That’s hilarious you will have people going to Med School who would have ended up with E grades

How will that work? People might abuse that and just not pay rent.

Private renters might get fucked over massively.

Don't think there is any distinction between private and social renters

I think we are on the same page here. I think predictions are incredibly risky and open to abuse and corruption.

My children went to a private school and we never influenced the process but I know that many did and forced predictive grades up

Pretty bonkers here at all our posh seaside resorts (Southwold, Aldeburgh, Blakeney etc) as the second-homers flee London and now will be bringing their children to further boost the population and as the city becomes deserted these places are heaving. Pubs and restaurants doing a roaring trade. Streets packed!

Presume you will still owe it and have to pay it at some point. Just they can't kick you out if you can't pay now.

Some upsides to the Corona virus include the future culling of the anti-vaxxers, homeopaths and religious nut jobs relying on their gods’ protection, the cancelling of Eastenders and the beautifully clear skies. :happy:

Sadly just like now they’ll benefit from herd immunity.

Give em an island where no government will force them to take vaccines.

My daughter has phoned to tell us that there's talk on facebook (we're not on facebook) that there is a lot of movement on the motorway (she thinks it might be the M6) of army vehicles. She says a lot of people think its preparation for lockdown.
I think they might just have got lost in all this rain.

Beware Hermes.

If a safe place hasn't been chosen but there is somewhere safe to deliver the parcel, then couriers will leave it there, even when there is someone in the property.

Our headteacher told us she had heard they were getting together a mass movement of army vehicles on the A1.

It's amazing what head teachers like to throw in at the last staff meeting before end of term/ the world.

I think there’s going to be a shoot to kill policy on any over seventies breaking the curfew. Anybody outside carrying Werther’s Originals will be fair game.

If its the video I've seen its 3 tanks being moved. Same thing that happens all the time. Even if the army were being called it not very likely they're going to be going round in tanks is it?

What the fuck would the army be doing? The presence of the words “on Facebook” should be all you need to know. Boris isn’t about to go from “please stay home if you don’t mind” to “bring out the storm troopers” in a day.

Who says Boris is making the calls? We need to know what Dominic is thinking.

Took the dog for a walk and peered in at the local expecting to see it empty.... nope.... all the usual suspects... but bizarrely they had spaced themselves around said pub. Fully intended to walk past tutting.... but instead popped in for a couple. First one on the house....so all good. But it did make me think if people are taking it seriously and maybe we need it to be black and white in these sorts of things.

Not in the one I saw. More large logistical peacekeeping monsters.
