    Likes of Branson who constantly complain about govt interference in the private sector, then the second there's the whiff of taking some public money they're straight in there with the begging bowl and quite happy for government to get involved. Wonder how many of these businesses that have...

    A football team with tens, if not hundreds, of millions in guaranteed TV revenue each season should not be having to get rid of or furlough any staff after a month. If they're running out of money that quick it shows how much is wrong with the game and how the players/agents take far too much of...

    Yep. MP's/councillors are glorified company reps with an over-inflated opinion of their self-worth. Nowhere else would you get someone as head of finance with no financial background or have massive staff turnover on a single night and just be able to continue. They're mouthpieces.

    Given the lack of travel at the moment they could have taken charge of a load of coaches etc and got everyone on them to different regions and taken them to the place they'd be staying (being repatriated I imagine most would have somewhere to go). Then told them they should act as if under...

    But they also be using it as a means of saying "we weren't able to save your nan's life because we don't have the resources and efficiency of a private company. They of course won't mention the fact that they've massively underfunded it, failed to take necessary precautions that the health...
