All Premiership players should volunteer to have a 90% pay cut, and the money saved used to support teams at risk of collapse. For most of them they would still be earning considerably more than the rest of us!

Surely the time has come when the Tokyo Olympics are postponed for one year - it is unavoidable:

My sister is telling me that the Tube images are being played on TV in Greece and the pundits are saying that London is probably heading for a disaster in April.


 


 



Londoners don't seem to have got the 'social distancing' message

Thanks for asking mate. :-) 


I’m feeling a tiny bit calmer now my grandad’s funeral is out of the way. I had the hardest day of my entire career yesterday - single handedly managing a team of 30, closing down the office, a few of them were crying, delivering emergency briefings etc. One of them asked how long we’d be closed - I responded with “possibly around 3 months”, she left the meeting immediately in tears. We all think our jobs could be at risk soon.


Hope you are okay :)

Keep talking Joe!

There is going to have to be a major crackdown because otherwise those who 'talk a good game' - utter tw4ts like Beast and one of my friends who said he was going to stop going to the pub and then went anyway 'because he felt fine' - will continue to do so.


These people don't care about the virus continuing to spread more quickly because of numbers circulating in pubs, clubs, etc. All they think about is that they are OK, their friends are OK and so there is no risk. They don't care about asymptomatic carriers, they don't care about the elderly and the vulnerable. All they care about is their own gratification. They will contort any argument to justify carrying on as normal while slagging off the Govt and others for not doing enough.


It makes me sick to the pit of my stomach, frankly. It is just about the most selfish act possible. It should be as socially unacceptable as drink driving but unfortunately there are plenty of red-faced pr1cks out there who are willing to tell the Daily Mail or Sky News that there is no danger from going to the pub.


To anybody who is doing this, I say this: Get this through your thick f5cking skull - it is not about you. It is about the continued circulation of the virus among medium to large size groups. By ignoring advice, you are potentially signing the death warrants of scores of vulnerable and elderly people.

Presumably the death of one person being headline news on the BBC news is to try an emphasise the situation.

Most important bit of your little rant


This is the society we have built since the post war consensus broke down when Thatcher got in, and Keith Joseph and Tebbit took control of the Tory agenda with Friedmanite economic thinking


Each man for himself. Survival of the fittest.


Why are you surprised? This is what the Tories have done to us and I am enjoying watching it fall apart

"WHSmith will be doubling the NHS staff discount on food and drinks to 20% in all its hospital stores from Thursday.


The retailer said the move was in recognition of healthcare professionals’ efforts during the Covid-19 outbreak."


 I'd make it 50% though.
