  1. Restrained. He was stopped from entering his own pub. Ridiculous.
    1800
  2. I notice how authorities have kept quite about how ill it may make people since SA Doctors said it's only mild at least at the moment. If that is the case it doesn't really matter how many people get it or who gets it.
    541
  3. Apparently those who got coronavirus first in Germany were mainly young people who came back from skiing trips in Italy. Says so on Sky News website. That helped Germany. Good on those young people maybe they kept away from older people straight off the bat.

  4. Trump says he has much to share over coming months. Interesting times. Some want him to fade into the sunset. I don't think that's going to happen.
    157
  5.  @MattB-st6ky  Ah so now landlords have a dress code and a certain look. I see.
    128
  6. I know how Prince William feels Grandfather can be very special to a Grandson. I still miss mine and it's years... later.

  7. This pledge is a clever move. It's not NATO. But if Sweden or Finland ever want any kind of help the UK will assist. The ball goes back into Putins court. Because no matter what. Putin knows that nothing at all changes in terms of if he threatens or thinks about attacking the UK. NATO remain one in all in as always.
    102
  8. BOOM see u later WHO.
    87
  9. Get Sky News Australia to interview some of these China officials that I'd watch. They'll do it properly.
    81
  10. Lol Boris. Anyone see that coming. Maybe he was due the job in the next reshuffle anyway.
    69
  11. Now he's the Worlds greatest and best economic expert. :D
    69
  12. I wish I had updates like this when flu is about. It would be very handy. I think flu needs to be followed with a fine tooth comb also.
    55
  13. Far more men die of covid than women. I demand the authorities recommend I can stay indoors sat on my backside until 2021.
    53
  14. People need to ask themselves. If there is anyone from a 100 years plus ago who DIDN'T have any what would now be seen as controversial elements about them. Why are most of the Left so incredibly thick.
    50
  15. This pledge is a clever move from all sides. It's not NATO. But if Sweden or Finland ever want any kind of help the UK will assist. The ball goes back into Putins court. Because no matter what. Putin knows that nothing at all changes in terms of if he threatens or thinks about attacking the UK. NATO remain one in all in as always.

