Yeah, that’s my understanding as well (I heard witty mention it early doors)....potentially awful news if assessment true/accurate Fingers crossed its wrong and a majority will be immune, if not, as BSB says, there will be an even greater focus/reliance on managing the virus better (which I’m...

Good point about Universal credit Ian. Never understood the reasons/justifications for any lag in payment, hopefully following the fantastic work in relation to the furlough scheme set up there will be improvements

No doubt the pandemic planning was poor (I’ve asked before, how on earth do you have supply chain reliance on foreign countries in a pandemic ?!! Where’s the back up local planning ?) and ministers should rightly take a large chunk of the blame. I’m just saying there are also a lot of well...

exactly what I thought....WTF ?!

Of course it would be as you’d either have recovered from the symptoms or be in hospital by then

Hmmmm Horton has got a bit of an axe to grind through. If he’d been contacted by hundreds or at least tens of people saying the same Id definitely take notice (surely if he’s been contacted by one he’d have undertaken some investigations to find out if this is a widespread issue - not saying...

I know I shouldn’t as it’s a serious subject but I had to chuckle earlier as he’s having an absolute mare isn’t he (it’s like everything he’s touched has turned to shit recently). I bet it will be the new testing guy that will get the credit for getting the capacity up to 100k next week as well...

I have him alongside Grayling in the fucking useless category !

Just watched it, truly heartbreaking. As the article states the damage this virus is doing is way beyond the recorded cases/deaths hope you and your family are ok mate

Agree that there must’ve been an error to send them there but if you think about it youre not going to have a load of specialist ICU nurses just waiting around for potential overflow patients to come to the nightingale. They are likely to have to be called in or deployed from other hospitals...

Me too....not even started yet !

Depends on your viewpoint I guess mate ! I see that as potentially thousands of lives that could’ve been seriously ill/died that haven’t. Id definitely still argue that the negative headline/story run by The guardian and the Mail (potentially others) was in my view unnecessary

Not saying it’s not their problem (and ultimately it will be the minister taking the flack) just that there’s a lot of highly paid people and from the initial problems it suggests some probably weren’t probably doing a very good job...Hancock included ! Ps also read yesterday that there’s a...

To be fair Piers Morgan has asked some valid/reasonable questions which need to be asked but in these type of situations there’s got to be balance for wider public’s mental health. i believe the media has got the balance wrong and as a whole appear to prefer to focus on every last drop of...

100%. The government have been clear they will announce the release of the measures in due course. I can understand why. For example you say that small groups of can start interacting again from 4 May...nobody can tell me that people wouldn’t start meeting on the days before that date (‘what’s a...

It does appear to be waning a little (which is why timing of its implementation was so important) By and large I’d imagine a majority of the population are still following social distancing so it would be disappointing to see a climb in numbers on the back of groups of idiots queuing for a five...

yeah, been mentioned on the Trump thread BSB. He’s lost it ! ps I drank some earlier just incase he’s right...fingers crossed !!!

Like with everything (inc the private sector) there’s good and bad elements of the civil service. For all the stick Hancock has got/is getting (a majority of it fair/correct), there will be senior civil servants that will no doubt be just as much to blame for the PPE and testing situations we...

Fair play Pete and well done HMRC for getting everything operational so quickly The furlough scheme will hopefully keep hundreds of thousands (if not more) in work that would ordinarily have been made redundant. It will also hopefully provide us with the ability to get the economy moving post...

A funny twitter post about this (what a bizarre man !!!)
