I don't know how this type think they get to complain about the number of deaths while complaining about the measures taken to reduce the number of deaths.

He possibly doesnt believe the virus killed people and was going on about how many people lockdown killed instead.

Their live updates page has several posts about it, eg: 2h ago 14:59

Although being the Guardian a subsequent post mentions the 2.59am post

It seems they had a bit of a disagreement while outside - not really sure why Keith and co then decided to go in? (ETA: unless they didn't actually know he was the landlord...)

He was invited in to speak to the owner or co-landlord and nutjob ambushes him about covid.

The pubs said Rod was a bit of a twat

Keir's still not getting a drink

 

[steeplejack]

Not sure if this, or being pointedly ignored by two girls on their phone in Seaton Carew, is more excruciating.

Sur Kieth is basically a more right wing Ed Miliband without the bacon roll empathy. A softly spoken, voter repellent blatherskite.

What's odd about the whole episode is that it was presumably a prearranged visit. Even over the phone they should have picked up that the landlord is a frothing neo-Ickeist.

Starmer's team probably felt like frothing neo-Ickeist pub landlords are representative of exactly the kind of working class red wall voters he needs to win over.

On Radio 4 PM it was said that the pub has two joint owners. The other gave permission, but his business partner didn't know that apparently.

I don't believe that guy's a labour voter. It's Bath ffs!

18.08 they finally bother, with as minor key headline as they could muster

Pub landlord shouts at Starmer for backing Covid rules

Video footage shows Labour leader being confronted as he campaigns in Bath before local elections

[mauvais]

no senior pol is allowed to do this kind of thing since Gillian Duffy. Everyone they speak to must be Taken Seriously.

Duffy, left, just passively enjoying the spectacle today I see.

 

[keybored]

Oh wow, that guy used to take me ferreting when I was a youth. Quite ironic he's now gone down the rabbit hole himself.

I think we're now in 'beyond irony' territory aren't we?

Starmer ejected from pub by antilockdown loon:

I know that pub , old timers like me know it as Molly Hatchets , I'm not a Starmer defender , but I don't know how he can be blamed for pubs being shut down when Boris has an 80 seat majority. It is irrelevant whether Labour supported the lockdown or not with that majority. Personally, I think that Landlord was looking for an incident to publicise the pub , which is on a back street . You wouldn't come across it on a random pub crawl around Bath , unless you knew about it (I'm ignoring pub guides on the internet) .

 

[Knotted]

No, the landlord is right about one thing. Starmer should be held accountable to the Tory policies he supports.

The 80 seat majority has made Starmer irrelevant, it doesn't matter if he supports it or not. Better for him not to support it , but with that majority, he could do fuck all. The landlord should be yelling at another local MP, Jacob Rees Mogg.

What's going on with his hand there?

 

[Knotted]

He could have emphasised how bad the Covid strategy was by developing an alternative and disrupted the Tory electoral coalition pressurising them to change course. I'm totally up for yelling at him in the street.

 

[Steel Icarus]

"Bring back David Cameron" says Kieth at the end of the clip. What can he mean?

 

[Shechemite]

tbf a big factor in the ~100,000 deaths of old and disabled people has been that they live in places they don’t want to live (and that most people wouldn’t what to) and that they can’t (for a variety of reasons) aren’t able to leave

Of course the anti-lockdown people don’t understand this either - hence their earlier calls to ‘protect the vulnerable’ er locking them away (so perfectly mentally competent people like the landlord can go back to normal). both pro and anti lockdown evangelists don’t really get why so many people have died

Dunno, but Starmer's pint looks like a prop...untouched when his pals are way down theirs.

What's going on with his hand there?

The consequences of the botched operation he had a while back to replace his hands with flags. His mind accepted the flags willingly but his body still rejected them, and there were some complications when they gave up and reattached his original hands.

There are lots of reasons so many have died, including the things you allude to but also many others. I'm sure I'll go on about it more in the fullness of time once there ha been greater analysis. There hasnt been enough 2nd wave analysis yet, and for example it took till November to get some analysis of how large the care home undercount may have been for the first wave via things like COVID-19 care home deaths in UK ‘hugely underestimated’
