Very Interesting Indeed

[teacake44]

Just finished watching dispatches on TV, the truth to why this government have made such a cock up of covid, like gully has been saying for months now, contracts to companies that have high profile connections, even one company involved with the jockey club. Now we know why they allowed the race meeting to go ahead just before the first lock down. Disgusting!! The cons conning everyone, and feathering their own nests.

"high profile connections, even one company involved with the jockey club. "

There has to be a Stewards Inquiry!! ;-)

[bobbinwales]

And what connections caused them to let liverpool play that Italian team. A think your reading to much into it. More likely incompitence or just the fact that noone in the west had experience of a pandemic and the public wouldn't of accepted or believed it was necessary at the time. Apology s if you asked at the time for that horse race to be cancelled_ got a link?? So many post with amazing hindsight. A usualy agree with you 100 pacent teacake but am not sure at all about this jockey club link which is clutching at straws

[KARL]

The sheer size of the mess knocked me back (incompetence, vested interests, etc. yes, on that scale ?) but was anyone seriously surprised that there was a mess ?

[ToraToraTora]

left wing program on TROB TV channel dig up dirt on Tory Government! Perlease!

[ToraToraTora]

I can't wait for their expose on Labour!

[ichkeria]

I didn’t see it all but I was interested in the bit on Randox where my brother in law used to work. He hated it so much he left despite getting a promotion!
I’ll try to watch the whole thing later. There is certainly an intriguing web of connections.

[teacake44]

Whats up TTT can't you bare watching the truth, What was said in that program was truthful and lawful to expose, do you see any ministers involved, or the companies taking dispatches to court, NO, that speaks for itself. And its no good you keep harping on about labour to me, I've never in my life voted labour, but that's going to change if only to get these crooks and scammers out who have put their pockets first before lives.

[teacake44]

Does the lack of posts mean that you have now all got the message at last. :0)))

[TrevorThePug]

Truth is hard to hear, so they will either ignore it or dismiss it as 'lefty nonsense' through limited cognizance.

The biggest problem will be paying back the debt on all those huge contracts. Income tax is going to sky rocket over the next few years.

//...or just the fact that noone in the west had experience of a pandemic//

But they did. The twentieth century was littered with pandemics, the most recent of any significance in 1957 and 1968. So anyone aged around 70 or older would have experienced the 1968 pandemic as an adult. On top of that, those around who by now have died probably recorded somewhere what they did in response to it. And I can assure you they did not close the economy, the education system and the health service (to those not suffering from the virus).

1968 - yeah taking my a levels
and we were told specifically that it wasnt a pan demic
as the olds at that time cd remember the 1918 flu

which WAS like a thunderclap - everyone got ill at the same time (" Tuesday night, spanish flu hit the camp...")

[Unsureme]

I had Asian Flu in 1958,nothing closed in those days,of course there was very little TV and NO Social media.

[ToraToraTora]

bit of a TROB love in going here I see!
TC you are so gullible: Dispatches! Perlease! "What was said in that program was truthful" - well at least the bits they wanted to report!

[ichkeria]

Did you see it Tora?

Trevor @16.59: /Income tax is going to sky rocket over the next few years./

Not just income tax Trevor; VAT, tax on petrol, NI contributions, removal of VAT relief on some zero-rated products. Yoos is gonna pay!!! Bojo the Clown will see to that.

[bobbinwales]

Not sure it'll be Bojo the clown as you keep calling him since your wierd slovakia thread as he'll probly of moved on blaming maybe health before we after start paying this back which wont be til at least 2022, but if its any consolation every countrys in the same boat as they've all spent loads as theres no alternative in the real world away from keyboard warriors

[ichkeria]

The undercover footage of the testing at Randox was shocking

[bobbinwales]

Asian flue was when a was in short pants and a dont remember it. Am pretty sure that altho it was a killer it was nothing like corona deaths so a false comparisson?

[10ClarionSt]

Bob, stop posting in Welsh.

[ichkeria]

Regardless of the stuff about the jockey club and Dido Harding, Randox and the grand national, the key thing here really is that the people who are/were doing what they are doing are simply not very good at it.
Maybe there’s no one better
I don’t know
