hell hath no fury like a cricket community scorned
It lacks consistency as he said "recreation and sport will be allowed" if they weren't indoors. As someone has said on twitter, you can go to your cricket club and get pissed while maintaining minimal social distancing, all things known to increase your risk of infection, but you can't play cricket, a non-contact sport, outside.

That's players who aren't in England yet. The PCB chief exec has said "the tour to England is very much on track and the side will depart as per schedule".

The players who are currently diagnosed will be isolated and will need two negative tests before travelling to England.

Yet tennis is safe according to the government Djokovic tests positive for Covid-19I know that.The point being, cricket maybe isn't as benign a sport to play as it's being put about here.
Not sure the infections in the Pakistan squad are actually down to cricket as the PCB said there was going to be no training camp in Pakistan. Its taking place in England instead. Thats why they're scheduled to travel to England so early. They're being quarantined at Derbyshire and will train and have inter-squad practice matches there.World number one Novak Djokovic has become the latest tennis player to test positive for Covid-19.
It comes after Grigor Dimitrov, Borna Coric and Viktor Troicki all revealed they had coronavirus after playing at Djokovic's Adria Tour competition.
We kept our youngest off school (yr1) not for concerns around safety but her big sister (yr4) couldnt go back so it would damage both of them by splitting them up. Hopefully both can go back soon even for a few weeks
Whitty and Vallance making it very clear that we're not 'following the science' anymore and the changes announced are not what has been advised by SAGE.
The trouble with 1 metre is that it's almost at the point of having no distance at all, it's like all distancing measures have been axed. At 2 metres it's a clear space. At 1 metre it might be easy to simply forget.1m+. Wow. 2m distance has been very rare the whole time anyway.

They have been talking about it at their school but time will tell I guessI don’t think there will be any additional years returning this side of the summer break, especially as the 1m plus doesn’t kick in until July 4th.
Every primary setting is so different based on size of cohort, size of physical buildings etc. A lot of primaries are making effective use of outside space to ensure adequate distancing.
As Brighton said earlier - for there to be a 100% return in September then that means there will be no social distancing in place.
I’ve been shielding (on medical advice ) since the lockdown began, my son had to move outWhat hasn't been mentioned much in among all this is all the shielded people are expected to go back to work. Now that seems a particularly odd decision to me. I can accept letting them out the house etc for their own sanity(!) but expecting them to be 1m away from people because it's not practicasl to sell more burgers otherwise...?
How many times? We can’t hide away forever everything will come with riskEasing several lockdown rules at once could boost virus, say UK scientists
You remember Dom saying the SAGE experts had declared this as say?
Well well well

You really are stupid.
The independence argument isn't "we don't want HMT that we pay into to help our businesses out" it's more "We think the interests of Scotland would be best served if we had our own treasury so we did't have to ask London to give us some of the North Sea Oil profits back".
We'll add Scottish independence to the bumper book of things you don't understand.
The economic case for independence was weak when I voted against it and it is even weaker now. Ignoring that the Scottish nationalists will argue for it no matter how poor the case is, because at heart it’s driven by anti English sentiment.
Yes the Stiglitz plan a number of holes in it and relied on always high oil prices but that isn't what Dom means is it.
Maybe not but the furlough scheme, funded by the central pot at Westminster, has enabled things that a Scottish treasury couldn’t afford. It has awkwardly shown Sturgeon a strength of the union
Turns out shielding was never really about keeping me safe,
It was always about keeping the NHS safe.
You do realise they are borrowing the Furlough scheme money? We can't afford it either.

No, but a fledgling Scottish state wouldn’t be granted those kinds of sums or have the future ability to repay. The debt burden is spread over a much wider area here.
That is simply not true.
Scotland would have had access to the international financial markets and the ability to borrow money. What the rates for their bonds and gilts woudl be is conjecture but they would of been able to like us to borrow the money for which ever scheme an Independent Scotland would of had. Also they would of likely still been part of the EU and had access to EU money.
