Seems like ages since there was a "normal" Saturday. Quite simply, no football has killed Saturday, certainly until early evening. What's on the agenda today, not a lot unfortunately. I suspect we will hear LOTS more stories about people flaunting the instruction to stay home unless necessary. Then there will be the "bad police" stories, forgetting if no eejits didn't be stupid there would be no need for the police to waste time on these actions aresholes. I might start a "sweep" on the number of fines being dished out, today/tomorrow could see a new daily record. Over 1,000? Not a surprise, thousands of people ignoring the instructions. I wonder how many of these wallopers were out on Thursday night showing their appreciation for people trying to keep the country, and people, alive? Today will probably be worse.

Bud the Baker Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 Hedge funds that bet on the market falling (including Jacob Rees-Mogg's) are making gazillios apparently - I kinda get we're all involved via our pensions but doncha just wish we'd let the whole banking system crash back in 2008?

Guest TPAFKATS Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 Yesterday's Financial Times ran an editorial calling for radical reforms that would reverse the economic policies of the last four decades. "Policies like wealth tax and universal income need to be in the mix."Strange times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TPAFKATS Posted April 6, 2020 Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 You are supposed to wait a week and then get in touch with a doctor if symptoms persist over 7 days. Majority who have the virus or suspect they have it won't see any doctor. GP refers patients to 111 who are too busy to take calls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless "as soon as possible" means when his name reaches the top of the waiting list, of course.

Debenham's have just filed for administration (again) - how many of the stores employees are looking forward to the "once in a generation chance of earning super-normal-returns" the "CovidCrash" will provide.
