:covid_19: 😷 šŸ„ Corona Virus the thread for all your fears ā“

ā€œA world beating tracing system up and running by Juneā€. Another day, another Prime Ministerial bare faced lie exposed. But he won’t care, he genuinely doesn’t give a fuck, he lies as naturally as breathing. Remember his solemn promise during the election campaign when he swore that the NHS was not for sale in any trade deal with The US? It was fake news by the Labour party.
From the piece - ā€˜An e mail from the chief executive of Serco,(headquarters :Herndon Virginia) - one of the main companies contracted to deliver the service - revealed how he doubted the scheme would evolve smoothly but said he wanted it to ā€œcement the position of the private sectorā€ in the NHS supply chain’. They know they can’t deliver, fuck knows how many million they have trousered already for providing this non existent service. Certainly enough to show a good return on their ā€˜donations’ to Tory party funds. But the main thing, they are ā€˜cementing their position’ in the queue to asset strip UK publicly owned institutions. That’s what counts! What a disgrace.
I do wonder what it will take for the people of this country to wake up to how they are being taken for fools by this government, there must be a masochistic tendency in the genes of most of them.

I have to ask… why not just buy/adopt one already implemented in other countries?

How dare you question the intelligence and rational thought of the British electorate! Don’t you know they All have deep rooted rational argumentation and principles guiding their every decision and can see through the lies and propaganda?

Have you not noticed the single solid unchangeable theme through all of this

Ignore anything done by any other country and diss them at every opportunity.
If someone else makes a comparison - change the subject.
Welcome to Little Britain

I can only imagine that the perceived political fall out of going cap in hand to another country is far greater that delivering something late

pride… before a fall or in our case…

political status ahead of lives… If our great electorate are truly smart, this should be FAR LESS tolerable with much greater fallout than going cap in hand to get a working solution… but i wont hold my breath

Surely the key problem is the perception that doing so would somehow be ā€œcap in handā€. No reason whatever why that should be the case.

No reason at all, and I would do it in a heart beat. However people would make political capital out of it because we had to buy it in and didnt have our own system ready to go.

It feels a bit like the govt designing their own operating system because they dont want to use Windows

It’s more likely to be jobs for the boys than any perception of cap in hand.

Why pay money to a competent company that could have got something up and running in a short space of time when you can give 10 times the amount to your mate (who runs a software development company) and get some of that back as kick backs…

Good job i have grown a protective thatch during lockdown… swept back to cover the old patch… like and aging roadie… (past being an aging rock god)

Anyone seen the Sage files? Haven’t looked in much detail, but from high level it looks like they gave the Government some shite preliminary advice.

OK, the quarantine plans are a shambles and should have been in place ages ago but why the f**k do the airlines think they should have been consulted over the plans? If it was up to the airlines I’m pretty sure that they wouldn’t have stopped flights in the first place!!

Just like BA didn’t consult me when they have just withdrawn the dietary requirements meals

The Ayatollah could be faced with a long haul flight with no food provided (assuming all is well)

Their response is bring your own - OK, curry, kippers and durian

And a massive fuck you to Willie Walsh you odious cunt

Yeah BA. Profits more important than lives. Jeeez

Just read the article. BA says it is currently burning through its cash at the rate of £1m per hour. So £168m every week. Seriously?!

I guess that the management team are still on full pay then.
