The Independent hasn't been printed for 4 years!

If I was a PL footballer I'd feel pretty guilty seeing out quarantine in my huge mansion while the club staff are worrying about how they're going to pay the bills. The amount of money we're talking about would be peanuts to first team players.

Same here. God knows what I've posted on here and twitter over the years but I'm sure it wouldn't take long to find something that didn't look great. But then most normal people don't go digging. Didn't Gilbert once go years back through someones twitter history when they had a go at him and...

The NHS is swamped but we've got staff sat at home because they haven't been tested.

First it was Andrew Neil and the Daily Mail but now even Dom is criticising them you know there is a problem!

Wouldn't it make sense for them to also issue adjusted figures as they go along. So you have something like figures for how many tests were submitted each day and what the results were rather than just the date they were completed. I know we are told its 7 days a week but there's a jump after...

Its crap isn't it. I know there's loads in the same situation as we are but that doesn't really ease any worries. I got notified about an hour after a team meeting where we were given last months stats which showed it to be by far the busiest month in the companies history so you can't help...

Bet he's put the prices up as well!

It is, if not been done already, going to be suspended along with with things like the need for planes to fly to avoid losing landing slots. Not exactly environmentally friendly to have loads of empty planes flying around just to ensure they keep the slots but that's exactly what was starting to...

Spoke too soon. Despite being busier than ever, did an extra 4 hours unpaid yesterday to try and keep up with the workload, and classed as keyworkers as we support medical facilites and food producers among others just been told that Friday will be my last day before being furloughed.

Is that for furlough or the loan scheme? The loan scheme does seem a bit of a shambles as its being left to the banks to asses if companies are eligible and it will come as no surprise they are trying to divert people on to loans they will make money from. Starting to see some of our clients...

Trump last week: "We lose thousands of people a year to the flu," he said then. "We never turn the country off." Trump this week: "A lot of people were saying think of it as the flu, but it's not the flu," he said. "It's vicious." Has the penny finally dropped?

Rather than looking at what's in the air, which could be private or cargo, better to look at the passenger airport arrivals. Heathrow has several cancelled flights from NY showing but also shows 5 have already landed today which possibly suggests cancelled flights are more to do with demand than...

Would like to think you're right but fear you're giving people too much credit. Unless Johnson gets up and literally says we're shutting down the NHS and replacing it with a US style system nobody will say a word as services continue to be sold off to their mates.

I work in IT. We've just had our busiest month ever by a long way, roughly 30% up on our previous busiest month.

Was going to say the same! 91 one beds on there, only 5 £1K plus, even two bed of the 149 listed only 81 are £1K plus. We get it, JLR pay everyone way over average and you're all taking early retirement and living in mansions while the rest of us make do with scraps.

What a surprise, Ashley's Newcastle the first PL club to make out they can't afford to pay non-playing staff's wages. Newcastle United put non-playing staff on leave because of coronavirus pandemic

Good way to pass Easter Sunday.

That'll be the problem. They're OK as long as people just pay the £30 fine but if people start challenging the courts are going to potentially have hundreds or thousands of these cases to deal with on top of their backlog.

No mention of the actual problem, basic factual errors and the only person they've bothered speaking to is someone who doesn't go. You'd think with no sport going on they'd have time to check these things.
