Nah, like the “there’ll be Brexit riots” lot, most of the frothers are all mouth and no trousers.

To be honest the real worry isn’t so much the basics but by cutting things out demand will fall across the economy and cost jobs elsewhere. Like the issue with deaths from lack of NHS capacity, it’s the side effects of this that’ll be really harmful.

I don’t think he’s said we should be in lockdown weeks ago. He’s said we should be doing more social distancing earlier so we don’t need to. Could have misread though.

Hahahahahahahaha. Love it. He’s made the rod for his own back with all the household economics bollocks and it’s going to come back and bite him. Oh the irony.

Gawd love ya Steve. I know we won’t agree but don’t worry, the economy will boom after this from feel good factor alone, I’m not worried. Debt will skyrocket everywhere and we’ll pay it off over a hundred years or more and inflation and growth will reduce it. As long as we don’t cut demand from...

Just like those famous post war austerity years...wait.

Who has said we should go into lockdown at all? Let alone weeks ago? People have been asking for stronger “advice” or enforced shutting of pubs, no one is asking for lockdown.

Single income family in London might disagree with you TBF. That’s what? £30k/year? (I assume this is pre tax)

Everyone who isn’t made redundant or on ZHC, but yes credit where it’s due. Let’s hope employers don’t take the piss.

Oh no! He’s shut the gym! Just as I was about to start going. Dammit.

Someone really needs to be making a list of good and bad corporate responses to this.

What an utter utter scumbag Brexit tramp he is.

Yep, and the highest satisfaction, lowest waiting time’s, etc etc etc. The fact is the quality of NHS you get is directly tied to the level of funding it gets. Anything else is small potatoes. The Andrew Lansley reforms didn’t help either. That’s why it’s political. Tories always try and cut...

Temporary UBI really is the only sensible action. Claw it back later through the tax and benefits systems if you’re worried about people who don’t “deserve” it having it. Frankly having too much demand is not going to be a problem right now. Anything else requires complex applications and...

Like I say even if they’re working we won’t see for 2-3 weeks after lockdown starts. I’ve lost track of when they put the serious measures in. Doesn’t look good for us avoiding lockdown.

I think he’s just talking about the lag between intervention and seeing results which is often stated at two weeks. How long have Italy been under? Has it been two weeks yet? If we don’t start seeing things improve when it has I’m going to get very worried about what it’ll look like here.

Sort of. But then I love my job because I’ve always loved things like Sim City (and the Council planning map). Been ages since I last played it so cant help with the sewage sorry.

Love Cities Skylines.

Saw an ad for this. Really? What’s the attraction? Is it like FarmVille on steroids?
