    I know they are getting tiresome but I can understand why this one would get posted. Did you know about this before - there was no mention of it on any news programs last night that I was aware of
    If its not on the main news how else do you find out about the fact that 331 Tory MP's voted NOT to test NHS staff weekly - I would love to know their argument for voting against weekly testing because I am struggling to think of a good one

    I simply repeat: this is the most duplicitous, lying, corrupt, unqualified, inept, ill-informed and uncaring government in the history of this, and probably most other, countries. An absolute pox on anyone and everyone who was dumb enough to vote for them at the last election. It wasn't exactly difficult to see what you were going to get!! May you reap what you sow, you dumb *****

    Trouble is that everyone else reaps what they sowed as well and I am guessing that the majority of NHS workers didnt vote for them which could be a factor in the government deciding they arent worth testing

    You'd be amazed who voted for them. The filth press did such a successful assassination job on Corbyn that huge swathes of previously sane people found themselves with nowhere else to go.

    Anybody surprised about this needs to give their head a heavy smack never mind a shake... It's the NHS and its staff for crying out loud... Folk will wake up once it's too late to save it... The Tories don't want to save it never mind fund it

    Baseline cost.

    The fact that it would save money in the long run is neither here nor there as Tories only seen the up front cost.

    I've just read through the whole debate on Hansard - **** me considering the quality of debate on here -well at least on here it resembles debate.

    But to summarise - Seems that there's no real evidence that this would actually be an effective use of resources - or none that was brought to the debate FFS.

    Everyone agreed testing was as good thing - but this untargeted blanket testing had no basis at this point of being an effective exercise ( if they hadn't wasted so much fecking time spouting about their own heroic hospitals efforts then maybe we could have learned more and been more convinced - at least those of us who have no technical expertise could form a more educated view.)

    One great point from Steph Peacock. Really impressed by her input.

    She argued that both Covid 19 AND any underlying industrial ailment should be listed on the death certificate - not one or the other.

    So that miners with emphacima which Covid tips you over the edge would get both causes.

    She even had a second go to ram home the point. Good work !


    My conclusion is this debate was brought by the labour party not to introduce testing but in full knowledge that the tories would vote it down - and they get a great headline for all the haters to hate. congrats labour - job done.


    For those of you in need of sleep.

    Horse has bolted. And you all just shrugged when they enforced lockdown and opened the floodgates to riding roughshod over the rights we’ve all enjoyed for centuries.

    That’s ******** though, really. They’re not all as bad as each other. Everyone knows that. Another bit of lazy, cliched whataboutery.

    So let's say for example that we have two MPs. One -we'll call him Norris Bobson - makes racist comments, homophobic comments, sexist comments and islamophobic comments and another MP doesn't do any of the above. How exactly are they both as bad as each other?
