If they sell pizza at a tenner a go they can say we're giving millions worth of pizza based on that price but if they only cost they a quid each to make its not actually costing them millions.

Might just be a cynic but my first thought was they have loads of stock they need to shift before it goes out of date.

I agree it's a good marketing opportunity to not waste ingredients that would otherwise go in the bin (although they could donate them to homeless charities as well although I imagine it's pretty strict at the mo whether it could be accepted as to proving it'd been stored safely and uncontimated etc).

But if it's based on the cost of the ingredients rather than pizza price it would be a lot more pizzas. Which is fair enough if it is - usually things like this giveing away £x of stuff is retail price and they actual bought for a fraction of that.

Just came in to post this.

Utterly disgusting, but not unexpected, from this shameful government.

People will still defend them though. Unbelievable. This should be front page news but no doubt it'll get brushed under the carpet like the rest of their dirty tricks.

It’s unbelievable you and sick boy and Ian were accepting of this deranged cranks tweets - well actually it’s entirely believable

The actual scandal is the political decision not to take part in the eu ppe and ventilator procurement scheme as confirmed on record by the permanent undersecretary to the fco

Asda and Aldi introduce a rule to only pick stuff up if people are buying it. Bit late, have they only just realised?

That should put an end to shoplifting

Beyond whatever the corporate scheming is, some people doing a really shit job at the moment get a bit of a treat (as much as Domino's can be). Though would be nice if others were recognised also

Still can’t find it in the live updates. Be very surprising as AFAIK they haven’t been developed yet.

Actual working tests that show if people have had it or not with a high accuracy rate? Or is this another thing Trump has just thrown out there that someone else will have to walk back later?

Fingers crossed its true.

Tbf Trump saying something doesn't mean it's happening, anyway!

or saying something didn't happen doesn't mean it didn't, as the Senate report just released on Russian interference proves!

When did it all become about tricking people into being on your side instead of presenting your best argument. I blame Campbell.

Campbell is now pushing some bizarre agenda to get Blair as an advisor for the government - fronting all communications and has published an exit strategy who wants to run

Tony’s position as Peace Envoy to the Middle East has to be the ultimate act of trolling

"Interesting" to see some EU countries refusing to help companies that are registered in tax havens.

Piers Morgan was saying the same shite earlier too.

One thing I don't get is all this social media shit.

We have hundreds of police rocking up at Walsgrave to film themselves clapping on a Thursday, we have staff in hospitals filming themselves doing dance routines etc.

There are doctors and nurses going home exhausted from working massive shifts and then you have pricks in hospitals fucking about with gimpy dance routines in their PPE which just undermines it all.

I wonder if someone will start legal proceedings against Trump for his constant selling of this drug as a game changer.

Large scale testing and early intervention measures.

In some places it has been working though? It’s all very strange

Fairly easy to distance in parts of Australia, too!
