The Third Man 1,914 Posted April 6, 2021 Just now, TRM said: Just wondering if there has been any update on what the government are doing to increase hospital capacity ahead of a potential third wave at some point in the future? I thought this would be number one on the priority list, seeing as hospitals being overran is the main cause of the requirement for lockdowns to keep cases down? Or maybe they are just adopting the strategy of hoping it doesn’t materialise? They are considering things called nightingale hospitals, but they don't think they will have the doctors and nurses to staff them 2 Share this post Link to post

Wolfsbane 12,420 Posted April 7, 2021 (edited) Former Minister Alan Duncan on Johnson when he, Johnson, was Foreign Secretary and Duncan was his #2 : 'He has a self-deluding, mock romantic passion which is not rooted in realism. He is disloyal. His comedy routine has gone stale, he lacks seriousness in a serious job. He seems to have embarked on a reckless journey into oblivion. He is a clown, a self centred ego, an embarrassing buffoon, an untidy mind with sub-zero judgement. He is a stain on our reputation. He is a lonely, selfish, ill-disciplined, shambolic, shameless, clot'. Not difficult to understand how we're in the mess we are now. The ideal useful idiot for the forces that are driving the agenda Edited April 7, 2021 by Wolfsbane Share this post Link to post

Wolfsbane 12,420 Posted April 7, 2021 After folks have had 2 jabs they are still unsafe to mix with other people, even if the latter have had the 2 jabs. However with a jab passport it's fine to mix as they please. Still think it's about a virus? 3 3 Share this post Link to post
