Put it in a quote as its long but I'm speechless. He's basically declared Sports Direct an essential service.

To be honest I'm still not entirely sure about the 80% thing they announced for salaried employees. It seems to only apply if you still have a job. ie: your employer can claim back 80% of your salary. But if they decide they don't want to pay the 20% it seems like you're in the same situation...

We've got plenty of clients doing the same. Seems to be very few companies that actually give a shit. Of the ones that have closed you get a suspicion that a decent percentage of them have done it because its more cost effective than staying open.

Hopefully they publish something a bit clearer but even if they do expect there will be confusion tomorrow as not everyone will read something they stick up on a website.

Exactly. They've completely failed to get a grip on the problem. Just parroting that there's no shortages. So now they've told people to shop online, people will try to book and see no slots and head to the store to buy what they can. Will have to wait and see but can easily see it being the...

What's the point of telling people to do their shopping online if there's not the capacity to place an order. Surely they should have spoken to the supermarkets first and got this lined up.

Europe dates run 26 May - 18 July so almost certainly off. Starts in the UK but some European countries have already banned large gatherings into June. They then start a US tour on 18 August so doesn't look promising for rescheduling.

Informed by who? I come under one of the key worker categories they announced last week and haven't been told a thing. Are you sure its only keywokers? The likes of the Guardian are reporting it as anyone unable to work from home.

They need to clarify this fast as once glance at social media shows there's a lot of confusion. Is that only if you're a key worker? Or is that someone like a builder who can't work from home? Can't see anything in that which will prevent the same scenes in the supermarkets tomorrow we've seen...

Well at least that's all nice and clear. FFS, people couldn't follow don't go out, make it simpler not more nuanced.

He seems to be in favour of sending everyone back to work as the economy is more important than people dying.

That all sounds positive. Lets hope it can be maintained.

Good to see they're worrying about things like this rather than PPE for medical staff or making sure people can get food.

Was just going to post that. What the fuck is wrong with people?
