Dom Raab MP said on Talk Radio spoke of
Games Of Thrones brought the take
a knee "seems to be taken" from TV drama

BBC text
[And a graphic on the front of the Financial Times
shows the plummeting shares of
German payments company Wirecard,
after its auditor warned that €1.9bn (£1.7bn) was
"missing from its accounts".
The paper says the fintech group - once seen
as "the star of the German tech sector" - has spent
the past year and a half "battling to allay
concerns over its accounting practices".]

Interesting given I got snapped at in here for wondering how many people understood the real meaning of the ‘kneeling’ ..

Raab was trying to be a smart Alec and failed miserably. I get what he means though, kneeling is a form of subjugation and for me personally seems at odds when the aim is for equality

He was pathetic.
Kneeling is two knees.
Taking the knee is only one, most of us know the ruddy difference.

People can hold more than one thought in their heads at a time. They can have a preferred political party and also think said party is handling a crisis badly

The UK Covid-19 Alert level has moved down from four to three, BBC home affairs correspondent Daniel Sandford reports.

Level four represents a high or rising level of transmission, while level three means the virus is in general circulation.

The Bromance we need to get things moving again

This is a little behind the times as the rhetoric has been we're there already.

I'm not a public health expert or scientist.
However with the R rate still between 0.7 to 0.9 and believed over 1 in some areas.

Still with over 4,000 new cases daily.
Still around 100 to 100+ deaths daily.

The cynic in me has me thinking this is only to justify reducing the social distance level to around 1 metre.

I've done my utmost to keep nearer 3m away from others. I'll continue to do so until we've next to NO new cases and preferably no more deaths.

It's not just my health and maybe life I'm risking if I get this.
However also those more vulnerable of my loved ones.

Also I'll be more confident, when and IF ever we get the numbers of actual people being tested, not just the number of tests done.
Where 2 tests on the same person, are recorded as 2 tests rather than only the 1.

I’ve kinda lost all faith in the government to be honest .. at the start of all this they seemed to have achieved so much in such a short time but now ....
They’re making so many strange decisions and I really don’t trust a word (or stat ) they say .

I still think that Boris has a good heart .

For me only Rishi Sunak has shone.
Hancock cannot be believed on anything.
Nor any other Minister.

Sadly I think Sunak is likely soon to be forced to take a harder line soon too.

They may as well now stop the press conferences as all we get are doctored statistics and deceit there now.

[bitontheslide]

Apart from the first 2 weeks, the press conferences have only been a means of pushing an agenda from one side or another. I stopped watching them a long time ago

We need to get the country moving again or there will be many more deaths as the country goes bankrupt and people are out of work with no money to provide them with assistance. That's the reality, it's not pleasant, but it's the truth

5PM its the Education Secretary doing the briefing


173 Deaths


42,461 Total UK deaths

[joeysteele]

173 deaths in 24 hours and this creep cannot even express condolences to those left bereaved.
It speaks volumes.

The current Cabinet is awful, don't like any of them...

edit - Rishi Sunak is okay, he'll probably be PM eventually... I can't see Boris finishing his entire term tbh

I rate Rishi Sunak.
He has listened and acted the best all through so far, on this in my opinion.

Actually, I have never been someone who likes Boris Johnson and I'm still not.
I find his support for the fiction story from his advisor annoying.

However, I personally think watching him, I don't think Boris Johnson has yet fully recovered from this virus.
I don't think he took enough time to actually.
As he did get a bad episode of it obviously.

I'm not overly political (my politics basically end at "whatever causes less destruction of greenery and killing animals), but I wanted a hung parliament in 2019 as I didn't like either leader. Sir Kier is great, I'd go for Labour if there was another snap. BoJo is amusing enough, and from what I've heard he was a good Mayor, but that doesn't mean he's a good PM.

I've heard some accounts that the Covid can leave permanent damage, and that it can affect more organs than respiratory ones. Whether or not that's true, I agree that he didn't take the time to properly recover, and he's paying for it.
