I have no idea mate but are you saying that article in the link is wrong? I've not researched it, just read it. The article isnt wrong. The point is the article justifies Khan's position. Mr Khan replied: "What we are going to do is make sure there is a good public transport service available for those who need it." i.e. 50% of the normal service. Train Drivers Unions had been telling Khan they cant guarantee a full work force more than a week ago. Those who need it should not exceed 50% of the usual service. To get a grip of this virus we need less than 50% of usual commuters to be using the service NOT more as advocated by Hancock. The problem is Gove coming out and saying 750,000 Financial sector workers should go to work as normal in London. That is not a Stay at Home Policy. That is a deadly Go To Work Policy. That is the equivalent of sending people to Gas chambers. These mixed messages will Kill many of our population, it sounds dramatic but this is the truth, based on all of the evidence we have about this Virus. Mate I'm not getting into a political argument with you. Someone, I can't be arsed to check who, said that Sadiq Khan was claiming he had been forced to cut the underground service because 50% odd of the drivers were off sick, when that linked article clearly demonstrates that it was always Khan's intention to make those cuts anyway. I accept it was the Express but it was an excerpt from a BBC interview. That's all I was pointing out.

You may complain about the UK situation but this fucking idiot over here is contributing 10% towards employee pay in comparison to the 80% being met by UK government.
Everyone will be getting made redundant š”

I accept it was the Express but it was an excerpt from a BBC interview. That's all I was pointing out. I'm also not at all interested in an argument and I apologise if it came over that way, that was not my intention. Absolutely nothing personal. I was just trying to point something that I think is very important that is all. It's nothing to do with politics, or it shouldn't be. Whoever is saying this Khan's intention is being very misrepresentative about it though. The Train Drivers had made it clear more than a week ago that normal service wasn't possible because staffing would drop based on all evidence. So to make it out that it is somehow Khan's masterplan to cut services is just plain propaganda. Even if he did, this message to say we need for trains running (to keep Finance Sector workers at work) is morally wrong and contradictory to what Johnson had made out. The Government needs to back its own message...that is Stay st Home. They are not doing that and people are going to die because of it.

If ever there was a time to 'try' and find some silver linings just be thankful that this person is not directly responsible for running our country. My liberal heart is already at breaking point for the UK, Italy (in particular MilanStokie) and the rest of Europe, but I am dreading what sort of numbers come out of America in the coming weeks. Just how the fuck did this moron end up being the leader of the free world? He has less maturity than that of a 10 year old. Amazing right? He's like your puddled relative you tolerate at family times. Bigoted and daft but too powerful to ignore.

I accept it was the Express but it was an excerpt from a BBC interview. That's all I was pointing out. I was in the same pub as the tube drivers Union reps as recently as (counts) twelve days ago for an emergency meeting. Some of their members had started to get ill, those present were concerned with the impending outbreak but it was the government, not Kahn telling them to keep going. The services were reduced purely and simply at the last minute because they couldn't continue with the same level of peak service. Straight up anecdote. The drivers called it, Kahn responded, but only when he was allowed to. But now we have packed trains. Glad I'm keeping well clear of the underground right now, its a fucking virus nest. But still people pile on the trains.

Trump told Fox News later that he was targeting Easter because it was a "very special" day for him. "You will have packed churches all over our country, I think it would be a beautiful time and it is just about the timeline that I think is right," he said.

I just don't get it Daft. We had a drive to Niagara Falls on Sunday as it was a beautiful day and we're very lucky that it's just up the road. We stayed in the car but it was such a strange sight. Very quiet, even for March and although people were out of foot everyone was keeping a good distance apart. Seeing the main tourist street (Clifton Hill) completely dead was like something out of a movie, and seeing absolutely no one at the border crossing was pretty surreal as well. I don't know what's going on back home, but it's like everyone has gone nuts. Gone nuts? They were already nuts, they're now approaching lunacy!

Latest from Sweden:
The begging EU immigrants from Romania have left our cities.
The national tests have been canceled at school.
They're working on a post test for you to take to see if you already have HAD the Corona Virus. It can possibly be out in 1 to 2 months time.

Matt Hancock in the HOC replying to who should and shouldn't go to work this afternoon ... "I want to be clear where people absolutely cannot work from home, they can still go to work, indeed it's important that they do, to keep the country running."Also: I'm a parent but separated from ex & my child loves with them - can I still see look after them? Govt: No, you can't ... Wait, we mean yes you can ... But you must stay at home. Etc, etc...

