Lot of noise & heat about lack of testing around. Ministers right to point out that tests are not a cure for coronavirus or an alternative to staying home. Critics right to point out that failure to roll out swab testing is keeping Drs & nurses away from NHS frontline 1/2

BBC News sparks outrage as they CUT OFF No10’s coronavirus briefing – ‘Seriously!?’
BBC News sparked outrage on Thursday after cutting off the Government’s daily coronavirus press briefing to give a UK weather update.
“EU court rules against three states over refugees”
This should be interesting: either the EUSSR impose real fines with bite, thereby further alienating countries already deeply disillusioned with the EU, or they impose token slaps on the wrist, thereby revealing their impotence to all, and setting a precedent for member states to ignore their diktats.
Lose-lose. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-52133906
Johns Hopkins Uni has added another 20,000 to the US Covid–19 numbers. Things are not looking good for Germany; the BBC’s favourite benchmark for excellence this week has now passed China’s tally. If the Chinese figures can be believed, that is.
All the demographic stats show the preponderance of ‘migrants’ to be male adults.
But what picture does Al-beeb choose to illustrate their story on those heartless Visegrad countries?
COW ! Laura Kuennsberg’s comments on the podcast….. “Boris Johnson in his own little self isolation bunker”, jesus wonder how she’d feel if someone took the piss out of her if she was poorly.
I saw a report that Gary Lineker is giving two months’s salary to the NHS, (all down to Scrobs), and that Harry Ginger might rejoin the army to actually do something! Thought about once, so that counts doesn’t it…
Remember folks, Scrobs has ears in places where nobody ever dreamed about…
Myself-meself also predicted that Nicholas Lyndhurst would join ‘New Tricks’, and if you don’t believe me, just check it all out via the usual channels…
2025 – the 5th year of lockdown . The daily 5pm briefing continues but no one watches.every evening we all stand at the door and clap for 5 minutes . Nobody can remember why .
Elections have been suspended under the lock down regulations . Ocado and amazon have now perfected delivery so there Is never a need to go out again . The population is falling because of the social separation rules . ONS reckons there won’t be a population at all in a few years time and the pandemic will be over . The TV licence is now Only £500 a year .
The government reckons that enough PPE will be delivered in a month or two – same with the testing – and the vaccine .
And there are rumours of a “covid 20 “ but the chinese aren’t saying anything…….
The latest Left wing propaganda found on Facebook and cleverly blames all on Boris. Copied and pasted by me:
“” As this crisis deepens and the death toll mounts, a narrative is going to emerge that will be very seductive to many of us. It will all be the fault of “the people.”
The people who failed to practice social distancing.
The people who hoarded.
The people who didn’t listen to the government.
The people who didn’t listen to the science.
The people. Those selfish people. Look at them in their parks.
The government will start trotting this out. Right wing media will push it hard.
Many of us will feel the tug of this seductive reasoning. Our brains will be tempted to lash out at “the people.” When we do, we must remember some things:
– The government had 3 months to prepare. This was a train coming down the tracks.
– At first we were told the plan was herd immunity. Then it wasn’t.
– As the first few people started to die, Boris Johnson boasting of shaking the hands of hospitalised coronavirus patients. This was a week before the lockdown.
– Why weren’t we in lockdown like other European countries, some asked. Trust us, they said.
– Then we got the lockdown order. What did they say? The initial government advice was only “essential workers could travel to work”. A day later this was changed to “essential travel for work.” See the difference? There are screenshots of this.
– They told us to practice social distancing as MPs crowded around each other in the House of Commons.
– They said the NHS could cope, then they started building field hospitals in stadiums.
– They said the NHS had the protective equipment it needed, then we logged on to social media.
– They said we were in it together, then they got tested before the frontline workers.
– They clapped when they voted against a pay-rise for NHS nurses in 2017, then they clapped for the NHS.
– They spent a decade telling us cuts were needed to save the economy, then they said the only way to save the economy was to spend trillions.
– They spent a decade insisting £94 was enough to live on, then admitted it wasn’t.
– They got us to vote for Brexit by rubbishing “experts,” then told us to trust experts.
– They told us retail workers were low skilled, then said they were key workers.
– They said homelessness was sad but inevitable, then they order it ended overnight.
So yes, “the people” ended up a little fucking confused.
Because our so-called leaders have utterly failed to lead.
They don’t know what they stand for; they couldn’t believe the world could change so quickly; they resisted “alarmism” when the only proper response was to be alarmed; they had no idea how to use the power of the state, having spent a decade dismantling it; they were arrogant and complacent, wallowing in privilege. The fundamental duty of government is to keep us safe. That’s what we pay them to do. They have failed.
As the death toll mounts, remember that our leaders are to blame, not “the people,” and we must resist the temptation to blame each other.””
If Lord Haw- Haw was to reappear from 1939 -1945. He wouldn’t

