    Have you actually read the article? There's already health inequality before you even get to coronavirus. That links to high levels of poverty which you could reasonable suggest means people from those communicates are likely to have little choice other than to stay working and are unlikely to...

    Pretty sure we have people from BME backgrounds in the city. If they are being disproportionately impacted that is in issue isn't it?

    Would open up a whole can of worms if they tried to void the season. Think of how many season tickets holders there are throughout the country. Some lawyer would take that on and claim refunds as the matches were meaningless. Clubs who were odds on for promotion would take legal action. Whole...

    With different countries stats being measured differently its hard to be certain but when its all over I'm sure the data will be poured over and the numbers crunched so it is comparable. If that shows we've done significantly worse than other countries there will be questions to answer. As you...

    This raises the question of why Dyson and Babcock are using their own, new and untested, designs rather than those already in existence. Can't be an issue with patents or anything like that as it says the Ventilator Challenge UK consortium is using existing, already approved, designs from Penlon...

    Hope we don't have to worry about this as the season will be finished at some point but if it isn't the club will need to minimise losses. Their best option is to probably offer something like free tickets to checkatrade games next season. Think most people would accept the financial impact on...

    Bit more to it than that. Clubs are having a vote to either void the season (not going to happen due to potential for litigation), end the season now (would risk losing Europa and Champions League places as not approved by UEFA), or postponing games until things become clearer (this is the...

    Tragic. Once this is all over can see law suits going on for years. What do you suggest he does? The government continues to allow non-essential work which means people need TFL to get to their jobs. Are you expecting him to order the buses and tube shut down?

    They won't bring it up themselves directly but they will feed it out, whether its true or not doesn't matter, we saw that in the last election. Its already happening, take a look on social media on any post mentioning Starmer. Just gets people bringing up Saville in response. The level of...

    You're right he didn't. He was reported to have said, on a call to manufacturers, that efforts to source ventilators should be called operation last gasp.

    Seems to be a few companies using it as an excuse to do whatever they like and ignore normal HR procedures. We've been told no holiday will be allowed once we're back and this years raining allowance will be split between the next two years.