  16. Currently 26.3% down on the 7 day rolling average. That's pretty fast in the grand scheme of these things. The guy clearly has no clue.
    45
  17. There's never been anyone any PM who's every single move is a wrong one. It's crazy.
    43
  18. That's it Sadiq there is no limit to how many people we can welcome. There are no limits to how many roofs there are available to put over peoples heads. There is no limit known to man that our services can't cope with. We do have money trees. It's alright for Sadiq. If we had limitless numbers. He'd moan again when there was nowhere for many of them to go. The man is utter fool!
    40
  19. SN once again over-egging the pudding big time. And not reporting facts again. Wonders will never cease.
    40
  20. When will they reveal the real numbers regarding deaths.
    38
  21. GPs should be well rested. I'm pretty sure they used to work harder a few years ago. Than they have in the last around 2 years. Also modelling is saying this.. What??
    36
  22. Not interested in Meghan and Harry. God Bless Her Majesty The Queen. RIP Duke
    31
  23. 800K cases of colds a day. All depends how close Omicron is to a cold. By recent studies it's became a decent amount closer at least. Point comes where cases don't matter at all. It's close to that now I suspect. All the data we get is a little bit behind. Things take time to even out. Even more so over the Christmas period. Deducing trends accurately is more difficult than usual.
    28
  24. I could win the lottery tonight. That's about as likely as a SAGE model turning out to be accurate.
    27
  25. Boris has a strange family. Who needs enemies, hey. The comment he made about getting Brexit done is the best way to honour Jo Cox, has been taken out of context. The full detail is that he said, maybe when Brexit is over the line general tensions will calm down. And things would move on.
    25
  26. Sky News. Do a deaths per capita comparison. Per million. And then tell us who is the worst in Europe.
    23
  27. That guy something very strange about him imo. Do not trust him at all.
    23
  28. How's Policing doing up in Manchester, Andy? :D He got off very light there. Thanks to all the extremely bias media in this Country.
    20
  29. Philip helped design the Land Drover. Legend.
    18
  30. How many people have actually been killed by covid? Not died with it... Imagine someone in Hospital already really ill with something else, or even someone in a care home under a palliative care program. Who then contracts covid, and who goes onto to shortly die. It's likely covid did not kill them, the other thing or issues did. Covid just happened to be within their bodies at that time.
    18
  31. So many permutations and caveats come into play here when doing these graphs. It will be a long time before it can be said who has done 'good' and who hasn't so much.
    18
  32. EU "leader" isn't a leader of a Sovereign Country of course. Respect to her for going. But Boris the UK leader is by far the most well-known and prominent leader to go so far.
    17
  33. Indeed things now are these last 7 weeks have shown us that.
    17
  34. Numbers aren't as dramatic as they can appear. Doing some calculations. Last 7 days number of positives and the last 7 days number of tests. Results are around 81% were negative.
    17
  35. Why are we different Sadiq. Salsibury springs to mind. Boris speaking to the Russian people in Russian also springs to mind. Putin won't be happy about that kind of thing. We have to be more careful than most. The guy is a fool imo.
    17
  36. 53,000 cases out of 1.1 million tests yesterday. That was a higher day sure. It will keep on fluctuating. That's how it works. But swap that figure around though. 1,047,000 negative people in all those.
    16
  37. I thought Beth was interviewing a serial killer for a minute there. That aggression. lol There was another one like that as well. Funny stuff to see.
    16
  38. He can have an honor if he declares how much of his humongous wealth he's personally given to help the poor...
    16
  39. So let's get this right Cummings the rule breaker claims this. The man who was probably at most if not all these "parties". The man who probably arranged some. The man who if he had any integrity would have told the news the public about these "parties". A long time ago. At the time. Essentially he's very bitter. Because he was told to leave his job. Because he was found out to have slagged off Boris Mrs.
    16
  40. The biggest mountain out of a molehill scenario in history.
    16
  41. This has come up several times now. No media will cover it though of course. People like Sky News would rather just bash the UK Government.
    15
  42. It' been in East London before. SA variant has been in the UK for quite a while now. Overall numbers of cases has kept relatively low. With minimal community spread. Once again right now. There is "Nothing to see here".
    15
  43. 1 in 45 in Wales. What now? It's the same as last week isn't it. And many weeks during 2025 it will still be the same.
    14
  44. Sky News can see into the future so clearly. Wow!
    14
  45. He speaks with passion that can't be denied. Talks a good game. However Mayor is an easy job in comparison to being a Westminster MP or even more so a Minister... It also seems as if most if not all Mayors pull the Sturgeon trick. If something good occurs in your area take credit. If something bad is happening blame Westminster entirely.
    14
  46. He 'may' have. Plenty of people 'may' have and actually have in the past few weeks. People on beaches and in parks. The Police do nothing about most of those. What about the 3 or 4 Labour MPs who have seemingly definitely broke rules. Have they been investigated?
    14
  47. Is it June already fgs. There will be more to come on this. So many idiots around.
    14
  48. Pandemic happened. Who do you look after first and foremost your own family. In Government terms that means the Country you Govern.
    14
  49. Thems the rules now for deaths basically all over the World. Before that in the UK they were ridiculous. Someone who caught covid had a positive test. Recovered. But died months later of something else used to still be counted as a covid death. 28 day's doesn't apply to vaccines though. As no death has been proven to be caused by a vaccine as of yet.
    14
  50. The most interesting thing I've seen of late is what the BBCs Health Correspondent Triggle wrote on their website last night within an article.. He's the best person on there in my view. Talks more general sense than anyone else on there. He was saying during this third wave deaths MAY get up to 100 to 200 daily. And added as a comparison deaths from flu during 2017/18 season were happening at 300 to 400 a day. Now what I say to that. No one tells us these figures in the public domain at the time we are non the wiser. They aren't reported. No one is obviously crying out that we lockdown, wear masks etc Many people have lost all perspective when it comes to covid19.
    13
  51. Well done Boris. Fair play. He got them there. EU didn't want to go the SWIFT route at all the other day. Well some EU Countries didn't. Better late than never.
    13
  52. What a Donkey.
    13
  53.  @paulholmes1349  The point was he was talking about NOW and it not dropping fast. He was wrong. It clearly is dropping pretty fast now.
    13
  54. Well if 100% true as SN are stating it. In a Country of ardent animal lovers this is a good news story for Boris. Even though the MSM want to make it bad as per. People love those who love animals.
    13
  55. Oh my God. Timid. Zero charisma. Stealing Boris lines, like Snipping from the sidelines. Like or loathe Boris, the day Sunak and CO clubbed together to remove him is the day ironically that the Tories well and truly dug their own graves with 100% no turning back.
    12
  56. What "answers" are people expecting I always wonder? There are no perfect, or anywhere near close to perfect ones, experts don't even have any. They always disagree that tells a story in itself. Any decisions, any position taken, will always have quite severe consequences no matter what.
    12
  57. Brutality. The most brutal thing right now is covid19. These idiots do not get this.
    12
  58. Sky News doesn't realise it's coming later this year. That's what has been said. Also Queen's speeches never do detail. That's not the point of them. Can I have a job now? Lol
    12
  59. If the plan is to carry on that way. Why. What is the point.
    12
  60. Good God these people really do want it to be bad and get worse all the time. They don't want the money to stop rolling in and there time in the limelight to be over.
    12
  61. Dogs taking up spaces of people.... LOL Sky News.. Dogs don't sit in seats..:D
    12
  62. Those who moan about no more restrictions, lockdowns. That say too soon. Well let's face it for some it will always be too soon. I hope they have always been as equally as concerned during many autumn and winters when 20,000 plus have regularly died of flu. I hope themselves and their families have partaken in self-induced restrictions and lockdowns every flu season.
    11
  63. What the hell. The victim. Did this interviewer ask them about faulty tests they sent to some of the World. An the faulty masks story that has come out earlier today. Probably not. I won't be listening to this interview it will no doubt be bias.
    11
  64. Do any experts know what they are doing. Makes me wonder. UK, US, EU approve of vaccines for 12 to 15. Yet WHO have very recently I think yesterday not recommended it.
    11
  65. A proper old school fella. Just like my Grandad. A positive person with a great personality. And I suspect kind and caring behind the scenes. RIP
    11
  66. 4 in a million. All very strange. How can something be so rare. I wonder how that stacks up to other vaccines and medications etc
    11
  67. Starmer was thrashed in the last local elections. Also in the latest voting intention polls for the next GE Starmer has lost ground yet again. So if success or failure is so important. Starner himself should have resigned by now.
    11
  68. Those aren't where SN want at the moment. They've dropped. Don't want to report that. For example people in Hospital peaked this time around a few weeks back at 9,700. Now it's 7,300.
    11
  69. And let's remember who brought up Jo Cox first. If I was Jo Cox family, I would be furious at the several women of the Labour party who seemingly couldn't stop talking about Jo. It's come out of nowhere, clearly the new underhand tactic to try and discredit Boris. Do they think no one can see-through these things.
    11
  70. So he doesn't have a plan. Or clear ideas what he would do himself. But he'll easily deduce if the Governments plan is right or not... :D Yeah ok.
    11
  71. Been here before with Lib Dems. Ed is dreaming. Dream on fella.
    11
  72. Yep something else that never gets factored in.
    10
  73. May couldn't/didn't get her out. Boris did. Ungrateful Labour lefy activists. Playing Labours political games.
    10
  74. Good point. A disgrace in so many ways.
    10
  75. Yet another thing said by him today that doesn't have any evidence or facts to back it up. Just one word against another. I thought we were going to get hard evidence recordings and all sorts. Funny that. It didn't happen. Where are they.
    10
  76. Good call. That's it Boris don't let the French authorities harm the Jersey folk. Jersey is a fine place.
    10
  77. He's having a laugh. They are more mixed and divided in their opinions than anybody! There are over 50 members of SAGE. And they have plenty of disagreements the CSO said it to be the case. There are too many in that group imo. It allows for too many opinions. That in itself can cause confusion. 5 would be enough. Possibly 10. But 50 odd is not good.
    10
  78. Sky News was better 5 years ago. Its terrible now, That news caster dude was alright. For a news caster. lol
    10
  79. Labour think all the public have terrible memories. :D
    10
  80. He answered the pathetic questions. Most of the questions are dumbarse ignorant questions. What is anyone suppose to do with them. The thing Boris did mess up is thinking the British people have common sense. Many clearly do not have that anymore.
    9
  81. They claimed and mocked that Boris clearly doesn't even recognise a party when he sees one. And yet Rayner apparently doesn't even know where she is what event shes at. At all. Must have been so pissed up at the event. So must the rest because for months they err forgot she was there.
    9
  82. Your point is? 1.7 million tests done yesterday. 2 million on some days. Per head more than almost every single Country on the planet by a long way. That's plenty surely. We need less testing not more.
    9
  83. He's TRYING to come across as honorable today. I don't buy it. And if he believed that trip was such a disaster for ongoing policy. He had the option of resigning at the time. Now that would have been honorable. He didn't go until he was pushed. Because he kept having a pop at Boris Mrs. Obviously Boris wasn't going to let that slide. Who would.
    9
  84.  @dime4026  Very true. But its the media who appear to love making this a 'competition'. It would be better if they take everything into account though. And cut the sensationalism.
    9
  85. I don't know Sky News. The relevant Doctors will decide.
    9
  86. Seems to me most Mayors if not all. Play the Sturgeon trick if something good occurs in your area take the credit. If something bad is happening blame Westminster entirely. Great gig.
    9
  87. An let's be realistic. A lot of this Indian variety anxiety from Boris, Hancock etc "Spread like wild fire" in the unvaccinated and the like. Was a tactic aimed at trying to get those refusing the vaccine to get it. It seems to have worked quite well.
    9
  88. Boris playing Sunak etc like a fiddle. I recall one of his allies the other week saying there is stuff that others wouldn't want coming out. Now Boris is challenging the CO to put it all out there.
    9
  89. A lot of care homes are run by private companies. The Government aren't as responsible for them as they are the NHS. There were stories of private owners refusing to get their staff PPE, even though they could get it if they put some effort in.
    9
  90. The media need to be asking why he's inside. What is the intention. Regardless of your views on opening up. He shouldn't b inside right now. I'm surprised no media that I've seen haven't jumped on this so far.
    9
  91. He's always been able to do this when he wants. It makes me laugh how some people don't know. Haven't seen it. Most of the time he likes to be underestimated. That's the MO. It's worked out well for him overall.
    9
  92. And still Italy, Spain, UK, France, US, are doomed. Spain deaths are now going back up again as well. I don't care what anyone says I smell a rat. These 5 Countries are being hit SO much harder than pretty much anyone else.
    9
  93. Good when they are happy it means they have their way.
    9
  94.  k20  True. Still want to see them given a very hard time however.
    9
  95. Yep. What was the intention going inside that pub. We aren't allowed inside right now.
    9
  96. Some people keep saying the UK lockeddown too late. So who did it right then? China? Err they had an advantage. They knew all along exactly how long this thing had been brewing and how potent it is. And Countries like China and South Korea are more authoritarian. The people in their masses tend to follow Government rules straight away. They don't fight the control.
    8
  97. I'm not sure what 'recommendations' people expect the Government and other officials to give them. I assume all they can do is keep themselves as safe as possible follow guidelines very strictly wear PPE and face coverings in certain circumstances. What more can be said? Do people want the authorities to tell all BAME people to stay indoors until 2021! That would go down well. Not. There's only so much that can be said.
    8
  98. Best DR on the planet. :D
    8
  99.  @TheFreshman321  lol Boris and CO of course don't turn up at every care home and home to access the situation and tell the medics what to do.
    8
  100. Brexit. :D
    8
  101. A great collective job by the Government, NHS, and her majesty's forces.
    8
  102. Yes it will be if the remoaners don't stop crying. They need to move on. They lost the vote to stay. End of story.
    8
  103.  @davidanthony4960  If everyone stays away from each other that is still the most effective thing. Cut the transmission of the virus right down. Some people obviously need testing. But the vast majority do not it just wastes tests. Staying away from each other is the most important aspect to all of this.
    8
  104. Weird old times we live in. The PM does something he's lawfully permitted and entitled to do an yet it gets ruled unlawful. The Miller woman and all involved are a disgrace what will they take to a court next. 'Many remainers' are the epitome of sour grapes. I'm buying a boat soon I don't want to drown in their tears on the 31st of October.
    8
  105. My thoughts are with India. Praying that things get better as soon as possible.
    8
  106. I hope money to India wasn't mentioned in this vid. In World GDP terms currently they are 5th UK is 6th. It's not the UKs fault how money is distributed over there.
    8
  107. Said "juicy bits" are being investigated by actual investigators properly. Clearly that's right. Her job was just to automatically believe anything anyone tells her or sends her. And state that.
    8
  108. Vote share is key. Same result as indy 1 would occur. If there were an indy 2.
    8
  109.  @chipxtreme  When is straight away? It's been on the list a few weeks now. And why Bolton? The more pressing question is why are just a very small number of places across the Country STILL struggling to control the virus. Rates are very low indeed in most places across the Country.
    8
  110. Boris has always been able to do this if he wants too. That's why some people are unwise to underestimate him. And his abilities.
    8
  111. Hopefully he remained calm today. And not totally lost the plot like he normally does in interviews. Still speaks utter bullshine no matter what though.
    8
  112. God I hope I'm not as miserable and pessimistic as this old man. When I'm his age. Pass him a LOT of Kleenex!
    7
  113. They have no NHS, mate. Completely different system .Our UK system is unique.
    7
  114. And UK ICU figures have dropped of late.
    7
  115.  Trevor Wood  If true. It does that kind of thing most if not all winters. More general illness is unfortunately around this time of year. And lockdowns and GPs not seeing people face to face much at all for months and months hasn't helped.
    7
  116. I'm disappointed how many thick people there appears to be in this Country right now.
    7
  117. Lol Many SN reports feel like a lot of acting is going on. :D
    7
  118.  @commercio3564  Yep Labour wreck it Tories are left to clear it up. Actually happened many times in History.
    7
  119. ECHR is clearly the pathetic one. Time to pull out. Ignore them. Change the law. Whatever. It will come.
    7
  120. Only 56% on your bias hand-picked poll. That looks quite good for Boris.
    7
  121. A Judge now doing the right thing on these kind of matters. Wow. Has Boris bunged a Judge a lot of money to do the right thing. I couldn't even give a fig if he had on this occasion. lol
    7
  122. The news will always find some people frustrated with the schemes. Nothing is perfect. Not anywhere. There's Countries where LOTS of people still have no homes found for them. Clearly it's unfortunate but understandable.
    7
  123. The masses won't allow it. They love the NHS too much. But don't understand that these days its not viable anymore. I'm afraid the system needs to change.
    7
  124. They haven't beaten Boris yet. The idiots can keep trying. 37 days to go.
    7
  125. The laws should have never been as extreme in the first place. I blame Whitty and SAGE more than anyone. Clearly they came up with all the largely extreme uncalled for rules. Medical experts did. NHS and others as well.
    7
  126. Clearly Boris address to the nation was better. Starmer is straining hard here and struggling to look genuinely sincere.
    7
  127. What's he on about. I could say.. It is disgraceful the spiel that Whitty came out with in a conference the other day. It wasn't as subtle as he tried to make it out. Clearly he was trying to discredit SA Doctors. Experts such as Professor Tim Spector and others are now saying Omicron being mild does look to be true. The scarmongering and fear mongering and exaggeration put out by Whitty and Vallance is disgraceful. The amount of times they've been wrong throughout the pandemic is disgraceful. Is Whitty an expert in the correct field even? Just because he's CMO doesn't make that the case. Most of SAGE are behavioural experts fgs.
    7
  128.  @genericaccount7422  Speaking of testing capacity/testing number differences the likes of BBC and SN never mention those differences when doing these kind of comparisons. Summer... 7 day rolling average around 150,000 tests a day, over recent weeks around 600,000. Oxford or somewhere needs to do some equations and calculations. And it needs to be announced publicly. What would the 13 to 15,000 daily infection rate numbers that we are getting right now be if we still had that 150,000 tests 7 day rolling average number. Instead of 600,000. Probably not too far off what the infection rate numbers were during the Summer.
    7
  129. What confusion. I was never confused. Nothing was ever happening today. No minister mentioned sunbathing at any point. Some newspapers pretending they know what Boris is going to say on Sunday was the issue. But luckily most people don't take any notice of them. Why can't they just wait the few days until Sunday fgs.
    7
  130. Some important aspects have flattened. Although its still bouncing around a tad. I really hope people stay in this Easter. Its crucial right now. One false move could quickly send any improvements steeply upward again.
    7
  131. No science. Just Political games. Macron is the ringleader. I guess Merkel is just letting him play for now. It's certainly not good for the people in the EU though.
    7
  132. 2 weeks recovery as I predicted. The real leader will be back. Glad to hear it.
    7
  133. This is like Brexit again! People are split. People are split on lockdown whether to ease or not. A crazy, crazy time in the history of the UK.
    7
  134. Err. Yes now he has been caught out. And is clearly a liar and a self-righteous massive hypocrite to boot.
    7
  135. I'd go further. Politician's are going to be shocked. A general election or a peoples vote. Will shock. Labour will get decimated in a GE. And leave will increase their percentage in another EU vote.
    6
  136. It won't make Putin more stronger. He already has the World stuck between a rock and a hard place. When it comes to their decision making. He has nukes. And more importantly he doesn't care about being destructive. He's proving that day in, day out.
    6
  137. Boris has been teasing the EU and teasing it out all along. He has always wanted No Deal. Fine by me.
    6
  138. Hand-washing...wtf.. I've always washed my hands pretty regular. Masks a permanent fixture. No thanks. Some of those so-called experts have lost the plot.
    6
  139. More and more Russian Soldiers will begin thinking why am I fighting for this. And what is this. Ukraine and with some help from NATO weapons are far far from a walkover.
    6
  140. And they SN are gutted about those polls. He sounds depressed about that. All these SN vids on this not working as they hoped.
    6
  141. A lot of people don't listen,the experts have said this week will be the worst. In fact they've said it numerous times. And for sure it takes around 3 weeks before the stricter lockdown can be properly judged. We won't know how well or not so well its worked until then. This has also been said numerous times.
    6
  142. And.. at no point has he said the roadmap would be stalled. It also might be something to do with early data from Bolton that say the spread of the virus is showing early tentative signs of slowing down.
    6
  143. Yes for starters the lead creator of the lockdown model Neil Ferguson. Probably had his mind more on having his way with the married woman.
    6
  144. This almost constant PPE chat is getting a tad tedious. The NHS has plenty of PPE, If not though they must ring the Government hotline. Even some care homes have it, and they're also checking temperatures regular. I know of this personally.
    6
  145. This man makes Boris look really quite genuine and sincere. Quite a feat. :D
    6
  146. Germany makes more of their own diagnostic test kits than anyone on the planet. They already had the best infrastructure in this area already in place ready to go. So naturally they got more test kits out there faster than anyone else.
    6
  147. What? There is plenty there for "working class" families. More than I expected there would be tbh.
    6
  148. All these apparent random people confronting Boris. Blatant set-ups. That guy should be ashamed of himself shouting in a Hospital like that. If I wanted to have a chat with the visiting PM, I'd do it away from the cameras. Talk to the man amicably in private. But of course these people just want to be seen on camera shouting and ranting. I don't know what they think they're achieving most people viewing it just think what a plank!
    6
  149. So does the ONS.
    6
  150. This speeding ticket thing not being as bad. On the contrary. Speeding ticket is worse. Think about it. Speeding can directly kill. Man getting brought a cake doesn't directly kill. This whole saga is ridiculously overblown imo.
    6
  151.  @petardos2684  I agree. Bars and restaurants are more of a problem imo. If those places are busy, surely they will be a hotbed for passing Coronavirus around.
    6
  152. Clearly they should have asked Sky News they would have been spot on. Ohh hindsight is a wonderful thing.
    6
  153.  @TheNeverslept  May, wasted a lot of time. Sure. Always the wrong person for the job.
    6
  154. Now he'll pay for his desperation to be in power. Should have accepted May's deal or something similar. Parliament couldn't agree on an acceptable path to follow. So what do they expect is going to happen after 3 years and all of that.
    6
  155.  @seafood1471  Actual evidence? Is weak and very scarce. Starmer also clearly broke rules. The evidence is more clear as well.
    5
  156. Starmers workplace does.
    5
  157. The Doctors whom Sky News have on. BMA Labour Political activists.
    5
  158. Tell me something I didn't know. No one ever said there would be change today.
    5
  159. That's Germany now highest cases overall last couple of weeks. Also per head Poland, Netherlands, Romania are higher. This thing clearly fluctuates up and down over a period of time pretty much all across the World.
    5
  160. Wrong. He said people still need to stick to only those in their own household. I think some people need to read the transcript that's available on his twitter page. They might notice more then.
    5
  161. Rejoining the EU is getting closer. Labour and Lib coordinated tactical plans are working so far. Although I think a lot of tory voters just aren't voting at all right now. Come a GE the game would be a different one. Much harder to employ tactics. When far more people vote. Don't count your chickens Beer Starmer lad.
    5
  162. I take it Sadiq will now mask up and go and lend a hand at a London Hospital or two. I'm sure there's something he could do. Will he heck. He'll just spend plenty of time doing countless interviews scaring and panicking some people even more.
    5
  163.  @Strangething90  Lol New Zealand and Australia. Completely different countries. Check out population sizes and population density. SO much easier to get control in those Countries. And Asian Countries, yep everyone believe those China figures. Trump.. he 's got enough on his mind. We have no doubt minimised damage, some early reports thought that up to 500, 000 people could die in the UK. Once again I think in particular our population density has really fucked us here.
    5
  164. @M H Blimey I wonder who told Sky News the Skiing story then. So many people have different ideas here. Bottom line no sod really knows, be it an expert or a layman.
    5
  165.  @dragonfly6908  Indeed. Then went on a Safari. Then went back into her job. Great life.
    5
  166.  @HusseinDoha  Indeed. The press turn up uninvited all the time.
    5
  167. Why can't these people wait for proper legitimate figures. Too much guess work. Juts be patient. Hospital deaths are the most accurate, that's why they are the deaths solely used to work out when we can come out of lockdown and things. Those along with Hospital admissions etc Why can't these people get into their heads no on is hiding care home etc deaths, the ONS release them for anyone to view. Governement figures are for Hospitals only, for good reason as I've outlined.
    5
  168. Decent what the BEEB. Although Starmer maybe in trouble there. The Speaker is looking into whether Starmer mislead the house on that. lol As for the Archbishop I agree with Boris sentiments there.
    5
  169. Organisers cancelled it. No authority told them to cancel it. There was nothing stopping it going ahead. I guess they don't rate it anymore. No big loss imo.
    5
  170. Don't agree. Labours gains are bordering on pathetic. Currently 59. Not many left to come in now. Experts before the vote said 200+ would be a good night. 100 to 200 would be okish but not enough to do real damage at a GE. And many have used Lib Dems as a protest vote. Won't happen in a GE in the same way.
    5
  171. UK banned Aeroflot 3 days ago. But better late than never by the EU. It takes them longer to get agreement for obvious reasons.
    5
  172. Unless David Miliband comes back. Or Tony Blair does. Lol Boris won't feel as though he's facing decent opposition.
    5
  173. I believe the single biggest reason we are where we are now is in particular due to England's population density figure. Its ridiculous.
    5
  174. All he managed to do well. Is get a married woman into bed.
    5
  175. I recall the story of During the London riots when Boris was Mayor he once walked up to the most aggressive and loudest guy there. Held his hand out and asked him what can he do for him. He's braver than some realise.
    5
  176. The last graph is a prime example of how every sod even experts are just largely guessing. They were way out! Too much scaremongering occurs. Way, way, before anyone has any real clue at all.
    5
  177. Easily,it was a mere judgement an opinion. Nothing factual. No one is being charged. No one is being taken to jail.
    5
  178. She needs to make Scotland Independent. Hope the Scots aren't fooled by her. Of course she's going to do opposite to Boris where ever possible.
    5
  179.  @Alexlfc4ever97  If its busy. People are far more condensed in a far smaller area in a busy bar or restaurant. It doesn't sound like a great place to be to me.
    5
  180.  @tonyreckless  So yeah around 5 Countries are being hit like a freight train. So I guess the rest of the World is just far superior to these Countries. I've yet to see anyone who could explain any of this.
    5
  181. Lmao. They were flirting if anything. She certainly did not tear anyone to pieces.
    5
  182. Yep. And your SN reporter is clearly to dense or bias to pursue this angle.
    5
  183.  @jasonahdjfhsdfg  Not even that. Starner had the MSM let him get away with it for too long. That's why the "cover story" may seem better to some.
    5
  184.  @A1K300  So easy to say and claim^ How much funding is enough?
    5
  185. The bigger question why has it took so long for these so called "parties" to come out.
    5
  186. Didn't.. way back then... Hence the fight to get as many as possible back then...
    5
  187. I believe he won't unless Hospital admissions and deaths go up a fair amount. They are still going down. As the graphs showed the vaccines may well be handling things. Infection numbers per se don't particularly matter like they used too before vaccines. No need to panic anywhere near as much now.
    5
  188. Damn! 2. Government should be following these things up. Being highly cautious. But media shouldn't be reporting this. It's just silly.
    5
  189. There is around 500,000 people in care homes across the UK. I've seen the figure that 11,600 people have died in care homes from/with covid19. Out of 500,000 that seems 'reasonable'. Sad but expected. Especially when you consider most in care homes are very elderly and often have quite severe illness already.
    5
  190. Germany have hid a lot during this pandemic in my view.
    4
  191.  @charliestewart885  Answer what exactly? There is no answer for many questions when it comes to this virus and situation. It's play by ear. Experts do it also. Hence their modeling that's a prime example. Just guesswork. They don't actually know. Sometimes pretty much correct. Other times way out....
    4
  192. Shut up and give people some credit then. And let them think. Stop going on and on, day in, day out, and making peoples heads spin.
    4
  193. Fair call in my view. Protecting the domestic unlock is the right thing. First and foremost.
    4
  194. MSM are more into this and into keeping it going and going the scaremongering and everything even more than the Government are. That's obvious.
    4
  195. BBC and SN won't cover that. MSM won't cover it. Burley and Rigby partied still in their jobs. Yep many hypocrites are around.
    4
  196.  @christopherblackburn6811  Lol "Business meetings" have always been allowed. Work events. Starmer was indoors with a bunch of labour staff drinking alcohol. In those pictures. Work or socializing... Can be asked in the same way as the tory "parties".
    4
  197.  @colakingcolaking7607  Before? Why would anyone have the unprecedented amounts of PPE this virus continually needs just laying around. On course. A long way to go yet. And none of these statistics ever take into account population size, and population density. They are key things to factor in.
    4
  198.  @Strangething90  Like many others I don't spend beyond my means. The vast majority of people will be just fine and live comfortably if they use some common sense. As always I'll make the best of what I've got, mate, instead of moaning about Governments all the time. Far too many people expect Governments to hold their hands every step of the way in their lives.
    4
  199.  @strawman3059  Lol Talk about nonsensical. Flu became more deadly. And the deaths Worldwide are flu. Ok...
    4
  200. Not enough money. Dear God. How much does he think we have. Over 400 billion has been spent on this pandemic.
    4
  201. More and more people including experts are saying omicron is mild in the vast majority. Even those who are normally pretty doom and gloom are now saying it. Backtracking in some cases. Including Professor Tim Spector. When are the muppet Politicians going to start listening. The SA Doctors appear to be correct. It's getting to the point where it's like shutting down because a bad cold is going around.
    4
  202. Porton Down are the cream of the crop. Here's to them.
    4
  203. That would only work at the start. Only about 3 Countries on the planet had the ability to do that from the start.
    4
  204. He got Brexit over the line is definitely accurate. Something that no one else could do previously over a 4 year period. Still a lot of sour grapes here in SN comment sections. :D
    4
  205. Why didn't Starmer and his guards see that group when they came out of wherever they came out from and immediately take evasive action. Take another route etc I mean did he think they were gonna say they love him. Did they not see signs in the distance etc They seem to just walk straight into it.
    4
  206.  @reconquistahinduism346  On most days of the week. There has been some good improvements over the prior weeks. That's the point. Look up the last 3 weeks day by day data.
    4
  207. And Starmer and I think Ed asked for the Police to be involved. Starmer deffo did. Boris is so much smarter than these fools. Now it's all backfired on them.
    4
  208. Just a point on herd immunity. Its working well for Sweden so far at least. It might be a shame that the media and others some experts helped talk the Government out of that as a possible strategy.
    4
  209. What Burley is back. Talking about this. And trying to hold the Government to account. That's hilarious Sky News.
    4
  210. Its annoying. Why do people never look up the actual precise words. The Police can't even do that now. The swap still has a way to go in the Country. Its far from emptied.
    4
  211. Yes but a new alogirthm developed by scientists said YES and now another 1.7 million is to be added to the other 2.3 million. Let's face it Scientists are running the UK and much of the world right now.
    4
  212. Oh God is it that time again Ed is off on one again.
    4
  213. If Sadiq thinks it will make people a lot safer he has another thing coming. UK scientists and in fact many scientists around the World state that general public mask or face covering wearing has very little benefit. I'm sure sure Sadiq has heard scientists calling the evidence weak. The tube will be a safer place to be than the streets where the 'protesters' are and have been though! Yet Sadiq cannot see that.
    4
  214. I don't normally support Sturgeon ever really. Well I'm not now either haha Tbf to her though she has pointed out some hypocrisy on his part in her reply. They are both as bad as each other imo. Some say it's crazy how Boris is so generally popular. Well in my view it's even more crazy how Burnham and Sturgeon are so popular. Both are moaning political point scoring opportunistic fools, who never stop moaning.
    4
  215. Anti-lockdown protest in London 3 weeks ago. That'll cause rises over the course of time. Bound to be someone in that lot with this variant and others.
    4
  216. They're gonna say that aren't they. NO MATTER WHAT. :D
    4
  217. The public are split about easing lockdown measures. Its 50/50. So what the hell is the Government suppose to do. There are no right answers.
    4
  218. So I see he agrees with the experts that things can be safely lifted tomorrow. He means Boris as well then. lol And not all... experts think things can be safely lifted tomorrow. So really he agrees with some experts. :D
    4
  219. Office for National Statistics figures showed that the week ending 10 April was the deadliest in England and Wales since 2000, with a third of the total 18,516 deaths registered being linked to coronavirus. Why only 2000 if this virus is so extremely bad?
    4
  220. Too much political point scoring during this crisis not enough working together.
    4
  221. These people are indoors inside a building which isn't their home with no masks on. Tut. Tut.
    4
  222. Those precise words were never said. Try again.
    4
  223. Already know. Labour. This is Sky News.
    4
  224. Now if Cummings provided an email that said words like Never mind the animals let them all die. Then he'd be onto something. Way more damaging than things such as staff bringing in a cake. Boris would be gone. Cummings is nowhere as smart as he thinks he is.
    4
  225. Today's overall infection, death, Hospital admission latest figures. Getting better and better.
    4
  226. If Sky News want to do some good impartial journalist work. They should seriously look into the way Germany are recording deaths from this virus. Because many people say they are recording deaths differently to the rest of Europe.
    4
  227. @J Y Makes sense. They should call their deaths the same as other Countries in Europe. The media need to report this over here in the UK.
    4
  228. Yep. Just posted kinda about that. WHO don't recommend it. But the, UK, US, EU are all recommending it. Seems crazy imo. May be it's the one thing WHO have right. lol
    4
  229. Political most of that. Macron etc The JCVI. The European Medicines Agency. Now WHO. All approved the vaccine for all adults. Yep Macron and CO know better than them. Lol
    4
  230. Twice in a short time. I just commented on a very similar vid. Same reply. Still boring as.. Boris doesn't seem worried about it. Let's not forget Blair and Cameron spent plenty on the flat as well in their time. All taxpayers money in Blair's case. Ultimately who cares a top job has to have some perks. Most people don't care about this.
    4
  231. Ok hands up who hasn't 100% strictly followed all rules and restrictions, laws. Throughout the entire pandemic. I haven't 100%. Loads of people haven't Sky News know that very well :D And no one knew about downing street stuff then either!
    4
  232. Why oh why, are mainly just Spain, Italy, France, UK and the US. Being hit like a freight train. In comparison to most everyone else. Unless this is going to be around for ages and other places are going to get hit really bad sooner or later as well. By the way I'm not including China in the list. Because IF the numbers are right considering their huge population size their figures are remarkably 'good' in comparison to the 5 Countries mentioned.
    4
  233. SN say this is something Russia have "claimed". Could easily be fake news.
    4
  234.  @badgoogle9938  So Labour back in power. Don't make me laugh. Blair was the last electable Labour leader.
    4
  235. So if its linked no other Country reporting this?
    4
  236. I'm not sure what the point is of the media keep showing these types of things. People already know exactly what it can do. No need to scare them any further. Anyone who gets it needs to remain as calm as possible. But clip after clip across the media of what it can do won't help people's thought processes.
    4
  237.  @jmas1219  Facts? Something that is proved to be true. Tell me what piece of fact proves that Boris was lying about his reasons for proroguing parliament.
    4
  238.  @jmas1219  And by the way the court does hear criminal cases.

