    Donald Trump was born on the North east coast, believe me even in their main cities there are plenty of them.

    hmm, looking at the photo in the link @Rogered Tart@Rogered Tart provided. Given that the Michigan protest apparently included white supremacists / nationalists, and gun rights activists, it is the seemingly lost irony of of the Swastika, a slogan praising WITMER (sic) or is it as suggested elsewhere, simply feckwittery of the highest order?

    Exit plan in here! 3 stage plan with many businesses/offices open May 11th

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8233143/Get-Britain-moving-Businesses-political-leaders-call-clear-exit-lockdown.html

    Garden centres, diy, hairdressers to open ASAP
    Kids back at school but could be dependent on age and area(my guess primary) - May
    Restaurant next but with space rule in June/July


    Hope for large events and pubs but that does depend on testing!

    * and elderly having to self isolate for 18 months! It's in there! I keep telling you!

    If I had it my why over 70's in England sent to Scotland!

    Being a chef in a hot climate can’t be much fun mate. I don’t know how you’d cope.

    A lad I know went off with his wife to run a bar in Torremelinos a few years back, he lasted one year. It wasn’t the life he expected, 16 hour days a week in peak season.

    We return to the Cala D’or area every few years. There’s a great beach at Cala Marcal that we love, with a couple of restaurants at the side of the cove.

    I think there was a collective complacency across most governments, and I think China has a lot to answer for in respect of that.

    We were clearly under prepared and mistakes have been made. I genuinely dont believe any other party would have fared better though. And when you look at the mess other parties are in, I think they'd likely have fared worse. I think the point on 'skipping 5 meetings' is sensationalism though, it lacks context.

    What I would say is that when the dust settles there needs to be a full public enquiry on our level of preparedness, how we MUST amend our response capability, how the NHS must be reformed and I'd suggest that it needs to be party agnostic, with changes enshrined in law to protect the public for future events like this.

    For anyone who can’t read the times article on Boris here is a summary.

    ”What we now know:

    -Govt failed to stockpile protective equipment to keep frontline safe

    -Govt failed to understand testing

    -Govt didn’t want lockdown

    -Govt sat back for 38 vital days

    -Boris Johnson missed 5 Cobra pandemic meetings

    -Now more than 20k are dead

    Shattering”

    Seems the powers that be don’t want Boris anymore and are leaking things to the press?
