  1.  @raatkirani4405  Your comment is so ignorant it's staggering. A candidate for the Guinness book of records I think. Genetic material is not the same as a virus. It's not a DNA test.

  2.  @micah.101  What have old people's deaths, or lack of them, got to do with the virus not being killed by the heat? Old people who know they are vulnerable are probably avoiding the risk situations. A lot of older people in care homes died because they could not avoid the risks when untested hospital patients were sent back into care homes, which at the time didn't have PPE and other protective equipment.

  4. I think the doctors know more than you when they give reasons for deaths.

  5.  @michelgobets3803  No they don't It's professional doctors who sign death certificates. There are at least flu vaccinations to protect against flu. There are no vaccinations for Covid at present.

  8. Sorry, nurses are more important than most of the rest. They have our lives in their care. The private sector have had pay rises way above the public sector now but I agree many people need a pay rise now and need to press for one, not condemn others that do.

  12.  @stevepal8432  He didn't recover in 3 days. He had the virus for about 10 days I think when he self isolated. Then it got very bad (as sometimes is the pattern with that virus). Then he went into hospital and was in intensive car for 3 days - not the most serious intensive care where you are intubated on a ventilator but intensive care where you are given oxygen. It was 50/50 at one time whether he would need intubation or not, but fortunately he started to get better. Then he spent a further period at home recovering. People vary in how they are affected by the virus and how serious it gets for them. I wish people would look up the facts.

  13. We are just going to become a satellite of the USA instead. Parliament has already (very recently) voted to prevent the UK from blocking the import of chlorinated chicken, showing they will bend over to be rogered by the USA for a USA deal.

  14. So NHS staff are killing themselves looking after people how? How do you explain the excess deaths figures this year, and why are governments around the world ruining economies - for what reason? What benefit would they be getting from this 'scam'?

  15. This attitude is why we get useless people voted in as representatives. It's his job to be accountable and handle questions without flipping out about it. If he can't handle that, maybe he's in the wrong job or has something to hide. I'm sure people who voted Boris in thought he was 'a good laugh' but when chaotic government is the result it has serious consequences for real people.

  16.  @immyu6566  OMG as soon as you mentioned David Icke. He's a complete loony. Listen to some proper scientists and medics who know what they are talking about and have verifiable science and research to prove it, not someone who believes in aliens and that we are ruled by lizards.

  17. I'm sure lorry drivers earn more and don't have people's lives at stake. You have to take into account that she lives in London where rents are very high and mortgages are unaffordable on that income. Average rents in London are £1000 though it depends where you live. It's much higher in some areas and I found this via googling 'Tenants in London could end up spending 15 per cent more on rent by 2023, according to a leading property agent. Savills told the Standard it predicts rents will rise much faster than house prices over the next four years, as Brexit uncertainty, larger deposits, a reluctant buyer's market and pricey build-to-rent homes impacts on property costs.' Are nurses all to leave London? Their wages have lost about 25% in value since the Tories came into power while the cost of living has risen by 10% in 2022 alone. Many nurses are leaving the profession because they can earn more in supermarkets. That can't be right. It seems people on low wages resent more skilled and responsible jobs from being paid more, even if nurses have had to spend years studying before earning a wage and funding that study at their own expense.

  20. It's an important part of history and as someone said on the radio this morning, a week before this interview she visited journalist Max Hastings (who is not connected with the BBC) and told him the same things.

  21.  @DW14974  And your scientific and medical qualifications are?

  23.  @deanthorpe1684  I don't think you're sorry at all about what you said, and I never said you could enforce it. You can go and boil your head but remember I can't enforce that.

  24. I think he has the kind of 'liberal' economic views that Boris has, and probably has the ambition that means he'll do what he's told by number 10. If Johnson is going to dictate spending and then expect the Chancellor to take the flak by 'balancing the books', we could either be in for more savage cuts or a chaotic economy.

  26.  @gc4575  Yes they are a right in any decent civilised society and especially in a rich western one where 1% of the population now owns as much as 70% of the rest of the population together.

  27. And too many low skilled holding Ministerial positions.

  28. But it's not clear what it means. Disliking the fact that Covid cases are up, or disliking being told about it, for other reasons?

  29. What's fair about it? He abused her in the marriage and then couldn't handle when she moved on. That's a sign of a pathetic individual.

  30. It's not his fault if people don't follow the guidelines. It's not his fault if a more easily transmissible variation of the virus appears. It's not his fault if the government didn't prepare effectively or allows air traffic through without checks.

  31. @Phoenix What exactly does it go to show? Do tell us.

  32. So why are government Ministers saying they need EU help for an airline deal?

  33. Those on minimum wage are not as qualified as her, have not spent years qualifying at their own expense, do not have life and death responsibilities and probably aren't paying average or upwards London rents which are increasing when the value of their pay has gone down 25% under the Tory government, or is everyone to be paid on minimum wage in which case all our skilled workers will move abroad? The Tories love it when workers attack each other rather than them.

  34. Strains and variations are different things. These are variations but they are created where there are few controls and lots of people mixing and spreading the virus.

  35. Because it takes time to distinguish economic migrants from refugees. There are international obligations on refugees but not on economic migrants. However if they don't do the work to establish which is which, the courts will stop any removals.

  39. Capitalist competition is supposed to stop prices rising, particularly in a slump where demand is low. That's how capitalism is supposed to work, according to economists and capitalist theorists.

  40. They probably make their money as an offshore tax haven, not that it's shared out among the population.

  41. Cox kept giving the wrong legal advice but it was what Boris wanted to hear. Perhaps he started to give the right legal advice and Boris didn't want to hear it. That's what they usually mean by 'not a team player'. Leadsom is both dim and also only wanted power because it's useful to her brother the hedge fund manager, and I think her husband also has business relations with him.

  47.  @jakedickson2311  It's crazy indeed and there is no solution that would please everyone in NI and the Tory government. I remember pointing this out in a youtube comment after the Referendum vote in 2016, but no one took any notice. Lol. The 6% are the hard line 'never agree with anyone ever unless they get their own way' mob who vote for the DUP. They never agreed to the GFA and never agreed to power sharing. There is no solution that everyone would be happy with, indeed, but pandering to the 6% would break the Good Friday Agreement. The government has not yet tried 'implementing the protocol'. After all NI got a better deal than the rest of the UK. As the British Foreign Secretary put it, if such a deal was offered to the rest of the UK they would be biting hands off to get it.
