You can’t compare the U.K. to other countries
Jobs for the boys. All these Tory linked tax dodging off shore companies will do is purchase from already established manufacturers and then sell into the government with a nice mark up, they’re probably even competing with government departments to buy stock up from already established manufacturers pushing the price up. Would have been much better to give a larger number of smaller contracts to the U.K. companies who could have switched production to PPE paying tax on that income while protecting the U.K. jobs of U.K. taxpayers.
I mean, there are more clued up people than me on here who may be able to point out the legitimacy of this contract. I just don't get it though. How is this not front page news?
Would need to see the full OJEU notice but I've already told that Jolyom not to assume it was a competition, where it's a contract awarded without competition it'll say there has been only one tender. Needs to look at Section VI of the form.

Hope this is above board and as it seems. Already had friends in the industry flag up that the Arts Council was asked not to announce who had been successful with applications for previously announced funding last Friday so the government could re-annouce the funding. Hope that's just a coincidence.
Fair play to Rishi and the conservatives coming through with this one

Assuming it is above board then fair play for finally stepping up but it shouldn't have taken a huge campaign and a threat that the ROH would permanently close to get it done. Once again it shows the government not sticking to its own plan due to the response from the public. The delay means there's already venues that have closed and jobs that have been lost.
I'm having my first coaching session back with my lads team today and we will adhere to the social distancing measures. Cannot wait. 8 year olds will be mad to have a 'proper game' though so I hope the science supports a return to normality, for the grassroots game asap.I still don't get why people can cram into pubs but an outdoor football pitch cant be booked for 18 blokes to have a game of football to keep fit?

In theory you're keeping your distance from one another in a pub I guess, whereas a full-blown football match...I still don't get why people can cram into pubs but an outdoor football pitch cant be booked for 18 blokes to have a game of football to keep fit?

Apparently balls are also a vector of disaese or whatever in cricket, guess the same applies too for football.
Don't shoot the messenger, I don't make these rules! Just trying to rationalise the irrational.
My sons U9 team have been back to training for 2 weeks now. Split into bubbles of 5 with each player having their own ball - mostly been doing practicing technique and fitness. Not had any games yet at all - some shooting practice is the closest they’ve come to interaction. Must say that considering it’s all done by unpaid volunteers the thought and planning that has gone into making it possible to train whilst staying very safe is excellent.I'm having my first coaching session back with my lads team today and we will adhere to the social distancing measures.

For the most part I think people are on board with what is required. What I have planned sounds pretty similar to what you have experienced with your son's team. Shooting at the end will be the game replacement, I'm aware that there are some carrying on as usual, full contact sessions with games etc. Not at my club though thankfully. To give the FA credit their guidance has been good, updated inline with changes from the government. Of course, football locked down before the government too so that was a good proactive move from the FA.My sons U9 team have been back to training for 2 weeks now.
