......getting a balance here is really important, particularly keeping an eye on the bigger picture. Understandably, almost everything is coming to a stand still, things are shutting down and folk aren’t working.

As much damage could be done with those already struggling, dropping into poverty and homelessness. There has to be a plan for growth, and not keep the country closed for longer than it needs.

I’m fine and my kids are fortunate to be in jobs where salary continues regardless, but there are lots who are not so lucky. We must be mindful that lots are suffering who haven’t got the virus.

Merseyrail are going to a thirty minute service as of tomorrow. With regards to BTP and Police, there’s talk of swearing in retired officers ASAP.

the fact that we have internet in full speed makes things worse, it is like the plague or WW2 days but you hear and read everything, brain cannot process it and gives 404. At least if this was 100 years ago I would have minded my business in my yard, reading and working, just checking radio few times a day. disasters/outbreaks in globalised world for you.

Heard that too.

Makes sense when you think about it, as there’s still a lot they can do and have to offer.

 

[tsubaki]

yes, but its not as if there are egotistical rulers with bizarre hair and insane theories running around as they were in the 1920s, nor is Russia in the grip of a dictator

Civilian staff who’ve been ex-officers will be asked to be sworn again, even temporarily, or will be given exemptions so they can blue light drive.
