  1. Don’t even bother to watch this!!!
    156
  2. I couldn’t carry on watching this! It’s so depressing! Lockdown Boris! Complete Lockdown! And please bring in TEST KITS for the people with this virus! Open more hospitals, make more beds available for all those thousands of people who are going to be very seriously ill . Train more doctors and nurses to use ventilators and give us stricter guide lines. No secrets please, be open and honest with the british people, and don’t use us as an experiment with your idea of a herd immunity!!!
    81
  3. Stop all travel for a month, then we will contain it.
    50
  4. Have you noticed they’re all men?????? Mmmmm!!!
    34
  5. Yes, you and with the help of Nigel Farage!
    25
  6. So...we will wait until the spring to celebrate. It will be safer then. It’s more sensible to listen to the scientists and be patient!
    24
  7. Richard Eastman thanks. Sensible advice indeed
    20
  8. Yes! Close the schools for goodness sake!!!!!
    19
  9. Money is not important! The health of people is all that matters and we should stop travelling,
    16
  10. WHO say that Britain doesn’t have the enough facilities to test for the coronavirus!
    15
  11. Who is this bloke trying to kid? Are we that gullible? So he can’t answer how many test kits there are! Did you notice how he slides out of answering the question?
    14
  12. And where’s Ben today?
    14
  13. They’re on top of this “at the moment”!!! I’m not convinced!!
    14
  14. I think we should leave without a deal and negotiate afterwards!!!
    12
  15. I think this bloke talks sense! Why isn’t the government listening?
    10
  16. This sounds great. Bring it on!
    9
  17. Hope he also thanks Nigel!....?
    9
  18. It can’t be a SECOND wave when we haven’t got rid of the FIRST yet!
    9
  19. Nobody should be allowed to take down our statues or deface our monuments. They belong to the British people not to young uneducated yobs!!!! And Sadiq Kahn can follow this statue into the river. If you want to change society, we have a democracy, you can vote for a change, not use violence.
    9
  20. Swey Wayne apparently it can take a year to find a vaccine!
    9
  21. To stop racial bias (if there are witnesses) it would be easier to identify murderers if a complete description was given of them on the news and also photographs put up.
    8
  22. Our country has become unrecognisable!
    8
  23. rubi555550 yes, but what are the plans?
    8
  24. The interviewers don’t look very protected.
    8
  25. How completely nuts!!!!
    8
  26. Jimmy W you’re right. If only countries would do this!
    7
  27. So sad about this 😢💦
    7
  28. Vitamin D deficiency.
    7
  29. So....the risk is...”moderate”? ....
    6
  30. Great to see ya Ben. Take good care of yourself, especially if you go back to China...not my fav place to think about right now!
    6
  31. Not relax the lockdown for a long time yet please!
    5
  32. Amazing woman.
    5
  33. The UK is a bit “on the fence” AGAIN!!!!!
    5
  34. King Henry VIII so true
    5
  35. What has she done to her eye brows?
    5
  36. Just bring back teaching English language in junior schools!
    5
  37. No! This government should have locked down one month earlier not one WEEK earlier. If they’d taken advice from other countries who had this virus under control, like South Korea, Taiwan and New Zealand to name a few, thousands of lives would have been saved! Now he’s asking people to mix and stay overnight, and in doing so he’s ignoring the way this virus spreads. I guess he’s going for the herd immunity idea...but he hasn’t weighed up that 70% of the population will need to catch this virus to make this work , and that means many many more casualties . This prime minister, who sadly, I voted for has so many questions to answer and is responsible for so many unnecessary deaths!
    5
  38. A Canada Plus Trade Deal is what I’ve been waiting for. That’s a good piece of news!
    5
  39. She’s so much like one of the Krankies!
    4
  40. He’s talking rubbish! We in the UK are not over reacting but his country should have listened to those whistle blower doctors who courageously spoke out to try to stop the spread when it was first discovered back in December!
    4
  41. I’m so embarrassed and ashamed! What has happened? Why why why is our country so stupid? All others are far ahead of us...I’m completely fed up with this government and their complete failure to show leadership with regard to this disease! No tracking, tracing, isolation, distancing or mandatory mask wearing. I’m disgusted! What has happened to my country??
    4
  42. A bit late….
    4
  43. Air conditioning on the ship passes viruses around, and I’m surprised passengers were asked to stay on board knowing this.
    4
  44. Suzanne_RCDM ridiculous to allow these people in to this country! Stupid public health England! How ghastly! That is criminal!
    4
  45. Earth Man yes, I’m pleased to hear him speak so succinctly about this.
    3
  46. We need to lock down…and the government needs to help those who need it.
    3
  47. Lestat Angel they waited and slept through warnings. Now it’s too late! Stupidity!!
    3
  48. What is the government thinking of???
    3
  49. I’m really embarrassed watching this awful interview!
    3