  239.  @Jimmy-B-  Speed CAN directly kill as I say.

  240. Don't be a fool. This isn't changing anytime soon.
    4
  241.  @conalcorbally3001  USA and UK have given WHO far more money than anybody. They must still have plenty left. For now, now Trump has cut ties, the UK will be the biggest contributor. Other major Countries need to step up more.
    4
  242. Learn to live with the thing. It's not going away. Viruses tend not to. We have vaccines. And treatments. No more can be done.

  243. GB News experts are where the facts are. :D
    4
  244. This reporter should get to the shops immediately in 3 days time our shops will run out of many foods. And no more is coming for who knows how long. ;)
    4
  245.  @twistedcherrypop  What about if there's some dodgy evidence in the Sue Gray report? She probably cannot tell. The Police have the tech. What if this has happened. Doctored photos etc People really are missing the bigger picture I feel. This is Cummings we are talking about he sent in "evidence" remember. What I'm saying could very well be what has happened here. Definitely possible.
    4
  246.  @RandomVideosFirst  And now The Police will catch up with him sooner or later and his doctored dodgy evidence I suspect. He seems to have gone quiet.
    4
  247.  @gdwnet  Yeah that's why. Ya numpty.
    4
  248.  @kimsanghyuk97  How? Starmers rule break is more clear-cut than any of Boris personal rule breaks imo. I've always held that view. As have many others.
    4
  249. Worldmeters site says 268. Do the maths again.