London.
The only losers are the police. Surely they should back off at this time. People will remember who behaved well or badly. They really look an unimpressive bunch.
Don’t they appear to be scruffy and slovenly these days ? I had a job to distinguish them from the traffic wardens .
I suppose its all down to the modern Police Commissioners we have in charge?
Perhaps the chappie should have worn a Rainbow or Extinction Rebellion badge, or maybe worn a tea towel on his head ?
7:43pm BBC2 “whitey-man bad he enslaved blacks”
It was a repeat of the history prog about Sunderland Point in Cumbria
10 minutes of interesting history about the port building
then ‘but the trade had a dark side
Tadaa here is black Robert Beckford Professor of BLACK theology to explain”
Actually he wasn’t that bad, he didn’t lay it on too thick
& he did let on that slaves were sold by other black tribes.
‘The ships carried a lot of guns to trade, cos the captains would play division by arming one tribe so they would capture members of another tribe to sell’
Yep, I can believe that some devious merchants did that.
but that it’s likely, that Arab traders had started tricks that many years s before.
Hello hello, what is going on here?
Licence please.

I often comment on the BBC’s house rag the Guardian. I am always polite and take a lot of abuse which I relish. Recently I am getting moderated. There seem to be a pattern . Insulting Boris and the Tories is fine but if you mention the WHO , China, the failures in continental Europe (women’ marches in Spain March 8th ) and particularly if you mention key facts and dates involving the WHO and China you will find yourself moderated.
The herd mentality is clear. They are desperate to use this disaster for political ends. It will backfire big time but along the way they will do real damage to morale and to my country. The BBC is the same. it is not to be forgiven.
I’ve been studying the raw data on the woldometer website. No-one, beeb or otherwise, seems willing (or permitted?) to mention the harsher data.
The generally touted data is that the chance of dying, after contracting the disease, is around 3%. This figure lumps in contracted cases, recovered and died.
However, if you compare recovered against died only, deaths amount to around 20% of the whole. This is a much more alarming and I would say ‘honest’ way of presenting the figures.
I suggest you look again. Look at S. Korea which i consider the most reliable. The active cases are much less and the recovered much higher. In addition most countries have no way of including those who contact the virus but show no or minor symptoms. I suspect these are very many and if we had some way of knowing the numbers would make the fatality rate per 1000 people much much lower.
For me the main problem is that this virus is very very contagious and spreads like wildfire. This makes it a real threat in that it can overwhelm any health service for a time. Hence the lockdowns. It would not necessarily mean that it is more likely to kill . The virus seems to almost explode into a population when it reaches a critical mass. This seems to have happened in Italy for reasons yet to be determind and in Spain where maybe the marches on 8th March for woman’s day involved thousands. We might be lucky . I hope so, I was very opposed to the Cheltenham festival going ahead. That has no doubt led to many more cases than at present we know about.

