top4718 838 #9637 Posted September 19, 2021 Interesting to read that a Tory donor made £16.4m profit from supplying masks, no surprise they wanted mugs to keep wearing them, talk about laughing all the way to the bank. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Now, about these French public health officials and their press conference announcing the renewal of the mask mandate.......................................

Tip of the iceberg. They will be mandated again soon, late 2021, early 2022 along with a short lockdown. I was surprised they were ditched in the first place to be honest in shops, public transport etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

But PPE in social care settings is different to the public wearing masks in crowded places. You can spot the difference, can’t you?

Tony 10 #9644 Posted September 20, 2021 So on the one hand Boris did Tory donors a multi-billion pound favour by mandating masks. On the other hand Boris dropped the mask mandate to make himself popular. Come on, give your heads a wobble. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Whilst tops might be confused, everyone else objects to the way contracts for PPE were awarded (fast track access to those with links to Tory MPs, etc) rather than whether it was needed. It's not surprising that Boris would drop the mask mandate to make himself popular, his whole bumbling Boris public persona is about making himself popular. It's not like he has ever put great store on being consistent - for example you may remember he was a big fan of us being in the EU and even argued that Turkey should be allowed to join.

The trouble is with what youre doing is mixing real conspiracies that we all know about and know is wrong, such as the tories and their PPE procuring that lead to them and their mates making millions. With outlandish ones that have no basis in reality and are based on lies and dont stand up to proper thinking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
