[thread] on "world leading" border controls
"On that issue, the Government's own scientists Sage said two weeks ago, and I quote, 'only a complete pre-emptive closure of borders or the mandatory quarantine of all visitors upon arrival can get close to fully preventing new cases or new variants'. So, pretty clear. "
If I was a Home Secretary

I would be absolutely intentionally frustrated at the incompetence of a Prime Minister and border controls

I would actually say

The most important thing

Is not to imagine

But to remember

To imagine

Means first you must remember

So join me on a journey of imagination, remembering, anger, fear and inspiration

So first we start on imagination

So

Over 150,000 dead

How do you imagine those numbers?

Of course for each of those 150,000

Leaves behind family and friends

Each of who will be grieving

Just imagine in the midst of pandemic with tens of thousands dead and yet more tens of thousands who are going to die. A comedian joked about letting the bodies piled high

Joking

It wasn't a comedian

It was the Prime Minister
I want to introduce you to a comedy clip of Jimmy Carr

Where he tries to determine where people find a joke too offensive

It has gone too far

Oh and here's an article from a historian about bodies piled high

And

Promises made in the 2010 manifesto
So first off for the manifesto

Does a country have the democractic right to choose to have a referendum?

Yes or No

It's a simple question.

I transcribed Douglas' interview below
If you have answered No.

Why?