  250. Shut up ya puppet. Worst PM in our history.

  252. Soon. 3 weeks minimum. There will more to come when it comes to how schools should prepare. Its not June yet. It's May 11th.
    3
  253. Those speaker of more stringent lockdowns PROPER lockdowns. So who has a PROPER lockdown worked well for then so far? China? if we are to believe their figures. I guess we could start beating people who don't obey, shoot them, violently drag them off the streets.
    3
  254. Throughout this pandemic there's been many "could's". Most never came anywhere near true. Needlessly panicking and scaremongering to extremes leads to more problems mentally and physically. People like Sadiq should think about that. Also throughout this pandemic the media themselves have a lot to answer for.
    3
  255. Experts left puzzled by sudden drop in coronvirus cases in India. An article on SNs own website. Sky News should concentrate more om that kind of thing. Things really don't add up with this virus. I've said it all along.
    3
  256. If she didn't get to see her dying loved one. I hope she mainly blames the person/s who advised Boris to not allow people to see their loved ones. Because I would be. I'm pretty sure that was Whitty and Vallance the "experts". So many people miss the whole picture! Also how Boris directly infected and killed anyone with or of covid I do not know. Everyone is responsible for their own lives. And I don't think Boris invented covid19.
    3
  257.  @everready2903  And the poster forgets that Hospitals have never actually been overwhelmed at any point in the UK. How some people talk we may as well have not even bothered with vaccines in the first place.
    3
  258.  @ashejiro4544  Apparent consequences. Mainly scaremongering. We only joined the EU in 1973. I think the UK will be just fine, even under a possible no-deal scenario. There are too many pessimists in this Country now. But I believe there are still many, many, optimists around. Who believe in this Country.
    3
  259. Yes Sky News claim they saw him on a packed beach coughing in everyone's faces. Lol
    3
  260. Ah, it'll be his fault he got it then. Just seen the latest video conference Beth of Sky News asks some stupid questions. Almost blaming Boris and Matt for getting it. Who knows they could have got it from one of the media who were still sitting in the room with Boris and CO like 4 days ago. If the press are so worried they could have refused to turn up at those press conferences like a week or more ago.
    3
  261. Could, could, could.
    3
  262. The fool has done it again making it worse. All he had to do is appeal for calm and say he understands not everyone at protests is a thug or violent. But ANYONE found to be doing so will feel the full force of the law. An later he needs to stop shutting down debate an opinions regarding certain issues that many people are genuinely concerned about. Two- tier policing. Immigration levels etc it's not rocket science.
    3
  263. The worst attempt at trying ever.... :D :D
    3
  264.  @marklynch1679  It's not. Let's take the last 2 weeks. 64 in Hospital that day in Scotland. It peaked at 99 a few days ago. Now 83. It's stabalising. No feasible worrying out of the ordinary rise is occurring.
    3
  265.  @manofkent3427  We are geographically that was my point. The OP didn't appear to know the difference between EU and Europe. Although I do feel I have more in common with Americans and definitely Austrailans I always get on better with those guys.
    3
  266.  @raulpower740  Link? The 24, 000 figure does not include care homes as far as I'm aware. The bottom line here is its very difficult to find out exactly how each Country is recording 'covid19' deaths. There are several rumours flying about regarding the differences between Countries ways of recording covid deaths.
    3
  267. Great. I'll have his yacht. :D
    3
  268.  @Richard-pe4cx  Labour are lucky. As I always say among the very best jobs in the world is being leader of the opposition. And to just be in opposition generally. They are lucky even in recent times, not to have had the 2008 recession to deal with. Not to have to deal with Brexit and get that vote honored! And now this unprecedented pandemic.
    3
  269.  @Strangething90  Labour left that infamous letter for the incoming Tory Government. No money left. Who could forget that.

  270. Vast majority will remain in level 2? It says in the small print. Not correct?
    3
  271.  @marklynch1679  How large or otherwise. Is that central belt. What size percentage of Scotland's land area does that cover. Be good if someone gave that figure.
    3
  272. What a Politician a man of many masks and many skills. Love or loathe there is no doubt about that. This Boris is the one who used to spar with Paxman and hold his own. So dear Beth won't stand a chance.

  273.  @TheAceisace  And Belgium 633.

  274.  @luke6239  US has done well so far for their population size. A lot of people/media are not comparing Countries like-for-like. They miss key things out such as population density etc

  275. He's a young MP. Actual leaders/PM/leaders of a party just wouldn't do it. He's still obviously very brave though.

  276.  @tommyatkins3673  off* For sure. Aren't UK expressions a thing of beauty. lol
    3
  277. What's the England Hospital number now. They should still report that separately as well. Because Hospital figures are STILL the only figure that many Countries put out there!

  278.  @DeezN1892  It's called being a hypocrite. And Dawn is one of the highest order. Lies to Police. Lies about her expenses.

  279. Any second wave won't show up for at least 2 weeks, more likely 3. So no that cannot be judged yet. We are not even close to a second wave yet. As I say we can't know yet.
    3
  280.  @t-dogg115  I didn't used to believe this. But now I'm beginning believe it. Most people I speak to, don't seem to know anyone who's had the virus or died from the virus. There should be some massive survey done online. Asking people do they personally know of people who have had the virus. Or died of the virus.
    3
  281. We are now the most transparent nation on earth when it comes to recording of deaths. The ONS is World leading as well. So many Countries are lying in one way or another. We don't know exactly how they record covid19 deaths. We don't know for certain if they include care home and all settings covid19 deaths. Most Countries just do not talk much about that at all. I wonder why.

