    New Labour Leader

    What do you mean Fernando ? I’ve said previously I thought Nandy had come across well when I’ve seen/heard her. In terms of shadow chancellor, would I rather someone like McDonnell who is ideologically driven in that role (what has he ever done in relation business and economics ?) or someone...

    New Labour Leader

    Anneliese Dodd as shadow chancellor and lisa nandy as show foreign secretary. Nick Thomas Symmons replacing Abbott as Shadow Home Secretary. John Ashworth remains in role I don’t know enough about the individuals but it does feel a stronger shadow front bench is being formed. Any thoughts from...

    But as we know (as I’ve attached this previously) it wasn’t the governments plan to ‘take it on the chin’ Here is the transcript of what Boris Johnson said on This Morning about the new coronavirus This was from 5 March, 10-14 days prior to implementation of social distancing measures ie...

    Haha, reckon every bloke with hair is having the same debate/conversation at the minute. Half my mates just shave their heads (so they’re fine), the rest of us are discussing what grade and the risks involved...especially with our ever thinning tops !

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Tried to avoid this a bit more today (for my sanity) but always like to check as there’s usually some useful info/comments, especially from sick boy re: Italy. Is it too much to ask for all this ‘Johnson’s avoiding scrutiny stuff’ to calm down though. None of us know how ill he is so unless...

    New cases Sad to see high daily death figures (although not unexpected as these are likely to continue for a few days yet) but new cases are down on yesterday which is a positive. If they can stabilise and/or hopefully reduce then the daily death numbers should reduce in due course ps as has...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Think we all know this is to do with limited testing though (everyone with symptoms has been asked the stay at home and self isolate, remaining untested unless it significantly worsens) The mortality rates around the world will all drop significantly once the true case numbers are calculated...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    It was poor as it is by any of the others chairing that don’t have the detailed knowledge. That’s why I commented that Hancocks was by far the most useful of late but I appreciate positive comments are banned....so had a word with myself and will try harder in future ; )

    haha, you been missing me mate. Working all morning so not had the chance to catch up. I’ll repeat what ive been saying for the last couple of weeks (feel free to check back at posts). Testing for NHS workers (and their families) who are off needs sorting and is inexcusable and if there are...

    Boxing Movie

    Great shout mate. Watched it tonight. Really enjoyed it. I recalled seeing an interview with Jonny Harris ages ago about the film (think he was actually a decent amateur fighter as a lad) and then totally forgot about it. Thanks for the reminder !

    People do have different symptoms and recover at different times. Right, however much I enjoy our bickering, I’ve got to do something else this evening, (life’s depressing enough at the moment to be stuck on here all night, no offence meant, you know what I mean)

    We are currently 75% of capacity as stated in the briefing. Let’s hope it stays that way

    Haha, that also made me laugh. I said I thought it was a far more useful briefing. Of course I’m sceptical but they’ve made a massive rod for their own back (I’d have gone for a prudent figure of 50k), let’s see if they deliver. I’ve said previously (go back a week or so)?that the lack of NHS...
