Over here in Ireland we're about a week or so ahead of Scotland. Expect loads of these rumours. Your WhatsApps chats will be spreading it no doubt. Also expect government messages telling you to only trust official sources and ignore the rumours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exile Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) 6 hours ago, wheres the pies said: Apologies your right those are not correctĀ No probs. It's difficult filtering the truth when the leaders of the two biggest (fake) news-generating countries are habitual liars. One of the problems pointed out is that the UK Government is still in its usual communications mode of trailing, leaking, hints via journalists, to friendly newspapers, etc. So they don't say what they are doing but hint they might. So they said something about possible travel restrictions and military backup, and by Wednesday evening #lockdownlondon and #lockdownUK areĀ trending.Ā Also it doesn't help when our famously lying Prime Minister's dad is given a platform to contradict (or at least risk confusing) the PM's advice on social distancing and not going to pubs, and - shock horror - it's treated as entertainment. Ā Also let's not forget this. Either he shook covid patients' hands and has been spreading / endangering, or else he lied about it.
