Possibly big announcement at 11am.
Has Ralph been sacked?
Soz wrong thread, thought I was on one of Bazzaās āfrothing at the rectumā threads
Was that the briefing by the āexpertsā?
Best summarised as:-
- Itās going to get really bad if we donāt do anything about this.
- Weāre not really doing anything about this.
- Get back to work plebs
Or
- donāt meet in large groups, how many times do you need to be told dickhead
- Keep your distance, wherever you can
- wear a face mask if you canāt, especially indoors
- yes, that includes you, you selfish tosser who thinks you know better. You are killing other people.
A conversation today
Them: Sorry i can come in today, I have a temperature
Me: Ok get a Covid test
Them: I dont believe in all that, I will be fine in a day or so - Iāll come in then
Me: No, you bloody wonāt. You are persona non gratis for 14 days. If you want to come in sooner show me a negative test
Them: Iām not getting a test
Me: Enjoy your unpaid leave
Them: I ''ll get a test asap
Nailed it
And so the bullshit from Johnson, Hancock and the rest of them goes on and on. Itās all meaningless without a working test and trace system, this has been known for months. Despite throwing billions at it the system in this country is a complete shambles.The only success is the world beating diversion of public money into the pockets of Government donors, friends and supporters. Iāve just read a letter in the Guardian from a medical professional at a large teaching hospital in Southern England that last week stopped the testing of Asymptomatic staff. Because there isnāt enough capacity in the labs⦠So where have these billions gone?
For weeks now they have been sending tests to labs in Germany and Italy.
Taking back control eh? What irony!
Panorama at 7 pm tonight will tell you all you need to know about the gangsters who are now running the show.
Yeah, itās all fun and games when there are tests available.
At my mateās work, bloke phones up. Says his daughter has been sent home from school.
He was told he couldnāt self-isolate unless his daughter had a positive tests.
At a time when you canāt get tests. He canāt afford to take the unpaid leave.
Here we go again ā¦
Whatās that on the Nandos menu?
In government terms, probably āHotā
For the General public, probably āPlain-ishā
See below for the Governmentās latest threat guideā¦
Media beginning to talk about the start of panic buying⦠and guess what, people will read it and really start panic buying - self fulfilling prophecy
The media are cunts
Any who the fuck panic buys bottled watered
Itās called a tap you bellends
Some of the billions went to PPE contracts who have never made anything remotely similar to PPE. In fact one such contractor was a pest control business and another was a manufacturer of confectionery.
One of the largest contracts (£253m, total budget of Public Health England is £300m) went to Ayanda Capital, a private equity firm that deals with family wealth and how to keep it. This company is based in Mauritius (a tax haven) and was contracted to produce an undisclosed number of face masks. The contract was not put out to tender and was awarded without the usual scrutiny. Currently in legal proceedings regarding a Times article about the face masks they produced not meeting required standards.
Andrew Mills is a senior advisor to Ayanda Capital (appointed in March this year) and is also an advisor to the Board of Trade which is chaired by International Trade Secretary Liz Truss.
Iām sure itās legit and above board. Or, this will blow up as a massive scandal in 5 years time.
Some of the dubious* companies who were awarded PPE contracts:
*Not all will be dubious. Some will be legit and have done a remarkable job in turning round PPE which has helped to protect the front-line workers.
