Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

[Barnfred 55]

4x salary is pretty common for a lot of people I deal with, so significantly higher than what the NHS are being offered. Any NHS Staff trying to get life insurance at the minute won't stand a chance because of the new covid questions most insurers have implemented.

It's a nice gesture but nowhere near enough for the risk they're taking and the fact they aren't likely to get cover elsewhere due to their occupation at the moment.

This is in addition to the Death in Service cover and pension benefit the NHS staff will get

Err mate, the bloke you celebrate in your username was a card carrying member of the Nazi party Not disputing Johnson is an odious, racist buffoon, but glass houses and all that.

As was Hugo Boss i've heard .
I drink Coca Cola , have owned a Volkswagon , Used IBM, owned a Kodak camera & no doubt used a Bayer product sometime.
Even had a Puma tracksuit years ago.

We all have glass houses mate


Yes Boris is all you say & more.

he kind of had to force his foot in the door though . In fairness to Peston , two decent questions there .

Sorry I missed it. I would have recorded it had I known

Really?? I wasn't aware of that, I use the name because I like the trabs not the man. My point on Johnson stands though. If you're from this city or are an Evertonian I don't see how you can have anything but disdain for the man.

They'd be a very , very small minority...or thick.

Minority, yes, thick no....

That’s because what he wrote, however stupidly, does seem to describe you to a tee. Now put away the claims that somehow you are either a better Evertonian or scouser because of your tribal political beliefs....

I actually thought he spoke well today and said the right things, appealing for cross party unity and bringing the opposition into the decision making process as far as they can.

If it was still Corbyn and some of those on the margins of the far left shouting their usual hysterical tantrums this would be a non starter.

Starmer gives the impression of being a far better leader and statesman. I suspect he will criticise, but constructively, suggesting a better way - not just spend his time shouting murderers or something similar, as if leading some small factional rabble rousing protest rally

Slave labour and arms manufacturer as well I believe....but trackies eh, so that’s ok......

Arms manufacturer eh? Pot..kettle...black.

 

[peteblue]

Blood money....pity the front line workers didnt get a pay rise before the virus hit eh? A nice touch ? behave mate.

It is blood money and it is a shame that any NHS worker has died, and now there are many. But while nothing brings back a loved one, this sum, while being too low in my opinion, may still help their families and I hope it was offered in the right spirit.....

I think it’s tough for a lot of Scousers to understand how others from the same city can support a)the tories but specifically b) Johnson . The self pity city stuff when he was editor touched a nerve with many of us , doesn’t mean you can’t disagree pete but I didn’t like it and I find I remember stuff like that .

Of course, but I made arms for the good guys......
