I have just seen a tweet with a video of a man calling him a liar, its really pissed me off, even his voice is irritating and to attack a man that has worked so hard over the last 2 years.

@Beaniecats

I think when you're responsible for devastating people's lives and wreaking destruction on a country it goes with the territory That's whitty by the way
Can you give examples??
Iaintaffraidofcoldtoast · 03/02/2021 12:48

@LetItGoGo

Horrible bullying by a dope.

Whatever the right way to handle this mess Whitty is a hardworking person doing his best. He may be wrong and if so he still doesn't deserve in the face abuse on the street.

Apparently he’s giving vaccines to people as well. He really isn’t just one of the MPs that get paid to look busy. He really is working his socks off and under pressure from the entire country

I think you are confusing him with Boris Johnson

That wasn't a man it was a 12-year old boy trying to imitate a Rastafarian

rosie1959 · 03/02/2021 12:53

I now even more astounded that some seem to think the is ok what planet do they live on
Chris Whitty is not responsible for devastating people’s lives I think you will find that was Covid all he is doing is trying to keep people safe
Hopefully the police will track down the little shit

Puppylucky · 03/02/2021 12:54

The accent is Jafaken (fake Jamaican) and it's the default accent of young Londoners.

GetOffYourHighHorse · 03/02/2021 12:56

Oh and he just stood patiently waiting for his coffee or whatever it was. Totally unruffled. What a pathetic arsehole whining 'you is a liar' omg I'd be horrified if I was unfortunately enough to be its parent.

Wtf? How embarrassing!
Alwaysandforeverhere · 03/02/2021 12:59

Parents need to give him a boot up the arse. I’d be so embarrassed if that was my child. Maybe make a video of the shite apologising for his shitty behaviour and upload that to YouTube/tik tok too.

Although likely the parents won’t care.

Iaintaffraidofcoldtoast · 03/02/2021 13:00

They way he says ‘liar’ is actually really creepy.

It was creepy and also worrying because you got the feeling if there were likeminded twats about it could have escalated.

Exactly

And their handling of nosocomial transmission has been...non existent.

Officially, Whitty is not charge

Unofficially....what's going on?!

GetOffYourHighHorse · 03/02/2021 13:15

'And their handling of nosocomial transmission has been...non existent.'

Red zones, green zones. Testing. What more could they do in a pandemic?

Haffiana · 03/02/2021 13:20

@Againstmachine

The kid is a scumbag, but Whitty and valance presented false stats, which sorta does make him a liar.
You what?
Iaintaffraidofcoldtoast · 03/02/2021 13:37

He has been named on Twitter. What an embarrassment for his family

Quaagars · 03/02/2021 13:37

Exactly this
Also can't believe there's people on here defending it.
Actually, wait, yes I can.

Permita38 · 03/02/2021 13:37

Why do the little twats that think they’re cool in London all talk with that strange fake Jamaican accent? It’s noticeably increased in the 30 years since I was a kid. It’s sounds absolutely shit! 😆

Mudmudingloriousmud · 03/02/2021 13:39

They person doing it is a young silly prat.
I hope Chris let's it wash over him but also reminds him of what teachers are facing in crowded packed classrooms, whilst trying to get kids in line over the virus... Imagine that young guy x 10..

GetOffYourHighHorse · 03/02/2021 13:42

'The kid is a scumbag, but Whitty and valance presented false stats, which sorta does make him a liar.'

They have only presented projections, what could happen if no action was taken. All the scientists come across as 100% professional, they all liaise with their counterparts in the devolved nations and globally. They just would not get away with presenting false anything. Yes scientific opinion varies but projection and facts are evidence based.

knittingaddict · 03/02/2021 13:46

@LunaHeather

If I saw Whitty in the street, l'd stop and ask if he knew my dad, which is possible given their work histories and doctors and their endless networking.

Whether he did or didn't, I'd then say "don't forget, first do no harm". But I'd prefer to invoke the name of my father while doing so.

Is that you Acorn?
donewithitalltodayandxmas · 03/02/2021 14:06

How have they ruined peoples lives what do you suggest they done pretend it never happened?

The scaremongering The false projections The elderly and vulnerable should have been protected and rest of us allowed normal lives The scaremongering, and fear propaganda will leave lifelong damage

I know it's hardly a surprise but some of the Twitter comments are horrifying. How come there are suddenly so many idiots?
