Never been. It was always either Bundoran, Portrush or Newcastle we went to when I was a kid. Portrush was always my favourite as it had a good funfair and the Giants Causway but my memory of Newcastle is it had the best beach. Long time ago though.

Smarmy bastards.

Don't they mostly work from one of their houses anyway? 10k?

Shame on them.

Fake news. It’s up to £10k that can be claimed for staff purely to enable them to work from home if they can’t already, it’s not £10k for MPs and like all other expenses it’ll be audited.

Oh dear. Great description of a City with one of the strongest economies in the world, thanks in a large part due to the multicultural sharing of ideas fuelled by flexible workforce and immigration. Try keeping an open mind and getting yourself some proper education. You are never to old to learn.

London is a shithole in many places. London is multicultural in many places. Nobody can deny this.

But to say London is a shithole and multicultural is a different matter. It just puts a different slant to the truth.

Right il say it, but don't think it will go down well..

This supposed lax monitoring of the lockdown by police etc. Anyone thought it may be intentional? Lets say what, 80-85 % of the population are observing this lockdown best we can. The remaining 15 -20% doing basically what they want, isn't that putting towards any sort of 'herd immunity' whether thats needed or not. You add this to the supposed 30% of asymptomatic infections that numerous studies have mentioned, thats pushing 50% of the population infected.

They are putting themselves at large risk of infection, but isn't this just natural selection taking place if they are too thick to grasp the concept of lockdown?

Maybe a bit tin foil hat, but its the only reason i can see for the lack of strictness coming from the government. I see it as If the idiots want to infect themselves crack on basically, it's their own risk and will still be manageable levels in ICU

And here is one of the problems. The truth hurts.

The other problem is that the idiots infect those who aren't idiots. Not many but 1 is more than enough.

I never criticised London for being multicultural you div, saying it was a shit show was in reference to the Coronavirus. So if you could not lump me in with Coventrian that would be great, thanks.

But what would ever make anybody think that a proportion ot the population aren’t idiots, Of course
they are ‘some are proud of it, if they were ever serious about a complete lockdown then the only
Way to achieve it is to completely lockdown ‘no ifs or buts.

As the old saying goes ‘If you give them an inch ‘they’ll take a Mile’ :emoji_thinking: solution ‘don’t give em an Inch.

So I assume you’d ban all supermarkets as they are now the biggest likely source of infection

The chief constable of Northamptonshire is having a mare.

Gave a press briefing saying his force would check trolleys and baskets for non essential items. 10 spokesman says once again that if a shop is deemed essential and remains open once there you can buy anything in said store. Chief constable pretends he didn't say this even though his briefing was filmed.

The dibble are having an awful pandemic

Woman I work with is married to a copper. He says it's absolutely dead at the minute as crime has plummeted (he works for W Yorkshire police in Leeds). This is definitely a case of the old bill making themselves busy.

Not obsessed but I am fascinated with it all- are you gonna do this after COVID19 is gone? Every day put up the number of people who’ve died that day in the country saying either “amazing news!” or “that’s proper grim” and get over the top happy or massively depressed? I don’t understand what’s so hard to grasp about it being something to look at over time- yesterday was bad, today better, but it doesn’t mean anything in isolation- god knows how many times people have said it to you at this stage
