Five Weeks Of Lies

[teacake44]

For five weeks now Matt Hancock has insisted that there wasn't a shortage of PPE, nearly every hospital and care home in the country was saying there was, he also insisted that it was a logistical problem only, and that was with 20 thousand army personal drivers ready to deliver. When the army joined us, we were told, this is what the army are brilliant at ( logistics ) ?

Today he says he wished he had a magic wand to produce PPE. When will Mr Hancock face up to the fact that the UK was oh so slow off the starting block, and the cost of that, was peoples lives, especially NHS lives. When will he start telling the truth, ( never).

They've also been telling us that we don't need to wear a face mask,(now their thinking about it), but waiting for the science to tell them. Common sense tells me that face masks can help stop the spread of the virus, if they didn't, then the rest of the world wouldn't be wearing them, or nurses wearing them in hospital or care homes, ( when they can get them) We all know about the top of the range mask that they need to wear in ITC, but the rest of the nurses are wearing bog standard face masks.

There are now UK manufactures pulling out all the stops to produce PPE, they say they have be ignored by Matt Hancock for weeks now, even after making it known to him that they could make what was required. How many more lives need to be lost before they supply the nation with face masks like every other country is doing.

I've changed my mind about Mr Hancock,( give someone a chance to get sorted,) he's had five weeks, and all we've had is five weeks of lies. Whatever advice he or the government give out, I for one will take with a pinch of salt, and do my own thing.

‘ Oh right, zacs.’
Oh right indeed. It’s your beloved Trump’s handling of the situation which has led to this. Have you looked at the stats for the US today? Do you know that, in spite of the stats, Florida has today reopened the beaches?

[naomi24]

Why rant at me? I can't change it.

[Zacs-Master]

I’m not asking you to change anything, just don’t post unsolicited facts which make you look daft.

[jim360]

That's her thing, though. Along with consistently undermining everybody else's opinion.

[douglas9401]

MAGA. That is all.

[naomi24]

I haven't posted unsolicited facts. The only one here making themselves look daft is you.

[Zacs-Master]

Then why quote Gove?

[Zacs-Master]

naomi24 //Michael Gove has warned the public to limit daily walks to a maximum of an hour //

[naomi24]

^A direct quote from the Daily Telegraph.

Jim, that's pathetic. Man up.

[Zacs-Master]

A,quote from the Telegraph which you thought good enough to support your argument, which has since proven to be one persons opinion rather than official advice.

[naomi24]

Yes, it was one person's opinion, but it's what the Telegraph printed. As I said on the other thread next time I'll call the editor to check he's got it right.

Incidentally, zacs, you've got your threads crossed here ... in more ways than one.

[ladybirder]

The BBC says the same>
//No mention is given to how long you can exercise for. But Cabinet Office minister Michael Gove has suggested a walk of up to an hour, a run of 30 minutes or a cycle ride of between the two might be appropriate for most people.\\

[Zacs-Master]

You do that, Naomi. The rest of us will rely on facts.

[naomi24]

Ooooo ..... best you don't read newspapers then - not even reputable newspapers.

[Zacs-Master]

I don’t. But thanks for the advice.

[naomi24]

You're welcome.

[ladybirder]

Did anyone notice my post @ 00.17?

[Zacs-Master]

Yep, it said Gove’s advice was a suggestion.

[naomi24]

Thanks LB.
