    On Test counts : I believe that some of the libmob army that occupies and controls our country
    .. are so devious that they would deliberately thwart the test numbers if it meant that would stop Boris getting good PR.

    Just as I believe that some of the cockups to do with Universal Credit cases are lefty employees deliberately trying to make the Tories look bad.

    Former Tory MP Dr Phillip Lee has labelled the government response to Corvid-19 as a ‘spectacular failure’. Dr Lee resigned from the party in 2019 over Brexit and stood for the Lib-Dems in the election where he lost his seat.
    Now then, for those children working from home, please construct a sentence containing the words: pique, spite, remainer, pygmy and political non-entity. Send your sentence on a postcard to The Labour Party, London and the winner will receive a signed photograph of a real live knight!

    @john in cheshire The libmob went crazy calling a daily Express photo about Brighton beach crowds a ‘lie cos it’s a photo from last years Bank Holiday’

    doh yes all newpaper photos are manipulated to build narratives
    but by accusing the Express of using a photo from last year
    .. libmob have lost the plot.

    The photo guy was able to show that photo was really from this weekend cos the ice-cream shop webcam has exactly the same cars on.

    He doesn’t say that the cameraman by taking the photo looking directly down the promenade has made a shot which has a lot of people in and makes those people look much closer together than they are.

    Hacked Off founders Hugh Grant and Brian Cathcart were among thousands retweeting posts accusing the Daily Express of faking a front-page picture
    .. only 3 tweeted the Express’s PROOF that the photo was legitimate

    Having been in self-imposed BBC lock-out, (as I value my mental health), I might have missed it, but has ‘our’ BBC actually reported that the ‘social distancing’ rules around the world aren’t the same.

    Here we are supposed to space out 2metres,
    in Australia it is 1.5 metres and in France, 1 metre.

    Now isn’t that a question worth asking at the kangaroo court briefing session?

    The response from the BBC so far is silence and we all know that BBC silence = refusal to acknowledge = guilt.

    This really does need raising in Parliament, they are supposed to be our National news broadcaster not the organ of the hard-left labour activist brigade.

    They keep going lower and lower, it has to end with their demotion or demise.

      The most effective government action would be to move the 16.30 Coronavirus Update to ITV. Such a simple action would deliver a monumental slap and give the public a much needed confidence boost. This, combined with the PM treating the usual banal ‘gotchas’ with a barked ‘Next question!’ would change the game irrevocably.

    From the BBC news feed:

    Northern Ireland death toll rises by nine
    A further nine people have died with Covid-19 in hospitals in Northern Ireland, latest daily figures show.

    It takes the total number of deaths to 347.

    Northern Ireland health minister Robin Swann said the nation “remains on a knife edge” and urged people to stay home.

    So just nine deaths across NI, yet the province” remains on a knife edge”. Over dramatic, or what?
    Surely more than nine people die in NI every day.
    What’s the betting that all nine had pre-existing medical conditions, were frail and elderly or were a combination of both.

    Liz’s story: A queue which snaked around the car park

    [Photo of a racial minority member here.]

    Liz Sargent, 65, from Shepton Mallet in Somerset, embarked on a 40-mile round trip to Bristol Airport to get tested after developing Covid-19 symptoms only to find herself waiting in a queue.

    [Liz has a big smile and does not look like a virus victim to me.]

    She said: “After 30 minutes we realised exactly how long that queue was

    [‘cos we are not very bright? or fibbing?]

    – there must have been more than 100 cars waiting in a queue which snaked all around the car park.

    “Then people wearing high-vis jackets appeared and started going round cars with a sign saying the testing facility was over capacity and to make an appointment for another day.”

    After trying to book again she was told the next available was on Friday, her seventh day of self-isolation and outside of the testing window.

    “I was left feeling angry, disappointed and very frustrated by this mismanagement and waste of time,” she said.

    [It is 198.3 miles from Shepton Mallet to Peterborough

    Another case of “there is no support from the Government” , and “the Government needs to help”.

    Ha ! this time its from Obesity Uk, – its been highlighted that a third of sufferers of Covid19 are obese. Whether its true or not, a spokeswoman has said ‘we need more help from the Government’. To do what exactly ????

    God on a bike, every whinger from the dancing flea organisation to Posh Spice’s vanity project wants a handout from the government, but its really me, the tax payer.

    Well, if these organisations/charities cant get a handle on their affairs, then they shouldn’t be in existence at all. In Obesity UK, there should be only one mantra – stop the deliveries from Deliveroo and stay away from the fridge.

      “The series said it wanted to promote “gender equality and a level playing field” within motorsport.”

      Bollox, 50% of the best drivers (men) are effectively being eliminated because of their sex.
      In the good old days lap times were recorded, the fastest candidates progressed, everybody else went home.
      If some of the rejects were women, so be it.

      This is the same policy that promoted feeble bodied pussy munchers like Cressida Dick beyond their competence.
      Despite her lack of competence risking the lives of real police officers.

