    What other sites do is a matter for them. To be clear for you, cutting and pasting entire articles is not fine on here whether the link is provided or not. On BT, providing the relevant link is the order of the day and that shouldn't stop you from making your own informed comment on the article.

    No worries but as I say the Mail and other companies wouldn't be around if you can't copy and paste other companies stories. You report where it's come from. Just saying!

    However, heading and link is fine!

    Just posting a link with no heading is awful though. Just saying!

    Anyway, back to this awful virus.

    I see myself along these lines. I would be classed asright of centre in my views yet i have plenty of views that would mirror a left leaning view. I've always seen the most important role of any party in power is to ensure a strong vibrant economy backed by business, without it everything else is irrelevant, your public services funding is dependant on it. My views on politicians are well documented, interspersed amongst the shit are some well meaning individuals. They are soon brought around to tow the party line. Lets not ever think MPs are there for our benefit.

    So @Offcomedun@Offcomedun "Many Tories (not all) come across as downright evil to me, because I believe their political beliefs are utterly selfish and harmful to ordinary people"

    Tories ARE ordinary people and thankfully outnumber the left side of any debate....

    You have to wonder what would make anyone think this is acceptable behaviour, laughing whilst his mate video's this moron.

    Awful.

    And the resurgence of cases in Singapore will serve as a warning to the risks that exist with going too fast at relaxing the social restrictions that are currently in place. Balancing the short and long term impacts to health, wellbeing and economy, are going to be immensely difficult. I honestly can’t see things going back to how they were for a long, long time.

    Anyone else think our peak will be 1500 deaths a day? Yorkshire and north east now frighteningly starting to move up the graph the government release.

    Hopefully not mate

    I think we are in the peak now myself or extremely close.

    Read that at least 90% are following the lockdown methods, so the results should start down in a week or 2 HOPEFULLY!

    Patel just comes across like a conservative prick.

    She comes across smug.

    It's a battle between her and Hancock for the biggest prick

    Don't forget Raab. What a wet blanket. I have to say Boris has been badly missed.
    Couldn't agree more how smug Patel comes across

    Stay at home you mugs while I get paid on my second home that I visit.

    Patel is smug. Just reminds why I don't like most politicians.

    Least with Boris he comes across more level headed but Boris is about Boris.

    Patel" This GOVERNMENT" - see this is just the conservatives using this awful virus to score points.

    There’s countries sending us supplies...Notably China, Turkey and the US. Suppose you could call it state aid.

    Right now in Turkey, somebody will be getting angry about why there Government isn’t spending the money on filling potholes in Istanbul instead.

    Suppose as much as we are struggling with PPPE and testing us and the US are most likely to find a vaccine first then it will be about world wide distribution and Turkey will be wanting to front of the queue.
