Great player, but a horrible loser.
He was fine when his team were winning, but nasty as hell if they were getting beat, which he showed a few times against the Clarets

I criticise specific things. The direction of herd immunity without a vaccine, for example, was a mistake, since acknowledged by the government U-turn. I find there are a lot of people unable to see this and other basic facts for themselves, and it’s difficult having a reasoned debate if something ...

I say this not just because it suits my agenda, but because I think it's a genuine possibility: - Coronacrisis hasn't really hit yet. Boris announces increasingly stringent measures, gives very solemn press conferences etc. Most people think, 'He's got a handle on this'. Boris high in the opinion p...

Not for the first time, you're grasping at extremes to make the government's actions seem reasonable. Read this article for a better understanding of how we could deal with this better: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/mar/25/uk-coronavirus-policy-scientific-dominic-cummings The most ...

I don't know if it's just me, but walking the streets the last few days. The lack of, or lot less traffic, and fewer people. It's reminded me of when I was a kid and you could play in the street quite safely, and the noise pollution has gone. They say sights and smells are great memory stimulators, ...

Herd immunity isn’t a way stop to full lockdown. It’s an alternative approach. The government chose this over full lockdown originally, and then switched more toward a full lockdown - without going as far as a full lockdown. There were still a lot of people on the tube this morning - and that’s bec...

So , using your twisted , desperate, desperate political point scoring logic. Hundreds of thousands die - Boris's fault. Deaths kept to minimum - "Boris got away with it." If only you could see yourselves as others do! Any body got a full length mirror spare for one of the messageboard, Boris Bsshi...

The government did a U turn after Macron and Co threatened to close borders to us and our own Cabinet threatened a mutiny. This U turn suggests that mistakes were made. Those mistakes may, or may not, result in a helluva lot of extra, needless deaths. The buck, as Johnsonkeeps saying, stops with hi...

So criticising Johnson's screw-ups over the last weeks constitutes not supporting the new measures, does it Rigsby ? Only in your weird head. Of course the vast majority support yesterday's measures - who wouldn't ? We're actually discussing how many lives will have been lost, needlessly, through h...

Full praise to everyone who has been willing to put up with the abuse and present a more balanced view of what's going on in the country with this crisis. Should not be about backslapping, I-told-you-so, or any other form of one-upmanship. Doubting that the government has got this right is not a le...

Why is the herd immunity theory now deemed dangerous by that vast majority of scientists, and why aren't the government still trying to implement it? They did implement it. It was always a case, as they stated from day 1, how long they ran with the herd immunity. They decided that this was the week...

Wasn't the govt announcement today essentially that, that through Universal Credit self employed can claim an amount equivalent to SSP.

Must have missed it, my daughters partner is self employed and she asked me to sign it, given the thread title I thought it relevant.

Its improving despite all those cows still farting. Perhaps it really is down to too many people driving too many cars after all

A petition to get the self employed some SSP in these times.
644,000 + signataries so far.
I think the government would have got round to it anyway, but every little nudge helps.

What kind of things were you expecting to find on a thread called "Boris Watch"? :) I've already said I'm not politicising the virus, but criticising government policy. As Ringo might say; "that's democracy, sometimes people have views different to yours". Goodness knows, I've seen lots of things p...

The government received advice from experts, and from that advice chose a plan of action that has since been shown to be wrong, and indeed the government has since changed position from one of letting things take their course, to one of more serious action. The other governments which chose paths o...

Regardless of testing why have Germany managed to keep more people alive to date? Practically everybody who has died, had underlying health conditions. Just as people on here have argued over how many people died of flu. Flu was a contributing factor, but it's also because of those underlying healt...

It could just be down to testing. Even the experts think the number of cases in the UK is far higher than advertised, due to so many having minor symptoms, and dealing with it at home.

I understand the concerns around shops pubs etc but surely we have to look at the bigger picture rather than the financial side. What else should the Government do apart from stopping people going to small confined spaces? When it comes to insurance and payouts what insurance company in the world w...

That's what the scientists must believe because now we're effectively hiding from it and hoping some kind of scientific response allows to come out from behind our sofas. That's not the way I read it at all. They aren't waiting for some new scientific response, they are going with what they have an...

Certainly is. As that says, "The science has shifted dramatically" And it will again, it always does. No one can forecast coronavirus, only hindsight will give us the 'facts'. You make an educated guess, based on the current data, and you play it as it falls. Imo I think I'd have left the tighter r...

Colburn_Claret

No. It's not an estimate. It's a statement of fact. Chuffing hell this is difficult. There is no estimate of future outcomes made. Other than by you. Wrongly. Again. You do realise that its impossible to have a fact and an estimate at the same time. You can have one or the other, but not both

Any Mathematicians here? If you take: (a) the worldwide number of 'recovered' coronavirus patients at 84,492 (b) the number of worldwide dead at 6,705 - then that means 8% is the approximate death rate? I have not counted the 89,520 of 'Active' victims because we don't know which of the two groups ...

Remember listening to the News Huddlines on the radio, driving down to the match on a Saturday morning.

While I come to the same conclusion as you, there's no science that supports your 99.5% figure. That's a huge overstatement. It's a habit I have of trying to put a perspective on most issues, I hold my hand up, but the message is still the same. The number walking around with tin foil on their head...

I live in Hongshan District, Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. At the moment we are under "complete lockdown", since December 21st 2019. No people are allowed to leave the community that they live in.

A few words of caution. The main symptoms of coronavirus are high temperature, difficulty breathing and persistent cough. None of these are symptoms of a 'mild cold'. If everyone self isolated for mild cold symptoms then the whole economy would collapse within a fortnight. Michel Arteta tested posi...

To be fair, has our boy Boris been any better. We are going to keep everything open ,carry on as normal. Within 48hrs footy cancelled but not by the gov. We are going for herd immunity. Going to reduce testing. Due to that decision we will be in lockdown by the end of the week and have no idea who ...

Therein lies the issue to high risk groups. As they are more likely to get the virus then more will sadly die. That is why we should be protecting the high risk groups. School children aren't high risk, so what is the point of closing schools. Footballers are fit and healthy, so what is the point o...

Flu does not come even close in regards to this..you are way of beam on that. sadly the fake news that came out early on by people saying this is no worse than flu has done a lot of damage and mislead a lot of people into thinking this is not as serious as it is The symptoms, effects and death rate...

If we were only 12 games into the season I could see a problem, but 29 games in. 9 games to go, they could be all played in a 3 week period, behind closed doors if the problem drags on. Although I dont like the prospect of playing behind closed doors, if scrapping the season altogether is the altern...

Glad in one sense, it explains why his form plumbed in the second half, and he did take a couple of nasty tackles 1st half. I hope it doesn't turn out to be another precautionary action that lasts 4 weeks, we need him.

They may be a normally a good defensive side, but Liverpool still managed well over 20 chances before the 90 minutes were up. And managed 11 chances on target. They are a good defensive side, which is why you are missing the whole point of Simeone and Dyche system. Liverpool had over 20 chances in ...
