    And please tell me in what way is that any different to now? Except it has been forced upon us?

    Also there is an alternative to austerity and “massive spending” you know?

    We are spending massive amounts now we allegedly don’t have. As I say it’s been forced upon us due to the pandemic.

    Back on topic, no decision to be made yet on lifting lockdown.

    He not only questioned Boris' government, but May and Cameron too, yet conveniently omitted to comment on what previous Labour governments had done so well at preparing us for such a health crisis. I was interested to know as I genuinely dont know

    I honestly don't believe that... that's what the government want you to believe so tou stay at home.

    When something is costing over 2 billion a day the I am convinced you have a plan. If not that's extremely poor leadership.

    Yesterday morning on the BBC news they said it is most likely an extra three weeks lockdown but they won’t announce it until next week, think it was one of the political editors who said it. Said there was no chance of the lockdown ending in April, have to agree there’s no chance they will just suddenly end it next week.

    As has been repeatedly said decision will be taken when the scientific data shows we are passed the peak. The government have acted throughout on the advice of the medical experts i expect them to continue to do so. Also if they came out and said something now everybody would relax and we would be back where we started

    Yet for all austerity and these nasty nasty tories, Labour aren't any nearer to getting into power, if anything they are further away.

    Scientists only play a part at the start then leaders have to make a decision.

    They is no vaccine. Scientists can say what they like.

    The government will have an exit plan for sure.

    I see, once again, people are trying to point the figure at one political party or another regarding the state of the NHS.

    I think you will find that the decline of the NHS has happened under the watch of Conservative, Labour and coalition Liberal governments. It is also doubtful that any other political party would have done more for the NHS save, maybe, for the National Health Action Party.

    We have indeed voted for and got the governments we deserve.

    They'll have views on the phases that exiting lockdown might need. But there'll be so many caveats, because this situation is so dynamic. Having a rigid plan, right now isn't practical or even useful.

    I don't see much changing between now and the end of May, based on what's being said publicly and the information being briefed by the government to the industry I work in. Slight relaxations in certain guidance maybe, but nothing major.

    And most would have been borrowed at very cheap interest rates I think Gordon Brown said that was the way to get the economy moving again, but Dodgy Dave and his helpers from the Lib/Dems preferred austerity measures.
    No doubt the present situation will put the Tory manifesto promises on the back burner, possible for many many years to come, Heathrow and HS2 should not even be considered.

    Today is the first day this week I've not been clinically hypothermic. My temp gets checked on entry to work, today was 37.... yesterday it was 35.4 and on Monday was 34.8..... suffice to say I don't trust the thermometers they use.