  50. This gentleman is completely correct. It was chaotic and a very weak government made no serious decisions, didn’t look at other countries who could have given us very good advice and let its people down. If we had closed our boarders instead of just thinking of the economy with out adequate testing, tracing, face covering and sensible public health guidance, we could have saved thousands of lives. It was so frustrating watching the government doing nothing!! People needed clear guidance and we didn’t get it.
    3
  51. lostinmuzak I agree. Only problem is, it’ll spread to people who don’t!
    3
  52. We will recover quickly once a vaccine is found. We have to be stalwart and patient in the meantime and eventually all will be well.
    3
  53. When I wanted to qualify as a magistrate a few years ago, I was told “No Chance! You’re white!!”, so I didn’t bother.
    3
  54. Haneka Lava depends where our priorities lie.
    3
  55. MoonPhaze5 the air conditioning idea was mine...just my thoughts...the rest of my message was about the doctor who was speaking....texts can get a bit confusing...sorry about that.
    3
  56. Paul Marsh definitely they’ve washed their hands of it and put economics before health of the people
    3
  57. Well, obesity is not healthy but the Chinese are not fat and remember their death rate? Remember many people in Asia who contracted this were slim....
    3
  58. Terry Fandango I know he’s right about obesity but...I tend to think there’s also another reason behind this. Taking the public’s attention away from the basic reason why we have one of the biggest death rates for Covid is primarily in my opinion because the government reacted too little too late! They knew way back in February about this approaching pandemic and chose to ignore it... ...By the way, I’m a slim older woman and have never had a problem with my weight and more importantly, I have a high vitamin D level. Low amounts of Vitamin D in the white but particularly in the BAM community needs to be addressed . It is cheap to buy and will not feed the rich pharmaceutical companies.
    3
  59. hashmo101 a suggestion which could be remedied by taking vitamin D?
    3
  60. kryo Boy stop ALL flights for one month! No messing!
    3
  61. Everyone has had enough!!
    2
  62. Sharon m how stupid to eat these poor animals! Crazy people!
    2
  63. Ginger Hadley it’s not good to eat these animals. You’re crossing infection so that it goes from animal to human, then the strain of the virus strengthens! Not something us humans should be doing!
    2
  64. No!
    2
  65. Matt Hancock is an idiot!
    2
  66. K. S. So true! Maybe it’s time they listened.
    2
  67. Cherryferry1 that is so important. My family are part Chinese and understand the problems.
    2
  68. ??
    2
  69. Andrew Barley because they have had their heads in the sand!
    2
  70. What rubbish!!!!!!
    2
  71. Can’t he see how it’s spreading all over the world? Why is he in denial?
    2
  72. What is going on? How b——y selfish!
    2
  73. Please just go out and buy some vitamin D !!
    2
  74. MadKoool great guy!
    2
  75. Karezza Kenosis I love a Frenchman with an English accent.
    2
  76. So…is Justin Welby extraordinary? I believe he should keep right OUT of politics!
    2
  77. How thick is that? Talk about shutting the stable door when the horse has bolted!!!!!!! Words can’t describe !!
    2
  78. Bless you Dominic
    2
  79. Pompey Corner did it start in China, or in America?
    2
  80. y e e t it certainly happened. I was advised not to bother.
    2
  81. I didn’t apply in the end. In fact two people warned me off. One was a probation officer of long standing and the other was a magistrate. Don’t shoot the messenger! This is what I was advised! Right or wrong. I’m telling you the truth. Believe it or not! No problem either way.
    2
  82. It’s become out of control, that’s the point. Listen to that bloke in the background. He is disturbing the peace, but is not arrested! Law and order seem to have become so weak. People can behave in any way they chose and are permitted so to do! Respect for majority of the ordinary people who voted to leave has been thrown out, and it will destroy our peaceful democracy.
    2
  83. John Valerian someone should swing for this!!!
    2
  84. So I guess the law has been made in favour of illegal immigration....but who made these laws?
    2
  85. What exactly do they mean by “high risk”?
    2
  86. Is this Malta? I know the shoot down swallows and swifts!! We had less of these birds here last year. I will visit countries that behave this way.
    2
  87. Is she trying to make them panic? Help! She’s winding me up!!! God bless you both and keep you strong! x x
    2
  88. So that’s why thousands went to the cricket. Couldn’t believe it, and no masks!
    2
  89. These kids should be at school not causing havoc in the streets. Hopefully, after they realise how selfish they’re being with this dangerous virus lurking within crowds, they will take their protests to China and America! Their parents obviously have no control over them and are equally to blame!
    2
  90. Blake Blake but in other countries, the government provides free care for children whose parents are needed in the healthcare system.
    2
  91. Can someone answer a question? The government have brought these lovely british people from Wuhan and put them into quarantine but....two of the Chinese people who were allowed to fly in with others from Wuhan last week and allowed too to mix with other people here freely... are now ill with the virus, so they were obvious carrying the Coronavirus when they left China.... so why were they allowed to leave Wuhan and land here? also the hotel they stayed in and which is infected by them is still open for business??? How come??

