Dont forget, Boris decided his end of year holiday wasn't enough for a new pm, so he took half of February off for another holiday, with the virus already rampaging across Europe and well on it's way here.

I dont know, im sure you have a long list

Btw I have never voted Tory but I have Labour including our current useless London Mayor, I am supporting the current governments efforts to get on top of the crisis yes, unlike you who are willing them to fail

Another unnecessary comment... are you aware what you are suggesting here? I've been accused of this too, that there is some joy in the failings we've experienced in the country due to the slow response and PPE issues. And worse are hoping for worse.

Can you understand how insulting that is? This goes beyond politicising the issue it's downright offensive.

But, they are failing. It is not helpful to be blind to this because tens of thousands of people are dying. I’m guessing there’s tens of thousands of people yet to come.

People claiming their efforts are good or excellent as it stands are the ones who are truly (unintentionally) willing the country to fail if anything.

Demand more from your government.

Thousands are dying across the world so are all governments failing?

We are fairly unique I’d say ... 70 million crammed into a relatively small landmass !!


I see people comparing our death count unfavourable with flamin New Zealand yet although we both share roughly the same landmass they have under 5 million population !

What a load of ****. I'm not willing anything to fail, you just cannot handle criticism of the government. Governments should be held accountable for their actions, if you disagree with that then you'd probably love living in China or North Korea but I for one believe in freedom. If you see that as me willing the government to fail in the middle of a crisis then that is a catastrophic failure on your part to understand what I'm saying. Do better.

Nice attempt at baiting there at the end, stay pressed and obsessed and remember your basic reading comprehension, it'll help you differentiate between wanting to hold a government accountable to it's lies and hoping it fails xx.

Considering this is Britain, and the way Britain is today..the government has done exceptionally well on keeping the population under control and the army off the streets.

It’s terrifying that there could have been 200k+ less worldwide deaths if governments acted promptly, but this doesn’t matter to some. All efforts were still excellent in some people’s eyes. Terrifying.

If nobody had your attitude, there would be far less deaths because the government would have to listen to the people.

Unfortunately, they are right in knowing they can literally get away with murder.

So i take it by your failure to respond you never bothered to protect your customers by moving the stickers 2m apart, a simple enough task, yet the government is not doing a good enough job for you, got it

A reminder of what you said

No, it just encourages people to defy the lockdown for pointless ****, social distancing will not be observed because it isn't being observed now. Most shops I go (including my own work place) into have those distancing stickers everywhere but most of them aren't even spaced a meter apart, never mind two.

Cherie, why do you think it's acceptable to bring up my life like that? If I said the same thing to you, you would have blown up so practice some self awareness and know that this is not the path to go down.

Honestly, you're being very ****ing creepy. You is a TV show, not a how-to manual.

Dezzy..you openly brought your life onto the forum when you plugged your book.

So it's fair for Cherie to simply ask you about your work environment during such difficult times...no?

Not when her friends used that information to harass me outside of the forum, no.

I get the feeling that she's trying to fish for more details about my work and I won't oblige.

You guys don't understand this but I'm entitled to a life outside of this forum. You and yours' need to follow my lead, I'd never pull that **** on any of you, don't feel justified in bringing my personal life into **** it doesn't belong in.

Lol you posted on the forum ...you know nothing about me...if I had posted what you did on the forum I would say its fair game..

It’s not creepy to quote something you posted so don’t bother trying to move the goalposts and intimate that you haven’t bothered to protect your customers, its someone else’s responsibility .. probably the government ...we get it

Lol I have no need or desire to fish for information,, I’m just gifted with a half decent memory, you said yourself you sign off peoples holidays so you are management and even if you weren’t in the current climate most people would bring an error in distancing to management attention.... ...don’t drag me into your book review thing..nothing to do with me mate as well you know...

But you brought your life onto the forum via your book, what happened after that has sod all to do with Cherie.

You are taking your anger that's built up from that incident out on Cherie and that's very unfair cause she is simply asking you a question about another side of your life..you ain't prince harry son..you can't pick and chose!
