Good to hear Thory boy.

As for bullying , i think the bot offering to meet people at a LOFC event after corona virus
is hoping to create that effect . Shame its not working . When youve been stood a foot away
from 6 Semi automatic machine guns pointing at your head , the thought of some scroat at the
Orient intimidating you is pretty laughable .



Bless him for trying though.

Good to have you back on the Corona virus thread .

Stay safe all, help each other and the vulnerable it's time to come together.

Good luck to all and good health as well.

Sweet Jesus, and here's me thinking 40% of Americans are thick.

Who conducted this poll?

I saw a crazy "Dear leader" poll on Fox the other night from Trumpy Lou Dobbs.

How do you rate President Trumps handling of the Coronavirus. The options were as follows: Superb, Great & Very Good. Not surprisingly Dear Leader got nearly 80% from the braindead.

Ooh, you're ard.

Several companies threatening job losses unless they get a handout. Doesn't seem right!

Irrespective of Tory/Boris approval ratings, given how badly they managed their own election campaign, would anyone seriously feel more confident if Labour was in charge right now?

This country has to follow the others by going into lockdown , far too many people will die otherwise .

Think they might have reached a different conclusion when weighing up The People v The Markets. Lockdown and some form of UBI would have been in place by now.

Ashworth was one of the few competent bods in the shadow Cabinet

Had respect for him until he didn't stick by his own words on Corbyn and tried to pretend it was all a joke when the whole country agreed with him

I'm not sure the People v Market is such a straightforward consideration. Sure, 'Let Nan Die' isn't the best of policies, but the economic situation has the potential to devastate as many lives as the virus.

But my point isn't about intentions, it's about competence. Accepting that Boris doesn't instil much confidence and that Labour's intentions may be more virtuous, does anyone actually think that Labour has the leadership or collective competence to actually manage things better? Just look at how disorganised and incompetent they were during the last election.

And this isn't sticking up for the Tories, it's more an observation of how f*cked we are.

UK death toll rises by 40 in 24 hours to 177. That's almost a 30% increase on yesterday's tally.

Northwick Park Hospital in Harrow has declared a “critical incident” due to a surge in patients with coronavirus. They now have no critical care capacity left and are trying to transfer surplus patients to neighbouring hospitals.

Would seem our amazing leader Johnson is finding Covid 19 a bit tedious to speak about today

Johnson? Leader? When?

Rishi Sunak for PM now!

Dunners wrote: ↑Fri Mar 20, 2020 5:25 pm Rishi Sunak for PM now!

Bring back Gordon Brown.

So, finally we get some definitive commands rather than pretty-please requests to avoid unnecessary social venues. It had to come, as too many twats have been ignoring it up til now. Yes, Sunak has been a better performer, Dunnem.

Figure I have for yesterday is 40.

I know of at least 1 pub in Befnal green that will serve beer tomorrow

Will/can pub landlords still have private lock ins?

So given 40% increase the day before, we’re heading in the right direction.

Base rate of tax will be 40% within a year after today’s announcements. How do you feel? Glad you’re money is going into helping bar staff, waiters and waitresses etc or having voted for the Tories and now getting a left wing version of Corbyn, are you gutted?

What would you suggest the government do, Bera?

Very glad they've finally caught up and decided that we're not just going to cast adrift hundreds of thousands of people to abject poverty. Don't care about base rate increasing - we're meant to be in this together.