Sporting classics to fill summer void
Wondering how you’re going to fill the void created by the lack of sport this summer?
Don’t worry, the BBC has a plan (for audiences in the UK).
With the likes of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, the Euro 2020 football tournament and the Wimbledon tennis championships called off, a host of memorable sporting moments will be shown in their place.
These include:
The London 2012 opening ceremony and key highlights of the Games
Matches from Euro 96, where England reached the semi-finals on home soil
Andy Murray winning Wimbledon in 2013, becoming the first British men’s champion in 77 years
The exact scheduling will be announced soon. In the meantime, you can whet your appetite by seeing which classics are going to be aired.
“Singing along with the BBC” ?
IMHO its all about promoting Al Beeb because it knows its under threat of extinction. Hence all the opposition headlines and comments against the present government .
There is a propaganda war being waged against Bo Jo and his cabinet. Presumably Dominic Mckenzie Cummings is aware of this .
FFS!Now have to put up with this lot of virtue signalling snowflakes applauding the NHS every week.If modern technology had existed during the war, maybe instead of fighting Hitler, we could have just sent this to him,#Stop making war on us!Thank God my parent’s generation was made of sterner stuff than this Lib Mob crowd.
The Lifestyle editor of the Metro freepaper vs Maajid Nawaz
Hi Faima, roughly 82% of the UK is white, so it is expected that 80-90% of Type I (individual) child sex abuse will be by white perpetrators. BUT, only 5% of UK is Muslim, so it is alarming that above 80% of Type 2 (open &collective) child abuse is by Muslim, mostly Pakistani men
If that’s really Nawaz, hats off to him for speaking truth to powerful lie factories like the beeb and taking flak from both sides, and precious little support from anywhere.
It is hugely disrespectful to characterise care for injustice about 5,000+ groomed/raped/pimped/traded CHILDREN
with perhaps 100,000 rape events as “bleating”
Oh don’t worry , it’s only a few
and the media overreports
I quote
“a FEW high-profile cases
and the media’s penchant to OVERREPORT certain types of stories.” screenshots of tweet and article
BBC local radio stations to broadcast Islamic prayers from tomorrow morning.
Chris Burns, head of BBC Local Radio, said: “Many Muslims will feel a void in their lives where prayers used to be – a feeling the will be magnified as we approach Ramadan.”
Seems a genuine BBC tweet, Second part of tweet
“And to those complaining about / questioning this,
just a reminder that a Christian service is broadcast
each Sunday at 8am on all 39 BBC local radio stations.”
Mahgrib the second to final prayer is around 19:41 , 19:50
so that is going to conflict with the enforced NHS worship time at 20:00
Today on the radio, tomorrow from minarets, the next day it’s compulsory, then churches closed, finally sharia law, the Caliphate, stonings and dhimmitude.
Well done beeb, I hope you’re proud of yourselves.
I don’t know why militants bother murdering us, they could just sit back and let the treacherous BBC convert us for them.

The hospital capacity issues in Spain are not new; their ICUs routinely overflow during the flu season. What’s new, as with Lombardy, is the international reporting, together with dislocations due to the lockdown, for example medical staff in quarantine. Examples from past years (there are many more):
El Mundo, January 2017 Flu Collapses Hospitals in half of Spain The flu is collapsing hospital facilities in almost all of Spain. The Influenza Surveillance System of the Carlos III Institute of Madrid has explained in a document that hospital incidents have reached almost 100 cases for every 100,000 inhabitants during the first week of January
Of course I thank every GOOD public servant for their service
I see that noise has been made about doctors who have died
but what about the other NHS frontline staff , paramedics, nurses ?
I started checking
#1 Areema Nasreen died shortly after midnight in the ICU at the Walsall Manor Hospital in West Midlands.
36-year-old NHS nurse, who was believed to have no underlying health issues, has died after contracting #COVID19
“having treated patients suspected of having the deadly bug. ”
#2 Thomas Harvey (healthcare assistant)
“died of coronavirus after being denied hospital treatment.” says TalkRadio

vlad, Mutti breached EU rules when she unilaterally threw open the doors of the EU to all and sundry around the world.
No action was taken against her at all.

Johns Hopkins Uni has added another 20,000 to the US Covid–19 numbers. Things are not looking good for Germany; the BBC’s favourite benchmark for excellence this week has now passed China’s tally. If the Chinese figures can be believed, that is.

All the demographic stats show the preponderance of ‘migrants’ to be male adults.
But what picture does Al-beeb choose to illustrate their story on those heartless Visegrad countries?
It’s almost as if they had an agenda.

