The irony of a company that's spent decades filling lungs with shite could save the world from a respiratory illness. Or maybe it's something they've been working on anyway to try and beat the damaging effects of smoking?

Probably, but there will be those who'll spin as not the fault of the healthcare system but of the individual for not being covered.

Yep. MP's/councillors are glorified company reps with an over-inflated opinion of their self-worth. Nowhere else would you get someone as head of finance with no financial background or have massive staff turnover on a single night and just be able to continue. They're mouthpieces.

Not necessarily. They may have chosen different expert advisors.

Trump is bad but Bolosnaro is different league. He's basically said "Hold my beer......and my Jagerbomb and my packet of crisps"

Given the lack of travel at the moment they could have taken charge of a load of coaches etc and got everyone on them to different regions and taken them to the place they'd be staying (being repatriated I imagine most would have somewhere to go). Then told them they should act as if under...

Yep. If he sees someone tomorrow who tells him this is just a bad flu he'll be back saying that again.

But they also be using it as a means of saying "we weren't able to save your nan's life because we don't have the resources and efficiency of a private company. They of course won't mention the fact that they've massively underfunded it, failed to take necessary precautions that the health...

Facon?

No, they'll be out putting bullets in anyone who is questioning their figures

Yeah - if people don't realise now that it's those at the bottom that make a difference and it's services more than money that counts we've got no hope.

Not for a bit. But the Tories aren't in a rush and will gradually bring their narrative back in by the next election, using the economic downturn this will cause as ammo.

But if everyone hoarded April may be a lot worse than normal. Guess it depends on how many people stocked up perishables they've had to chuck, but most of it seemed to be stuff that would keep for a decent amount of time,

It won't be immediate as the value of the health service will be prevalent in people's minds for quite some time. But they don't have to rush as they've got five years for people to forget. But it won't be too long before some are saying how poor the NHS was to deal with this situation and call...

I like take no pilsners.

Highlighted the relevant bit. If you don't spend £15 then they just say you owe nothing. If you wanted the full £15 you should've added something else into the basket to take it above that level and paid the difference. T&C usually don't include extras like tips/delivery. The £5 thing seems...

Is this something different to what was mentioned the other day? Because that 'new' bit kit to me seemed to be a snoring aid called a CPAP machine that've been around for a little while. Or has it been modified in some way?

What makes it doubly galling is not necessarily the failure to close the borders but those arriving were either not tested or not forced into immediate isolation/quarantine, especially from badly hit areas like NY. Makes a mockery of telling the public to follow guidelines to prevent infection...
