And they said Corbyn would take us back to the 70s

Terrible arent we for being more concerned about our health than fixing a load of cars for posh twats. The rest of the plant were already laid off.

 

[clint van damme]

Why listen to someone who just making stuff up. They have closed non essential shops but lots of other not key workers will gave to go to work tomorrow. I personally know a couple whose offices are still open.

I will be working until Friday and we're supposed to be moving a production line to another facility during Easter.

Off work today but got a call about it later. Be intersted to see whether the move is going ahead

Well, I just dropped the missus off at work and there were exactly the same amount of cars on the road as there were yesterday. And as last Friday and Thursday.and Wednesday.

Guess when I have been dropping my wife off every day for the last year or so, all the others on the road have all been key workers.

Who would have thunk it.

Just seen updated guidance saying moving kids between houses is allowed. Thank fuck for that.

I drove up from Banbury to Cov this morning. (work in Holbrooks)

No noticeable difference in traffic whatsoever.

In fact M40 seemed busier if anything.

You can still drive your car to visit family members who are vulnerable and lots of people still have to work. I shall still be using my car to go to work and take a break from the house. Im in my car im not breathing all over some fooker. Dont expect it to be like some film like "The day the earth stood still" as the countries biggest employer is the NHS and you have suppliers and delivery drivers even down to your pint of milk needs to be distributed.
Universities are sending all the pupils home to families etc and lots of people will be staying with family for the lockdown so lots of traffic is expected.
Everyone needs to chill.

I thought this had been debunked already and is about a year old and the woman is having lung problems from smoking.

Her family says it is real kastvu saw. But inhave my doubts as what he says does match the visible treatment

Less of them!

Edit,its all gone off here and needless to say we've walked out.

Oh really, I would appreciate it if you can provide updates. I am on another site and in work today. PM me if you feel more comfortable doing that.

 

[djr8369]

The whole keyworker thing could be applied to pretty much most people if they wanted it to, surely?

Not a clue, its not clear on the government site, "HMRC will reimburse 80% of furloughed workers wage costs".

I really doubt that they will successfully set this up effectively. Of all the financial support they have announced how much will get to where it needs to be?

I thought I secured a fresh fruit and veg delivery from an independent source yesterday ,alas it never materialised in the end .
My first instinct was to get 4 times what I needed so I could distribute it among the three old girls who live opposite me.

I know for a 100% fact that there were gangs of kids spitting on people in London “for the crack”, a few got arrested and the coppers took the batons to them.

Disappointing that someone living in Oireland can’t say ‘craic’

The same amount of traffic though? The exact same amount after lots of lots of businesses have been told to shut down?

 

[Otis]

Backtrack. Good. The argument was weak at best.

What extensions do you mean?

Already happening in Northern Ireland where everyone has been given 12 months grace on an MOT. Nothing to do with Coronavirus either. It seems that the body in charge of inspecting MOT stations were so inept that when someone did it correctly the majority of MOT stations in Northern Ireland weren’t fit for purpose so they’ve all been closed for a nationwide refit and everyone gets 12months grace on their MOT.

When will the coronavirus outbreak end?

Sort of what we all feared but chilling to see it in plain English. This really isn't promising at all.

Wetherspoons are refusing to pay their staff any money until they get it from the government, and Tim Martin is saying that his staff should work in supermarkets in the meantime to earn money.

He is an utter c**t.

Some Italian mayors have a few choice words for their citizens:



Massimiliano Presciutti, the mayor of Reggio Calabria, is angered that people are using their dogs as a poor excuse to leave their house for unnecessary reasons.

“Where the f*** are you all going? You and your dogs… which must have an inflamed prostate?” he said in a video circulating on social media.

Giuseppe Falcomatà, the mayor of Reggio Calabria, says he has approached people on the streets running with their dogs, advising them that “this isn’t a movie.”

“You are not Will Smith in ‘I Am Legend.’”

Although a majority of Italians are following orders to stay inside, police say they fined more than 40,000 people in the first week of the lockdown.

“Getting in mobile hairdressers? What the f*** is that for?” Antonio Tutolo, the mayor of Lucera said. “Who the f*** is supposed to even see you with your hair all done in a casket?”

“Do you understand the casket will be closed?” he said.

In the meantime, the pub landlord who lives opposite my parents has just delivered a load of eggs, bread, and veg to them, and refused to take payment.

Won't name his pub yet so the masses don't descend looking for freebies but he can go on the good list!

Good to see people queuing at shops and packing out tubes and buses in London.

Yeah, i wasn't criticising you i am 100% behind what you're doing. My cousin works at Lear and put a picture up on facebook yesterday of how close they all were on the lines there. It is a joke. No fucker is buying cars anywhere at the minute.

He's a fucking c**t isn't he? The first one to cry 'nanny state' whinge about taxes etc. Now wants the state to pay his employees wages. I hope after this people start thinking more broadly about their purchasing decisions and his pubs are fucking deserted.

Army have been on the streets here since beginning of last week. Around key installations & 140 companies identified as being "key" (utilities, food distribution etc) placed under military umbrella.
real effect was a psychological one as public awareness of the seriousness of the situation is ramped up by seeing armoured vehicles at key junctions etc. Was a significant rise in "stay at homes" in Budapest almost immediately.
