Coronavirus - A pale horse,4 men and ....beer

[Derek27]

They're probably numb to it. After all they had to go through the whole "eat out to help out" event & all the other hokey cokey ins and outs we've had. The whole thing would be laughable if it weren't for the fact that it's destroying lives in numerous ways.

I enjoyed my curries, Wetherspoon meals and regular McDonald's double quarterpounders but I wonder now how many lives it cost.

I wouldn't spend too much time dwelling, you're a long way off Boris and boys when it comes to lives cost.

It certainly killed a few cows.

Diversity Requirements Preventing Retired Doctors Administering Vaccines
https://order-order.com/2020/12/31/dive ... -vaccines/

Doctors are reporting the hurdles they have to overcome to register, including documents on Equality, Diversity and Human Rights, Fire Safety, Conflict Resolution, and Preventing Radicalisation. Responding to a retired healthcare professional who was struggling to sign up to deliver vaccines, the NHS said the stringent process was “in order to recruit a wide array of individuals from a variety of backgrounds”.

Keep clapping.

If those retired doctors are too thick to fill a form I don't think I'd want them sticking a needle in me either.

It's funny how these stories about diversity only come from one member.

If there was an award for Forum Person of the Year 2020 it should go to Derek

Absolutely relentless on calling out stupidity/dodgy logic/bullshit on a daily basis all year long

I agree that he's relentless, but I'm not sure he knows his arse from his elbow.

At least I can read and I don't get all my information from order-order.com. I've posted this information before from their 'about us' page.

Intentions

The primary motivation for the creation of the site was purely to make mischief at the expense of politicians and for the founding author’s [and superfrank's] own self-gratification. At the time most political blogs were, from the author’s viewpoint, too earnest and serious. His intention was to create a more fun, gossipy and acerbic “anti-politics” form of news reporting specialising in tittle-tattle, rumour and gossip. Never having suffered from a lack of intellectual confidence, the adoption of tabloid news values was not embarrassing or accidental, it was a deliberate and necessary step towards becoming popular. The British blogosphere was at that time full of wannabee Telegraph and Guardian leader writers and a lot of “Fisking” – the tedious line-by-line critique of long boring articles in the form of an even longer, even more boring article.

And as I've posted before your typical response is to shoot the messenger (i.e. me or my source).
Yes, the site contains rumour and gossip but also plenty of truths you won't find in your beloved PC MSM.
The story is true.

You're not a messenger because the site didn't ask you to send us the message. You choose to spread, by the site's own admission, gossip, to try and sell your negative views about diversity. You think the mainstream media doesn't cover the stories you like because they're too PC; it's just possible though that they don't cover them because it's gossip, too isolated, doesn't withstand scrutiny, or is just plain bollocks.

People are being advised not to go out to celebrate the new year....by the same man that said it would be inhumane not to allow everyone 5 days of free virus-spreading.

wtf?! that's just the kind of brainless response I've come to expect from you. I give up. Happy new year.

Happy New Year to you too.

If you trade using servants do you manage your servants and take responsibility for your p&l or do you blame the servants. I bet the pm would blame his servants but in reality he commissioned them and is ultimately responsible. Apparently he's our leader... well I'll lead my own destiny, I don’t care to be part of a political tug of war & I'll be entirely selfish in my decisions, we live in a world full of self-righteous individuals who couldn't care less about my opinions, wealth or health... conflicting interests for self serving gain. The few good, kind & honest people are few and far between, most people say one thing to a camera while spending their personal life hiding their sins from that same thing. Us minions are nothing more than sheaple or in this case, lambs to the slaughter house... that is of course if its open.

Deciding who's to handle a problem is handling it.

So no football teams have bad players, they just have bad managers ... no wait, the manager is not to blame it must be a Board of Directors. No, sorry wrong again, it must be the owner's fault ... yes that's it, when the striker missed that goal opportunity we should all blame the club's owner. And there must be a lot of very pissed off goalkeepers. Why are they not given the credit for 'an assist' whenever a goal is scored in a match after a goal-kick had been taken earlier. I mean, if the goalkeeper had not taken the kick the way they did in the first minute the whole of the rest of the game would have been different and that goal in the 90th minute would not have been scored!

For any leader to be able to make every decision he would need to be as knowledgeable as all the experts of all the influences of the situation. I've never heard of anyone who has all those skills at a superior level.

Anyway it never ceases to amaze me why we ever have any crises with all these unqualified, inexperienced 'experts' within our population. I am in complete awe of them. They haven't had any contact with the qualified, experienced experts let alone attended any meeting with them. They haven't had the conflicting inputs put to them by those qualified experts and yet they have the intelligence to know that the decisions that were made in real time based on the facts at the time were wrong and they can prove the decisions were wrong even though they still don't know what the expert opinions were at the time because hindsight proves it.

If these unqualified, inexperienced experts really want to save the country maybe they should give Boris a Servant that can do in real time that what it should have done 1 minute before!

I see our leader has all the skills necessary... one day he appears as PM the next as a Scientist. If he can take the credit, he can take the blame. That's the position he chose, instead of accepting accountability he'd rather hide in a fridge and blame others, I'm using him as an example because he's our current PM but they're all the same, Left or Right. Sell serving wankers who will chuck anybody under as bus to get on first. Sorry i don't share your views... I respect them but I don't share them.
