" If That means some pensioners Die. Too Bad "........... We need to protect the economy.
Have a guess which Political Adviser said this ?.

[New Judge]

No, I give up.

(Whispers) I do know, actually, but I'm not going to encourage him.

[aelmpvw]

i can't imagine who that might be attributed to ...

[dannyk13]

Is it someone in the Labour Party?

[Prudie]

I've no idea, maybe someone ballsy enough to actually say what others may be only thinking?

[Buenchico]

It's an alleged statement that a certain DC has always denied making but, in fact, one which I personally would heartily applaud anyway.

[fiction-factory]

No political adviser said it. Someone interpreted and summarised his views as that

[anneasquith]

Did Cummings actually say that? When ?

[gulliver1]

Clue , "I've got to leave Old Durham Town.
And the leavings Gonna get me down"

One wonders how hearty the applause would be for the suggestion of the suspension of chemotherapy.

Most of us realise gulliver that at some point you have to allow the economy to open up again and for people to come out from under the stairs and interact with others outside their household and try to manage the virus as best we can. 5000 excess deaths a week was too high a figure. At what point would you want the lockdown to end and the economy to be allowed to restart so we can afford to pay for the NHS and public services? When no-one is dying? 100 a week? 100 a day?

Has anyone suggested it? All chemotherapy?

[teacake44]

Lets not forget the pensioner Tom. Lets not forget the retired doctors and nurses who returned back to the NHS to help save the lives of younger people. Its not taken long for things to turn sour. :0(

[gulliver1]

12.43. Wouldn't like to be pensioner in your Family Buenchico.

Ask me one on sport.

^ what's the surname of a Scottish professional footballer (b1995) who plays as a striker for Shrewsbury Town and the Scotland national team?

[Deskdiary]

It's a horrible thing to say and nobody would like to say it - I certainly didn't like saying it.

But it is a pragmatic thing to say.
