Cashy I had no faith in Sage from the outset….it was loaded with scientists who were not suitably qualified to deal with the issues……it lacked virologists epidemiologists, but was heavy on those who were tightly aligned to those who would profit from this pandemic…..Whitty.Vallance and Van Tham were all heavily involved with Pharma. And of course the Modellers like Neil Ferguson(who has not been even close to correct in ANY of his prognostications)
To me that counts as a conflict of interest.
There were of course other members in the government who would become rich as a result of contracts for PPE….ok, so they were not SAGE members, but they were still promoting and providing the fear generating propaganda.

[QUOTE=DaveinGermany;1263205]So, do you nip off early before closing time to make sure you don't end up with the fat ugly one?

Come on Dave, if I answered that I think that I would be looking at a rather large divorce bill and after being wed for nearly sixty years I could do without that.

What paper bag?

Margaret Pilkington · 30-01-2022, 16:00

Cashy, I looked them up…I researched, I read a lot of stuff….and what I learned did not instil me with confidence in the abilities of those advising the government.
As soon as the first case was discovered the airports should have closed…..all travellers in transit should have had to quarantine for a minimum of two weeks.
It was ludicrous to put infected patients in DGHs……where all wards share the same air conditioning and heating ducts…..all a means of ensuring the transmission of the infection.
All infected patients should have been housed in isolation facilities.

I am not a scientist, but these measures all appear to me to be ‘common sense’.
Yes I know that I will get told that this was an unknown quantity….but being such it should have been treated as if it was the plague.

Oh aye, heard of that, but looking round for a bag while befuddled with Ale isn't really a priority.

Margaret Pilkington · 30-01-2022, 17:03

No son, that isn’t how it works…….weren’t you in the Boy Scouts……you go out ready prepared.
One in your back pocket.

Mi dad had a saying - " Hoo weren't th'ugliest woman Ah've ever sin - but hoo certainly favvered her "

Somebody famous said " Common sense isn't all that common"

Cashy - I think you landed on yer feet.

This will not go down very well with the femanister brigade but I was always led to believe that the paper bag was to be placed over the said "ugly womans" head prior to ?????. By God I think that I will now be in more than a spot of bother with (certain) member?s of this site but never mind.

The truth will always out Taddy, the only complaints you can expect will be from those ugly on on the inside!
