The Government may seem reluctant to enforce what is needed but the military will have been briefed and the plans drawn up to be called upon within 24 hours. 
If we continue to raid supermarkets and act irresponsibly these measures will be implemented and the government will have the perfect excuse to carry it out.

He is a cretinous self serving idiot whose only concern is go keep the money rolling. Whoever at the bbc decided to get this idiot on should be sacked on the spot. Balance does not include stupity.

I would say, though, that whilst that bellend Martin might have started out wanting to make money, he's also absolutely wedded to perpetuating that 'they can't tell me what to do' pub bore mentality. His support for simplistic idiocy like Brexit and encouraging people to flout guidelines in place to slow the spread of this virus are just how they've most loudly manifested themselves, but I suspect this sort fo attitude is akin to a religion for him.


I was hardly a frequenter of Wetherspoons before all this, but I'll never set foot in one again.

The government announcement is that schools are closed next week with the exception to pupils whose parents are key workers.  Key workers are a number of different people including staff working in education.  Please see the government list.


Lots of children may turn up on Monday, perhaps up to 200 pupils, so all staff need to be in on Monday.  If the number of children that turn up is low, we will review.


At 5pm this evening we will send an email to all staff detailing plans for next week, please read.


The plans will be fluid but all staff need to attend Monday.


Schools are staying open to safeguard pupils.

The die is cast now and we are probably heading for hundreds of deaths daily by the end of March. Hopefully we'll never reach the Italian daily numbers, but our high numbers could easily last longer due to the half measures.

 I caught this thing from the head (who's my age, said it was a "chest infection" and not to worry as she coughed all over) and it took just over a week to show symptoms. The head had had meetings with the "executive" head, who works 4 days a week at our school and 1 day a week at a school with confirmed Coronavirus.


I'd dismissed all of that as a coincidence (after all, it felt like a cold coming on and I've had dozens of those), but the cough is unusual and even though my sore throat is easing I haven't become snotty as I would with a cold. Whatever this is, it's not a run-of-the-mill winter cold.

Managed to get some beef mince and some eggs, neither of which I've seen on sale in about a week.


There were signs everywhere stating the 4 of any particular items max limit. Yet the woman next to me still tried to buy about a dozen packs of rice (she was black and had a foreign accent so perhaps she hadn't understood the signs, but FFS, it's been a consistent message)

As far I know, most supermarkets had issues around here yesterday with many shelves empty (even for fresh produce). Again though I think this is temporary and next week will be much better. Both demand and supply (less range, more staff) will adapt and the hunkering down mass psychology should abate a bit (famous last words!)

By you own logic, anyone who goes to a supermarket or work or leaves the house is guilty. Unless we impose Chinese total lockdown and confine people to their homes, this cannot be contained


Just let it rip. If Nadine Dorries can make a full recovery, so can we all
