https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-54042003It reads - anti lockdown protest AS coronavirus cases RISE by 141  ?
 

 

 

Regarding todays covid19 restrictions protest in scotland:

The BBC rely on you to just SKIM READ these sort of titles -   and the immmediate reaction they know they will get from the average person is:  "oh no, anti lockdown protest CAUSES; coranavirus cases to rise"

It should have been "Anti lockdown protest outside Scotlands Parliament building'

In this 'news' item, here's the BBC yet again reporting in a manipulative manner, specifically this bit:

As of Friday night, two people were in intensive care with coronavirus and a further 251 infected people were in hospital, although that figure includes patients who may not be*** receiving treatment for the disease.


***  *May not?  What do you mean BBC?   I think I know what you mean, it's this:

As of friday night, ONLY 2 people were in intensive care with coronavirus, and a further 251 PEOPLE were in hospital receiving treatment for A RANGE OF ILLNESSES - some of whom may just happen to also test positive for some strain of coronavirus - but not necessarily covid 19.

Wow, look at all those sell out government thugs. Government employees are the biggest leeches upon society, worse than welfare addicts IMO as they take up the majority of the funds, and many of them are dishonest.

 

This just reminded me of a story. Back around 2007 when I was still sleeping and playing with expensive toys I was browsing the local classified ads and found a 2005 Honda CBR 1000RR Repsol with 8000 miles for sale for $8500, so I called the seller and arranged to view the bike.

 

I gathered up $8000 cash, counted it out twice with my then girlfriend present and we drove over to meet the seller who gave us his home address. We arrived at a two story three car garage house with that fake grass front yard that looked perfect. We spoke for a few minutes and he mentioned that he was a police officer somewhere in the conversation.

 

The bike was in ok shape but I know it had been ridden hard because the tires had been heated considerably around the edges to where the rubber was melted and then dried, much like you find on tires that have seen a track day, and the seller had placed stickers on the windshield from a race school, so I knew the bike had seen a track day or two, but overall it was clean and had a clear title and the Repsol edition don't come up for sale very often.

 

I offered him the $8000 cash I had and he seemed to he and haw over 500 dollars even though the bike needed new tires. Foolishly I handed him the $8000 instead of counting it out and I walk down the driveway to talk to my girlfriend about the bike. A minute later the seller said that I was short $100. I know I wasn't, I had counted it twice and stuck the money in an envelope. This arsehole was so greedy that he had to steal $100 bill out of the stack.

 

My girlfriend had a 100 in her wallet and so she gave it to me to complete the deal. Either way I was out a 100 dollars at that point even if I had tried to walk away, he had already stole $100, so he would have handed me back 7900 and it was my word against his. Low life scumbag move. I mean, it's not like I was low balling him with a $8000 cash offer on a bike that had been ridden hard and needed a new set of tires, I think it was a fair deal, so I ended up paying him $8100. What bothered me more was not the stolen $100 but it's the principle that he was would steal from me under my nose and him being a cop too.

 

I know not all cops are dishonest like this guy was, but seeing all those thugs instantly reminded me of that thief cop.

exactly, if this was a real pandemic no way would they be making these kind of songs about it. When was the last time you heard a nursery rhyme about cancer

 

Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are. Up above the world so high, Like a cancer in the sky. Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are!

 

Baa, baa, black sheep, Have you any wool? Yes, sir, yes, sir, Three bags full; One for the master, And one for the dame, And one for the little boy Who has cancer.

 

Oh, do you know the muffin man, The muffin man, the muffin man, Oh, do you know the muffin man, That has cancer.

 

This little piggy went to market, This little piggy stayed home, This little piggy had roast beef, This little piggy had cancer, And this little piggy cried Wee, wee, wee, all the way home.

 

Old MacDonald had a farm E-I-E-I-O And on his farm he had cancer, With a cancer here, And a cancer there, Here a cancer, there a cancer Everywhere a cancer. Old MacDonald had a farm E-I-E-I-O

 

Oh, the grand old Duke of York, He had ten thousand men, He marched them up to the top of the hill, And he marched them down again. And when they were up they were up. And when they were down they were down. And when they were only halfway up, They got cancer.

 

Little Jack Horner Sat in the corner, Eating a Christmas pie; He put in his thumb, And pulled out a plum, And said, “I've got cancer!”

 

(Apologies and condolences to the one in two people who have cancer. That's what I call a pandemic!)
