    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    American election adverts don't mince their words!

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    You would think with all the accusations thrown around in the last few years that Starmers team would be closely vetting who was being appointed to prominent roles and avoiding, at least for the time being, anyone who accusations of anti-semitism could be thrown at. Yet someone they have...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Of course it affects people different but that doesn't make it a valid comparison between someone who had no symptoms to the point they weren't even aware they had it and someone who was in ICU for three days in a life threatening condition. Johnson himself said "it could have gone either way"...

    I'm going to take a wild guess that members of the forum that might have had it but showed no symptoms weren't in intensive care for 3 days.

    6th June Return ?

    Interesting that the article says there will be a pre-season starting May 16th given what Max said.

    Coronavirus (CCFC Related)

    Was listening to a NY radio station on line and they mentioned something from the NY Times where a WHO advisor queried why some events were being rescheduled for late 2020, said it was completely unrealistic and gave Fall 2021 as a more likely date. This was relating to concerts but you'd...

    Things that annoy you

    its not excusable but it would be incredibly naive to think its not going to happen. Same as when the council changed the rules on waste collection, it was followed by a surge in fly tipping which the council claimed wasn't linked!

    New Labour Leader

    Thought this is probably better in here than derailing the coronavirus thread again. The full report is online, lot of it at 800 pages...

    To be honest I think this serves more as further evidence that certain groups weren't actually concerned with anti-semitism rather than showing Starmer leaping into action. Lets give him the benefit of the doubt and say he knew nothing of the report, or the actions detailed in it, until he saw...

    Who’s at work/Not at work?

    Have you got a link to the actual criteria as I can't find them on the government website which only lists "If you cannot maintain your current workforce because your operations have been severely affected by coronavirus". As I've previously mentioned my company has more work than usual yet has...

    This doesn't seem good, only 1% of applications to the governments emergency loan scheme have been processed according to the Sunday Times.

    PPE isn't just used for coronavirus is it? What about things like MRSA? Can't imagine risking cross contamination is going to help things. If Hancock is saying PPE has to be reused as we're short then he needs to actually admit we're short rather than making it sounds like NHS staff are being...

    That's what I said! They have an additional 10K expense allowance. https://theipsa-web-staging.azurewebsites.net/media/185648/bulletin-19-march-2020.pdf Back in the real world the likes of you and me are entitled to a whopping £62 a year to cover the additional expense of working from home...

    You say its fake news then post the same thing! The document from IPSA even states costs related to home working are already claimable from the existing office costs budget. Does raise the question of why MPs and their staff need such a high allowance when the rest of us can only claim £6 per...

    What is confusing to me is why we have the same discussion about this every day yet people still act surprised. The ONS figures are more accurate but don’t come out daily and are always weeks later as they allow time for everything to be reported and allocated to the date of death rather than...

    Did find it amusing that after all the outrage at Sultana for saying BME backgrounds were disproportionately impacted the BBC has this morning been giving hourly coverage to the same story without any criticism.
