    Coronavirus (CCFC Related)

    Very true. Insurance companies are horrible to work with - they generally tend to reject clients/requests for insurance where it is perceived that the chances of them having to pay out is quite high. With this virus we may get a second wave, U-Turns on the rescheduling of sporting events etc so...

    I see, he's one of those 'consultants' that society puts on a pedestal. Scary thing is that because they get paid ridiculous money, people like him are probably getting the full whack of £2.5k a month and they're spending their time chatting shit about, in their eyes, NHS scum. The irony is that...

    She was mocking Angela Rayner for her 'lack of education' around election time but was reminded by someone that she herself failed her A Levels at her first attempt and had to fork out on going to a private college for an extra year to complete them!

    I can't disagree with you there mate. Luckily the past few years have been decent though.

    First ever CCFC memories ?

    First game was as an eight year old back in March 2006. At the new RICOH Arena against Preston. Preston won 1-0 but I still have the broadsheet programme. Micky Adams was in charge and we we were undergoing operaton Premier League. That season ended up beng our best season outside of the top...

    I'm still trying to decipher what he meant by 'ethic backgrounds'. My understanding that these are wallpapers with the drawings of Western philosophers such as Aristotle and Plato. What has a still image of the world's greatest philosophers ever done to deserve such treatment :joyful...

    Ethic backgrounds apparently. Plato, Kant, Rousseau, Tocqueville and all those philosophers from centuries ago!

    We are all, by definition from an 'ethnic' background. Unless I've missed something and there are some ethnicities that are not, in fact, ethnicities :joyful:

    Seeing all these right wingers triggered is actually hilarious. I didn't think there was such a thing as a right wing snowflake but boy have I been proved wrong.

    2,000 NHS staff have now been tested from a workforce of 1.34 million. I suppose it's better than nothing...

    Just viewed some more of Mr Schneider's posts and though I acknowledge he is a solid lefty, some of the stuff I've seen about the government's response has been eye-openingly shocking. The government's refusal to take part in the EU ventilator scheme being a case in point - refusing to gain...

    City's Biggest Transfer Disaster - Burn the Cash

    Freddie Eastwood, though he was more of a hindsight mistake. He was prolific for Southend in the Championship but never seemed to get going for us.

    Even worse are those who rely on and exploit the existence of problems in the NHS (i.e. government funding). I keep seeing bullshit private companies who purport to offer 'consultancy solutions for the NHS'. I mean, they can get a bloody life - they think they deserve credit for profiteering...

    Exactly - 'Back Boris' is the mantra for those can't think critically, and suddenly absolutely nothing that he was privy to from years ago such as real terms cuts is of any relevance. It's no wonder why most of the people who fall into this category were not exactly academically adept.

    Definitely. There's a difference between getting behind measures to help (I'm behind all of them) and unquestionable support to the extent that those in power go unchallenged. And lack of competition is a dangerous thing. Tories like to bang on about how competition and the market can achieve an...

    Balance of power. Capitalism is an excellent system to distribute wealth when times are good. After all, few could argue that the creation of jobs to sustain livelihoods is a bad thing. While this is going on though, there's a complete imbalance of power. Yes, when times are good, employment is...

    But they're happy to give £2.5k a month in the meantime to their friends in banking and insurance for being scroungers

    I think I speak on behalf of nearly everyone when I say that your son's a hero along with all other healthcare professionals. Unfortunately these false promises by the government every other day will continue to be met with a retweet/share from those who voted for them, without realising that...
