Some topic of the day. Same as the tabloids have done for years. Even to the point of upsetting the listeners. Keep people tuned in and sell advertising. It's all incredibly stupid. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes & their listener base primarily voted Brexit. That was never going to happen was it. Don't ever underestimate public opinion. The great British public can only take so much, they know when they are being kidded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banker Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 As I’m always posting positive stuff on CI , where I have friends/family, here’s something that’s not gone down well.

We said here weeks ago they weren’t achievable and that there needs to be a new way of measuring perceived risk, because rising “cases” in a vaccinated population with reducing restrictions certainly isn’t it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I absolutely agree We have heard nothing (officially) recently from Government. Makes you wonder if A. COMIN are beavering away adapting a plan to give us clear information so we know what to plan or B. They think the 28th June is so far away that they can stick their heads in the sand and pretend its not happening 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
