snowman Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 sadly, it obvious: - journo questions are being wasted - testing regime wont change no matter what - dr glover will be continue to be ignored - they only want to talk about the vaccine we are going to end up like the uk. the lockdown needs to be a success because government policy isnt going to change. they cant admit they are wrong. governmnet are relying on the vaccine as a result of their failure 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we have no real pressing journalists? Do they not listen to the briefing to avoid wasting questions? There is real tough scrutiny needed of this pair. Rest of the Keys aren't pushing them it seems, nor are the journalists. The Keys/Tynpotwald are useless and are hardly going to hold HRH The Chief Ministers and David Ashford feet to the fire. The calibre of MHK at present is Rob Callister, Dafnee, Hooperman and Jason Monkhouse in terms of asking questions. Asking the right questions are another matter. Some won’t want to ask questions or rock the boat, they may lose what privileges they have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Johnson Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Talking of money, no mention of updates by Alf on what else he has planned, if anything. £280.00 for the building trade will not last long before there are riots. There was much more available last time including payment holidays on CCs and mortgages. Nothing now as far as I can see, shocking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's an annual PS wage bill of in excess of £400M pa to sustain through this crisis. Do we think there's any money left for anybody else? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some self-employed like me entitled to nothing, depending on sector. My savings were wiped out last lockdown I'm a couple of months away from defaulting on my mortgage. 2020 tough, 2021 could be the straw breaker. I assume there's lots of folk in the same position and so far my mental health is holding up. Lots won't be. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is unacceptable in this day and age. The government must step in to help people in similar circumstances. Taxes for those working have to rise and be ring fenced.
