Exactly, its what ive seen time and time again when ive watched the speakers on subject accesses live streams for the anti covid protests Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With outlandish ones that have no basis in reality and are based on lies and dont stand up to proper thinking. This post deserves a gold star for accuracy and insight. Nice one Mel.

I can't take any criticism of a party seriously from someone who believes every word they say on the current crisis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He listens to the experts whether these be politicians or scientists and then uses his own brain to decide what makes sense to him. This makes it absolutely possible to accept or question any pronouncement from on high. Does anyone accept everything hook line and sinker from any single source. I doubt that anyone with a reasonable quantity of brain cells does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No he listens to a biased, one sided view from people who are totally untrustworthy, do you really think the Tory Party cares about your health?

Why don’t you just listen to the scientists? Filter out all the political nonsense from Johnson and his goons. The research is all published. Have a read. Then you might understand why getting vaccinated and not breathing on strangers actually helps us all. Edited September 23, 2021 by sibon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt that you are in a position to speak with authority on what anyone,other than yourself thinks. I think the Tory Party and all parties have little concern for any individual ,but I am sure that they heed the popularity polls. So the herd immunity arguments were thankfully mitigated to some extent by the success of the vaccine programme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