  92. I like it when he says we need to act in a collective manner. Thinking socially is so important. We are at war indeed!

  93. God Brando shame you despise him. It’s a bit of a waste of time.
    1
  94. I think it’s a betrayal that Meghan and Harry are seen on a walkabout with William and Catherine the Prince and Princess of Wales. Please be careful royal family, this may be a huge mistake!
    1
  95. Sheysta Paul why does the interviewer wave his hands about! And WHY should Rees Mogg apologise?
    1
  96. Archie Chocolate I’m emigrating fast!
    1
  97. Mp_20 this didn’t stop the virus spreading!!! The hotel should be closed....and why are these Chinese people allowed into our country when they’ve come from a place where people are dying from this deadly disease? This is not just an ordinary flu so don’t try and fob us off with “just wash your hands thoroughly “! Yes, this is important but more important is stopping the spread by closing flights from these parts of the world!!!
    1
  98. J- Lea thanks for that sensible reply.
    1
  99. The answer is NO!!
    1
  100. lostinmuzak The Chinese government should make the selling and purchasing of wild animals like bats, snakes and rats for public food from these unhygienic markets illegal. More education is needed so that the Chinese people understand that it is totally unnecessary and unhealthy to eat these creatures. They were never meant to be eaten and vira living in their system can be passed on to humans . Vira are very clever (a doctor friend calls them “the master race,”!) and they can mutate and cause havoc in humans and at the moment, we do not know very much about this particular one. It is a shame that China did not take steps to thwart the spread of this when it first appeared last month, but at least they are serious about it now. But sadly, the horse has now bolted so hopefully the WHO will keep it under intense scrutiny!

  101. resplendenxy how long ago was this? Many years ago in England we used to gather in the village square to watch all manner of torture and beheading, it was our culture and earlier still, we lived in caves, but we’ve moved on....
    1
  102. Why????
    1
  103. How old is this young man?
    1
  104. Diana Lynn they need the Christian message. They’ve thrown it out to replace it with ........this!

  105. Teresa MARTIN LORENZO too late now as I am over 70. That is another law...age ism!! Hmmm! 🙂
    1
  106. Brilliant! Thanks Ben. All the very best!
    1
  107. M R No! I’m just a normal person stating a popular point of view and I’m a lot older and wiser than you! Democracy has to have responsibility at its roots...not loss of control in law and order.
    1
  108. POPPY SEED I kinda get your drift x
    1
  109. I think it’s because scientists are worried that this virus is (or has) going to mutate, that is why they are taking extra measures to contain it! I wish people would realise this, and stop saying we are “over reacting”! Money is one thing but people’s health MUST come FIRST!!!
    1
  110. Kendelle Khan I like the way she is using the word “probably”!!
    1
  111. Is China taking part in cleaning up the Earth?
    1
  112. legalise nature if necessary, yes!
    1
  113. redstone craft guy but that is how they managed to stop the spread of SARS. Yet may not be a perfect answer but it is one of the answers.
    1
  114. Yes I remember Brixton. This was 40 years ago....let’s hope people will see that now our police are more educated and not racist. We are not perfect but with foresight things will continue to improve. No more violence on our streets please.
    1
  115. Does this mean China will get let off the hook because we’ll need them financially?
    1
  116. Pandemic????? My eye!!!!!!
    1
  117. Avoid SOHO....many Chinese people landed from this city at least two weeks ago, and were not checked, and many live in soho, so personally I think it’s sensible not to go there.
    1
  118. Wow Ben, so you’re back in quarantine again! Oh no! After all you’ve been through! All the best to you. xx
    1
  119. Diego Rivelino and why didn’t he do more to stop the spread?
    1
  120. Claire Louise why is this awful hotel still accepting people in???? Surely you don’t need an A level in physics to know that it should be shut down and disinfected!!!! People are thick if they go to stay in this hotel and the owners should be jailed as they know about these two who are infected and have now probably spread the virus!!!! It’s just about money isn’t it??? They want to earn a buck and they don’t care if others catch the disease!!! A criminal offence to be sure!!! Very ignorant and stupid!!
    1
  121. So, I suppose the judge will bring the guy in front of the jury. They will find him guilty and the judge will send him to jail for five years? But while in jail, he has to do very hard Labour on farmland and is given short shrift! The guy needs real hard punishing otherwise this will just be the start of more destructive behaviour by those who hate our culture, on our landscapes, statues and memorials.

  122. K MT no comment!!

  123. M R still no comment!

  124. Prince Phillip was not a consort. He was a Prince in his own right and became Duke of Edinburgh.

  134. Nataschia Wilisch so true!

  135. JAMES WHITELEY I hope so much it won’t be a warmed up deal from Mrs May’s old one. But if Steve Baker goes for it, it will feel more sure it’s the right way to go. Otherwise, I will stick at the Brexit party.
    1
  136. Anna Pascal - Pascalito01 stupid people to eat snakes and bats. Foolish!

  137. Cherryferry1 point taken. But a small mistake can affect many millions. My Chinese relations agree about this.