  287. Experts say we are still some way off the peak? Who? I've seen some who say we are through it now. Some say we are on it. One even said we had the peak back on March 20th. Who the hell is saying we are some way off the peak? Is that Sky News personally controlled experts.
    3
  288.  @GideonCyn  Yep.
    3
  289.  @Tvjunkieful12  Could be the same with Boris and so called parties then. Those against Boris say he must have known about everything. That same logic could apply to Starmer as well then.
    3
  290. Damn so many news outlets are staggeringly missing the point. I get a strong impression that The cabinet office don't want Sunak messages to be seen is more like it. Think about the whole picture for a change SN. And that goes the same for some of your subscribers.
    3
  291. Oh no not this absolute bellend. Sky News are getting worse by the day having her on.
    3
  292. Incubation period on average 2 to 18 days. BUT there are reports of 28 day incubation periods. People taking 3 weeks or slightly more to unfortunately die. This all added together goes at least towards answering your question.
    3
  293.  @Bryan-Paul  Not daft. But very crafty. The ultimate fence-sitter plays all sides. Hoping no one notices. Hoping enough people from either side don't notice. Be nice if he came up with some viable original ideas sometimes as well.
    3
  294. Labour's turn to be really found out is coming. lol And I'm sure they are more murky than Boris and CO.
    3
  295.  @mattstuart2550  And Boris and CO and all the resources at their disposal have been on the hunt. More than ever now. I'm sure.
    3
  296.  @BretClement1989  Tested more than once yes. Locked up in a hotel yes. Name me some Countries who allow absolutely zero Indian's into their Country for no reasons whatsoever.
    3
  297.  @californiadreamin8423  NHS said it was ok in the corridor. Also just why did Boris not wear a mask while being interviewed by the media the other day. Why did they not ask him where his mask was. Probably because they also didn't have one on.
    3
  298. What? Stramer always uses the tactic of saying must go further for basically everything. That's a labour buzz word. Sanctions must go further.. How does he know he doesn't even know what they are in detail. It's clearly got to stay largely secret. He's not in Government.
    3
  299. Idiot! I'd love to cancel the vote every time my Wife and Daughters outvote me. But I can't! :D
    3
  300.  @dandbbuilding  Stay at their frigging door. As for supermarkets they were stricter last week. Some are now slacking. Its up to people to regulate distancing themselves as well.
    3
  301.  @Incywincey  He wasn't sacked for that. Boris backed what he claimed had occurred. Regarding Barnard Castle etc Why not expose "parties" earlier. Clearly he didn't because he was no doubt attending the parties. And arranging at least some I suspect. He left his post. Because he was found out to be slagging off Carrie Johnson.
    3
  302. What is sharp about him. He's saying the Government should have done things different. Yet he wasn't looking at the evidence and info they had at any given time. They could only go on that. Nothing sharp about being Mr Hindsight time and time again.
    3
  303. Boris will let him play Wimbledon. Will Biden. I don't know.
    3
  304. So an announcement was clearly made by his government saying that it's been watered down. Yet he says it hasn't been. lol
    3
  305.  @DigitalDaffodil  And he lives/works in a very unique situation. Some people clearly don't get it. Downing street is neither primarily a home or a workplace. It's a hybrid. All of this logically makes a difference.
    3
  306.  @josephkerrigan733  What he did was nothing imo. It's so over-the-top the outcry over it form some. 10 minutes in a room. Where someone brought a cake in when he came back from a working visit. And a few staff came in the room and wished happy birthday.The cake was probably even arranged as a surprise by his wife. Big deal. Hardly "partying" by any stretch.
    3
  307. Some transparent figures from Germany would be good. Pity they don't record covid19 deaths in the same way as us or count care home and other settings deaths.
    3
  308. So PHE gave out advice and an opinion over 2 months ago that was based on the evidence and info AT THAT TIME. So? What else were they to do. Starmer is playing Mr hindsight. How easy for him.
    3
  309.  @madeinbloxwich5566  He clearly means he doesn't have to actually work for it.
    3
  310. Lies to Police. Lies about her expenses. She sums up the majority of Labour very well. Hypocrites of the highest order. That is one of the main reasons why Labour get smashed at General Elections now. Massive hypocrites. As bad as the tories also are when it comes to lies and spin. Labour in addition to lies and spin have no real viable ideas of their own. It's just moan, moan, and Political point scoring all the way for them now.
    3
  311. The Police could have seen the report and seen dodgy evidence within it. This is clearly Cummings after all. He sent in some "evidence". It's quite easy to alter some photos etc, create some dodgy evidence. Sue Gray won't be able to see through it. The Police will they have the tech. Watch this space they're coming for Cummings sooner or later.
    3
  312. Every one in Europe wants to know this. Other Countries are intrigued. But their figures are creeping up. I'm pretty sure their new cases and deaths today is one of their highest for a day's total, If not the highest.
    3
  313. I wouldn't say 'covered up' as such care home data was always available via the ONS. At least after the press did plenty of moaning they added it into the daily total. A pity there are some major Countries who still don't add all known care home and other settings deaths to their daily totals.
    3
  314. Why are some in the comments pretending that it is only English football that has a minority of mindless thugs pretending to be "football fans". How about Italy, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, to name but a few. It's far from only an England problem.
    3
  315. Yes. A positive vid here from SN. Wow. :D The guy say's we'll monitor this over the coming weeks. He means daily monitoring. He loves showing that over, under 60 graph. Day in, day out :D
    3
  316. Cummings tried to get rid of him. In the end it was his trouser snake not being able to hold back from temptation that has done him. Hancock.. what an apt name.
    3
  317. China. As he said, it comes from China numbers. Remember the 1% was regarding generally healthy people. It'll be a tad higher for the vulnerable.
    3
  318. All the best medical Doctors and Nurses would never come onto the likes of Sky News. They just get on with their chosen profession. Their vocation. And this guy doesn't appear like a guy who's been run ragged on the brink of exhaustion. He looks fresh to me. A better idea would be not to scare and panic some already vulnerable people further. Because those people whom are already frail due to mental illness etc are the ones who this guy will make feel even worse.
    3
  319. We can all play different games. Media clearly love to manipulate things. I mean in Per capita terms Spain has the highest amounts of death. And they haven't even added all care home and other setting deaths. By all accounts they've not added many at all yet.
    3
  320. Nope. And they are actually MPs unlike Cumming's. Their constituents should know about what they did. It should be on Sky News etc They should be castigated for a day or two. But we know it won't happen.
    3
  321. I can't decide whom is more fake Starmer or Sunak. Terrible, terrible, choice. I'm glad voting is not compulsory here.
    3
  322.  @Woozer73  Nothing has. 3 years on. And still 17.4 million people are waiting.
    3
  323.  Truth and Freedom  Ah I see. So why haven't "they" done all of this earlier.
    3
  324. Sometimes the biggest enemy of a Country are some of it's own citizens. Predominately very pessimistic people. Naysayers. It's a shame. At least now both our Countries have someone who believes in their Country. Optimistic leaders.
    3
  325. Lol Good one.
    3
  326. And those Labour idiots are still playing party politics at a time like this. Disgraceful. But not a surprise.
    3
  327.  @stevenbell4053  Unfortunately it hasn't worked out so well for Italy, Spain etc Care to explain?
    3
  328.  @jianinghui45  Italy, Spain, France. UK, US. All too slow. Everyone else on the planet did well. It makes no sense.
    3
  329. Sky Employer? But hey I agree they do support the NHS well nowadays.
    3
  330.  @callmebill8982  And? Your point is? No one forces him to have that job.
    3
  331.  @LoveFalmouth  She was caught having a "proper" party. That's for sure.
    3
  332. Imo Boris. He made it clear to the public the kind of things that happen every time Labour are in power. He pointed out good things that Labour have voted against. He smashed their PPE argument out of the park. By telling them what they and Mr hindsight were actually asking for at the time! Telling Labour the kind of ridiculous places at the time they suggested that the Government should have make/invest in ventilators etc He replied to Stramer Thelma and Louise joke with a funnier joke even the the two ladies on either side of him couldn't hide their belly laugh. Starmer just gave us in hindsight replies. And platitudes. Often those two things were amalgamated into one.
    3
  333.  @flare9866  IYO
    3
  334. They don't like it up 'em. And Sky News Australia and the Aussie Government certainly give it to the people straight. Hard truths. Take note Sky News UK. lol
    3
  335.  @marekburniak1997  Fact is it's reality for the tories. 80 seat majority.
    3
  336.  @chrisj9700  Some people clearly have no idea how PHE works. They have operational autonomy. And the last time I checked Hancock isn't a computer programmer either. lol
    3
  337. So many thick people without common sense. Stay alert means use your common sense. A pity many of the British public don't have that anymore. Tbh I would just tell everyone to get back out there and down vodka to protect against covid in the same way some World leader announced the other day! Many of the British public nowadays aren't worth bothering about, its just moan, moan, moan, all day long.
    3
  338. Erm the Leader of Ukraine and his people love Boris. And know what he and the UK has done for them. They've actually said so.
    3
  339. Could. I don't think it will. Your charts and explanations are far too simplistic. Italy is also still registering deaths obviously. There's still a huge difference in numbers.
    3
  340.  @jamesarnold7253  Was it a "party" though. I've seen or heard no evidence that Boris was at a "party". The Police can be wrong. Just like they are about Beer Stramer and Sturgeon imo.
    3
  341. No one else is regularly including care homes. France included it for a few days and then stopped. Why do people not get this. The media should be reporting this. But of course they won't. Strangely enough Sky News Australia might be the only ones ho would. They tend to say it how it is around the World.
    3
  342.  @KingsguardRP  Maybe. Just stating what SA Doctors have said so far. Time will ultimately tell.
    3
  343. He raised it on Wednesday. All of 3 day ago. Wow. A very long time. The detail about the new variant being 70% more easily transmissible wasn't around on Wednesday. He didn't speak about that fact. Families will be heartbroken he cries. And yet just a few days ago he wanted Christmas cancelled completely. MR Hindsight strikes again. Mr Opportunist strikes again.
    3
  344. Armchair experts everywhere. Gotta hate them. lol
    3
  345.  @skullduggerysmiles8393  Lol Unprecedented emergency situation. No one who has a few brain cells cares that we lost some money in the quest for PPE etc. They get it. Might not like it but they get it. The situation at that time. At the start of the pandemic. When the UK and Global demand for PPE was unprecedented. Failures Sadiq has many on his watch I understand. All Politicians who've been around a while have a number of "failures". Some made up/exaggerated by MSM. Others genuine.
    3
  346. No all was not declared. Some declarations were only made when it caught up with him. Also he appeared to know all of he rules to a tee when he was having pop after pop at Boris. Funny that. The name given to him by some Labour MPs is also Mr rules. He's a raving hypocrite an bullshiner.
    3
  347. If the case. The Police have done Blair favours in the past. I'm sure. :D
    3
  348. Stramer asked them to get involved. :D That backfired. Not heard the recent calls for them to get involved. Including by Starmer as I say.
    3
  349. Someone let Stramer into a pub then I saw. Bless he looks real happy about that. Lol
    3
  350. A minority of bellends. Nothing to see here.
    3
  351. Flu kills 300 to 400 and more a day some years. Some of those are vaccinated. Guess what vaccines aren't perfect none are. No medicine does a perfect job for all whom take it that's how it is. Who knew hey. Difference is that we don't have a daily tally of figures in the public domain for flu. People generally are non the wiser.
    3
  352. This guy wanted to keep his head up. Beer Stramer right now will want to keep his down. His raging hypocrisy is becoming clearer and clearer.
    3
  353.  @vincehillman7122  Lol Erm The Police decide what looks significant and new and what isn't when they see it. Boris told us what he was told by others at the time. Which is more likely the truth. Than the fact Labour and Rayner herself appeared to forget for months that she was at that event. Maybe they were all just too plastered to recall. lol
    3
  354. Liars. How so? The science is still weak. But some people believe the science to be wrong. The Government have decided to appease those people. If it means they will get off their lazy butts now and go to work.
    2
  355. No not so simple at all. So Sky news didn't listen to the Deputy Chief Medical Officer then. Typical.
    2
  356.  @Dion_Mustard  Very often scaremongering news coverage. Doesn't live up to reality.
    2
  357. Vids are back. As expected. Not sure they did one on the days deaths were around the 200 mark. Also we are now reporting deaths more accurately and widely than anyone apart from Belgium. I want some proper excess death comparisons done. But good luck getting the accurate figures off of many Countries!
    2
  358. Yeah I'm afraid I don't believe ALL medics. The very small minority that keep appearing on TV, need to RING UP the Government hotline if they have equipment issues instead of talking to the likes of Sky News.
    2
  359. And regarding PPE. I'd like sky news and others to regularly report from other Countries care homes and Hospitals. And focus on PPE. There are unfortunately PPE problems in many Countries. I've read about issues in Spain and Italy. No doubt other Countries have issues as well. World demand is unprecedented.
    2
  360. Really? Ask Piers Morgan how he got his test so quick.
    2
  361. Number 1 Scotland doesn't have new legal "restrictions" just new guidance. Very different. Number 2 what makes Trevor think Scots in large number agree and will follow Sturgeons new guidance. There's no evidence to back those words up.
    2
  362.  Reverend RunBad  We test far more than Germany now. Our capacity is larger now. We've built that up. Germany had a head start for sure. Because their diagnostic testing infrastructure was already there long before the pandemic. They already had a far larger testing diagnostic industry than pretty much anyone else on the planet. Also those in Germany who are judged to have died of other things and just happen to have covid19 in their bodies at the time, aren't added to death certificates. That's one of the rumours around. The point is we need to know exactly how every Country has recorded covid deaths. Among other things. We don't know these things yet. Some Countries also haven't recorded any care home an other settings deaths.
    2
  363. For sure. The only chance they have is to stand up in gigantic numbers millions and millions.
    2
  364. He's a key worker/essential worker. That is why. The medics cleared him.
    2
  365.  @ashejiro4544  Perhaps a democratic public vote should just be honoured by now.
    2
  366. Sky News will be at that figure in two weeks.
    2
  367. Nukes yes. Hence what Putin said about that the other day. He put it out there. He knows it. The World is stuck between a rock and a hard place when it comes to the kind of decisions like no fly zones.
    2
  368. People in critical care beds is plateauing as well. So hopefully some decent drops will start to happen in Hospital admissions and critical care bed need. Now things are plateauing on those. Deaths will drop off last, for obvious reasons.
    2
  369. Not what was said. Listen to all of what was said. Or don't bother at all.
    2
  370. @UCkNAqU1jW8Q0VHuLPW1d77g That's essentially what I said. He can't get any stronger. Like the other person was suggesting. Due to the reasons I gave.
    2
  371. I hope the 9 year old boy listens to Warwick. Warwick is the man. He comes across on TV as having more confidence than most other presenters. He does a fine job.
    2
  372. No one anywhere in the World knows what's going to happen. Its a new virus that's only been around a couple of months or so. The press made this press conference somewhat of a debacle. Repetitive questions all over and they do not listen.
    2
  373. The news will always find some people frustrated with the schemes. Nothing is perfect. Not anywhere. There's Countries where LOTS of people still have no homes found for them. Clearly it's unfortunate but understandable.
    2
  374.  @garmbryhewwert7059  Er no. Hence the massive homing scheme as well. But what no one wants is more people than they can physically find a home a roof for.
    2
  375. What?? This is important. A bar of soap is better anyway. And the WHO is useless.
    2
  376. What?? Britain's are essentially "European". EU and Europe two different things buddy. Lol
    2
  377.  @lizstubbs2969  And going by the bad reviews. Those running the joint probably haven't properly gone after PPE. Probably haven't even rang up the Governments hotline.
    2
  378.  dh H  https://www.cqc.org.uk/location/1-968901596 There is this, could be telling that the part they somewhat fail on is 'well-led'. No green light there. The people who run the place are probably just as much to blame if not more than anyone else regarding any PPE issues. They probably haven't gone after it properly as I said previously.
    2
  379. There are far better articles out there to read if one really wants to read about what the best hand sanitisers are. Far more qualified people have written them than those who work for the dodgy WHO.
    2
  380. So essentially it may have gone something like 87, 70, 85, in the last 3 days. Bad, but stable at least. I notice the deputy medical officer said their are signs that the tighter restrictions are starting to bite. Here's hoping. By the way the 87 was a true figure they changed the pattern after that day.
    2
  381.  @mikee7406  Ain't they all. The only difference is different MPs are slippery in different ways to each other. Most people know it. But look to what actually gets done over a period of time.
    2
  382. Lol Many, many, many have tried over history. All failed. Any Major wars now would be, lose, lose, all round because of nukes.
    2
  383. Change the law ASAP Boris. Those echr Judges are petty little numbskulls.
    2
  384.  john lewis  It makes a nice change from the attitude of some that every single thing bad that happens on the planet is Boris fault.
    2
  385.  @84beatles  Well they could be deciding whether Coronavirus was the primary cause of death or not. In other words judging who would have died shortly anyway of their current underlying condition. May be for some of those infected Coronavirus doesn't get put as the primary cause of death. Who knows. But it would be a way of making the numbers lower.
    2
  386. Erm Bosses sack the employees. Time to sack all who arranged the parties..
    2
  387. He knows. Meaning Boris. Boris delivers that line with a sarcastic tone in his voice.
    2
  388.  @lenawagenfuehr53  ECHR. As I said. What I said previously stands either way.
    2
  389.  @candyman5912  No they wouldn't. Not completely. Also some have been interviewed and funny enough they knew about the Savile stuff and believe it long before Boris mentioned it. These people anti-vaxxers etc hate Boris as well as Starmer. They don't follow what he says. They don't follow him.
    2
  390. Italy or Spain had 971. But now we are getting like Sky its not a death race competition.
    2
  391. Better to just have the vid without the numpty that is Jon Craig talking crap as per.
    2
  392. Because most days of the week for the last 2 weeks now, maybe 3. Have had far lower numbers than the prior 5 or 6 weeks.
    2
  393. So now it's a year round since the virus started. China have decided to tell us they now have a few more cases. How convenient. After pretending it's been under almost complete control for months and months.
    2
  394. Sturgeon the second he is. I'm supposed to be in charge here But once again more, more please Westminster...
    2
  395. Oh short memories many people. St Angie she is already. Crazy state of affairs.
    2
  396. Just seen an article that says lawmaker breaks the law. Boris isn't a lawmaker per se. HOC is. If they don't go through they don't get to be laws. Journalism rally is crap these days. D
    2
  397.  @cathlaurs9754  Really. Look up the figures. Enough were traced to make a substantial difference. Remember the system was pretty much built from scratch. This Country has never had the kind of infrastructure needed already in place. Unlike some other Countries. All of that obviously makes a difference.
    2
  398. This guys long spiel of an answer to one question yesterday at the press conference wasn't as subtle as he thought. Clearly trying to discredit SA Doctors. Not a good look.
    2
  399. Blindness isn't a symptom of Coronvirus, so all is good for now at least. :D
    2
  400. If this Italian expert is so clever how come he couldn't stop Italy sadly losing another 919 people today the highest number up to now. Doesn't he advise the Italian Government.
    2
  401. The most important part of The Speech was the cutting Red Tape part. In order to speed up various things. The levels of Red Tape in this Country is ridiculous! Many Governments have promised to do this but have failed. Let's hope Boris and Rishi can actually make it happen. Leaving the EU will also help with some of this.
    2
  402. Why did Beth mention Sunbathing in today's briefing. No minister has mentioned it. Stop stirring the pot and stating something some newspapers made up. Some newspapers have been very irresponsible talking about what they THINK Boris is going to say. Just bloody wait!!
    2
  403. Woah those sanctions must be legally watertight big time! With the clout and money and lawyers this guy has.
    2
  404. People are falling for EU propaganda. How come independent bodies. JCVI. European medicines agency. And WHO. Are continuing to all say that the vaccine is excellent and safe.
    2
  405. Or more likely he thinks the whole thing is over-the-top an ridiculous. As do many of the public. There was no "partying" what Boris has been described as doing was not a "party" by any stretch. Many believe the Police are wrong. Wouldn't be the first time.
    2
  406.  @barryboom717  The experts are impartial are they not.
    2
  407. 12, 000. Yeah sure. Add 20% to the Hospital figure.
    2
  408. Don't be daft. 7 days tomorrow I think. Plenty? Its the minimum according to the guidelines.
    2
  409. So no Country is doing perfect in this unprecedented situation. Tell me something I don't know. A Spanish Doctor was saying just the same things today about Spain's health service. If some nurses haven't got the right gear the senior staff around should tell them they can't care for people with Coronavirus. Those who have the gear will have to do it. Plenty have been delivered according to numerous NHS sources.
    2
  410. Well rejoining the EU is getting closer. Labour and Lib coordinated tactical plans are working so far. Although I think a lot of tory voters just aren't voting at all right now. Come a GE the game would be a different one. Much harder to employ tactics. When far more people vote.
    2
  411.  @Bryan-Paul  And Brexit will still cut-through. Because Starmer fence-sits on that as well. Trying not to say anything concrete either way. The fear of a lab and lib coalition will also cut-through.
    2
  412. Only a dumbarse would go to Italy right now. Just don't go.
    2
  413. Unlucky for them and others it doesn't work on the masses. Otherwise Boris wouldn't have won an 80 seat majority. And brexit wouldn't have been won, and got over the line.
    2
  414.  @MrKatzengreis  Russian role in Brexit that's just remoaner talk.
    2
  415. Spot on. That's the aim at least.
    2
  416. If Boris doesn't succeed in honouring the vote by the 31st of October. Then sure. Among the settlers they can send a few lovely and vibrant American ladies. :D
    2
  417. Sky News with these graphs looking at excess deaths they do not factor in the differences between the populations themselves! That matters even for an excess death count. Each individuals Countries make up has to be compared as well. For example, average age, population density, ethnic mix, all will have an effect on overall death rates. These kinds of things need to be kept in mind when comparing nations. And I've just read that France states that their excess death figures are not at all accurate at present! It won't be until June before they are accurate. Our ONS is far more accurate than other systems across Europe. That has to come into this as well.
    2
  418.  @andylane247  Biden? More chat regarding dementia has long been aimed at Biden.
    2
  419. @GoVir4l Both were an expected finding both issues have been spoken about for a while now. Lots of factors are no doubt at play here some of which are quite obvious and they have been mentioned today. Actually it could be said that the male and female difference is more of a mystery, and harder to come up with reasons for.
    2
  420. Regarding the apparent sudden increase in numbers in the last few days. If people have actually listened over the past week or so they've always said they were on track to where they expected to be. Clearly the plan was for the last few days of the month to be at the point when things could increase dramatically! Its called building your foundations first! Use your head people.
    2
  421.  @paraponon  Spot on.
    2
  422. Corbyn did an absolutely crap job of that.
    2
  423. The key workers who are probably paying your wages right now, have been to work all along.
    2
  424.  @gbjanuary  If that happens. How is that even relevant to my earlier point. People should now start working again if their company has set themselves up to be as safe as possible. Because it is a fact key workers have been working all along, paying taxes.
    2
  425.  @JC-jr3bn  I know. I've read about his lawyer backrgound and grave mistakes so I wouldn't count on that.
    2
  426. It is strange. I guess normally these apparently oh so concerned journalists wouldn't think twice about our cares homes. How they are run(many by private companies). And exactly how many deaths occur.
    2
  427. Very sad news. But remember the predicted figures from various experts a number of weeks ago. Ranged from 20, 000 to 500,000.
    2
  428.  @jamiemclennan7184  If that ever happens. Up for Scotland joining the EU?
    2
  429. By most downing street would be classed as predominantly a place of work. He wouldn't have had proper rest and recovery there. He went straight from Hospital to Chequers that was fine in my book. And the right move.
    2
  430. Numbers, statistics and graphs will mean much more in 4 to 6 months. Right now its tough to compare Countries. Especially those 5 or 6 currently hardest hit ones. There's so many caveats in play right now.
    2
  431. That footage of Kay certainly wasn't heat of the moment. SN never let people forget about the PM. I'll return the favour. :D
    2
  432. Tbh it's the job they signed up for. A job where an emergency can come along. Such as a pandemic. No different to a person in the Forces. A War may come along.
    2
  433.  @allanchurm  Not heard that. IF true. Erm those two need to find out what the others views are. Hopefully no more than 6 would attend. It would also need to be classed as a business meeting. Sounds a false story to me.
    2
  434. Yep its getting more and more suspicious by the minute. Look who the Countries are that are getting hit so very hard. There's only around 8 or so.
    2
  435.  @mypointofview1111  He made fair and legitimate points in my view. Funny how different people can see things so very differently.
    2
  436. Really? Beth Rigby is higher up the list. lol
    2
  437. Brilliant sarcasm.
    2
  438. Fact is a lot of people well-known people and otherwise did not 100% follow rules and laws over the last 2 years. Let's not pretend here.
    2
  439. And.. yes.. that's the point. It means No Deal. Boris is enjoying playing semantics with the EU.
    2
  440.  @ouicertes9764  There was no such promise. But it's certainly been easier than the prior 3 years or so when he wasn't in charge. When he wasn't PM.
    2
  441. Yes. Sack those who arranged parties... And why is no one talking about where the info is coming from. The media are probably getting the info from someone who was there partying themselves. Probably a certain Cummings.
    2
  442. Oh God another Labour activist in disguise as an "expert". Earlier today I read what this person had to say for themselves.It's annoying hearing these people say what isn't being done.When most of what they mention is occurring. These political "experts" need to go away. In fact the media need to stop having so many different "experts" on.
    2
  443. Its available. Today for instance in England of those who died all had some kind of underlying condition. Apart from 4. Those 4 were aged 82 to 91.
    2
  444. That Blair was as honest as they come.
    2
  445. The Lockdown should have been done before China even told the rest of the World about the virus. Only then would it have made a substantial difference. Does this guy have a pop at the Italian Government as well? Don't have time to listen right now. Also its far too early for any expert to say who did 'best' and 'worst' in this crisis. There are so many caveats to take into account as well, its very difficult to compare Countries to one another.
    2
  446. This must vary widely across the Country. Its like a ghost town here in East Anglia. The parts I've seen. And the shots taken by the local news.
    2
  447. We can't say whether it looked like a "party" at the time Boris walked into the garden. We Weren't there. Maybe people looked bored. And the party had barely got started when he was around. Who knows. Same goes for Starmer. Although his shindig looked more lively in the photos. haha
    2
  448.  @grahamsclater9988  "They" a World conspiracy then? Many Countries are locked down again right now.
    2
  449. I wonder why an ever changing unprecedented situation created U turns. Over that year. Why do think many experts had varying opinions to each other. The same reason why the Government had to chop and change along the way. The unprecedented situation. And no one had a crystal ball.
    2
  450.  @nedmckinlay9106  Bending the truth happened on both sides. Many people got a little over-excited goading each other. I also think sometimes the general population aren't given enough credit, many people will have looked into the situation themselves. And then made up their own minds.
    2
  451. So the figures for care homes are 27% of the total deaths numbers occurred in care homes in the UK. But in Spain, France, Italy, almost half of their deaths occurred in care homes. We've done well then. Why is no news outlet reporting this.
    2
  452.  @vanessachurst7031  Then they should ring the hotline and explain their specific situation. It doesn't sound like anyone is. Because the Government keep mentioning it.
    2
  453. Yes classic Sky News get on whoever fancies bashing the Government big time. Classic Sky News nowadays at least. Deffo got worse.
    2
  454.  @DavidKnowles0  Really. The speed of decreasing is gathering pace each week. A very recent report also has stated that some experts predict huge Hospital admission drops and death drops in March. There will be some exits by the end of March early April is my prediction. Time will tell though. Excluding schools of cause something will happen there March 8th.
    2
  455.  @martinwest7250  Don't hide your bot identity. Martin West AKA Diane Abbot.
    2
  456. Well if the media generally didn't keep talking about numbers who had/has the most deaths etc every single day. Then may be people wouldn't need explain the caveats involved.
    2
  457.  @MrUnclepauly78  True. But the weekend figures recently are 'better' than they've been for 5 or 6 weeks still.
    2
  458. @Lee TV 1,600 people die on average every day of the year. One question no one seems to address or attempt to answer is why out of 200 Countries have only about 6 Countries been hit very hard. No way have all those other 194 Countries just done far better than those 6. There is clearly far more to it.
    2
  459. Cheerful Charlie Sky News. Fortune tellers. The really clever thing would to have been regularly warning of these threats before this pandemic occurred. Maybe if that happened Countries around the World would have prepared better. No good going on and on after a pandemic has occurred. That's called doing a Mr Hindsight.
    2
  460. Now Boris has got the EU to go down the SWIFT route. When the other day some EU Countries did not want that at all. The Clown is a genius. :D Never right this guy off.
    2
  461. The fact that it is only around 8 to 10 Countries in the World who are currently getting hit very hard needs to be talked about. Pretty much all the other Countries in the World are getting off light so to speak. No one talks about this. It might make an interesting discussion.
    2
  462. Opposition can SAY anything they like. It's easy. And Labour are famous every single time for leaving the economy in a worst state after they've been in power.
    2
  463. The burning question is how many people do other track and trace systems in the World reach? Ones that aren't mandatory. I bet our statistics are good in comparison.
    2
  464. How many died with and how many died of.
    2
  465. This is pedantic. But I'm wondering why several other sources say 181 and Sky News say 185. I've noticed their daily figures usually say a few more than other sources.
    2
  466. The title of this video should be. 'Day 1168, remoaners still crying sour grapes'
    2
  467. There's only around 8 to 10 Countries in the World who've been hit hard! The list is quite telling. And strange.
    2
  468.  @Paul_C  Err the UK ONS is the most accurate data collection source on the planet. Our figures official and independent, are now as accurate as anywhere else on the planet.
    2
  469.  @chrismurphy6070  Most during an unprecedented pandemic. Experts were also U-turning such as on masks for example. They disagreed with each other on many things in fact. So what hope did anyone else have. Also it should be a lot easier for opposition to be decisive and yet Starmer isn't good at it he's not very consistent.
    2
  470. VE day thank god for it, for many a reason! One reason is the news and media haven't been full of covid stuff 24/7 as normal. Its been a relief for many people. Most people aren't stupid they already know by now what they have to do when it comes to this virus. 24hrs of continuous negative covid stuff actually doesn't help. I believe it hinders. People need to hear different stuff from time to time.
    2
  471. I forgot to add Starmer is not only Mr Hindsight he's Mr selective!
    2
  472. Yep Mr Terrorist sympathiser is a World renowned expert.Italy and Spain could also have done with his insight and intellect. Yeah right! lol

