It is actually something that is included as part of the salary throughout the year with extra vouchers at Christmas. Workers get 13 or 14 monthly salaries plus vouchers to buy food. The vouchers can be used in certain supermarkets, restaurants and cafes. At my work we have the option of a 3 course lunch every day so we do not get them.

I think the biggest problem for the Tories will be the economic situation that follows from this, as that's supposedly their strong point. Could lose some of their traditional voters as well as their recently acquired Labour voters. But as I say they've got pretty much a full term to ride this out.

Part of me things they'll use this as an excuse to get Brexit extended indefinitely so it remains an issue next time around and they can go through the same playbook.

Doubt it. So much of their new vote is personal and social media bubbles seem to make culty politicians immune to criticism.

4,000 new cases in Italy today. Looks like (with a lot of hope) that they are on the down part of the curve

There were not 4,000 new cases, the way it is reported there is not correct.

I think Doris would have screwed things up big style, but he’s now got the best excuse in the world when the economy tanks. I think he’s bomb proof now - 10 more years....

Italy:
Deaths: 837
Positives: 2107
Recovered: 1109

As you can see the reporting of 4,000 odd new cases in the UK media yesterday was not correct, the figure they were quoting is these combined, so very misleading.

@ccfcway - there were 2,107 new cases.

There will be a political fall-out once this virus issue is over. Who’s going to have the guts to reduce the frontline NHS to anywhere near the numbers of just a month ago, then there’s social care, then there’s the shortage of police, then there’s the poorly paid “key” worker drivers, cleaners, council workers etc, etc., these will organise believe me.

Yeah, it isn't new cases of people infected.
The number of number cases is 2,107 - that is the total number of the figures I provided combined.

What are you talking about? The NHS frontline is the same size substantively, it is relying on thousands of volunteers at the minute. The Tories will get back in to austerity as soon as they can do, and the idiot media class and stupid electorate will stand by applauding.

Ultimately they’ll lose it elsewhere as people aren’t shitting any more than they were. Food consumption at home is up something like 60% during lockdown though (more if my eating habits are representative).

Lots of winners though, Zoom stock is through the roof. As an online business we’ve had record interest recently with everyone stuck on the computer at home.

But we are now doing 100% of our shits at home so it's a good time for Mr Andrex but a bad time for companies that supply that generic office sandpaper arse wipe.

I saw that a 12 yr old died in Belgium as well, not sure if that was today- don't know how you even put that level of tragedy into words.

Hows this? Apparently your risk from dying from CV is the same as your risk from dying anyway over the next year. So you should be no more worried about CV than you would’ve been doing your normal life over the next year.

Excellent... I think!

Unless my time is certain to be up in the next year, of course
