"What isn't funny though, is when you realise it is taxpayers money that is being wasted."

I am not particularly worried about the money Tuffers, its the huge number of unnecessary deaths that this Government is responsible for that I care more about. In times of panic money will get wasted on the fight to get on top of things, there were millions spent on wacky ideas in WW2.

How we have got to a worse death rate than the USA and anyone else is shocking, Trump and his minions don't care how many people die and we are still beating him. In other countries the medical systems are inadequate to cope with the crisis and we are still beating them. There are many scientists calling for an interim enquiry so that the failings of the First Wave are not repeated when the Second hits. I am all for this.

Whilst I agree that one death is too many, the actual number is far far lower than what is being told to us. If you tested positive at some time in the past and then die later of something else you are classed as dying of covid. What a load of rubbish.

What you have seen since this started is people’s right to free speech being taken away, mass control of population and scare stories galore.

If you are fit, well and healthy this virus should not really bother you, if your immune system is compromised then this virus is a potential killer.

Couple who claim they saw Dominic Cummings on second lockdown trip complain to police watchdog.

Number 10 are under pressure to produce the evidence Dominic Cummings did not make a second lockdown trip after new witnesses make claims

Come on then Johnson ........let's have the proof then.

Oh no, you daren't provide it. Cummings has probably got enough on you alone, to bring your entire Government down. Added to which you are a gutless spaffer that needs to grow a pair!

[Rich Tea Wellin]

How anyone can trust this lot is either stupid or in denial. Just the very very basics which will have cost lives. No doubt they were lining the pockets of their mates as well.

That maybe so now, but is it going to continue in the future when the Cold and Flu season comes along? Both of those can lay anybody low with chest infections, not something you want with Covid around.

A very good article.

To paraphrase a poignant statement from James O'Brien from earlier this week - "if you have shares in Rishi Sunak, now might be the best time to sell".

How do you prove that you didn't do something?
Surely these 'witnesses' need to prove that they did see him out a second time?

[Long slender neck]

He could show evidence that he was somewhere else at the time or show his location history from his phone.

What if he has a second phone?

How do you prove that you didn't do something?

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/20 ... o-10-urged

Quote: The prime minister’s chief adviser has said that phone data and potentially CCTV would prove he was in London – and the Guardian has been told of one sighting of him on Hampstead Heath that afternoon. However, neither he nor Downing Street has gone public with the evidence they say they have – and which Boris Johnson says he has seen – and pressure is mounting again for full transparency to answer lingering questions about his movements.

It's 'oven-ready' for the hedge fund managers, Russian oligarchs, money launderers, smugglers, people-traffickers, etc.

The rest of us will be sharing a Pot Noodle from the local food bank.

Those stats are from 2015/16 and are the amount overclaimed minus the amount recovered, which isn't the same as fraud. Overpayment of housing benefit accounted for about half of all the money lost, the payments going to the landlord rather than the person claiming benefits.

Of the remaining benefits the overpayment rate was estimated at just over 1%, for disability benefits (where there was the highest number of 'tip offs' by members of the public that someone might be committing fraud) it was estimated at less than 0.5%. Despite public opinion, especially amongst thickos like Thor who has repeatedly demonstrated what a thicko he is, it is in no way a 'massive issue.

Now for Dohnut to do his thing of saying lies, lies and statistics l, despite him being the person trying to use them as a basis for his argument.

Hi Mick,

You have just been grassed up by Tuffers for calling Thor a thicko and I have to agree it has spoiled a good post. Please consider this a warning.

Given your history of about 20 years of trolling on here, you can stick your warning up your arse.

What Free speech has been taken away?

[Mikero]

Thats not an attempt to take away Free Speech, its trying to cover-up for the incompentence of the Cabinet, haven't you noticed Thor?
