And so?
Working from home is hardly a doss either, it breaks down the barriers between work and personal time even more.
I work from home and probably do on average 12 hours a day 6 days a week.

When I was WFH it was basically from waking up to going to sleep. That said it is undeniably an option that exists mostly for those in middle class jobs and most of those doing it that I know are complaining of having watched everything on Netflix as they’re only having to be on screen perhaps a few hours a day.

Wish the flood to Scarborough had started a couple of years back when a relative died. Might have got more than a pittance for their house then...

Australia and NZ pull out of World Cup
Australia and New Zealand pull out of the Rugby League World Cup because of "player welfare and safety concerns" related to the Covid-19 pandemic.
www.bbc.co.uk
NZRL chief Greg Peters said it was "simply too unsafe" to take part.
"The safety and wellbeing of our people is the main priority, and unfortunately, that cannot be guaranteed to our satisfaction.
"There are stark differences between how the pandemic is being managed in the UK compared to Australasia, and recent developments have highlighted how quickly things can change.
"The tournament organisers have moved heaven and earth to make this work, so it is not an easy decision, but the Covid-19 situation in the UK shows no sign of improving, and it's simply too unsafe to send teams and staff over."

I think their biggest concern is the isolation rules when they get back

Mmmm, Simon Johnstone chair of the RFL just done a rather vitriolic interview with BBC news.
Rather disingenuous I thought harping on about the female and disabled teams not being able to participate.
I hardly think that is the overriding concern for him.

He's in a job that pays a middle class wage and gives him 12 weeks holiday a year.

Hemce I said ‘most’. The bias would be overwhelmingly in favour of middle class jobs

I can’t believe the government are allowing the situation to sleepwalk into a problem
Make a decision on the test trace isolate issue.
Surely waiting till 16/8 isn’t necessary for double jabbed and additional 2 weeks to self isolate and can test from today
Are they just waiting for serious issues? It’s bizarre

But of course those on furlough will have been overwhelmingly working class (retail/hospitality/etc). I’m not sure trying to make this a class issue is particularly helpful.
Decoupling well paying jobs from large cities can only help local economies around the country which will almost certainly do more for working class people as a whole.

Everything will be blamed on the general public, and in particular young people. And the sycophants will lap it up rather than holding the government of the day to account.

Young people have also been dying from it too, including a member of this forum.

Should we end all pension spending? Everyone who gets that is old. What about social care, most of that’s old people too.
