    If politics is out the window why are you banging on about the tory party? Do you actually read what you type?

    Because some are just clearly defending the government because they're a Tory.

    Concatenation eh? Fantastic word, now I've got a month to figure out how to use it in class when the little darlings come back. Thank you Dennis, I learned something today. :)

    Get your thinking cap on and get the kids to help. A good starting point for a bit of fun might be Trump .. although that might be career limiting if you come up with a good one! :)

    Already had that exchange with a parent Dennis. Morning after, a young lass asked what I thought of the new president. I simply replied I was staggered any female would vote for a man who opined that sexually assaulting women was ok. Her mother suggested I pretty much go back where I came from.

    Spain extending lockdown to 26 April.

    We will be in lockdown until the end of May. A long road ahead

    Nope. They chose the outlier advice that suited their political agenda - non-intervention - rather than the accepted medical scientific consensus from around the world. They had two months to prepare but chose to do nothing.

    But we had two months notice to react to this, but did nothing. South Korea acted swiftly and contained it. We should have learned from that, but Johnson and co were too busy attacking the civil service, judiciary and BBC to notice. Shocking dereliction of duty.

    I’d be quite happy if their names were taken and put on a list / register that denies treatment on NHS in the event they require it.
    The world is full of self entitled wnkers who need a shock.

    You'd get my vote. This is where I do feel for those making decisions in and amongst the government and their advisors. Mistakes have and will be made, but you cant legislate for people being morons. Or maybe you can. Maybe the lockdown needs to go further, and when it does I'd like the daily briefing to make specific reference to the morons who've caused it.

    Maybe the policy need a slight ‘tweaking’ - maybe anyone on the list is charged for treatment, paid by additional tax on future earnings.

    And you just know that all a load of those muppets will have been out at 8pm the other night applauding the NHS. Whilst filming it for social media of course, that's the important part.

    This crisis is showing the true colours of everyone, for the better and worse.

    Thing is, apart from the goodwill of the people there is little we can do with the social retards in society. Fine them? These fecknuggets don't pay fines. Lock them up? Not gonna happen. The selfish, lack of intelligence part of human nature that will never change. Only hope is some of these bottom feeders get a good dose of the virus but then they'd be the first to whinge about being ill and the poor state of the NHS. The older i get the less patience i get with these people.

    This is actually a great idea but would fall foul of the looney liberal lobby. Lets face it, people like Ian Huntley have access to fantastic medical care even after what they have done, we're not gonna deny treatment to some nutjobs who've gone for picnic in a park against advice. Personally i would starve the morons.
