Yes. Strange how overworked they claim to be yet still find time to spend two hours after/ during work to speak to the press. The BMA represent the interest of medical workers. They will never side with the government

It really is a difficult to decide which side to be on - medical workers or the government - literally a toss up.

I want someone to side with the people and in my humble opinion I trust medical professionals more than govt to do that.

An "unacceptable" level of Covid cases means ministers should trigger their Plan B for the pandemic in England, doctors say.

The British Medical Association (BMA) accused the government
of being "wilfully negligent" for not reimposing rules such as
mandatory face masks.

The Government not following the Science again .
These are unions not scientists. Why would a union agree with anything the Government says
The BMA is the TU & Professional body for
Doctors & Student Doctors .

More Guff written by the Trolling Rascal that is George .

The UK has more new Covid-19 cases than
France, Germany, Italy and Spain combined .

Uk has more deaths than france italy & spain combined &
is higher than Germany .

Are you sure its still low ?

Doctors calling for restrictions
is not based on wrong information !

So why have all these Tory politicians voted to allow water companies to discharge raw sewage in our waters exactly?

Question: Why is this sewage discharge issue getting so much attention and traction? Not that I have a problem with the fact that people care about this and are calling MPs out on it, I'm just curious as to why this issue and not so many others?

Coordinated campaign on twitter on a very simple issue.

It puts the Tories in a very difficult position because they voted for dumping raw sewage in the rivers and sea. Why?

It also lays bare the exploitative capitalism of the privatised water companies who don't invest in infrastructure but can pay £59 Billion in dividends to shareholders whilst dumping sh*t and piss in rivers and the sea.

The water companies have been dumping untreated sh*t in the water for years before Brexit and have been fined for it umpteen times. Brexit has just made it worse.

That'll be all the Chinese Bitofacon mining - encouraged and rewarded by some of the folk around here - that's using up all that energy over there. Sad.

Yet more Tory Scandal

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-59049343

Ex-minister Owen Paterson could be suspended from the Commons
for 30 days after an MPs' watchdog found he had "repeatedly"
used his position as an MP to benefit two companies who paid him as a consultant.
