Just hearing on the local news people who are being stopped by the police saying they have Corona. They threatening to cough and spit at the officers. Absolute animals.

Well I’m guessing they’d be arrested , or they should be . Im Sure Lots of offences cover it . Providing the police haven’t been told not to exercise their powers, the little scumbags can Be arrested same as those who claim to have Hep B or HIV in similar circumstances are .

In these worrying times the question we are all asking :

Hope so - my ma is too old to do her own gardening so I pay for a bloke to do it for her twice a month.

Nice fella aswell so hope he's still able to get out and earn a living.

What do you reckon the Stock Exchange alone turns over per day? Gold and silver turns over loads too,doesn't it?

The Forex market alone is worth $5.1 trillion a day and London's share is 36% = roughly $1.8trillion =£1.5 trillion. A 1% levy = £15 billion a day and £750 billion a year.

And rightly so but I’m sure it would be a slap on the wrist from the courts.

What courts?

whichever way you read "come" in that sentence that it is a shocking relationship between Judy and her gardener

Her married name Chatterley??

The Chinese ended lockdown in Wuhan, effective immediately. Now Wuhan people will roam all over China. Second wave if it comes will be devastating. We have to make sure no Chinese planes arrive in Europe until September.

The beauty of us being an island is we can monitor/limit who comes in easily.

Spitting even without this virus is considered common assault under law, probably be worse done to a copper.

Cheers, I thought turnover would be massive,still, I think 1pc's too high like, 0.1 or below is more realistic imo. Fairly sure some countries do this already

My lad was telling me earlier about one of his mates who is at Southampton Uni. The lads dad went down to pick him up to bring him back home last night, when they were driving back around 12.30 they got pulled up by the Police, the lad was saying the Police were brilliant.

Matt - I don't believe in the truth - Hancock should be sacked forthwith. If you put an idiot in charge you're bound to get the wrong results.

Hospitals are being sent the wrong personal protective equipment to guard against Covid-19, forcing doctors and nurses to take time away from the frontline to get refitted and learn how to use it, our colleagues Denis Campbell and Sarah Marsh report.

Hospital bosses have voiced frustration that they are receiving different sorts of face masks to the ones they usually use and for which have been tested. The masks are vital protection for medical staff as they repel moisture droplets from infected patients.

Chris Hopson, the chief executive of NHS Providers, has highlighted the problem as a flaw in the government and NHS’s drive to tackle shortages of PPE among frontline staff.

One intensive care nurse at a hospital in Yorkshire told the Guardian how she had had to spend £100 of her own money to buy a full FFP3 respirator mask online. In her unit on Monday, there were no masks or surgical gowns, another vital piece of PPE kit which has also been in short supply. Some staff have resorted to making makeshift PPE , sometimes with clinical waste bags.

Fantasy.

Even John McDonnell only thinks a revised FTT would raise £2bn.

Estimates are that new FT's would reduce by as much as 90%, massively impacting the potential revenues.

Some Tory MP, just raised the issue of a cruise ship with UK nationals aboard which is going to dock in Venice. He asked 'how would they get home to the UK'. Raab - cruise ship[s should find a safe port to dock and then fly home'. Has it not dawn on Raab that the cruise ship with UK nationals aboard should be directed towards the UK which is their home. Astoundingly and unbelievably stupid. But there again he did think Lima was in the Phillipines. And Raab has been the one designated to step in if Johnson can't. God help us.

So police are now doubling up as doctors?
