General Election 2020 Part 2

Cargo.

Has traffic not reduced massively? Both flights and numbers on the remaining flights?

Cargo

Not cargo. Passenger flights

…ything different to how another government would have acted, if one had been formed.You make the point that we were one of the first to close schools. Why the lag in time until the introduction of the later measures, until the point where we were one of the last to introduce the last few restrictions?

Your initial and only subtext was that you hate FG and despite a largely good job being done to date you wanted to dilute it as either just what others would have done or just following advice.

Grand stuff - at least we all know that if it turns to shit you can’t really blame them either

That’s exactly it, yes.

[Batigol]

Numbers yes. Very few on flights. But still flights coming from France, Germany, Portugal etc

The issue is that anyone can board these flights.

[glasagusban]

Few enough in fairness. Can’t turn these things off overnight.

…tively … but that’s for another day/thread.Our response has been decent since we kicked into gear but the inaction at the start has cost us - but hopefully not too much - luck seems to play a part in this thing as much as any thing - and the fact that 74% of us wash our hands has played it’s part too.

Quick tip buddy - usually only Sid bothers writing posts that long and most people don’t bother reading them.

Less is more if you know what I mean.

Shutting borders to the UK, EU or US would be hugely political decisions with potential long-term negative consequences.

[Batigol]

No I agree. But some simple questions to people who are boarding, especially non-eu passengers would greatly assist everyone.

I’ve encountered way too many people landing here over the past few weeks with literally nowhere to go, stay, work etc.

Are Sinn Fein in power yet?

[Thomas_Brady]

Fuck FG.

[tallback]

@Thomas_Brady

Fuck FG.

Perfect - I knew you’d benefit from my advice

I’ve got your e-back pal

[Thomas_Brady]

No. The blueshirts are using the current crisis to subvert power. It’s one of the most treasonous acts the state has seen.

Just a little interjection there - you don’t actually recognise the state and essentially support its subversion - I’d suggest you don’t reference the state as a result or at least clarify which subversion you support and which elements you find sub-optimal

We’ve had a month to turn them off, you’re saying we were slow to close schools but shrug the shoulders at people landing into the country from infected areas and we are in lockdown.

[Thomas_Brady]

How do you know what I do and dont recognize? ---- regardless, i can still make the statement to ladybird it for thick cunts like @Locke

I supposed you supported the SF position. My bad.

[Thomas_Brady]

I’m my own man, pal. You should give it a rattle some time!

… closed and the lag again until restaurants were closed was very unusual, can’t say all countries but my impression is that others were faster to take these two steps.If you want a list of the dates each country introduced each measure up to and including lockdown, I’m sorry I don’t have that to hand.

Badly caught out here.
