that’s the one.
Anyone would think all those guys had something to gain from it.
Come on. It’s not like Richard Tice’s family investment firm has 2 unknown share holders, 1 based in Panama and the other based in the Virgin Islands. No, wait it does. But don’t worry, he knows nothing about these companies as it’s non of his business and it’s not like he’s a director. Oh wait he is, a director who just so happens to sell one of these companies a very expensive property in Florida for practically nothing. Nothing to see here, salt of the earth fellla who pays all his taxes and randomly gifts assets to companies that he knows nothing about that operate from tax havens. Nothing to see, he said out means out that’s good enough for me.

Their military don’t think it’s weird shit and there ain’t nobody who can tell them different.

This is it- nobody can stop them, no country in the world will dare say anything (formally), and they don’t see it as big enough of an issue to order it to stop.

Ireland has now tested 30,213, but apparently the tests are now ‘tighter and more accurate’ which has meant that positive tests are now 15% of all tests instead of 6% before- would have thought these tests will be the same ones as in U.K. so expect the positive test % to go up now

Send somebody else's military in then.

Let's face it, if it did come from an animal market it has the potential to kill much more than an air strike.

I know what you’re saying and agree it’s dangerous, and having seen these things they are sick. But nobody is going to do anything to them- send the military in- any military and they’d last about half an hour, and everyone is so afraid of them that only Trump has dared say anything and he soon backed down, and that was only to divert attention away from him as opposed to trying to get them to do anything

Mmm. A Japanese car maker that uses its U.K. plant to sell cars in the EU duty free? How could brexit effect that? Still, at least the Sunderland workers can relax safe in the knowledge that a French company isn’t a major stakeholder in Nissan. Oh, wait...

You do realise that nissan announced earlier this month a 400 million pound investment into that plant.

Trump has announced he has no intention of enforcing the weak oversight laws put into his $2 trillion corporate bailout.

What does that mean- they’ll just hand it out with no checks on where it’s going?

It means that Steve Mnuchin will be dishing out as much cash as the corporations want. There was a provision in there that the businesses couldn't sack over 10% of their workers if they took funds.

By contrast American citizens are being given a one-off $1,200 payment which to receive you must have filed taxes in the last 2 years. To get it immediately you need to have your bank details on file with the IRS. Also note they have nearly doubled Italy's cases in less time-so screwed it's unreal.

Are you for real? Your absolutely hilarious!
I didn’t think it was possible for Boris to be more popular, but this virus will take him to a new level, He will be the fucking messiah when all this is over!
No he won't as his poor communication, lack of ability to get testing and his parties general underfunding of the nhs will count against him.

But we are now doing 100% of our shits at home so it's a good time for Mr Andrex but a bad time for companies that supply that generic office sandpaper arse wipe.

It has also come out that in 2009-10 the US government took out a contract with a company to make cheaper and smaller ventilators in case of a pandemic. After the prototypes were made, a rival company bought out that one and cancelled the contract. That larger company didn't build any more.
I saw a bit of Fox News earlier, they seem to actually believe Trump is some kind of deity

Anyone see Trump’s news conference? He just shat all over the UKs herd immunity plan-

“If you remember they were looking at that in the UK and all of a sudden they went hard the other way because they started seeing things that weren’t good. They put themselves in a little bit of a problem. They have a name for it, we won’t even talk about it. It would have been catastrophic if that had had happened. It was something everyone was talking about it...they use the expression, ride it out- you’d have had 2.2 million people dying. It’s a concept- if you don’t mind death”
Then some other woman highlighted our lack of ventilators.

You’ve really got major problems when Donald Trump and his team calls you out for being stupid

Seeing as they have 10 times more infections I’d suggest the orange fella get stuffed
