    Police officer shot dead by man in custody

    Its starting to sound like the offender was in for a routine check as he was on some sort of watchlist and therefore wasn't searched. If correct that's a big oversight in procedure that will need to be corrected ASAP to prevent any more tragic incidents like this.

    Police officer shot dead by man in custody

    "The officers were executing a drugs warrant in Dale Close, Barnet, when they were injured by a suspected corrosive substance.". What has this got to do with BLM? I'll bite, where have you got the 90% figure from? As for saying they have no issue with black on black crime that's simply false.

    Students I've seen interviewed on a couple of news bulletins today were moaning they were being told not to go shopping or go home to get their washing done, complaining they were running out of food and clean clothes. The chances of just keeping any outbreak just among students seems virtually...

    They couldn't stop them going out on the piss the first week back how the hell are they going to keep them in for two weeks over Xmas?

    Certainly not saying any scheme is perfect, just suggesting that other schemes seem preferable to ours. I'm not seeing any reason companies would take up our scheme when it means them paying more for every hour worked by an employee. Maybe you can explain the benefit to employers of the type of...

    Its very imaginatively called the co-operative. Biamou has property there I think, seem to remember the club posting something about it. The flats seem pretty expensive for what you get.

    The fact that our scheme was more generous to start off with is irrelevant moving forward. Just highlights yet another failure of the government to properly manage the situation. I already pointed out the French and German schemes existed pre-covid. The fact our system wasn't up to scratch...

    Completely agree. The talk before the announcement was of a scheme modelled on the likes of Germany and France. This scheme seems fundamentally different in that it is in part down to employers to pay for the unworked hours. I've still not seen anybody explain why employers would take up this...

    Spot on, people are busy arguing about the figures put out by the government but really you need to look at the ONS figures. There you can clearly see excess deaths, and in numbers that are substantially higher than the governments covid death figures. If the excess deaths aren't covid what is...

    Hopefully it will work but I'm struggling to see how to be honest. Seems to rely on employers paying for hours employees haven't worked instead of just paying them for the hours worked. What benefit is there for employers to do that? Personally not confident that relying on employers to 'do...

    How can you refuse anyone entry or kick them out? If someone says they have an exemption you're not allowed to question it. From what has been said on here in other countries its been wear a mask at all times when you leave the house. Simple, easy to follow and totally unambiguous.

    Absolutely agree that everyone has to follow the isolation rules. The report the data is pulled from seems to suggest that childcare and not being able to afford time of work as being two major contributors to the high numbers. Would seem to indicate that we don't have the right support systems...

    When is their next interest payment and update on the state of accounts due? Thats the next hurdle to get over. Also have to assume lack of events will mean the valuation of the Ricoh will nosedive given that increased business was the explaination for the way the value surged after Wasps...

    "The conditions will be set out in guidance which will be published shortly, then over the next few weeks the further details will be worked through with businesses and unions." Why does this sound like they're making it up as they go along. This is something that has been flagged up for months...

    The talk going into the announcement, which given how this government operates presumably was 'leaked' to the media, was that Sunak would introduce a similar scheme to Germany. From what I can make out, and I could have this completely wrong as its going off a quick google, the German scheme...
