UK Government

@Ryannnnnn I'd like to thin so but the tories will be so desperate for a trade deal they will suck up to the chinesse.

I'd like to think theya re but Boris and his government didn't take it seriously and still aren't, to them it was just a jolly joke and to let the masses get it, I.E. the herding idea and you can't tell me that's a govenrment doing well with this.

Key workers, what you class them as?

Honestly saying to get people abck to work looks heartless and very self centerd as here Boris has said the same but he's more concerned at getting Brexit finished than beating this

@milkymum1 Honestly I'm not convinced that anyone did anything out of spite or on purpose, I think everyone has taken this very seriously. Boris's initial idea was a very ill-advised and tone-deaf response for sure but he stepped back from it.

I get it and the reason they want people back in work soon as possible is so the economy doesn't collapse and we have food shortages and evictions. Last thing anyone wants is to be homeless and unable to work or eat during or after this. So it's a difficult line to walk when you think about it, do you keep everyone safe now and let them be homeless and starving or keep us afloat but take the risk?. I don't envy the people making the decisions atm, its the same in the US also. I don't believe people are as cold as you might believe though for sure, I don't think we should jump to conclusions like that.

@milkymum1 Keyworkers meaning nurses mostly. I agree they kept schools open for too long though they stopped it now at least.

@Ryannnnnn Out of spite no but it was the UK government policy so an active descion to do it so lakes it even worse.

He's made a slight change sicne he and Dominic Cummings his senior advisor who now control Number 10 and Number 11 the Chancellior!!!


Well here food is short becuase the government didn't do anything and people were seeing it on the news and took things into thier own hands.

Well the government here had told local councils to hosue all rough sleepers but I'm not sure that's happeend yet.

The government here with breixit didn't care if the ecconemy collasped as it was for Brexit but now they can see maybe that's not such a godo idea and have provided money for businesses

Well when someone like Boris has a proven track record of lying then its hard to beleive anything he says

well here key workers are NHS and social staff, schools and nurseries, Police officers, court staff, religous staff, jouralists, deleivery workers, army and MOD, Firefighters, prison staff, transport workers, infractructure workers like Gas and Elcetric, banks, buliding sites.

@milkymum1 The government definitely cares if the economy collapses, anyone with a family or not does. Nobody wants to starve and be homeless. Also Brexit wasn't the self destruction people made it out to be and it won't be (but we're just getting into opinion debate now so lets avoid talking about brexit lol). I don't know why Boris would lie about something that could kill him and his family, honestly I'm just not that pessimistic.

I wish we'd of closed borders and stopped flights from infected countries when this first started though, I'm pretty surprised actually. Seems a moot point to be isolating when infected people can just come here. They do need to get a handle on the testing situation also, they've set up some facilities as far as I know but they haven't moved on it yet. Luckily that hydrochloroquine combo seems to be promising in terms of treatment so theres some good news for a change. I think we're on the right track anyway, centralised government will always be incompetant but I guess its all we have unless individual communities become completely self reliant.

@Ryannnnnn Trust me the tories certinally didn't with the Brexit refuendum they activly said it will be harder for us, people will lose thier jobs but in the long run we will be ok.

Here we have had Austerity under the tories for 10 years and homelessnees has gone up to about 300,000 people , they really don't care here.

The current tory party are compelty heartless, they introduced the follwoing

bedroom tax, so if anyone had a spare bedroom they have to pay extra tax

cut 20,000 Polcie officers

cut 17,000 hospital beds

stopped 55b of school improvments

230 courts closed

Universal credit was designed to put all benifets into one but was massivley under fudned and takes at least 5 weeks to get any payment

478 liberies closed

600+ youth centers closed

road maintenece we still have roads covered in potholes and nothign is every doen properly to sort it

3.5 million choldren in povity

1.6 million people using food banks

Homelessness the ONLY time the tories took any notice was when Harry and Megan got marreid and they ordered Winder to get them all off the streets so it showed the UK in a godo light.

just to start with

yes Brexit is a differnet subject but all I'm saying is they awere prepeared to ruin the eccomney for that so they don't care

Boris lies he always does, he's a proven lier, he ONLY cares for himself he doesn't even care for his children.

well here after all the fuss with Brexit to take back control of OUR borders all 27 EU countries have closed thier boreders but OURS are still open, we are still takign flights from anywhere in the world with zero checks just a leaflet ahnded out telling people if they ahve these sytmpons to go to Hosptial.

Yes the Malaria drug with another is very positive

sorry its so long a reply
