I was saying earlier that whoever makes the decision in terms of ending the lockdown, I just hope they make it following scientific and medical advice. As far as I’m aware that Imperial college research team was set up to advise the government. They produced their report and the government...

Correct, they followed the advice and data from Imperial College C-19 response team which was set up to advise the government

Not sure lockdown is ending any time soon unfortunately Clint. I’m guessing measures might start to be relaxed in coming weeks (mid/late May ?) There will be pressure on the government to relax them sooner but hopefully whoever’s in charge will follow the scientific/medical advice. That’s all...

Agreed NW. I think a lot on here have rightly said it’s more useful looking at the trends over a few days (On the other hand the media appear to react on a daily basis !!) In particular, confirmed cases and also hospital admissions (if/when the announce them). A downward trend here would...

Spot on. As you say he’s the leader of the country (not forgetting father, son, brother etc). As I say I hope it’s precautionary as there’s a big void without him

Did he say that ? Never been a fan of him but didn’t know that

This is awful, hope it is just precautionary. He really should’ve been taking a step back last week (and ignoring all the dickheads shouting part timer, lazy etc)

Liverpool have backtracked on furlough scheme (rightly so)...damage still done but better than them standing by their original decision

Yeah, sensible, my understanding too

Good shout about the claims not being possible yet, sounds like it’s their intention though (maybe/hopefully some of the larger/wealthier clubs will have second thoughts about claiming) I don’t think the scheme will be up and running until end of April

He’s having the same conversation on LBC (think you’d probably like him, not dissimilar views)

Knew you were a James O’Brien fan ;) Agree with the sentiment though. The reason footballers get the attention is that they are obviously well known to the public. My thoughts are that if a club is considering furloughing non playing staff they should see if an agreed cut in players salaries...

Rumours it’s St Thomas’ Lets hope he gets well soon.

My point was more that, from my perspective, I consider its more important in that role, to have an understanding of economics (which Dodds appears to have) rather than fixed ideological views. Maybe I shouldn’t have mentioned business at all. wish I’d never bothered posting now...was just...

I take the point but I’m just sharing my view as I don’t think I’m biased in the way you were thinking (maybe it’s justified bias in my mind !)

What do you mean Fernando ? I’ve said previously I thought Nandy had come across well when I’ve seen/heard her. In terms of shadow chancellor, would I rather someone like McDonnell who is ideologically driven in that role (what has he ever done in relation business and economics ?) or someone...

Anneliese Dodd as shadow chancellor and lisa nandy as show foreign secretary. Nick Thomas Symmons replacing Abbott as Shadow Home Secretary. John Ashworth remains in role I don’t know enough about the individuals but it does feel a stronger shadow front bench is being formed. Any thoughts from...

But as we know (as I’ve attached this previously) it wasn’t the governments plan to ‘take it on the chin’ Here is the transcript of what Boris Johnson said on This Morning about the new coronavirus This was from 5 March, 10-14 days prior to implementation of social distancing measures ie...

Haha, reckon every bloke with hair is having the same debate/conversation at the minute. Half my mates just shave their heads (so they’re fine), the rest of us are discussing what grade and the risks involved...especially with our ever thinning tops !

Tried to avoid this a bit more today (for my sanity) but always like to check as there’s usually some useful info/comments, especially from sick boy re: Italy. Is it too much to ask for all this ‘Johnson’s avoiding scrutiny stuff’ to calm down though. None of us know how ill he is so unless...
