    Estate agents are embarrassing themselves, as a lot have embarrassed themselves recently.

    Government action is the only way to ensure swift compliance no matter how pathetic that sounds.

    It must be the latest version of chicken pox parties when kids were rounded up to go to little Tommy's party who had chicken pox so they could share that virus around. Unfortunately Covid-19 is a bit more serious; although you might not believe it from the idiotic and selfish behaviour of some adults!

    Come into Bradford now mate, it's free for all coughing season. Hard to get your head around the feckwits that are currently in the city centre for no reason. Not surprised though.

    I was just chatting to a colleague in Germany and she said she'd seen some of the sights over the weekend of Brits taking in the sun alongside loads of others. She thought to begin with that this was showing some footage of a past bank holiday until she listened more carefully. She's a Brit and is expecting a major lockdown in some parts of Germany very soon. She's at a loss as to why the UK is the only major European democracy which delayed insisting on certain business closures and is still only advising its citizens what to do rather than enforcing it. She says that she feels better off in Germany rather than being back in the UK. Give the idiots an opportunity to become infected and they'll share it with anybody who they get close to!

    I had to go into the centre otherwise I wouldn't have bothered, there are people wandering round here who clearly either don't know to stay at home, too thick to understand or just plain selfish. Mixed messages don't help, asking people to self isolate but some shops are open, as is the case in the Broadway. Either it's that serious everywhere has to shut or it isn't. If it's that serious then supermarkets should have to shut to the public and a protected delivery service be put in place. Even with the NHS, just been talking to a mate whose wife is a district nurse. Some members of staff in regular contact with the public are being measured for hazmat suits but some aren't. If staff on the front line don't know what's going on what chance have the rest of us got.

    Just watching Sky News and they're interviewing Gary Neville. He's turned over the 2 hotels he co-owns in Manchester to use as Hospital facilities. They have 176 rooms. 35 are already being used to house patients and by the end of Weds they expect to be full. We haven't even really started, and the NHS is already oversubscribed in some areas.

    Yes @Faithful Bantam@Faithful Bantam m8, @Bronco@Bronco won that.

    Lockdown coming soon I reckon . Push through the laws this week. There was no rush over the weekend, even the PM needs a lie in.

    They'll have to lock down soon. Easter's around the corner and unless they're under armed guard and house arrest, the plebs will be out in force.

    Aye, what would we give for a Corbyn, Abbot and McDonnell team to lead us to safety....
    Oh, hang on, they haven't yet agreed a brexit strategy or even disposed of Corbyn or chosen a new leader, unlucky for us eh...?

    I went into Leeds centre this morning (to pick up some new laptops for home working) and it was like a scene from 28 days later. Hardly anyone on the streets at all. I spoke with an Italian supplier this morning. His factory is shutting down on wednesday, initially ttil 3rd April. He told me to take care. The opinion in Italy is that the UK aren't taking this seriously enough

    Isn't Corbyn about 70 years old, he should have been self-isolating for the next 3 months instead of going to the HOC.

    Bad example to set but i bet he is in better health than most 70 year olds.
    Veggie, doesn't smoke and probably doesn't drink either.
