I would assume they will use predictive grades /course work completed as a guide

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

Princess Beatrice has scaled back her wedding reception arrangements - is there no END to this misery??

 

[Grendel]

Makes sense.... that’s going to be a very complex piece of work to do.

Lol that’s a joke

Same as promoting the top two teams in every league, really....

Why?

 

[Grendel]

Why?

My children’s school always have predicted grades as to what they needed to get to their first choice university

Evictions from rented accommodation to be banned for three months by new legislation.

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.

You’d hope it’s tied into loss of job/income

 

[OffenhamSkyBlue]

You’d hope it’s tied into loss of job/income

i.e. providing some form of evidence??

I’d take that

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.

On my way home from work today the roads were quieter but all the bars and pubs j went past appeared rammed....people think it's a holiday...if that carries on after Friday, we're all gonna get locked down

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.

Bablake or Henrys?

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.

Indeed. He can be a shifty little god.

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?

Nothing like a bit of info like that to focus the mind...

Anyway there is suggestion they will lock down the capital - what do you make of it?

 

[shmmeee]

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.

 

[covmark]

Haha the army are moving vehicles around major routes all the time. Fucking hell

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.

Lock down ? Knock down would be better.
