"I just say on testing if people start saying they can't get tests then I believe the government lied. But if they test everyone who asks it doesn't matter how many are tested.

This is the latest: 1: Govt issued rules to quarantine new arrivals 2: Their definition of "quarantine" allows popping out for food, using public transport, and moving house 3: Told us 113 people died the day lockdown was relaxed 4: It was actually 556, the highest for a month 5: Said it was safe to relax the lockdown because infections were down 6: Infections are at least 900% higher than the day the lockdown was started 7: Refused to release a report into high BAME deaths, because there's too much racism right now to let them address race issues 8: Stopped electronic voting in parliament because it's "undemocratic" if MPs aren't standing behind Boris Johnson, yelling during PMQs 9: Italy's parliament has been successfully doing electronic voting throughout the lockdown 10: The Lords are still doing electronic voting 11: Plan to re-open parliament means that to vote, MPs must form a 1.3km socially-distanced queue out of parliament and up the road 12: There are no provisions for ill or vulnerable MPs, so those MPs can't vote 13: So their constituents now have no representation in parliament 14: Boris Johnson was reported as saying Dominic Cummings is on his "final warning" 15: 12 hours later, it was reported the house Cummings visited is his second home, might not have planning permission, and doesn't pay council tax 16: Boris Johnson did nothing 17: Boris Johnson said the public would decide what to do about Dominic Cummings 18: 81% of public think Cummings broke the rules 19: 69% of the public think Cumming should be sacked 20: Boris Johnson did nothing 21: The gov continued to claim it was guided by the science 22: Half of the SAGE scientific advisory committee publicly pleaded with the gov not to relax the lockdown 24: Two SAGE spokespeople openly criticised Dominic Cummings during briefings 25: Boris Johnson did nothing 26: Housing minister admitted unlawfully signing off a dodgy £1bn development by a Tory donor 27: The police have been called to investigate, but he remains a govt minister, in spite of admitting illegal activity and possible corruption 28: Boris Johnson did nothing 30: The govt repeatedly uses the phrase "our apparent success" in tackling Coronavirus 31: We have 65,000 excess deaths 32: This is the highest in Europe, and second-highest daily deaths per-capita worldwide 33: So obviously, we re-opened Ikea 34: The govt said they weren't re-opening playgrounds, because children from different households might wipe snot on the slides 35: They re-opened primary schools, where children from different households wipe snot on literally everything 36: The govt refused to consider delaying Brexit, even though they accept we will not be ready, it will cause a hard border down the Irish sea, and no deal will cut GDP by 10% for a decade 37: This is because they say we can make a great deal with America 38: America is on fire 39: The AI firm that helped Vote Leave win Brexit has been handed a govt contract to handle citizen's data, but nobody knows what it is, because it's redacted 40: The UK Statistics Authority announced the govt is habitually misleading the public on Coronavirus 41: The Health Secretary celebrated a "capacity" of 200,000 tests, but for a week has refused to say how many tests are actually being done 42: We are still counting each person tested as 2 separate tests - one nasal, one throat. So even if it is 200,000, it means 100,000 people 43: We still have no tracing app, the manual tracing scheme isn't functioning, and many of its operators have had only 2 hours training from a promised - and insufficient - 8 hours 44: Matt Hancock laughed for 1 minute and 12 seconds when confronted with this on live television 45: We were told scam calls would be obvious, because tracing operators "speak professionally" 46: The former chief prosecutor Nazir Afzal said: “I spent a lifetime prosecuting people speaking professionally while taking your money and your lives" 47: The Health Secretary said dentists could go back to work, which was a shock to dentists because they hadn't been told they could re-open 48: The lockdown for those "shielding" vulnerable people was relaxed without telling the BMA, GPs, or updating govt's own written advice 48: The Health Secretary said horse-racing starting again was "wonderful news" on the day we reached 60,000 excess deaths 49: The Chancellor said Nandos re-opening was "the news we were all hoping for" on the day we reached 61,000 excess deaths. 50. We relaxed lockdown from Level 4 to Level 3, and plan to relax down to Level 1, on the advice of the Joint Biosecurity Centre 51: Matt Hancock revealed the Joint Biosecurity Centre doesn't exist yet 52: It is 125 days since our first case. We've had 4 months of this I do not think too many people will pay too much attention to someone posting negative posts of this nature on Twitter What does Russ from Cheshire do in real life and has he done anything positive during the crisis or does he just sit back and criticise . The world would be a pretty horrible place if anyone was as negative as him. With his vast knowledge why did he not contact the government at the beginning of the crisis? Just another keyboard warrior . " Ironic you say that.. Multiple profiles and same old head in the sand la la land ignore the facts.. | |||

