They'll just lock the results up for 50 years anyway. Pretty demoralising when a lot of them should be jailed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it, people will have forgotten about it, and the Tories pals in the media wont bring it back up. At least people in tin pot dictatorships knew that their countries were corrupt, people here still think they live in a good country where democracy and decency prevails. Most of the tax havens that we are supposed to dislike as a country are British, or formerly in British in one way or another. Its always been about stealing, swindling or gaining whatever money you can, by whatever means possible. We need a revolution, preferably like the ending of V for Vendetta.

phart Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 This might have been the first internet video i saw almost 2 decades ago. Seems rather fitting today considering the conversations the last month or so on Covid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well i think it looks dire as fuck atm. However folk complained the last time of my posts being too negative so i just sprinkled a bit of false optimism on there.

Orraloon Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 It seems that in England the majority of the new cases are still in the younger age groups but in Scotland it seems to be spreading to the older age groups much quicker. It would be interesting to know what is driving that difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will fade in the next few days however it is there just now. It reminds me of the time sturgeon came out after brexit and stood on a platform to call an indyref 2, My feed went mental with folk saying they would not be voting snp Shes getting it hard, I got banned from facebook last night as someone on a post called her a cow, i responded with "you're a cow" and got a 24 hour ban from posting etc, wtf is that haha.

I could see some pissed off SNP voters abstaining, but switching to the Tories or Labour in huge numbers given the recent performance of those parties? I'd very much doubt it. I don't think there is anyone that's the thing, but the snp are defos doing themselves some damage just now. the hospitality industry is fucking beeling which is understandable. 17 hours ago, ThistleWhistle said: Rishi getting the ducks in a row for a staggered re-introduction of full lockdown? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-54481817 Kinda looks like it, grim winter ahead.

phart Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Continual lockdowns are not the answer to bringing Covid under control Countries such as Vietnam and New Zealand are reopening due to robust strategies. When will we learn from them? https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/oct/10/continual-local-lockdowns-answer-covid-control?CMP=share_btn_tw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
