BBCPolitics britain dose not manufacture come back to bite us?

His lips are moving it’s a lie please get rid of the political pricks and let’s just have medical professionals talking the truth. We do not trust Gove and a few others have no credibility, we need to trust you.

Weasel.

BBCPolitics Ventilator devices made with oxford scientists and formula 1 teams. Plug into oxygen lines, tight fitting masks or helmets, equalize the pressure and forces oxygen and air into lungs, forcing alveoli open and help with breathing. Reverse engineered.

michaelgove is a first degree fuckwit. End

BBCPolitics So exasperating given that lives are at stake. Progress is always imminent, as successive promised targets and deadlines come and go!

Forgot about the bloody bile you’ve been spreading over the past few days now then..... go on put the record straight ... media scum

EU brought the Ventilators for £27k each and sold it to U.K. for £97k, for anyone who is not Carol Vorderman that means if U.K. brought 6000 then someone somewhere is making £420,000,000. The question is”WHO”?

BBCScotlandNews That guy must be so tempted to simply point at Gove and sign the universal handsignal for 'wanker'. A true professional.

No distribution problems anticipated then? When will PPE be delivered to the staff that need it ? These briefings should be fact checked every time or the pundits should actually be challenged to. answer the questions put.

BBCScotlandNews Too fecking late!!

BBCPolitics Does 'next week' mean in say 7 to 10 days time?

BBCPolitics It's always next week or in a few days

bbc5live Except if you're 19 years old and stick your tongue down your boyfriend's throat on the doorstep and ask him to come in [!!]

BBCPolitics Yes we are but for how long !

bbc5live Gove and best friend Toby Young want to kill D-Day/Dunkirk generation. Do not believe this gimp, just collateral damage.

Coronavirus: UK measures having 'big effect' on social contact - BBC NewsUK's chief scientific adviser Sir Patrick Vallance says measures being put in place are 'making a difference' Coronavirus latest: BBCScotlandNews Can we have medical summaries post govt briefings and not political summaries. This is a medical crisis, not a political one. But no clarity on testing and equipment. No details. They should at least provide references for us to look at: list of test options, who, where, when? Amazed somebody asked about confronting China about yet another virus. Doubt it. I find it very troubling that these stats just relate to England. I understand that the other parts of the Union have separate powers but surely we should be looking & dealing with this as the U.K. as a whole?