Some copy and pasted conspiracy guff below. Proper politics š
WELL PLAYED CHINA.
*SCENE 1 š The curtain opens: China becomes ill, enters a "crisis" and paralyzes its trade. The curtain closes.
*SCENE II.* The curtain opens: The Chinese currency is devalued. They do not do anything. The curtain closes.
*SCENE III.* The curtain opens:: Due to the lack of trade of companies from Europe and the USA that are based in China, their shares fall 40% of their value.
*SCENE IV.* The curtain opens:: The world is ill, China buys 30% of the shares of companies in Europe and the US at a very low price. The curtain closes.
*SCENE V.* The curtain opens: China has controlled the disease and owns companies in Europe and the US. And he decides that these companies stay in China and earn $ 20,000Billions. The curtain closes. How is the play called?
*SCENE VI:* *Checkmate!*
*ReAmazing but true*
Two videos have passed between yesterday and today that convinced me of something I suspected, but had no basis. It was just my speculation. Now I am convinced that the coronavirus was purposely propagated by the Chinese themselves.
At first they were too prepared. Three weeks after the start of the roll, 14 days and a 12,000-bed hospitals were already under construction. And they really built them in two weeks.
Awesome.
Yesterday they announced that they had stopped the epidemic. They appear in videos celebrating, they announce that they even have a vaccine. How could they create it so quickly without having all the genetic information? Well if you are the owner of the formula it is not difficult at all. And today I just saw a video that explains how Den Xiao Ping gave the west a half stick. Due to the coronavirus, the actions of Western companies in China fell dramatically. China I just hope, when they went down enough they bought them. Now the companies, Created by the USA and Europe in China with all the technology put in by these exchanges and their capital they passed into the hands of China, which is now rising with all that technological potential and will be able to set prices at will to sell everything they need to the West. How are you?
None of this could have happened by chance. China who cared that a few old men died? Fewer old-age pensions to pay, but the loot has been huge. And right now the West is financially defeated, in crisis and stunned by the disease. And without knowing what to do.
Masterfully diabolic. It had to be the communists. |
Adding to this, they are now the single largest owners of US treasury with 1.18 trillion holding surpassing Japan. An instrument that has seen the most rally
One ā prospective & Analogy -------_--------------_-------////-////// How come Russia & North Korea have Low or Zero incidence of Covid- 19 ?
Is it because they are staunch allies of China
On the other hand USA / South Korea / United Kingdom / France / Italy / Spain and Asia are severely hit
How come Wuhan is suddenly free from the deadly virus?
China says that the drastic initial measures that they took were very stern and Wuhan was locked down to contain the spread to other areas
Why Beijing was not hit ? Why only Wuhan?
It is interesting to ponder upon.. right ?
Well ..Wuhan is open for business now
Covid - 19 needs to be seen in the backdrop of the arm twisting of China by USA in the trade war
America and all the above mentioned countries are devastated financially
Soon American economy will collapse as planned by China.
China knows it CANNOT defeat America militarily as USA is at present THE MOST POWERFUL country in the world.
So use the virus...to cripple the economy and paralyse the nation and its Defense capabilities.
I am sure Nancy Pelosi got a part in this.... to topple Trump....
Lately President Trump has always been telling of how the GREAT American economy was improving on all fronts and jobs were coming back to the USA
The only way to destroy his vision of making AMERICA GREAT AGAIN is to create an ECONOMIC HAVOC.
Nancy Pelosi was unable to bring down Trump through impeachment.....so work along with China to destroy Trump by releasing a virus.
Wuhan's epidemic was a showcase.
At the peak of the virus epidemic....China's President Xi Jinping...just wore a simple RM1 facemask to visit those effected areas.
As President he should have been covered from head to toe.....but that was not the case.
He was already injected to resist any harm from the virus....that means a cure was already in place before the virus was released
China's vision is to control the World ECONOMY by buying up stocks now from countries facing the brink of severe ECONOMIC COLLAPSE.....Later China will announce that their Medical Researchers have found a cure to destroy the virus
Now China shall OWN the stocks of All Western Alliances and these countries will soon be slave to their NEW MASTER..... CHINA
