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...

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!

Also seems to be plenty of replies agreeing with him.

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...

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...

New Red Dwarf tonight at 9pm on Dave. 2 hour feature length episode. Looking forward to that, reviews have been excellent.

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.

According to this Spain went into lockdown 3 weeks ago and will start to loosen restrictions on April 26. Spain will slowly return to “normal life” starting on April 26, says government

While the rest of the country has pretty effortlessly switched to working from home it seems MPs need an extra £10K in expenses allowance to do the same. At the same time rules will be relaxed so they don't need to provide any proof of what the money they claim has been spent on. Can't see any...

Patel turns down committee appearance four times

Why are passport office staff being forced to work? Who the hell needs a passport at the moment.

The likes of Patel and Rees-Mogg shouldn't be in prominent positions if every time there's a spotlight on the government, such as now and the election campaign, they have to be hidden away.
