Hang on. Are you suggesting that the British Government are paying the *checks epg* 26 news channels that I can receive plus all the papers, plus every radio station, plus every internet outlet?  I never realised our influence stretched so far. It’s no wonder we’re skint.  Do you check under the bed before you get in? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

You always kop out of saying what you judge a pandemic to look like,I think you have no idea what it means. Â Back in March last year the media was picturing people dying in the streets in China, lines of coffins in Italy and Spain all planting fear into peoples minds - all absolute nonsense.

I do not think I could. You can do it like this:  https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/coronavirus-excess-deaths-tracker?gclid=EAIaIQobChMImrmS8YWN8QIVjgwGAB38kA8yEAAYASAAEgIPH_D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds  I think it’s the Martians who pay the Economist to peddle false info.

They don't need to they just censor the ones that disagree.  Here's a challenge - if you use Facebook go on there right now and type a status that either plays down the virus or says negative things about the vaccine, see what happens to that post. 1 minute ago, RollingJ said: Not supporting @top4718's weird reasoning at all - but statistics can be made to show anything, depending on how you interpret/maniplulate them.

RollingJ Â Â 2,040 #5577 Posted June 10, 2021 @top4718 I was referring to STATISTICS - not obvious situations. We have had a major problem, which had it not been swiftly acted on, wold have been very, very much worse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Tops denies the glass is even there I'm not denying its there but that its been greatly exaggerated, to what ends I don't know but there'll be a few billionaires that did not have that status before.

Exactly. I’m confused now.  Are the U.K. Government paying people to censor the news? Or not?  Facebook isn’t a news source by the way. Maybe that’s where you are going wrong.   Edited June 10, 2021 by sibon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