    2
  475. And so have the other 4 or 5 Countries that have been hit the hardest. However it seems strange that there aren't that many hard hit Countries in the World! A lot of liars out there may be.

  476. Yes they do. Its covered by the 'other settings' part.

  479. Absolute crap. Completely unfair to the people who live in that area. There needs to be a by-election. This is like all those who voted tory at that GE in that area being rung up and told we've just defected your vote elsewhere. Clearly it has to be illegal in one way or another.

  482. What? Trump didn't even let Starmer have a turn at picking journalists to answer questions. When he was with Boris they took turns. Trump just did the very basics, nothing genuine or friendly. Nothing meaningful and concrete was actually said. Or committed to.

  485. Germany is changing their testing to mirror our set-up. And several Countries have sent test kits back to China saying they're faulty. SO this testing lark for this NEW virus is obviously not as simple as some people seem to imagine.
    1
  486.  @FireboyHDGaming  They are the only place on the planet I think who add deaths of people who they GUESS have died of/with coronavirus to their official death tolls. It's those who haven't even had a test. Other Countries add these figures or estimate these figures on occasions. But they haven't added them daily, like Belgium apparently do.

  489. Indeed.
    1
  490.  @daftirishmarej1827  All Countries that have been hit very hard which incidentally is only around 8 to 10 Countries have made mistakes. With the possible exception of Germany. But their figures maybe look better than they actually are. There's an article on the Sky News website talking about this.

  493. The media and press have messed up more than the Government ever could. They just cannot stfu for a minute during this long crisis. The way they report alone creates mixed messages and confusion. If there's going to be a public inquiry into the Government and this crisis generally at a later date. There also needs to be one into the media and press discussing how they contribute towards hindering authorities statements and messages.
    1
  494. One person guessed that, came up with that figure. At a very early time. Before much AT ALL was known about this virus. Several people at that time also came out with different figures, some much higher than 20,000.

  495.  @sdrest  Kenny hey. Back when people and society generally had a good SOH.

  496. This bullshit has been going on for some time now. Don't ever believe the Unions are for the "working man" anymore. In fact they are more greedy than the tories. Nothing worse than those pretending to be a common average man in the street. When they are far from that! Labour cannot use the we are for the common average man angle anymore. It doesn't wash. Unions and Labour remind me of those celebrities who try and pretend that they aren't extremely well-off.

  497. Not so many were witch hunting her up there. That's how she got away with all that. MSM don't scrutinize her much at all either.
    1
  498. That's not how it happened. Central Government never said mix them. No minister said that. Number 10 didn't say that. PHE said it. They said they can be mixed. But the media exaggerated that to they can be mixed all the time. PHE said they can be mixed on specific/rare occasions.They are still saying this.

  499. @Scott WHO used to love recommending lockdowns for a long time. Then they changed that not so long ago. Ultimately no one really seems to know what's best. People are split everywhere. Many experts have very differing opinions.
    1
  500. @Scott It's not only here. Where lockdowns still occur. Look at Europe. Why aren't they following WHO recommendations these days. And how did WHO get it wrong for so long about lockdowns. Maybe because of that several Countries think they were wrong to change their advice after all that time. Tier systems are more common than lockdowns here in the UK these days. Especially in England. Ultimately imo a big problem that has become worse and worse throughout this pandemic. Is the sheer amount of differing views and opinions we hear, day in, day out. We hear too many varying opinions and views. Coming at us from all angles. That's a mindfuck. It creates it's own problems. Too much info, too much varying info comes our way. From too many different people and sources.

