Did he insult your idol?
... and an alcoholic with depression.
He also once owned a Hotel in Carnlough - where Brendan Rodgers is from - The Londonderry Arms - which I’m sure went down well with the locals.
It’s close enough to suggest that Winston has been to Larne.
This may be the reason for his depression, alcoholism, racism and war crimes.
Yeah, I'm always going on about Churchill, you weird cunt
I don't think I've ever mentioned him, but do feel free to take a look and get back to us all
If Boris is sitting up and in good spirits, they should do an interview with him from the ICU.
Then you just know that they'll attach some strings to his arms so they can move him, put on some sunglasses and have someone move his lips when he's talking.
In all seriousness, he wont be in the ICU without being pretty fucked. Hope he pulls through. Dont like him, but wont wish death on anyone in this horrendous time we're in.

Here, now that I've got your attention, how many times did you email the mods begging to get back in here after being banned? Was it worth it?
What? Erm, let's see......not once. Yeah, that was it. Not once ever.
Christ, first this random Churchill rant, now this weird shit about e-mailing moderators. What's up you fucking weird cunt? Trouble at home? Some kind of religious, or existential crisis? What's happened to you?
I'll pretend to care for a moment.
I think Athens needs a smoke.
So, they just randomly decided to let you back in after being banned for years? That's a bit... weird.
Going well this, Athens! A forensic and epic takedown.
First Churchill "my hero". Ooops, nope, never actually talked about him ever.
Then "begging to come back to 6cm in emails to moderators" (five years after my return). Erm......nope, never done that either.
Cracking work, lad.

I need a holiday. By myself, somewhere quiet for a week or two.
I've often wondered about why you were allowed back in. What, with your anger management issues and everything.
Is it just me - or have you started calling people “lad” a lot more of late?
What’s brought this on - you trying to connect with your scouse roots before everything falls apart?
A fellow chemical engineer, two of us can't possibly be wrong about this.
Some possible explanations as to why Germany's mortality rate seems low and the UK's high. From the BBC.
Differing death rates
First, there is confusion about what people mean by “death rate”. This confusion can make countries’ numbers look vastly different, even if their populations are dying at the same rate.
There are, in fact, two kinds of fatality rate. The first is the proportion of people who die who have tested positive for the disease. This is called the “case fatality rate”. The second kind is the proportion of people who die after having the infection overall; as many of these will never be picked up, this figure has to be an estimate. This is the “infection fatality rate”.
In other words, the case fatality rate describes how many people doctors can be sure are killed by the infection, versus how many people the virus kills overall, says Carl Heneghan, an epidemiologist and director of the Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine at the University of Oxford; he is also a GP in recovery from a suspected Covid-19 infection.
To see what a difference this makes, consider 100 people who have been infected with Covid-19. Ten of them have it so severely that they go into hospital, where they test positive for Covid-19. The other 90 are not tested at all. One of the hospital patients then dies from the virus. The other 99 people survive.
That would give a case fatality rate of one in 10, or 10%. But the infection fatality rate would be just one in 100, or 1%.
So if some countries only test patients ill enough to go to hospital – and don’t test the less-ill (or even asymptomatic) Covid-19 patients who don’t get to hospital (which is what the UK is currently doing) – the death rate can appear higher than in countries where testing is widespread (such as Germany or South Korea).
Impact of testing
Even if you’re careful to compare the same type of fatality rate across countries, it’s easy to see how testing more, or fewer, people would change the results.
In fact, the lack of widespread, systematic testing in most countries is the main source of discrepancies in death rates internationally, says Dietrich Rothenbacher, director of the Institute of Epidemiology and Medical Biometry at the University of Ulm in Germany.
As a result, the current figures are “not at all” directly comparable between countries, he says. This is because, to get an accurate figure across a population, it is necessary to test not just symptomatic cases, but asymptomatic people too. Having that data would give an accurate picture of how the pandemic is affecting whole populations, not just the sick.
“Currently we have a huge bias in the numbers coming from different countries – therefore the data are not directly comparable,” he says. “What we need to really have valid and comparable numbers would be a defined and systematic way to choose a representative sampling frame.”

Bit weird considering they've reported between 2 & 7 deaths each day (bar one) this past week.

This has all gone very weird
Oh FFS, it was clearly a fucking joke.
I do believe they're lying continually, cos it's been proven they do, so he's almost certainly in a worse way than we're being told.
When they came out & said "He's not on a ventilator" I immediately got loads of texts saying "Well Johnson is defo on a vent then". Everyone with half a brain cell knows they can't trust what they're saying.
There's no way you could keep his actual death secret though, so I don't actually think they're trying to do that. No doubt they'd try to delay it an hour or two to get some continuity plan in place, but any government would do so in the same circumstance.

If he was on a ventilator but they wanted to avoid any suspicion that he was, wouldn't they just say he's stable or something?
'Not on a ventilator' is like putting 'No criminal record' on your CV.

Eh?
Why would they have said anything at all if they needed to buy some time? Its not as if its in the publics interest or anything
