Please tell me this is a joke. I am slowly losing my sense of judgement having been stuck inside so long.

Loads of revelations on Panorama as well. Pretty interesting to see how the press have all mobolised to refute it etc.

quote of the programme “ If they call us heroes, it’s easier for them to let us die “

For peace of mind i'm not normally bothering with all this shit these days, 15 years of going on about it all and reading up on all of it have done jackshit but more time on my hands atm.

If today's kids are scared of that I wonder how they would have survived in the 70s. Are we breeding a nation of wimps or is it just the reporters who have decided that kids should be scared of it?

Its probably just because they are unfamiliar with it. The beak is a bit scary I grew up in Paisley in the 70’s. 
 I doubt they would be terrified if he was wandering about in a Darth Vadar outfit .

Maybe the wrong thread. Everyone who has posted today should be ashamed of themselves. Not one congratulatory comment on the birth of baby BJ. Shame on you all.😁

A quick scan of past few pages. Boris. Hancock. UK. 

Still majority of people don't seem to get these decisons have been agreed by Nicola Sturgeon and Jeane Freeman and others in Scottish Government.  PPE  provision and stockpile = devolved.  Ventilators (although looking to be less important = devolved.  Care Homes = devolved.  Testing = devolved.

The £60k comp does not apply to Scotland yet.  In addition the rules made by NHS Scotland to prove deaths are official corona related (they'll argue they had adequate protection or caught it outside) are very strict.

As an aside I still think it's way to early to have a full undrstanding of this.  It's with us 2020 and beyond. My work is saying work from home 6 months minimum.  There will be spikes as it returns.  Who acted the best UK? Sweden? France? etc will be debated  Other health issues sidelined like cancer will hit us. Then economic impact will be potentially as bad. A fascinating piece of history but a brutal few years for many.

Are you saying the criticism aimed at the Tory Gov. on the last few pages are not justified (you didn't say)? Reading the last few pages I don't see any support for the SG (I've said they could do better). I have had a go at Hancock (Justifiably) IMO for being a patronising bull shitter. Maybe it's his demeanour, his tone of voice or the constant we are in this together rhetoric or all of the above that earns him the justified criticism. The guy was and will be a grade 1 bell end before, during and probably after this crisis is over. Again I will say the SG can and should do better but the support I will give NS (I'm not her biggest supporter) is that she seems to be more upfront, admits faults have been made and has taken the lead ahead of Hancock and the Tory's when it comes to what may happen when the lock down is eased. BJ and his chums have made a cunt of this from the start and should be held to account and to be fair there should also be an open investigation in to all the devolved governments on what and should of been done better.

Great post. Made all the more relevant coming from someone who actually works in the industry.