  506.  @iasked3371  No. Do some research.
    1
  507.  @iasked3371  Actually we are all wrong. "Lockdown" technically ended 10th May. Clearly "restrictions" were still in place that's clearly always been the case throughout. There is a difference between "restrictions". And the "lockdowns" "Full lockdowns". Stay at home orders. And the like.
    1
  508.  @MukeshKumar-jo3jl  There was an effect. "Lockdowns" always bring down the figures. That can't be denied. The time it takes can just vary.

  520. Well I mean if we are all held prisoner here in the UK forever. No travel of any kind. And we lockdown here in the UK forever. With just very essential things still going. Then cases will be very minimal indeed. If not this will be the norm. We have to get used to living alongside this. The news surely can't keep reporting every minute detail. Are they going to do this forever.

  525.  @enragedares5992  He could have just misspoke. Guess what humans do that. They aren't perfect. Besides, actually if not now, then soon. There will be more vaccinated in Hospital than unvaccinated. Because no vaccine is 100% perfect. Those who are most likely to need Hospital due to covid are still the double jabbed. Most of them are still the most likely to need Hospital regardless. The most vulnerable. Same thing happens with flu jabs. However without vaccines a LOT more of those people would need Hospital have severe illness/or die though.

  528.  @noah.6181  I think some people don't realise the amount firepower of all kinds that America has. Way more than anyone else. They need to realise it though. Combing all of that firepower with a different kind of POTUS a POTUS who doesn't piss about means it won't end well for the opposition. That's just the reality of it.
    1
  529.  @noah.6181  Very true buddy. I actually agree. I'm British, American's fight is our fight. But for now, we are being a tad more diplomatic. But for sure I don't expect Trump to behave very diplomatically when him and America are being threatened in this way.

  530. I heard some plonker state on the radio last night we should have a 12 month lockdown now. Sadly there are a few nutters like that round. They expect/want 12 month furlough I bet. And to sit on their lazy arse all day.

  535. He doesn't appear like someone who's about to lose. Lose their job. Interesting how Cummings is not going to be interviewed face-to-face by Sue Gray. Just providing a written account. Well it's much easier to lie. Manipulate the truth. Twist the truth. In a letter. Than face-to-face when eye contact body language are involved. I think Cummings is going lose this very bitter vengeful battle now. I suspect Boris has things on him that Tory ministers and MPs are now seeing. It's funny how even David Davis who said Boris must go the other day. But now is saying he'll wait for Sue Gray inquiry and that he likes Boris etc

  537. Today's numbers are somewhat false. Due to there being a 36hr gap rather than 24hr. Terribly sad still but it probably wouldn't have been a rise of 113 if it wasn't for this longer amount of time between updates. I noticed yesterday when the number was 43 how the news outlets didn't say much about that figure last night. They seem to get more hyped the higher the number almost as if they enjoy it.

They've been wrong far more often than they've been right. Their predictions made before they have any real clue at all. Really aren't helpful. In fact they are quite dangerous.

  548.  @danieljwebb  Not impossible. In one way or another. Remember the 4 years of immense effort trying to stop a democratic vote being honored. Those same kind of people don't mind years of effort all over again. All of that will be enough for Brexit to cut-through for a lot of people come a GE. And Starmer being an ultimate fence-sitter tries very hard not to say anything concrete either way regarding the issue.
    1
  549. We now have the most accurate figures on the planet. Due to ONS and the like. Let's hope all other Countries step up to the mark. And add all care home and all settings deaths. Do other Countries even have an ONS equivalent.

The lockdown rules were and are no different in terms of them having caveats like most rules do. Cummings reasoning was clearly one of those exceptions and fair enough.

  565. Yep they have just 34 I think. I'm pretty sure the PM of Ireland suffers from premature ejaculation. He's gone way too early. It will do more harm than good.

  566. Sturgeon doesn't accept responsibility. We all know what she got away with. Blackford like Starmer is just another hypocrite most of the public can see-through that. All Politicians are the same in these ways. Boris gets stuff done though. People don't put honesty and integrity anywhere near the top of the their list when it comes to deciding whom they want in power. Many other things help them decide.

  567.  @isitfashion  Some people on radio shows here in the UK are now starting to claim they had it back in December. Before the World was told about it. They are convinced. I'm not sure I believe China's date of mid November when this virus started. I suspect its been spreading slowly around the World a while before that. May even have mutated along the way into a more potent form.
    1
  568. Isolation and lockdowns haven't particularly worked anywhere in Europe. Not Spain, Italy, UK, France. Possibly it has in Germany. But are their figures just luck so far, or do they record deaths differently. There was a rumour on that at one point. Bottom line I believe this thing was circulating in Europe before we even heard of it. So no wonder we are where we are.

  572.  @pip1723  What's his specialist area? Carl Heneghan would take him to the cleaners.
    1
  573.  @pip1723  Because Vallance and SAGE won't allow it I suspect. A fair few actual experts in the right specific areas aren't in SAGE. Don't advise the Government and don't tend to be asked to appear on BBC and SN. The majority of SAGE are behavioural experts.
    1
  574.  @dave4803  Not sure anyone who could get into power will do anything about it. Starmer for example will let everyone into the UK no matter what. He'll have no real intention to do anything about the crossings.
    1
  575.  @groovydonkey  Yeah and who else would do better. No one who could actually get the top job. No one such as UKIP etc are going to get into power. Won't be happening.

  576. The clown got Brexit over the line. The clown is getting on with what people voted for. If the EU can't be fair. It's going to be No Deal. They won't mug this clown off. The clown won an 80 seat majority. The clown was voted London Mayor twice. Tough gig for a Tory to get. Yep his hair style and look really matter. It's really got in the way of this clowns wins! ;)

  577. Another 1.6 millions tests. Now give me a rundown of how many tests Countries across Europe do and then multiply their infection numbers by how much more tests the UK does than them in percentage terms.

  585.  @jjefferyworboys8138  The Police one would take precedence. They are the experts and have the tech to make sure everything set down as evidence is 100% factual. Most people would judge by that. Not what Sue Gray has been sent. People just send her stuff and she automatoically states it as gospel. That's how it seems.

  586.  Daniel McGrath  February, I don't think anyone was doing much in February. Apart from China obviously. Its a pity they told the World about it some time after they knew about it. It wasn't even given its name covid19 until February 11th.

    1
  596.  @danielasantini5701  A month. Might have worked. But whether we like it or not. People struggle to stay in serious lockdown for very long periods of time. I guess Governments try to take that into consideration. This crisis is also very difficult for anyone involved in making big decisions. Who would want to be in charge right now, hey.

  600. They are. However I suspect(I'm not the only one) Germany aren't adding these types of deaths as covid. Even when they are positive for covid of course.
    1
  601. This idiot wanted to takeover as caretaker PM just the other day. He'll pull any trick in the book to be PM. That's all he's interested in. He's not interested in delivering Brexit, he never has been! He's so pissed that Boris has the balls to pull his own tricks. They don't like it up 'em.
    1
  602.  Sundar Seine Mudda  Vaccine programme was about to get going when Trump was out of office. Didn't he start that ball rolling though. Clearly no on can judge how that would have worked out if Trump was still in power. Probably just the same. Like I say Trump was out in January. Basically no on in the World was vaccinating in a big way back then.

That's what PHE are^ Stop saying it's Government this, Government that all the time. It's not helpful. Report facts more often. Question the logic of PHE directly. I'm shocked that much of the media don't know how PHE works. Or may be it just doesn't suit agendas.

  605. The numpty that is Jeremy Hunt came up with PHE. What a plank. They are useless.

  610.  @jason88580  So if that were the case what controlled it for a few months last, June, July, August, September. Before vaccines. Also when a virus like this is kicking off big time in any Country only a complete plonker would travel anyway unless absolutely essential.
    1
  611.  @asimov1123  So why have pictures on the news over recent times of airports shown them looking empty...
    1
  612. That was clearly the most optimistic figure mentioned nearly 5 weeks ago. Some mentioned figures of 500,000. Considering the range of numbers mentioned by experts several weeks ago. Sadly 30,000 would still be a 'good' outcome.
    1
  613. Good lord. That'll be too completed for most journalists and some on here. lol
    1
  614. @Stonehaven It is. Look it up. Many sources say its true. Including Public Health England.
    1
  615. @Stonehaven Public Health England know UK figures better than anyone. The Uk figures shown yesterday were just covering an 8 hour period. Today's were covering a 40 hour period. That's why yesterday said 43 deaths and today 113.
    1
  616. @Stonehaven No one said its going down. Its been steady the last few days that's all. None of the 8 to 10 worst hit Countries are going down overall. Yet.
    1
  617. @Stonehaven By the way Public Health England have changedthe time of day they collate the figures. That's why it went like 8hrs and the 40hr. Tomorrow will be back to a straight 24hr time frame.
    1
  618. IF all is correct here. A pretty simple conclusion really Trump wasn't a lockdown fanatic. He went against experts. It payed off in economic terms.
    1
  619.  @afgor1088  Maybe. But broadly speaking those worst hit economically have generally had the most stringent lockdowns, the longest lockdowns, the most lockdowns. Juts seems obvious really. Clearly that is going to occur in most cases.
    1
  620. What is Nandy on about. Many Countries were unfortunately unprepared back then... And as for stepping up. We have been doing just that. We are among just a few Countries who have stepped up so far.
    1
  621. What on earth is this guy on about. Some Scientists are now starting to say that the vaccine may well be starting to show some signs of having an effect. I saw a figure that stated that over 80s being admitted into Hospital is down 31%.Why is his guy behaving as though he's completely right in what he says. No one is that when it comes to these things.
    1
  622. Aggressive. Like what. He's joking right. I'd like to hear one of those so called aggressive threatening statements he mentions.
    1
  623. He created the quite useless PHE. Who have operational autonomy. That was a mistake.
    1
  624. Two things not mentioned here. Government decisions regarding variants and border measures take into consideration in a big way whether a variant has been designated a variant under investigation, or one of concern. The experts only designated the Indian variant one of concern a short time ago. This poses the question should PHE and other experts tell the Government to put Countries onto a red list before they've fully investigated a variant. And named it one of concern. The other thing is now that we have vaccines which obviously we didn't have before. Hospitalizations and deaths should now be largely negated. There is now far less need to panic about variants and infection numbers unless Hospitalizations and deaths do start going up a fair amount.
    1
  625.  @garethhanby  Way behind Germany and Spain to a degree. Not significantly behind anyone else in Europe. Only massive contact, track and trace would have helped in any major way. Only places like South Korea could do that from pretty much the get-go. The infrastructure was already there.

  628. They do in my Nan's care home. They have been for a while now. There are thousand and thousands of care home settings in this Country. News will never report from any well run ones with PPE etc Of which there are probably many, probably the majority now. That's not what media do.
    1
  629.  @eliotmcnamara3190  I personally know many. Because the rules were so ridiculous and often extreme. Not that it's all Boris fault. Clearly the rules came form the minds of SAGE, Whitty, behavioural experts etc No MP can say things such as people weren't allowed to see dying loved ones. Because they all voted for such things. They are hypocritical when they do they are working in hindsight. Opposition, Doctors, Nurses, BMA and others should have strongly opposed that kind of extreme measure. But hey they didn't and it all went through the HOC.

  633.  @d3v1lbud  lol
    1
  634. It ranged from 20,000 to 510,000. Remember that 20,000 was long ago, a wild guess. Way before they knew basically anything at all about how the virus works.

  636.  @Bryan-Paul  Started saying it. It's not very official He doesn't say much one way or another. His precise stance and Brexit ideas and thoughts aren't very clear or concrete at all. I'm sure that's how many feel. I feel that way.
    1
  637. Dear old Boris. Lefty media outlets. And opposition. Been trying very hard over this upcoming election time. Faux outrage. Set-ups. Wild accusations. They just can't hold Boris down on the canvas. They can't get him no matter how hard they try. Finding out he's incredibly resilient.

  638.  @flashtheoriginal  Has America done any Russian flight banning yet. I'm not sure.
    1
  639.  @timonsolus  Cool. A lot of news to keep up with all over. Tbf with most things done against Russia NATO Countries more or less do it at the same time same day at least. Joint announcements and statements been a few of those. Also EU, UK, USA more or less follow the same path. All works best that way as well. Creates the most impact.
    1
  640.  @timonsolus  Well so called Russia money laundering has been going on since the 90s. Not only when tories were in power. Also vast majority of Russian business in London has been done legitimately. Acording to various articles that I've read.

  641. The sudden acceleration of this virus caught a lot of people off guard. It appeared to start very slowly. But suddenly cases and people dying rose very rapidly.

