Coronavirus meme/panic/fear mongering general thread

Let’s not forget that orchestras are awful at health and safety all round. Like for example the viola player now suing because being placed right in front of the trombones has caused him tinnitus. I wouldn’t trust that their say-so on safety means anything at all.
 
Ken Clarke could be an interesting addition to a fantasy day drinking team, Badgers ? Probably not much stamina, mind. Maybe one to come across in a pub.

I feel inclusion of the words "the singer" kind of spoil the joke though. We don't need it explaining, Ken.

the real ken clarke is still a tory cunt.

just because the current bunch of tory cunts are even higher in the cuntitude scale, some people are being fooled that some of the previous bunch of tory cunts are almost decent in comparison...

To put that in context, Elmbridge had 21 cases yesterday (down from 33 a few days ago).

By contrast, Bury (currently at well over 200 cases per day per 100k people) is getting those kind of figures in individual suburbs.


You do need to look at more than the number per 100k on an individual day to get a feel for how the infection is going. Saying that, there’s no doubt that ministers are taking a NIMBY attitude to lockdowns, which is pathetic.

Not to mention the huge puddles of spit that inevitably collect around the brass department... :hmm:

And I reckon those velvet bow ties are a virus-magnet.
 
It's even worse than that.
How many Muslim girls do you know who are ballerinas? They didn't call the girl in that advert Fatima by accident. The shower of shits.
They probably thought they were "being inclusive" - or, more cynically, expected to be able to peddle that line and use "hey, we're only being inclusive" as a justification.
 

That particular image does seem a bad choice in view of the arts being in trouble, but it's one of a whole series of ads using different stock images of young people, doing various jobs, from stacking shelves, via working in a kitchen to someone doing some engineering job. Not a bad campaign in normal times, but they certainly wasn't reading the room when choosing to run with that image ATM.

The scheme itself is - 'the CyberFirst programme offers bursaries to undergraduate students, delivers short courses in cyber security for young people aged 11 – 19', that seems to have been launched on the 23rd January 2020, so clearly planned well before covid.
 
Given what the Government are currently doing to the arts, it might have been smart of them to quietly pull any of the advertisements along the lines of Fatima.

Being as it's from last year, and the scheme was launched in January, I've no idea if they are still using it or if twitter has just blown a gasket over nowt.