      When John McEnroe stated that Serena Williams would be ranked 700 he was wrong.
      If there were no female only tournaments Williams would not be ranked at all.

    I think the virus came from one of the laboratories in Wuhan.
    I don’t believe it came from eating bats.

    Imagine if there were several world epidemics/pandemics (as we’ve had from Wuhan) but that they had originated in Porton Down where our bio labs are.
    Then, our politicians told you was because the locals were eating hedgehogs and the virus(‘s) all came because of that.
    Would you believe them.

    The Wuhan virus labs must have Mickey Mouse security and the virus(‘s) got out because of their lackadaisical procedures.
    Surely it wasn’t unleashed on purpose!

    I don’t know how true it is but I’m seeing conspiracy posts saying the people working in the virus labs of Wuhan have all now disappeared.
    I’ve seen many posts giving reasons why this is a man constructed virus.
    There have been several fiction books predicting virus escapes from the Wuhan virus labs.

    For me it’s a case of Occams Razor.
    It appears so obvious.

    Obviously the BBC won’t be happy as it looks like Hancock will be very close indeed to his testing target. The BBC thought he would be way away from it.

    So, what does our George ask us at 6pm ?????

    “is it the number of tests that are important or who we are testing”

    I kid you not. So now, after all the hissy fits from the BBC libmob about the 100k target, the numbers weren’t that important after all .

            Of course , our government could be ‘turning a blind eye’, what else could be the reason?
            The more they let in, the more they will come, building up problems for the future when we will hear the often repeated platitude “lessons to be learned”. The Royal Navy and Royal Marines are watching and waiting …………..

    I have posted this before , There is a war going on , a war between Al Beeb and the government. At present Al Beeb is winning the war. Not for long, for I detect that the public are beginning to see “The Emperor’s New Clothes”.

            Yes, I posted something similar to “behaving like a cornered rat ” some time ago . Why hasn’t the government done something about it ? If everyone stopped paying the Telly Tax, the tax that robs from the poor to pay the rich, the war would be over.

    Sweden , apparently, is a great country . The kind of country the BBC likes – in fact – any country is good apart from this one .

    However – it seems that the idea Sweden had of not having a ‘ lock down ‘ sadly – and I mean sadly – has not led to a good outcome – with 2500 dead from covid related causes.

    I’m sure friends here – better on the detail than me can do the numbers but I don’t think it has the makings of a happy story .

    And – perhaps – May vindicate the lockdown strategy …..

      Sweden is 10.5m people so UK is 6.5 times bigger
      meaning UK sized Sweden would have 16,250 deaths
      but we have 26K
      So Sweden is doing better
      but when you go into AllCauses death stats for the last month
      Sweden clearly doesn’t have any deaths caused by delayed operations etc.
      Which actually all it’s neighbours do
      media just point out that for Covid deaths Sweden does worse than its neighbours.

    The racist far-left bbc should release the Balen report on racist far-left bbc Jew hatred and their involvement in the 28gate collusion to spread climate stories in all of their broadcast material. They should investigate the Tommy Robinson Panodrama effort to destroy him with false allegations, smears and HopenotHate bigotry.

      US ‘Intelligence’ which has a record of screwing up which is so comprehensive it’s now difficult to trust their point of view on any subject !

      These were the goons who supported the Shah of Iran – leading to the Ayatollah, Batista leading to Castro, then the multiple asinine assasination attempts on him which verged on comedy in their uttery naivety.
      They started the feminist movement and then lost control of it.m
      Were incapable of giving a kill command when a sniper had Bin Laden in their sights.

      I could go on, but the CIA is a useless crazed organisation staffed by the mentally unsound.

      Just read The Guardian article here on the subject.

      At last all those diversity and equality officers will have something to do!

      I can’t help but feel that if NHS Scotland or NHS Wales were to carry out similar surveys they would find that most staff affected by the virus were born in Scotland/Wales = “Shock horror, most virus casualties in Scotland are Scots, Boris to Blame”.

    Interesting that the Cowardly useless incompetent Tories have introduced 5 tests for lifting lockdown – tests which will almost certainly never be met.

    Reminds me of the 5 economic test Gordon Brown had for monetary union, which as most remember ended in disaster, and we never joined the Euro (or ERM and EMU).

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_economic_tests

    Seems the civil service likes its 5 year plan errr tests so much it repeats them and hopes no one will notice.

      I thought the same when viewing the 5pm update thoughtfull.

      Those five tests will unlikely ever be achieved. I’d guess 3 at best. The country needs to realise we will be living with this virus for ever more.

    I don’t consider myself ‘conned’ at all. I just accept that if they are right 75% of the time, great. No one is perfect, but I certainly don’t hang on every word as though its gospel, clearly the media and others do.

    I use my own judgement and common sense as to what to do. There’s a disease, therefore we shouldn’t mix. And that’s not rocket science. I shall continue to wear a mask and gloves, and if its for 6 months or a year or until there is a vaccine, then so be it. I shan’t blame anyone because they said this or that a few weeks or months ago. Whingeing was never my forte. Just be glad we’re alive.
