mwellhighland Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Can people suggest the best place online for reading news? Also, what's everyone's go to for watching the news? Channel 4? I've always been BBC by default but feel I need to change that... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people wont socially distance they wont wear a mask. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was optional but advised you are probably right. Make it mandatory and they would IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not bothered by the tweets. Fairly certain the "wallet inspector" scene has been mentioned on here a few times and I like that someone has actually gone ahead and made a video if it. That's all.

I think it's too early to be confident about anything. Context is everything Sounds more like the increase in infections came from within the hospital than from outwith. There's also this but no context of how those numbers compare to other hospitals https://www.somersetlive.co.uk/news/somerset-news/weston-hospital-coronavirus-covid-somerset-4162300.amp?__twitter_impression=true The media are desperate for a spike it seems.

Any right to the moral high ground was lost at that point. This is finished. He's staying in his job. No doubt something else will happen soon for the faux outrage brigade to attach to. Hypocrisy does love a cause. What a fuss over nothing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The media are desperate for a spike it seems. I’m not sure how you’ve got to that conclusion from that tweet? It seems like you’re desperate for any spikes that do actually happen to not be related to an event where the public gathered in numbers. I wonder why that is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hypocrisy does love a cause. What a fuss over nothing. I’m only going to entertain one of your points as you are clearly fishing or perhaps hard of thinking. Bereaved families very much have the moral high ground in this shit show and to infer they have no shame is shameful on your part. But I suspect with your rod in your hand you know this. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-52806004 I wonder why this utter non story made the news today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe because I'm capable of reading up on something from more than one tweet? The hospital itself has a bad rep. It's a non-story 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We approached the trust yesterday for comment on those reports. The trust is yet to respond.'' https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol-news/weston-general-hospital-bosses-wont-4166441 Which media are desperate for a spike? You're quote supports my point, thank you. UK mainstream media (an umbrella which the Bristol Post clearly doesn't fall under) are choking for a spike as maintaining the fear level sells papers and generates clicks. It's the reason that the same (false) headlines about Germany were reported repeatedly over a number of days on twitter whilst the positive news is a footnote at best.

Jacksgranda Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 1 hour ago, Ludo*1 said: The latest defense for Dominic Cummings is that Ian Blackford went home to Skye on the 26th March after Parliament shut down. That's how far they're stretching. And they all stayed in the Palace of Westminster, presumably. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hypocrisy does love a cause. What a fuss over nothing. I suspect if it was a Labour or SNP chief advisor, then your position on this would change drastically. His version of events is absolutely farcical and shows they think that they can get out of this situation with a pack of lies. Also, this is far from finished. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be right tbh. Digital revenue must be up though? I don't really understand their negative focus - but it's consistent across the board 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Venom Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 I knew I heard the moral high ground klaxon.In any case, for someone who isn't a Tory, Cummings has a heck of a knack of working for/with them. Probably more a reflection of who he views as degenerate and able enough to further his own creepy ambitions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