  646. A good liar yet I can see Starmer is incredibly insincere. And he's trying to influence the Police and the investigation.
    1
  647. It's quite simple to deduce that as some experts say and the SA Doctors that Omicron is mild/milder. One way is look at ICU UK has less people and a lot less in people in ICU than, Germany, France, Spain and Italy. We have lots of Omicron. They still have lots of Delta.
    1
  648.  @Natastrophe007  Indeed.
    1
  649. No one wants to be seen as the one who stopped talking. At least Boris is still saying the same things such as talking about WTO terms. I pick up no giving an inch on his part right now. If anything reading between the lines. The EU may have backed down some. May be the interviews BO JO has done over the last few days. And what he's been saying has hit home to the EU. Our No deal Prep. And the many trade deals that we've been doing with others around the World. All may have hit home. Plus it seems that Macron may be now starting to back down regarding his ridiculous fishing demands.

  654. @GoVir4l One reason, sure. Not the only possible reason for the differences. I've seen a few possible explanations put out there. Apparently covid19 has killed a lot people who had preexisting hypertension. According to what I've read some ethnic groups have a greater predisposition towards hypertension. Higher percentages of them have hypertension and at younger ages. Than Caucasians. May be that is one factor. And that factor is obviously no fault of anyone. Its nature. Just how things are. But for sure a number of reasons are going to come into this. Some are pretty damn obvious though.
    1
  655. Regardless of damage or not. Nothing anyone can do about it now. So why not just get on with things as a collective and stop the Political squabbling and games that have progressively became worse in the last week or two! Cummimgs can only go if he resigns which isn't happening or Boris sacks him. Boris doesn't have to face a GE for years! So this vid is pretty pointless really.
    1
  656. SN reuploaded this vid and obviously many comments now wiped. Lol Guess they didn't like many of them. So unbelievably bias.

  657. From Macron is more likely. Apparently that is starting to occur. I wouldn't be surprised if this goes No Deal 11pm on the 31st though. I can see the clock just getting run down.

  658.  @finlayt3560  I know. I was kinda jesting. But he still has more ability than the current Labour MPs by some margin.
    1
  659. A lot of people aren't looking at the whole picture. For example sure Boris signs stuff off. But what kind of idiot advised be it a medical person or whomever that people should not be allowed to see dying loved ones. I want that person/s removed from their post. Boris did not think up most of these rules and laws himself. I'm pretty sure Whitty and Vallance came up with many of them.

  665.  @michaelwills1818  Very bitter people tend to lie/and twist situations. Also he's a massive hypocrite. If he exposed the "parties" a long time ago. He'd deserve some credit. Clearly he has no integrity. And didn't expose any "parties" at the time. When he was no doubt attending them.
    1
  666.  @gabagool_ovahere  So smart. The guy who said the drive to the castle was to test his eyes. And what evidence exactly though has he provided? We have one picture of Boris himself. Outside, without a beer in hand. Unlike someone else who had a beer in hand and whom was indoors.

  668. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-57150871 Or an alternative view. From the sensible clearly impartial experts. I'm not a huge fan of the BBC. Yourselves and the BBC generally have a lot in common. However Nick Triggle is the best person on the BBC News. He's the one person who comes across as impartial. Deals with the facts.

  670. Talks are happening aren't they. More like talks. Where Putin will say oh they failed. Trying to put across a situation of hey at least I tried.
    1
  671. Putin set up humanitarian corridors and has set up talks between Russia and Ukraine. But the effort going towards these things actually working is I estimate about 10%. It's all essentially just a smokescreen.
    1
  672. This guy needs to shut up and stop stirring. People who he wants in charge are never going to get the top job. Either he shut up. Or join the Labour party because if he wants to be in power next GE he's making it more likely Starmer gets into power. If he carries on this way.
    1
  673. Haven't watched this. But if he said what the title says. He's right. Play it by ear situation. The Labour leader needs to get that. So does most of the media.

  674.  @philking7505  So do/did many people. Maybe he was decent at his job. But now he's very bitter vengeful.
    1
  675.  @steveelwick8096  Hmm hopefully not. I think SAGE are dumped now. Better late than never. But I think people need to remember it's not as if anyone else who could gain power would do or would have done any better. Labour for example backed every single measure no matter how extreme. And in fact wanted more at times.
    1
  676.  @jamesirvine7268  It goes deeper though. Ask yourself who made up the rules and the more extreme rules. Who thought them up. Not Boris I bet. Who backed them. Well the whole of Parliament. And who wanted even more.
    1
  677. Want a beer at work mate?? Head of the CPS buck stops at the top mate. Right? I mean they are your words regarding Boris. Starmer is a hypocrite. He puts together a good sob story defence Lawyers are good at that. Getting people off or lighter sentences.
    1
  678.  @Astrolavista  Happy... Strange thing to take away from that. If anything Starmer looked happy... He loves being a pretend PM. I'm sure past leaders of the opposition didn't do big speeches as often as he does. During a crisis etc
    1
  679. @nigwasme This flippant view^ That quite a few have now tbf. Is probably because there aren't too many people left in the UK who know how the Ukraine people are feeling right now. Clearly only people around mid 90s and older know that feeling.
    1
  680. They've looked at it. And I bet it's full of doctored pictures, photoshopped etc And dodgy looking "evidence". Sent in by Cummings. I notice he seems to have shut up now.
    1
  681. So the guy who helped Boris into number 10.Says it was a terrible choice between Corbyn and Boris. And that Boris is a terrible leader. And yet he chose to work for Boris for years. Yeah ok. Cumming's is full of it.

Far as I know none of that was against the rules.The police need to publicly explain more. Then explain why Beer Starmer and Sturgeon are different. Rules are rules right. If indeed they were the rules.

  686. A great Leader superb leadership skills has Starmer. Clearly not many recognised them when he got smashed in the last GE.

  688.  @lonewarrior6633  msm over recent years most newspapers also. Love Labour/ardent lefties/WOKE whatever. Just how it is. Unlucky for them many of the public still think for themselves draw their own views and opinions and have other ideas about things.

  713. The guy can't even protect UK citizens effectively. Let alone anyone else in the world. Also I thought we were in very serious debt. 22 billion black hole for starters. Lets face it he's only doing this because of Boris long term stance on Ukraine. It's a game. Even Boris didn't go as far as uk troops on the ground in Ukraine though.

  722.  @chrismurphy6070  Furlough. Forgot that? It cost a bomb. PPE was needed the global demand was HUGE. And clearly there wasn't always the time to dot all the i's and cross all the t's. Labour actually wanted it faster faster faster. They didn't care how it was achieved at the time.

  724. Ireland has gone too early. With this move! An expert on Sky News just now said it is bad to go too early. Just as it also is to go too late. I bet it will cause all kinds of problems people not being able to get food etc due to extreme panic buying. Financial issues. The potential of bigger spike of cases to come in a couple of weeks or so. Which means that people will have to stay indoors and things will have to stay closed for an even longer period of time.

  736. This bloke being a Labour activist/remainer is a kick in the bollocks for Labour. It will backfire. Are they trying to increase conservatives lead further in the polls or what! lol The bloke should be ashamed of himself he has an ill daughter, and he's more interested in taking time out to play party politics. Remainers are seriously losing the plot. More than ever since Boris became PM. I wonder why, they believe Boris will actually deliver Brexit is why. They never believed that of, May. Their desperation is palpable.

  737. ​ TheMammottGamer  Not sure. If they are on the hit list or not. lol Maybe their ability to make many thousands of testing kits themselves from the start! Helped. It just seems strange to me how the 5 Countries I mention, are getting hit extremely hard like a freight train! Compared to basically everyone else.

  746. That was a very good guest on Sky News a few minutes ago. Another one who says it is a bad thing to take drastic extreme measures too early. Most of the experts that I've listened too have not been slating the way the UK Government have gone about dealing with this Virus so far.

  751. @LuLYaWott They matter but exactly how much right now is hard to call in the UK especially so. Also look at how many people are currently in ICU in the UK. Then compare that to the numbers that are in ICU right now In Germany, Spain, France and Italy for example. They have more and in some cases a lot more in ICU. Yes sure Germany's population is larger than the UK but the others aren't. And even with the size different factored in Germany still has per head more people than the UK in ICU. Now the question is why do those Countries have higher numbers. Is it because they still have far more Delta than Omicron than the likes of the UK. Or are there other reasons. And when I last looked Hospital numbers overall UK compares favorably to those Countries also.

  764. People like Ed Davey talking about loved ones not being able to say goodbye is completely hypocritical. They all voted for such extreme measures in the HOC. These measures were came up with by SAGE Whitty etc And then passed through the HOC. No one tried to stop the more extreme measures at the time. A lot of Captain Hindsight's are around among MPs.
    1
  765.  @josephtaylor1379  If my calculations are correct. They could be wrong. But if correct. 81% negative sounds good. That means around 2 in 10 people are positive. Or 20 in 100.

  768. This guy is very weak. Also stupid. Like those people who claim more people will break rules due to Cumming's. Yes I blame Cumming's for those many people who went to Brighton beach and sunbathed on parks 3 weeks ago! Before it was allowed. lol Although the Cumming's story wasn't out then! The fact is for some reason many UK people cannot manage more than 5 to 6 weeks of lockdown. Things were very quiet out and about during those weeks. But from week 7 many people starting to slack.
    1
  769. I blame some scientists and the media more. They love it. They always find doom and gloom no matter what. A change of Government won't change the attitude of the people I mention. Or the CSO, CMO etc

  771. This guy is stupid. Does he believe he now has all the figures as accurate as they can be from those other Countries? The UK ONS is known to be World leading at collecting data. I heard an expert on the news today say that figures from other Countries will come through in full some time in the future! With the ONS we in the UK are ahead of the game. Ed should do this graph again next year.

  777. A question why has the vaccination programme been so successful. Let's not forget the plans began like a year ago. All those involved in that including Government, Whitehall etc etc Seem to have made the right calls at the right time. I think I can answer that. Most things to do with this pandemic were utter guesswork by Government and experts also. The vaccines though however were different people involved knew the process involved the methodology and likely outcomes. It's all well established. Most things in the pandemic were just pot luck whether they happened to work out ok or otherwise.
    1
  778. There was no herd immunity 'plan'. It was merely put on the table by the scientists. Although it worked out fairly well for Sweden. Compared to us, Spain, Italy and the like. Maybe a shame the PM didn't go the Sweden route. Neil Ferguson who had to resign due to breaking rules was the one who scuppered that. When he produced a model saying 510,000 people would die if we don't go full lockdown.

  779.  @user-bv2pu2jq6z  No the news won't talk much about Sweden.

  780. So well done Labour and a mate at BP who leaked to the media the fact that a handful of BP garages were showing signs of struggling a tad to get fuel. Media went manic on this panic buying commenced! There is no coincidence in the timing it happened last Friday Party Conference started Sunday. Unfortunately for them more people see through this stuff than they would like.
    1
  781.  @stevezodiac491  Generally the case sure. Dr Chris Smith said pretty much this the other day. Omicron will for obvious reasons be a good thing if it turns out to be less deadly. It won't particularly matter how many infections there are if it's mild. In so many words Chris said there's a fair chance it will turn out to be mild.

  782. Journalists appear not realise such common sense and just sad truths.

  784. So that's another 1.7 million people who can get bumped up the supermarket delivery priority list. Get medicines delivered free. And receive statutory sick pay. All because a new algoirthm developed by scientists said YES. Scientist are running much of this crazy world right now.

  785. Well done Boris. Just took 3 days of Boris maneuvers words and pressure.

  786. Actually days ago maybe even a week the UK Scientific guy mentioned this. He said in so many words unfortunately some people who have died with Covid would unfortunately have died shortly anyway. He said it does somewhat have to be factored into the numbers.
    1
  787. I've heard a rumour that Germany report their deaths differently. Maybe they factor in this stuff somehow. Who knows. It would explain their very low death rate compared to the likes of Italy, Spain, UK, France.

  790.  @RandomVideosFirst  Worse time? If the case. Surely that would have been during a hard lockdown. The late December early Jan one 2020 for example. Most of the "parties" are before then.
    1
  791.  @vthomas375  What ifs? Ultimately we wouldn't know either way. Whether or not anything has been doctored. Personally I suspect The Police have noted some suspect looking "evidence" within the Sue Gray report. Let's remember the other day it was reported that she's been sending them some of what she has received. Cummings highly intelligent. So some say. Not as smart as he thinks he is imo. Police now being involved puts a spanner in the works for him. He may well be interviewed at some point. Let's remember he was there in downing street at the time of some of these "parties". Police speaking to him is a different ball game to Sue Gray just basically taking what he sent to her as gospel.

  800. Interesting looking at multiple different youtube channels. Most have a dislike ratio against a full lockdown. Apart from sky news. That is currently just in favour of one. It goes to show the main TV news channels may not have their fingers on the pulse of what the masses really think. BBC and SN TV news channels always push lockdowns. Guests on those channels pretty much throughout the pandemic always want lockdowns.

  806. Scientists ain't the ones making the ultimate decisions. Although it's obvious they try very hard to be heard! SN it's far too early to be making a big deal of what one "expert" "thinks" about the future.

  820.  @Rascularvideos  Well they(much of the media) need to stop pretending that there isn't all kinds of disarray going on over in the EU. Plenty of infighting.