"1. The govt said “we will work around the clock to ensure nobody goes hungry as a result of this crisis” 2. Four days later the govt ended free meals for the poorest 1.3m children 3. The govt ruled that teachers must wear face-masks on public transport whilst travelling to school “for safety reasons” 4. The govt then ruled that teachers must NOT wear face-masks in schools 5. Matt Hancock said he was “100% guided by the science” 6. A leading govt scientist said the failure to enter lockdown sooner “has cost a lot of lives” 7. Matt Hancock said that bit of science was wrong 8. The govt said nurses had received a “significant pay rise” in response to Covid-19 9. Nurses have not been awarded a pay rise since 2018 10. The govt said “a protective ring had been thrown around care homes” 11. The head of Outbreak Modelling at Imperial College said Covid-19 is still “spilling out of hospitals and into care homes” 12. The govt said “we have now managed successfully to offer tests to every care home” 13. National Care Forum found 13% of care homes had not been tested, and 43% had tests which were void due to testing infrastructure problems 14. Boris Johnson said the lockdown would "remain until the R rate falls below 0.7" 15. The govt announced “R rate is below 1 in each region of the country” 16. In some UK regions, the R rate was recorded as 0.98 17. Serco was granted the contract to do contact-tracing, despite having been recently fined £1m for multiple failures on a previous govt contract 18. The Health Minister responsible for the contract is a former Serco lobbyist 19. Boris Johnson said “decisions will be taken with the maximum possible transparency” 20. The detailed reasons for Serco’s fine have not been revealed, despite a 6-month freedom of information battle 21. The govt said the testing and contact-tracing system would be “world beating” and ready on1 June 22. It wasn't, and won't be ready until Sept 23. The former govt chief scientific advisor said it’s “not fit for purpose” and would miss 80% of contacts with the virus 24.

Suggested reinstating the British Empire in former colonies e. Said “Islamophobia seems a natural reaction” f. Stated that the UK must accept “Islam is the problem” g. Referred to Muslim women as looking like “bank robbers” and “letter-boxes” h. Recited a racist poem in Buddhist temple, and had to be stopped by the British Ambassador i. Called Africa a “blot” and said “the problem is that we are not in charge any more” Back to the main thread... 26. Boris Johnson said racism in the UK “cannot be ignored” 27. Two years after the Windrush scandal was revealed, only 60 of the 1,275 victims have yet received compensation 28. Boris Johnson said “I will not support or indulge those who break the law” 29. Dominic Cummings is still in his job. So is Housing Minister Robert Jenrick, who unlawfully approved a £40m property development for a Tory donor. It was a 1 billion deal and he saved the Tory donor 40 million pounds by approving a day before new rules were brought in 30. The Attorney General tweeted Cummings breaking the lockdown was not be a crime because he acted on “instinct” 31. The Home Secretary said she “understood the instincts” of #BlackLivesMatter protesters, but they had to face justice 32. The govt said destruction of a slave-trader’s statue by #BlackLivesMatter was “vandalism and completely unacceptable” 33. When Boris Johnson joined the Bullingdon club “the whole culture was to exert vandalism - they had to have their room smashed to pieces” 34. The govt (which promised an “oven-ready” deal on Brexit) said the deal had stalled 35. The govt (which said there were no down-sides to Brexit) agreed with the IMF that No Deal would mean a permanent 5% cut to GDP 36. The CBI said Covid19 left companies with “almost zero” resilience to No Deal 37. It is reported Boris Johnson shouted “Christ!” when told No Deal, on top of Covid, would lead to 3.5 million job losses 39. The govt refused to extend the transition period to avoid No Deal 39. In January, Boris Johnson agreed a Brexit Withdrawal Agreement and called it a “fantastic achievement” 40. Boris Johnson now says the Brexit Withdrawal Agreement he agreed is “defective” and wants to change it 41. Britons receiving German citizenship rose 2,300% last year 42. Boris Johnson said “I want to share all our working, our thinking, my thinking, with you, the British people.” 43. The govt is now facing a legal challenge from doctors and other health workers, because it refuses to order and inquiry into PPE shortages 44. And we still haven’t seen the report into Russian interference with the Brexit campaign 45. Boris Johnson said he is taking “direct control” of the handling of coronavirus (it is not clear who has been in control for the previous 132 days of the outbreak) 46. It was reported Boris Johnson takes naps for as much as 3 hours per working day 47. The UK govt now has the joint-lowest approval rating worldwide for how they have managed coronavirus 48. The govt said in March that a coronavirus death toll of 20,000 would be a “good result” 49. The ONS said excess deaths from coronavirus reached have now officially reached 64,000 50.
