    It has been much stricter in Spain. However there is a big difference between the UK and the likes of Spain, Greece and Italy. If the groups I was talking about last night were approached by the police, their attitude would probably have been "we aren't doing anything wrong" or "you can't make us go home". Our police then have to resort to strong words or persuasion. On the continent, where police are already more intimidating because they all carry guns, their reaction to the attitude above would be to get a big fecking stick out and smack em with it.

    With careful management the virus can be eliminated or reduced to absolute minimal numbers.

    This is easier for island nations, who can protect their borders more easily, to prevent new cases entering.

    In fact a quick check shows that every island nation has successfully kept numbers low and/or eliminated the virus. Did I say all? I meant all but one.

    Gilbert & Sullivan would have had a field day with all this. Donald would, of course, be the character who gets the patter song:

    "Women I grab in ways that are both underhand and devious
    My core support I encourage with sloganeering obvious
    Obama, Bill, and Hillary I think are more than odious
    But my achievements I must say are really quite stu-pen-du-ous
    And though my knowledge of these things is really quite at-ro-ci-ous
    With chlorquinone I medicate myself in doses copious
    And bleach I use to disinfect myself and others close to us
    And the results I must admit are really quite incredulous

    In sum in all those elements that we consider dear to us
    I am the very model of a very stable genius"

    RCB

    I agree the governments advisory information should have been made law but then the snowflakes would have been saying they have human rights to go out etc, the police were on a hiding to nothing with this advisory crap.

    Have a look and see how many "asylum seekers" are crossing the English channel on a daily basis.

    Getting escorted to UK waters by the French navy then our rescue crafts take over from there, turn them back around they will soon get the message, these people are paying French gangs to do this, which as you say the French government seem to be turning a blind eye too.

    Just read that the manufacturers have said it isn’t designed or tested to be used as a home test kit and should be used with a full blood sample taken by a health professional.

    Same at work Bronco in the office. Ive seen a couple of the younger ones hugging each other this week, they nearly all seem so blase about it.

    Told a young lad this morning not to come too close as he came over to ask a question, dont worry about me, he said, If I get it, so be it.

    The company is doing its best to with social distancing measures, then you get idiots like this

    Presumably you told him that it's not his welfare that you're worried about, but your own, and to stop being so selfish?

    One of Bradford's largest mosques on Barkerend Road is pursuing legal action to overturn lockdown rules on closure of places of worship, claiming it breaches their human rights.

    really. Would think a paper would have run that story.

    just Googled it and a few papers are covering it. Injunction refused but going to a full hearing at some point.

    I believe Ramadan ends on Saturday I would think an exception will be made for all Mosques at the end of Ramadan, if not it could kick off unfortunately.
