Bloody hell.
So the worlds most accurate Covid-19 web site was created by a 17 year old kid

Paywall?
Ouch. Knives are out this morning. Crikey
…and last week as I took the dog out one of my neighbours cock-a-hoop that Boris was out of hospital said,
“He’s the best thing that’s happened to Great Britain in the last 40 years” I looked at him incredulously,
“You’re joking aren’t you”
“No, you don’t agree?” he replied.
“No, I don’t and very soon it will be obvious to everyone”
He shook his head and I walked on.
That’s a very interesting and damming read. I’m not surprised at some of the incompetence but maybe at the scale of it.
Meanwhile.
This thread should become a T-Shirt or something.
Actually it maybe a transcript of those press conferences.
Read it all, a work of art.
So just watched an impotent Andrew Marr let Gove off the hook on the Times’ article.
Gove filibustered his way out of time with Marr making pathetic grunting noises attempting to get Gove to shut up so he could answer another question.
I swore at the TV whilst Mrs Bletch told me to calm down.
This was the final part of the interview and I think Marr got two questions in on The Times’ article (which Gove answered neither of) before he thanked Gove warmly and closed the fucking show.
If I had been the interviewer on the day that Times article came out, I’d have spent the entire interview on it.
Haven’t seen Sky’s politics section this morning did Sophie’s Ridge do any better?
Where’s Piers Morgan when you need him.
That’s stolen off someone else. I saw that a couple days ago
Edit: original here
Piers seems to be doing fine on Twitter.
Pretty certain nobody will be answering calls from him this week
Maybe Gove just twisted the knife?
Maybe he via his wife was the source.
Maybe Marr just let him make the perfect distancing statement.
A leadership battle in the middle of carnage, what the FVCK are they thinking?
Remember that PPE arriving from Turkey that we’ve had spun to us over the last couple of days?
The same PPE consignment that Gove has been pre-announcing today?
The same PPE consignment that, even when it arrives, will only last a few days?
The same PPE consignment that Jenrick boasted about in the daily briefing the other day?
Yeah, it’s not arriving today.
They’re a shower of shit.
I UNDERSTAND THERE A PROBLEMS AND SHORTAGES BUT OWN UP TO THAT AND STOP SPINNING TO US YOU CUNTS.
IDS losing his shit on Sky.
He’d just blamed China and the WHO for lying and not sharing information and was being challenged by the presenter.
He’s obviously been sent out as a non-cabinet attack dog that can ruin relationships with China and the WHO so that cabinet ministers can distance themselves from his remarks.
I recall another world leader blaming the WHO…a bat-shit mental orange one.
I also recall seeing the WHO official telling us to take the pandemic seriously and to test, test, test.
Fair play to Gamal Fahnbulleh who would not let IDS get away with smearing the WHO.
IDS also said he was not surprised that Johnson missed 5 COBRA briefings at the beginning of a global emergency. He said he would expect the PM to delegate.
Here’s the video.
That fucking cunt should be the first fucker up against the fucking wall.
Is it because he’s black? Racist IMO.
I knew that was coming as soon as I hit reply.
How do you know that Gamal identifies as “he”?
Genderphobe!
