Jeremy Corbyn: I should be in the news more.
I used to have a lot of respect for him (despite disagreeing with him on most things) but the longer he's in power the more he slides into populist political game-playing, like the rest of them.
I look forward to the day he returns to quietly work as a local MP, a job at which I am sure he is excellent.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

Yeh, keep spending a fortune so you can deal with something that happens once in a generation, if at all. Typical lefty "logic"bloggoth
If everything isn't black and white, I say, 'Why the hell not?'

I think this is very harsh, he does have a point. We are well behind standard with our public services compared to many European countries. It is Conservative policy to wind down the public sector as much as possible, and it is what our government has been doing for 10 years.
I'm personally fuming about all this pro Trump and pro Boris stuff, we've totally tried to bluff and deny our way out of it. The Lancet editor in chief is totally right.
We got our first case in february - and we are "Racing to get equipment to NHS nurses now, Racing to get tests" - It's going to cost far far more to follow this path. Lockdown straight away, have the kit ready and do it for 10 weeks. Instead we slept walked into being just another country for others to "Learn from".
I can't say Boris was the right choice when we've got NHS nurses greeting covid patients wearing crap plastic dinner lady tabbards and surgical masks. IT wouldnt have happened under a government not ran by an imbecile. Turning down assistance from the EU is also ridiculous.
Now I'm not a labour member or anything, before anyone starts having a go - this is beyond politics to me and indefensible, a scandal.
My disrespect for them is so strong, I'm even (I know, wrongly!) suspicious of Boris , Whitty and Hancock even having tested positive.

On the 24th January the Lancet editor tweeted:
A call for caution please. Media are escalating anxiety by talking of a “killer virus” + “growing fears”. In truth, from what we currently know, 2019-nCoV has moderate transmissibility and relatively low pathogenicity. There is no reason to foster panic with exaggerated language.
So he aint exactly Nostradamus.

But, I can't say anything with any authority on the guy as the first I heard of lancet was late last year ; but it is a very well respected and peer reviewed publication according to wikipedia.
I've been posting a Bill Gates podcast around, where he also makes this point - that it ISNT anywhere near as bad as it could be, but that doesn't mean it isnt serious because of it's contagiousness. If it were something with a 30% mortality rate - which may have been what he was countering.Last edited by Scoobos; 28 March 2020, 13:57.Comment