I saw a report that Gary Lineker is giving two months’s salary to the NHS, (all down to Scrobs), and that Harry Ginger might rejoin the army to actually do something! Thought about once, so that counts doesn’t it…
Remember folks, Scrobs has ears in places where nobody ever dreamed about…
Myself-meself also predicted that Nicholas Lyndhurst would join ‘New Tricks’, and if you don’t believe me, just check it all out via the usual channels…

2025 – the 5th year of lockdown . The daily 5pm briefing continues but no one watches.every evening we all stand at the door and clap for 5 minutes . Nobody can remember why .
Elections have been suspended under the lock down regulations . Ocado and amazon have now perfected delivery so there Is never a need to go out again . The population is falling because of the social separation rules . ONS reckons there won’t be a population at all in a few years time and the pandemic will be over . The TV licence is now Only £500 a year .
The government reckons that enough PPE will be delivered in a month or two – same with the testing – and the vaccine .
And there are rumours of a “covid 20 “ but the chinese aren’t saying anything…….

The latest Left wing propaganda found on Facebook and cleverly blames all on Boris. Copied and pasted by me:
“” As this crisis deepens and the death toll mounts, a narrative is going to emerge that will be very seductive to many of us. It will all be the fault of “the people.”
The people who failed to practice social distancing.
The people who hoarded.
The people who didn’t listen to the government.
The people who didn’t listen to the science.
The people. Those selfish people. Look at them in their parks.
The government will start trotting this out. Right wing media will push it hard.
Many of us will feel the tug of this seductive reasoning. Our brains will be tempted to lash out at “the people.” When we do, we must remember some things:
– The government had 3 months to prepare. This was a train coming down the tracks.
– At first we were told the plan was herd immunity. Then it wasn’t.
– As the first few people started to die, Boris Johnson boasting of shaking the hands of hospitalised coronavirus patients. This was a week before the lockdown.
– Why weren’t we in lockdown like other European countries, some asked. Trust us, they said.
– Then we got the lockdown order. What did they say? The initial government advice was only “essential workers could travel to work”. A day later this was changed to “essential travel for work.” See the difference? There are screenshots of this.
– They told us to practice social distancing as MPs crowded around each other in the House of Commons.
– They said the NHS could cope, then they started building field hospitals in stadiums.
– They said the NHS had the protective equipment it needed, then we logged on to social media.
– They said we were in it together, then they got tested before the frontline workers.
– They clapped when they voted against a pay-rise for NHS nurses in 2017, then they clapped for the NHS.
– They spent a decade telling us cuts were needed to save the economy, then they said the only way to save the economy was to spend trillions.
– They spent a decade insisting £94 was enough to live on, then admitted it wasn’t.
– They got us to vote for Brexit by rubbishing “experts,” then told us to trust experts.
– They told us retail workers were low skilled, then said they were key workers.
– They said homelessness was sad but inevitable, then they order it ended overnight.
So yes, “the people” ended up a little fucking confused.
Because our so-called leaders have utterly failed to lead.
They don’t know what they stand for; they couldn’t believe the world could change so quickly; they resisted “alarmism” when the only proper response was to be alarmed; they had no idea how to use the power of the state, having spent a decade dismantling it; they were arrogant and complacent, wallowing in privilege. The fundamental duty of government is to keep us safe. That’s what we pay them to do. They have failed.
As the death toll mounts, remember that our leaders are to blame, not “the people,” and we must resist the temptation to blame each other.””
That’s what we’re up against 🙁

7:43pm BBC2 “whitey-man bad he enslaved blacks”
It was a repeat of the history prog about Sunderland Point in Cumbria
10 minutes of interesting history about the port building
then ‘but the trade had a dark side
Tadaa here is black Robert Beckford Professor of BLACK theology to explain”
Actually he wasn’t that bad, he didn’t lay it on too thick
& he did let on that slaves were sold by other black tribes.
‘The ships carried a lot of guns to trade, cos the captains would play division by arming one tribe so they would capture members of another tribe to sell’
Yep, I can believe that some devious merchants did that.
but that it’s likely, that Arab traders had started tricks that many years s before.

Speaking as a white man who has never owned a black slave, the BBC expects me to pay reparations to black men who has never been slaves.

Doing zero MPH Mr Sentry.
I note that you committed a similar offence five times yesterday.
In exactly the same location.
Once for nine hours.
This “I was stationary on my drive” nonsense is not a justification.
Such callous lack of consideration for other motorists is unacceptable.

