course... no vaccine no job, no visiting sports events or cinemas or pubs or cafes or shops... And this won't be just a one off for Covid - it will require a regular yearly variant update... and of course once the precedent has been set then what else will the force. Sterilisation once you've had two kids perhaps?

  59.  @jollyjohnston1984  lol nice to see a humorous reply instead of the usual bile!
    1
  60. Not anti-vaxxers!! Stop trying to simplify things. The huge majority are against this particular rushed vaccine except for the very vulnerable. They are concerned about mandatory vaccine enforcement, medical freedom and protecting children. Try to actually research and report.

  61. https://gbdeclaration.org Over 15,000 scientists & medical staff have signed against the lockdowns... why is no one listening to them... probably because governments around the world have made a huge mistake and now don't know how to back down. Either that or there really is a conspiracy...
    1
  62.  @Peterbrendanalbert  lol I think I've suffered from that a bit too... we all seem to feel the need to express our pointless opinions to those who don't care!! Not just political either I've found myself commenting on cute ferrets falling asleep videos!!

  63. Stop running scared. Stop arresting Doctors for speaking the truth against this scamdemic. We do not consent!

  64. river nile bank nya om fair comment. But in my defence I’ve turned down paid jobs because they wanted me to wear a mask. I don’t have a mask, continue to shop go on trains etc without one and been to all the demonstrations I can.

  65.  @FazeParticles  well done. Where and what is your establishment?

  66.  Ashley Peters  I think you mean principled, but thanks for the input anyway. It's much appreciated to have some quality dialogue.

  67. Walk away Boris don't you dare back down. Sick and tired of being told what to do by this bunch of dictators. Once we go other countries will too that's why they are scared.. the EU is not Europe. We will have access regardless what a nonsense... just like other countries outside EU.

  68. @one step sparring it does seem no one can ever offer a counter point on YouTube without adding a personal insult. Rather weakens your argument, even so I respectfully suggest that your point of geography is irrelevant.

  69.  EL JAY  No the point is very often the flooded homes are not new homes in flood plains. Often, like the cottages in the film, they have been there for years. The problem is building on flood plains often miles away. Then the developers/water board divert the water from the new build locations in an attempt to mitigate but the water just backs up and bursts banks miles away.

  70.  @martyfeldman3269  'people like me'! not sure why you're being so antagonistic? Where I live it's flat.. we hardly have hills in Cambs/Beds. I'd agree that damage to moors and their natural water retention may indeed be part of the issue in some areas but I can assure you that building on previously wide open expanses ("flood plains") with natural drainage is equally, or more, to blame.

  73. That is a great idea.

  74. Sarcasm?

  75.  @cheryldeboissiere7824  lol really please check your facts. Natural immunity supported by vaccines for many diseases, is absolutely the fastest way to achieve herd immunity and there is even an argument to suggest overall it is faster albeit perhaps with a higher mortality rate. PS. I'm English.

  76.  @jonsid6628  that's a fair point Jon but so far these variants generally haven't led to more hospitalisations. In fact hospital admissions are falling in most places as we move out of winter.
    1
  77.  @jonsid6628  lol a clever play on words but I did mean "because". Graphs showing peaks and falls across the western world regardless of lockdown or not and regardless of vaccine or not are following similar patterns.

  78.  @DiRtYLaWs2007  I'm trying my best to keep up, but I'm busy being angry and offended on several other videos too!! :) that is a fair point although the fact the company have apologised seems to indicate they knew they were in the wrong.

  79. Where do they find these people? Start thinking for yourselves and do a bit of research... the idea that Boris with a degree in Classics and Matt Hancock (Philosophy) and Priti Patel (Economics) actually know anything about pandemics is a joke. So they take advice from SAGE, full of pharma share owning automatons who look at everything in isolation and without any sense of perspective.
