And if you've got a shitty employer who refused and said "be here at 9, leave at 5". If you don't you're on disciplinary. If you don't like it you can find another job. And due to money issues you can't afford to leave.

Had this very discussion with my boss this morning. He’s been trying to by disposable gloves for 3 weeks now as it’s part of our standard PPE for work and always has been. Can’t get them for love nor money. Now he’s got to try and source appropriate (I assume the government has clarified what appropriate actually means) face masks as well.

We got 3 free ones through the door from the region, since then more have become available and there is a law capping the price at 50 cents, hopefully the government have got something similar lined up.

Stop talking rubbish. When you come to the table for debate, admit your precious government have fucked it beyond recognition and then we can at least start some objective discussion. You’re still in La La land.

How many grandparents have died of the virus after it being brought into their environment via someone caring for them who got it off a child?

My god, what a refreshing change to have someone actually able to pick up on - and pick apart - the government's bluster and bullshit.

Doesn't have much charisma, but Starmer is good at what he does.

Are you watching it? He’s nervous had no eye contact shuffling his script like a back bencher. Johnson is cool accomplished and dominating the conversation

He is utterly incapable of answering a question.

With Starmer's background this is going to be a regular thing. In fact it will happen every Wednesday - he will pick apart Johnson's bluster with ease.

Johnson's style doesn't work so well with an empty chamber, he needs the braying Tories in the background for the full affect. Without them he just looks like a bumbling drunk.

No you didn't- you've just asked loads of questions, you have not made any statement on what you think should happen, you have asked multiple leading questions geared to try and make people feel stupid for the choices they have made, & for some bizarre reason to manipulate teachers into thinking they're skiving because the risk is actually non-existent.

As you are so insistent that schools should return, and that the risk is actually non existent- does this mean you still think its just the "social media hyperbolic machine" in full flow?

Apart from the list of questions he asked. Calmly and simply. So you are correct. He isn't asking anything at all other than the questions he asked.

It’s the first time I’ve seen Starmer. He looks like a dull zombie whose thrown the towel in already - lazy and limp I’m afraid - I expected better

What the hell is wrong with you?

He literally asked for clarification on 5 or 6 things around the lockdown, about quarantine, etc.

Boris didn't answer a single one of them.

Click to expand...

There are people are saying it's time for change. Moving away from economic factors as the main (almost only) measures that are given any importance and using a more rounded way of measuring the performance of the nation, including health metrics (physical and mental).

Giving less weight to financial services and more onto health and social care means the pressure to put yourself at risk by going to work is offset by the improved health of the people if they stay at home.

You I suspect would vote labour if a blob of jelly was there. He’s not going to convince fringe voters with a limp performance kine this. It’s early days I guess

You suspect wrong.

I have voted Labour, Tory and Lib Dems in the past.

You are utterly deluded., you think Starmer didn't ask any questions. He asked 5 or 6, and received nothing but waffle, not a single answer.

Some reports say a third of pubs will go under. Many businesses relying on the tourist sector will be dead if they can’t open - the airline industry is screwed anyway I’d guess as if the travel industry in general. Debt will be as a % of GDP higher than ever and this is a best case scenario of recovering some semblance of normality in the relative near future across the whole of Europe. That’s austerity with a capital A

He might not be very charismatic but he asked some valid questions and was ignored.