I often comment on the BBC’s house rag the Guardian. I am always polite and take a lot of abuse which I relish. Recently I am getting moderated. There seem to be a pattern . Insulting Boris and the Tories is fine but if you mention the WHO , China, the failures in continental Europe (women’ marches in Spain March 8th ) and particularly if you mention key facts and dates involving the WHO and China you will find yourself moderated.
The herd mentality is clear. They are desperate to use this disaster for political ends. It will backfire big time but along the way they will do real damage to morale and to my country. The BBC is the same. it is not to be forgiven.

I’ve been studying the raw data on the woldometer website. No-one, beeb or otherwise, seems willing (or permitted?) to mention the harsher data.
The generally touted data is that the chance of dying, after contracting the disease, is around 3%. This figure lumps in contracted cases, recovered and died.
However, if you compare recovered against died only, deaths amount to around 20% of the whole. This is a much more alarming and I would say ‘honest’ way of presenting the figures.

I suggest you look again. Look at S. Korea which i consider the most reliable. The active cases are much less and the recovered much higher. In addition most countries have no way of including those who contact the virus but show no or minor symptoms. I suspect these are very many and if we had some way of knowing the numbers would make the fatality rate per 1000 people much much lower.
For me the main problem is that this virus is very very contagious and spreads like wildfire. This makes it a real threat in that it can overwhelm any health service for a time. Hence the lockdowns. It would not necessarily mean that it is more likely to kill . The virus seems to almost explode into a population when it reaches a critical mass. This seems to have happened in Italy for reasons yet to be determind and in Spain where maybe the marches on 8th March for woman’s day involved thousands. We might be lucky . I hope so, I was very opposed to the Cheltenham festival going ahead. That has no doubt led to many more cases than at present we know about.

Sporting classics to fill summer void
Wondering how you’re going to fill the void created by the lack of sport this summer?
Don’t worry, the BBC has a plan (for audiences in the UK).
With the likes of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, the Euro 2020 football tournament and the Wimbledon tennis championships called off, a host of memorable sporting moments will be shown in their place.
These include:
The London 2012 opening ceremony and key highlights of the Games
Matches from Euro 96, where England reached the semi-finals on home soil
Andy Murray winning Wimbledon in 2013, becoming the first British men’s champion in 77 years
The exact scheduling will be announced soon. In the meantime, you can whet your appetite by seeing which classics are going to be aired.

“Singing along with the BBC” ?
IMHO its all about promoting Al Beeb because it knows its under threat of extinction. Hence all the opposition headlines and comments against the present government .
There is a propaganda war being waged against Bo Jo and his cabinet. Presumably Dominic Mckenzie Cummings is aware of this .

just a reminder that a Christian service is broadcast
each Sunday at 8am on all 39 BBC local radio stations.”
Mahgrib the second to final prayer is around 19:41 , 19:50
so that is going to conflict with the enforced NHS worship time at 20:00

The hospital capacity issues in Spain are not new; their ICUs routinely overflow during the flu season. What’s new, as with Lombardy, is the international reporting, together with dislocations due to the lockdown, for example medical staff in quarantine. Examples from past years (there are many more):
El Español, January, 2019
Emergency patients in the corridors: a week of collapse in Madrid hospital
In some corridors there have only been two nurses for thirty patients. Jiménez Díaz, the most efficient public hospital in Madrid is on the list
El Mundo, January 2017
Flu Collapses Hospitals in half of Spain
The flu is collapsing hospital facilities in almost all of Spain. The Influenza Surveillance System of the Carlos III Institute of Madrid has explained in a document that hospital incidents have reached almost 100 cases for every 100,000 inhabitants during the first week of January

Of course I thank every GOOD public servant for their service
I see that noise has been made about doctors who have died
but what about the other NHS frontline staff , paramedics, nurses ?
I started checking
#1 Areema Nasreen died shortly after midnight in the ICU at the Walsall Manor Hospital in West Midlands.
36-year-old NHS nurse, who was believed to have no underlying health issues, has died after contracting #COVID19
“having treated patients suspected of having the deadly bug. ”
#2 Thomas Harvey (healthcare assistant)
“died of coronavirus after being denied hospital treatment.” says TalkRadio
