wow - they are strict over there. Nothing like that here where I live.

Re: Coronavirus
 

:nod: $700 to $5,000 fines for not social distancing when outside.

Re: Coronavirus
 

We are lucky so far in BC, but BC Gov't seemed to start things earlier to try and prevent what is happening elsewhere.

I do think the early messages before spring break in BC telling people to avoid non-essential travel, to avoid travel outside of Canada including the US might have made a difference in BC.

The death reported today in BC, was a man in his 40's, and he died at home.

Did you see this? They should get danger money if it gets any worse. https://www.washingtonpost.com/busin...-coronavirus-/

I dare not show my Wife, things aren't as bad up here thankfully.

Re: Coronavirus
 

He's a fat drunk in his mid-fifties. He smokes and is rumoured to have cocaine habit. Hardly a picture of health.

Re: Coronavirus
 

Wow....

​​​​​So, you have intimate evidence of the above? Or is it yet another of your crass posts?

Re: Coronavirus
 

I...erm... hesitate to ask but do you have any sources to back those claims up? It is obvious from looking at him that he could do with shedding a few pounds, but whence the cocaine habit rumours?

Re: Coronavirus
 

He's observably obese. He's often pictured staggering around drunk, for example after his trip to Italy with the Russian mafioso and in factories on his Brexit tours.. He says he smokes cigars though whether him saying something is true makes it more or less likely to be true is arguable. That's much is a matter of public record. Cocaine, just a rumour and stated as such.

There's nothing crass there, the man's a walking advert for pancreatic cancer and heart attacks. Admittedly it's more likely that one of his abandoned children will come back and kill him than the cancer but it's not unfair to say he's extremely unhealthy.

Which would you say was my most crass post?

Re: Coronavirus
 

Here's Boris doing the walk of shame: https://www.theguardian.com/politics...-perugia-party

I trust that adequately supports the suggestion that he's a drunk.

Re: Coronavirus
 

Here he is getting the cocaine rumour rolling. He says he only smoked weed and didn't succeed with cocaine but it's Boris, how much of that are you going to swallow:

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/p...n-9804489.html

Note that I don't think him worse for doing these things, they just suggest that he's not healthy and so likely to kick the bucket.

Re: Coronavirus
 

Here he is changing his mind, cocaine was a thing for him: https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politi...dmits-16517649

Of course his claim is no more credible than his denial. We've no reason to believe a word he says.

Re: Coronavirus
 

This is a known associate of Johnson. He surely enjoys the Bolivian Marching Powder. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/927538...caine-scandal/

For a sober man Johnson mingles with some shifty characters.

Re: Coronavirus
 

I’m strongly with dbd...absolutely nothing to prove it but would you want that prat looking after your children/country? Let’s get into navel gazing at its enth...the answer is NO. I wish the man no ill...but my country needs someone to pull it together in a big way...

Re: Coronavirus
 

That'll be Dominic Raab for a couple of weeks then the bookies say Sunak.

I should ne clear. Johnson being a feckless drunk careless with his health makes him likely to die of CV. That's not what makes him a terrible PM.

Re: Coronavirus
 

This thread has left a bad taste in my mouth.
Whilst I might have, like many, criticized the man while he was careering around doing what he did, I'll not sink to demonising the man whilst he lies on what may very well become his death bed.
There'll be those who'll claim self righteously, 'But I'm only telling the truth', well I'm tempted to suggest that, like the noble publications they quote, they do it so well.
Let those without sin.......

Re: Coronavirus
 

I'm not demonising him, This isn't about his evil politics. If I was in the hospital then my life, as lived, would count against me too. Some people choose to try and live a long time. Some don't. He didn't.

Re: Coronavirus
 

I speak as I find.

Re: Coronavirus
 

He was sent to ICU as a "precautionary measure"... I do hope he's not keeping a needy and deserving patient out of a critical care bed.

Re: Coronavirus
 

Certainly is a lot of vitriol on here. Wow.

Re: Coronavirus
 

Johnson deliberately chose to forge a journalistic career, a political career and a personal life based on a foundation of lies and blatant self-interest. And now suddenly we're expected to wish him a speedy recovery back to the place he never ought to have been near?

I don't wish him dead; I just don't want to see him back in office telling more lies.

Re: Coronavirus
 

Oh, I don't think we need fear him returning to power. The Conservatives are vicious and the knives will be out for him. If he doesn't die he'll do well from this, he can go back to peddling lies in the papers and won't be held to account for his lunatic economic policies.

Re: Coronavirus
 

Ahhhhhh. The intolerance of the "tolerant". Nice to see that BE is back to normal.

We got a long weekend with four days at home, woo hoo :rofl:

Re: Coronavirus
 

Are you related to Titania? :lol:

Re: Coronavirus
 

From her Amazon page..I'm guessing many things in life enrage her and she has a burning desire to tell the world about it all through the wonderful world of twitter and the like.

Biography

Titania McGrath is a radical intersectionalist poet committed to feminism, social justice and armed peaceful protest. A regular on the live-slam poetry scene, Titania regularly performs at arts festivals, deconsecrated churches and genderqueer spiritual retreats. Her unique blend of art and activism has been variously described as 'inspiring', 'groundbreaking' and 'woke'.

Re: Coronavirus
 

Hmm....sounds like one of these permanently offended people.......

Re: Coronavirus
 

seems more as though even amazon bios require the :sarcasm:

Re: Coronavirus
 

Oh dear, Paul and partially discharged... proof yet again that conservatives don't have a sense of humour ;)

Re: Coronavirus
 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titania_McGrath Duh, I see it was a parody account. It was so close to actual descriptons I've seen by people who are enraged about everything. A City Councillor here is like this..everything offends her, she is firmly in support of any form of poverty porn, and wouldn't know a job creating opportunity/business/project if she saw it..and then she wonders why property owners etc never meet with her or brief her on projects in her ward.

Well I have been well and truly hoodwinked....

Ontario 4,726 cases - 153 deaths... Quebec 8,580 cases - 121 deaths. - looks like the death rate in Ontario is the highest in the country :(

Vancouver Park Board is closing Stanley Park to cars in an effort to reduce how many people go there. Staff have issued 1,600 warnings to people not maintaining proper social distancing.

Interesting article, touches on some of the differences between BC and back east.

Re: Coronavirus
 

4 new deaths in BC.

Hospitalizations are down a bit to 138.

25 new cases in the last 24 hours.

1,291 total cases confirmed of which 805 have recovered, and 43 have died.

Dr. Henry provincial health officer is happy to see religious leaders doing virtual celebrations for the various holidays coming up.

4,549 hospital beds are currently available.

Travel between Alberta and BC is a concern.

BC doesn't have an urgent need for ventilators but could change in the future.

Oh no! really ?. ...normally when someone creates a parody, its one for obvious comedic value, but nowadays....who really can tell?? this looks like a pretty "normal" modern day outraged and offended social media person to me. :rofl:

Re: Coronavirus
 

It's certainly not a modern thing... compare it to how clever the Alf Garnett character was because so many people did not see that it was a parody.
