Its just plain bullshit though isnât it? We canât even fulfill our testing capacity at 300000 per day currently. They may aswell just forget the lies and hand the billions straight to their
Cronies. Nobody believes them anymore.

Isnât that the definition of a moonshot - trying to do something that has never been done before
You are right though - they wonât get close

I am not defending the government. I might put down a different perspective. And I might take issue if I feel that the rhetoric is over the top.
Generally I am a fairly balanced pragmatic sort.
Technology has to start somewhere and not sure anything major ever invented without any cost.
Has to be judged right but if there is some hope of success it has to be worth exploring. Not defending Govt either but UK industry has a reputation for hi tech solutions
Weâre 6 months down the line and still putting all hope on a miracle system that doesnât exist. Thatâs the problem.

Rightly or wrongly we are where we are - what would you like them to do instead?
apart from resign 
Iâm not in charge of the country. All I know is that is the policy has been to get everyone back to school, work, out in the economy then there needs to be some way of ensuring safety - and despite the time that had lapsed there is absolutely nothing to to ensure people are safe other than some pie in the sky plan from some sort of science fiction novel. Right at the start of the outbreak WHO kept repeating âtest, test, testâ. Itâs the only way to ensure safety. You canât just put your faith in magic. They havenât even managed to get the testing system right and now insult everyone by talking about futuristic testing that is impossible. Iâm not happy with that. Yesterday they mentioned that theyâre still something like 75k tests short of the capacity figure Johnson keeps using - well why? Whatâs happening to those tests?
All this nonsense Hancock says about the public are to blame for getting tested when theyâre not infected - they told us to get tested.
If they canât ensure that this virus wonât spread like wildfire again then they need to have a plan to keep us safe, which they donât have and instead just talk shit that some people seem happy with. Stop telling people to go to work, stop opening schools that canât maintain social distance and safe protocols and support people who need help with lost income

Nutshell.
Can i have one of the contracts for operation moonshot? I donât actually have any spaceships but i do have an old bicycle.
This announcement is typical Johnson, just spouts any old bullshit that Cummings feeds him. 100 billion of public money up for grabs, I bet Serco, G4S etc are beside themselves with excitement, trebles all round in boardrooms around the world.
This is the thing with conservatives, eventually they run out of somebody elseâs money!

It may as well be called Operation Cumshot as it will all end up in a big, sticky mess over someones face.

We are not hitting capacity for testing as we donât have the laboratory capacity to analyse results or the infrastructure in place so that tests can be administered as locally as is optimal. Its not as though weâve had 6 months to sort that out is it? Mrs G started a 21 day saliva test pilot on Tuesday. If that proves feasible it will solve the lab/analysis issues and will enable more home testing. But thats a big if and some way off. And it wonât cost anywhere near 100billion no matter what any of the cunts tell you.

But where is the mass condemnation? I canât even blame the MSM who we know are sucking off Boris and his chums as their arch capitalist proprietors are all benefitting from the mates policy decisions⊠but is the backlash from the electorate on thsi obvious corrupt and incompetent shiftiest? For em the lack of it is all that is wrong with this country, but I wonât repeat my thoughts on the reasons whyâŠ

Just been out for a walk along the prom at Avon Beach stopping off for lunch at The Oak in Bank. Nice lunch, well organised social distancing etc but noticed a young couple eating at a table in the garden. As we left I thought Iâd go over and gave them a roasting.
âThis is all your fuckinâ fault you mean, miserable, inconsiderate bastards!â
They were shockedâŠbut it needed to be said.

Not sure the MSM are sucking off Boris - he is getting pelters from the right leaning crew about this new lockdown, quarantine, air corridors, not getting people back in the office etc
Borisâ issue is that one side want a quick move back to normality and the other wants more caution and more financial support etc
Now that would take a particularly skillful politician to tiptoe through that maze - unfortunately we ainât got one
What the fuck are you doing out of your home
If you old fuckers stayed inside and werenât so bloody fragile we would be all fine and dandy
