MP tests positive

I'd say that the presence of the smiley clearly indicates that it was a joke.
A joke that I might add has been used on several American late night shows already in relation to their politicians.
If you really think that Lefty is genuinely wishing ill on anyone then I think you need to address your own political bias as much as anyone.
 
French minister of culture (Arts) has it too. What are the odds on that? I thought that only 0.015% of the population had it?
 
Well seen as you don’t own this board or makes the rules I’ll comment as I say fit

In Coopers defence he probably sees a difference between the Tory style blanket inhumanity in that the policies he supports lead to suffering and misery for the more vulnerable members of society and the specific inhumanity of wishing Ill of a single individual. I imagine being able to make this distinction helps him and his Tories sleep at night.

Hardly you’ve spent today bashing the government over the handling of this (people who normally agree with you dont) virus and now instead of putting politics to one side you choose to have a pop at me.

Oh FFS! I didn't think it needed the smiley but then I thought I'd better put one in because there is always some knobhead. Step forward you.

I spent 8 hours in a packed A&E on Sunday helping my paralysed, housebound 85 year old dad, suffering with a respiratory disease on top of heart failure and bronchiectasis. They sent him home with me because there were basically no beds free. Yesterday the matron came out and insisted they admit him to the acute assessment ward immediately, spoke to the consultant there and called an ambulance. He shouldn't have been sent home, the antibiotics they gave us weren't strong enough, he was now in serious danger of pneumonia, he needed to be on a drip and given morphine for the pain which he rated, on a scale of 1-10, at 10, just to breathe. So it was another fun day. This morning he was transferred to the isolation ward because that is the policy now for anyone with respiratory conditions. I won't be able to see him tonight. Tomorrow, maybe, wearing a mask and a gown apparently, I will.

So, I suspect, I'm more acutely aware of the seriousness of the current situation than most, because if anyone gets coronavirus and has contact with my dad, including myself, it's almost certainly a death sentence, if he even survives this. I reckon I have an idea what Dorries is feeling, but it ain't going to stop a bit of gallows humour. It's a very British trait, doncha know? You should be in favour of that, shouldn't you? ;)
 
the government taking advice from experts, i tjought they had had enough of experts, or were they the wrong sort of experts?
 
I don’t live for bites at all but if that’s your view then that’s fine. Wish your dad best or health. I lost my dad 29th Dec 2017 aged 62 so i hope your dad gets good health.
 
Best wishes to your Dad Lefty I hope he’s on the mend ASAP.

Sorry about the loss of your Dad too Cooper, lost mine just over 3 weeks ago and it’s without doubt the hardest thing I’ve ever had to deal with.

We all get entrenched in our views sometimes but let’s remember we’re all decent people and Boro fans.

UTB
 
Yeah to me it didn’t hit home till a while after. I was only 33 so felt like part of my adulthood had gone. My daughter was 3 so she remembers him but still asks questions as she doesn’t fully understand
 
She should be, as should every person who is sick should be in all circumstances. Or she shouldn't, as the majority of people in this country wouldn't be.

Let's have a vote on it as she did
