Its a joke isn't it. Had a mate apply for one of these jobs and he was told he had to commit to three months and would have to live onsite. The cost of which would be deducted from the ridiculously low wage. Rules out anyone furloughed or with any responsibilities.

Those are crazy stipulations, no idea if that is typical but how the hell is someone with any kind of commitments going to be able to do that? I'd have a look at doing a Saturday on the odd occasion just because it seems quite cathartic and you'd get a few quid. Clearly it won't work like that.

You get paid piece rate, any imperfect picks in the box and the entire box is rejected and you don't get paid. Its 10 hour shifts 6 days a week whatever the weather.

Can't imagine why of the 50,000 applications they had last time they pushed this scheme only 112 people accepted jobs.

Yeah but they’re coming over here stealing our jobs. Is that what you want because that’s what will happen.

That is false and shows you don't know what literally actually means.

Geeza? You fucking doesn't splashy c**t. It's like Danny Dyer living in his mums basement.

Come back when you know what literally means.

I see NHS X is involved and therefore write it off. An utterly pointless entity headed up by a narcissist who hasn't got a clue about healthcare but says what Cock wants to hear.

Some of the other characters involved in it aren’t too savoury either.

We have the capacity

What use is capacity if you don't use it? Still loads of people who should be being tested and aren't.

I see they’ve eliminated people tested from the graph used in the daily briefing as well today.

Why isn’t Johnson taking the press briefings now he’s back at work?

Has he been seen in public at all other than PMQs and his previous recorded briefing? I haven’t been paying attention, just seem to hear very little from him. Is he still ill?

Nope. We're in a middle of an international emergency and he's hiding away. He literally is a spineless part time PM.

Or the normal answer would be well done to Captain Tom instead of trying to pin it on something else, it isn’t hard to say well done on something deserved

Seems Cambridge University, home to some of the countries leading epidemiologists and virologists who are working with the government on the coronavirus modelling and response have decided that it no lectures are to take place before at least summer 2021.

But its fine for primary schools to reopen in a couple of weeks.

A leaked email seen by Varsity outlines plans for all lectures in the 2020-21 academic year to be conducted virtually.

Head of Education Services, Alice Benton wrote to Senior Tutors today to inform them that the ‘General Board’s Education Committee’ has ‘agreed that, since it is highly likely that rigid social distancing will be required throughout the next academic year, there will be no face-to-face lectures next year.’

Benton writes that the ‘decision has been taken to provide a degree of certainty to facilitate Faculties and Departments when planning for educational delivery next academic year’ and proposes that the move is ‘in line with thinking across the sector’.

I assume that’s just lectures and not tutorials?

Looks like schools might not open anyway, Guardian reporting another possible u turn.

Seems that both Labour and Conservative councils are saying they won't open schools on the 1st of June

Apparently they're looking at ways of holding small tutorial groups that maintain social distancing.

If that's going to be neccessary for another year then several industries are going to be absolutely decimated. Football being one of them

I was under the impression that Cambridge taught mainly through tutorials and not lectures anyway. Lectures are the public events rather than the course - it's all very different at Oxbridge!

Perhaps though the scientific courses still need labs

It needs to hurry up and fuck off.

Warwick is planning to have students back in autumn for start of year, although in what capacity remains to be seen. I don't expect big lectures to be held until after Christmas at least though
