The vulnerable will be vaccinated, and the government will convince those who think a "case" is a death sentence that its really not a big deal once those who need to be are protected and everything will open up and we can all have an ace summer sharing the island with loads of tourists with pockets full of cash to spend back in our economy. If we keep trying to eradicate we will just get isolated from and left behind by the rest of the world. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely, there was absolutely no reason for them to be included in the press briefings last year. At the time it looked like a failed PR & marketing business made up of typical wanky PR bullshitters. They have an actual 'journalist' now of course but they needed to grab one from somewhere just to justify their spot at the table.

MF has just as much right to send a rep to these briefings as this anonymous bunch seem to. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the stinking enigma Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 I never did learn how to post pictures on here but gef had one a couple of days ago that was straìght out of north korea and tied in rather nicely with howards planned attack on fake news via social media. Something about the manx rumour mill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know the type, think they're much smarter than they actually are, never actually done anything of note. Then just make up a load of PR bullshit. In my mind they're probably like something straight out of Nathan Barley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just bemused why the default setting on this forum in relation to covid reporting is so unrelentingly depressing and seems designed solely to try to scare as many people as possible by attempting to blow up as many successive depressing scenarios possible 👍 I'm surprised you're surprised considering you've been repeating the same old kind of sheight on here for years.

You just need a crochet hook to stick in your ear to pull out 45% of your brains....so when there is a glaringly obvious government blunder, you still won't ask any difficult questions. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s owned by a subsidiary of a company called Impellity. You can always make a registry enquiry if it concerns you so much. There’s even a Peel connection for you Albert.
