    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    So we're going to try and bumble through until the spring when hopefully the "moonshot test" means everyone in the country can test themselves whenever they want to leave the house and know if they're safe to leave or not. That test doesn't currently exist though does it so its got to be...

    Seemed to be Whitty saying its a long haul and next spring might be the point we start coming out of it. Talking about the possibility of further restrictions such as closing school. Followed by Johnson saying everything will be OK by Xmas!

    Not sure what solution there is other than delay and hope. Of course it would be preferable to get 100% of salary or the current 80% rather than the 60% in Germany or 70% in Spain. Having said that I would be more than happy with 60% if the scheme here was extended. That's enough to cover my...

    Birmingham incident

    That's the problem isn't it? You can't say everyone who murders has a mental health issue and therefore should be excused so the issue becomes where do you put the line at which diminished responsibility becomes a valid argument.

    Birmingham incident

    For me that's two separate issues, the debate over capital punishment is a huge issue by itself. Completely agree that mental health shouldn't be used as a get out, but we all know there are lawyers who will try anything. Of course mental health can cover a huge array of issues, some relatively...

    Are you suggesting bringing back capital punishment for this person specifically, murderers in general or just anyone who has mental health issues?

    Birmingham incident

    Not playing stupid, have no idea what you're getting at. The police and media have been accused of treating this case differently because it concerned a Somali refugee yet it turns out he was British, recently released from prison and known to have serious mental health issues. Once he was...

    According to the government's own figures we've had capacity for over 320K tests a day every day since 21st July. In that time there's only been 3 days where we've done over 200K tests. Yet we're told people can't get tests and are being made to travel for hours. Something doesn't add up once again.

    They were discussing exactly that on Radio 4 recently and they seemed to agree that if it was implemented properly those issues could be avoided. Spoke about things like rent controls which they said would be very easy to implement as every property already has a council tax band which could be...

    They had someone from the O2 Arena management team on LBC this morning who said they weren't expecting to be allowed to run any events with crowds until April 2021 at the earliest.

    There's nothing stopping companies making jobs that don't exist redundant other than them not wanting to pay redundancy. Don't know how representative it is but I know at my company there is a lot of staff on furlough yet speaking to the few that are in they are saying its chaos and the workload...

    The advise hasn't actually changed has it? Looks like they've just changed the law to match the current guidelines at the request of the police.

    Yet since they suddenly changed the daily figures from the number of tests done to test capacity to try and fudge the fact they were way below the promised numbers we've been told there's masses of unused capacity every day. Also if the issue is lab capacity and not the actual tests why are...

    Match Thread Solihull Moors Away

    Got to be honest, completely forgot we were playing tonight. Don’t blame them being extra cautious with Jones. Good to see Dabo and Rose getting minutes. We either have amazing physios or their injuries maybe weren’t as bad as initially made out.

    England v Denmark

    yep, I’m watching a meaningless game of cricket in a series England have already won rather than the football. Southgate has defeated me!
