Better something than nothing. Job retention scheme, and increase to UC introduced. Finally a modicum of leadership. Obviously the Indian comes to the rescue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honey Honey Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 These war communism measures in the UK are the first step to a complete lockdown in London soon, probably next week. Finally. One London hospital already reached capacity in the last 24 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Italy now have 4,032 people that have officially died as a result of COVID-19, overtaking China in this area. I just wish that us Brits would take more note of this and become more sensible. The bars and pubs are still full of people for the most part in the UK. When will the vast majority of people take responsibility and avoid crowded places? Wetherspoons have announced that their bars will stay open, that's the wrong message to be giving out at this point in time in my opinion. If people continue to mix in public with others, then this virus is inevitably going to be with us for longer than most would want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair the guy who owns Wetherspoons is a Conservative party donor who printed off Vote Leave beermats to be placed in every Wetherspoons in the country so we're pretty high up on the gammon-meter when we're talking about him. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tune may change of bars after this evening's message from the government. Come next week they will force any closed that haven't. No reason to stay open now with these new economic measures. We will probably have 1000 deaths by next weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not surprised the dickhead who owns Wetherspoons is more concerned with making sure he still makes money rather than containing the spread of an infectious disease that no government has demonstrated they were ready for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to see some confidence and assertiveness over the usually bumbling and nervous-looking Boris. I haven't watched either of the press conferences that he has been involved with, but both times I have seen the reaction on Twitter where he has received praise from even the most ardent lefties. He does have the benefit of being the man to deliver the good news, but it is significant that he speaks well and is reassuring. Johnson speaks to people during light-hearted times, and they find him relatable, but the way he speaks and bumbles isn't exactly reassuring in a time like this.

Yes but based on the incubation period we theoretically need two weeks of lockdown to start seeing its impact. Granted it's been 12 days already so I hoped to see the situation improving already...

LFCMike Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Where do people who have already been laid off stand with this 80% wage thing I wonder? My missus works for a leisure club and they got rid of staff who were still on 3 month probation this morning. My missus has been there a long time so is fine but she's gutted for all those they've let go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
