    This isn't something to revel in is it? Really? What is your agenda?

    What is it with you and this agenda bollocks. The government promised something, something majorly critical, and they fcked up. Does me pointing that out mean I’m revelling in what happened? Because I ain’t.

    The article you presented clearly showed that the Govt was lied to. How did that constitute a feck up?

    The Chinese are well known for never producing knock-off cheap shite. It’s almost unheard of.

    In fairness it wasn’t that bad a deal, I’ve heard they threw in 100 Nike football’s so the PM and pals could have a kick about.

    And 50 furbies for the kids as stocking fillers.

    I hear there’s a bloke down Cannon Mills who’s selling a few tests. Cash only.

    2 things.

    People are pretty clueless, even if they mean well.

    If I was dodgy, I’d be doing whatever I need to do around about 8 o’clock on a Thursday night.

    They need to have a word with their PR people, they're losing the goodwill of the 'stay at homes'. This clapping and cheering, and the emergency services filming themselves dancing at work, was well recieved. As usual it then turns into a virtue signalling exercise seeing who can outdo each other for the most likes, 'We can fill a pretty bridge in London with lights and people, lets see ya beat that Manchester.'

    Right. Wasn't sure where to post this, but it's vaguely CV related.
    I understand the police have a very difficult job, even more so at the moment. But they aren't always helping themselves.
    8am in the morning, not much on the roads..........and there is a mobile speed camera van set up just outside Leeds city centre. Essential work?

    Don't help themselves do they? I'm no lover of them to a point where i wouldn't go out of my way to help them but then i see this



    Watching the clip ijn the tweets, sometimes their job is impossible. Moving people on for not following advice then baited by a 'journalist' who 'just happened to be out on a walk.' More like out looking for a non story which he will now throw on social media for likes and retweets. This idea that journalist are essential keyworkers grates with me. My bin man is more of key worker than these attention seekers. I actually admire the police officer when he basically tells the journalist to eff off, a shame they can't be more proactive like that when it comes to dealing with scumbags who blight peoples everyday life. Well, unless you're a football fan i suppose.

    I wrote quite a long reply and then deleted it as ‘pathetic cnt’ would suffice.

    Keep seeing all the pictures of the clap at 8pm from around the country.

    not sure why they don’t just give everyone whatever they gave those taking part in the crowds outside hospitals etc then we could all go about our normal business

    Wouldn’t surprise me to find out that the ‘prisoner’ could be his partner/girlfriend. Probably got nowt better to do now that the London cocaine dinner party scene is no more.

    Re the lockdowns a lot will hinge on what over countries are doing

    Once france and Spain start allowing the factories to reopen we are on limited time before the unrest will kick in

    Another 3 weeks of seeing your business turn to shit will probably be enough to cause this anyway

    As yet most business has not recieved a penny and is having to pay its workers until it gets refunded... a real cash flow problem

    If other countries start loosening the lockdowns further I dont expect us to be far behind

    I don't get some of the comments with regards people showing their gratitude, nobody makes you go out and show your appreciation for our NHS and others who are doing a great job under almost impossibly conditions if you dont like it turn the TV radio off, you know it's going to happen every Thursday.

    Clapping on your doorstop did/does the job but don't you think groups are just out now to outdo each other, the introduction of setting off fireworks undermines the original sentiment to me anyway..
