"Was covid waiting all along for her moment in the sun?
Yes, in the Virus forum. Or the Politics forum. One of the fun forums."

They're all too serious for this one she said. |

"Kind of feel Coronavirus is a get out of free card for the Brexit camp. If it's all tits up post Brexit just blame it on the virus. "
That sounds like a typical snowflafe comment, so boring move on.

Yes and they will blame how the pound is dropping like a stone on the virus whilst it was already on the decline before as uk is heading to a recession.

Exactly this.
A bit like blaming your house burning down on the person that walked past with the lit cigarette, despite you are stood there dousing the building in petrol.

Germany was pretty much also heading towards recession too I think you will find, and I doubt France would have been far behind.

Pound was actually doing well after Brexit was announced till Coronavirus got serious. |

If Boris Johnson pointed to some text on the side of the bus promising free marzipan for every Daily Mail reader. Coronovirus would win a referendum with a small majority. |

Stephen Barclay, Brexit Secretary, said yesterday when questioned about it that the Brexit timetable would remain place. What a fucking TOOL.
Boris had already said nobody is working on Brexit right now.
Talk about detached from reality! |

"m barnier has corona virus now anyway.
You can forget about Brexit for a few months, far more important issues to deal with. "
Is the Coronovirus worse for the UK than Brexit. Or just more pressing? |

Corona virus is definitely worse than brexit for the UK, and the whole world for matter, don't really see how you can even compare them together to be honest. |

"Corona virus is definitely worse than brexit for the UK, and the whole world for matter, don't really see how you can even compare them together to be honest. "
Very different beasts. But both very damaging.
One causes an indirect loss of life (through austerity) and one causes a much lower direct loss of life.
Both have a vastly negative impact on the UK economy. One only impacts the UK economy and one impacts the world economy.
Plus the timing. If the Coronovirus hit anytime post brexit referendum, then it's going to be part of the discussion. It is clearly impacting our reaction to the pandemic. And potentially impacting our ability to deal with it. |

not sure I agree with you that brexit/ austerity will cause more people to die than the corona virus, I have a lot of friends and family who are at risk due to their age and health and I am generally concerned for them where as Brexit may have impacted them some way financially it was not liable to kill them. |

Austerity is estimated to have contributed to the deaths of 130,000 people.

Sorry. Forgot, we have to comply, any form of dissent must be stamped out at every opportunity.

I was making fun of people who try to put down anyone who speaks out against the system, against the Tory party, against the ruling classes.
You're all doing a grand job on behalf of our masters and rulers.
If people like you, who think that Boris et al. are beyond critisism, consider me thick. I can only take that as a compliment. |

That's a estimated figure, and austerity was not caused by Brexit, I think after corona is done with us all Brexit/ austerity will be a pin prick compared to how this virus will affects people's lives, Brexit had had no negative effect on my company ( if anything we were doing better) or my earnings but corona has seen me lose shift pay an will be starting a 3 day wk from end of month so I know which one is hurting me more. |

Okay interesting. Especially the first part. I was genuinely asking the question before the trolls attacked.
As for the second part. Although your company may not have been impacted by brexit. Lots have, businesses have left these shores or closed down, it's cost the UK economy billions already, which can only exhaserbate austerity measures.
I don't know what will happen with the virus. I hope it passes as quickly as possible.
Brexit is inevitable though. |

Estimates came from the Institute for Public Policy Research.
And of course it's mostly before Brexit. But flushing £130 billion a year down the Brexit toilet is hardly going to help end austerity. (Bloomberg economics). |

my company is a global company and the EU was a small market for us so guess that's why it didn't affect us, most of our trade is with china, USA, Australia and Canada, and I am sure you are right that Brexit cost billions but i still think it will be nothing compared to what covid 19 will cost us, and the rest of the world for that matter. |

You know that not all people who care about the needless loss of human life are "loony left". Most of us have views from all over the political spectrum. |
