@PHE_uk 158 deaths in 28 days...
150 deaths a month from road accidents. Will you be banning cars?
600+ deaths a month from alcohol on average. Will you be banning alcohol?
6500 deaths a month from smoking. Will you be banning cigarettes?
Probably not.

@Isysuttie@GWRHelp GWR. Does that stand for "God we're rubbish."?
Here's an idea for you...
Charge some of the most exorbitant travel fares on the planet, treat customers like 8th century serfs, whilst trousering your exec salaries.
And bang on about signals.
Oh wait...
@sarahcpr I have never met them. Nor do I have any personal insights into their lives. Therefore I will (a) keep my opinions and 'feelings' about them to myself (b) Carry on living my own life. Clearly I need serious counselling, but hey ho.
@PHE_uk This hysteria and totally disproportionate focus on just 1 element of mortality rates has to stop. 56 covid related deaths (with, not just from) within 28 days? Based on average of 12,000 deaths per month / 624,00 deaths per year in the UK across the board, it is fractional.
@ShappiKhorsandi Good looking fam. I like the fact that family relationships are clearer nowadays. "Uncle" today means your Dad or Mum's brother. Uncle in the 70's could mean anyone who borrowed your Dad's sander.
@MartinSLewis I saw a bloke violently popping his England balloons and sighing loudly outside his house near midnight. Touch and go there for a while, but I think it'll be ok.
@alfiemoore I imagine Chris felt massively humiliated and anxious after this experience. I apply the 'my lads law' to this. If someone did this to my lads I'd kick their faces in.. #Scunnyrules
@jennyeclair Thanks for sharing that. I cared for my Dad who had Dementia and passed away in 2017. They were lots of difficult times, an emotional rollercoaster. But also loads of funny moments too. He used to tell every single carer they were absolutely gorgeous, and made them smile 😃
@Apple very angry parent of 1st year Uni student. He was assaulted + iPhone stolen outside uni halls last night. Your customer service people were SO unhelpful - we just want his iCloud email paused and reset. Going round in circles while crims scam his emails & identity. :-(
