Seemed a scam meant people not intending to go got huge amounts of tickets in the hope Trump would have no audience at all. Plays into his hands of course when he opposes postal voting.

Oklahoma does have a very low rate of infection, not too sure large indoor gatherings will keep it that way.
What will emerge, is in fact just starting too, is the expected death toll from people who have avoided seeking media a advice due to Virus fears.
Unfortunately, anything that Johnson now says in relation to the virus and distancing, has the depth of a grain of sand; particularly since his gutless support of Dominic Cummings breaking lockdown.Orient Punxx wrote: ↑Tue Jun 23, 2020 10:25 pm And Mr Johnson urged people to be vigilant, saying the virus "wants to take advantage of our carelessness".
Most pertinent thing this tw*t has ever said.
You've been ignoring their advice since March, the same month you said it was just flu and everyone was overreactingNuneatonO's wrote: ↑Tue Jun 23, 2020 10:38 pmUnfortunately, anything that Johnson now says in relation to the virus and distancing, has the depth of a grain of sand; particularly since his gutless support of Dominic Cummings breaking lockdown.Orient Punxx wrote: ↑Tue Jun 23, 2020 10:25 pm And Mr Johnson urged people to be vigilant, saying the virus "wants to take advantage of our carelessness".

That utter charade set the precedence that has led to most people basically ignoring any subsequent advice given by this incompetent, lying Government.
So, essentially, we're going to have provide our own political guidance, since this awful, malignant, cynical, manifestly worse than useless government have decided to abandon the ship of state. We'll have to decide for ourselves what "one metre plus" means; exercise our own caution, take with a Siberian mine of salt anything that thatched sackful of mendacious white dogshit Johnson says. There he was again, lying away, talking about "defeat" of the virus, sneering in that sub-Churchillian way about Labour MPs not having the "guts" to stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood and send constituents to get sweaty, up close and pissed on the Hove seafront.
Sadly, Labour have decided, out of craven expediency and with an eye on the polls and the tabloid headlines to broadly go along with this, even though the scientists are crying out that these latest easing measures are unwise to say the least. And Starmer is being congratulated for this, as if his canny performance and Labour's short term poll ratings are a higher priority than actual opposition, public health, or protecting workers who are going to bear the brunt of all this after July 4.
I have no political representation in England. In Scotland, yes, New Zealand, yes, but a fat lot use that is to me right here, right now.
Look, I dearly wish for things to get back to how they were, for things to reopen and I even accept that at some point we may have to resume life and just take the risk, in the longterm absence of any test and trace scheme or a vaccine. But this latest easing is a wholly political decision, a prompt for Johnson to pose smirking with a pint against a chorus of tabloid hoorahs. I would much rather, more than I can say, that there's no second wave, and that the sanguine mood of Johnson and the Tories is vindicated. But I gravely suspect that this is but the latest episode in this government's box set of complete and utter incompetence. People will die because of this piggy-eyed, psychotic lump of scum. Take care, all of you.

I was talking about people deliberately pretending they don't understand simple messages in order to attack to the government.Mick McQuaid wrote: ↑Wed Jun 24, 2020 1:56 pm Yes, having the expectation of something approaching a competent public health policy is an absurd left wing position and something only an idiot would feel entitled to.
