No political discussion in this topic. That is complaining about a country, a politician, a party and/or its voters, etc

Just seen Prof Karol Sikora on BBC news. First time I've seen him on that TV, but I have been going to work every day, so might have missed it. He's been my hero through this. Following him on twitter he's very level headed, but positive with it. Stating that we need to continue with what we're doing, but drawing the positives from the data. Certainly need to here more from him.

If you've got an hour to spare, the queues are usually long enough during normal times when there's very little if any restriction on the numbers allowed in. I'm happy to wait.

Agree.

 

And time is something I have plenty of at the moment!

Definitely a leveller (at the very minimum) for all the scaremongering and high figures day by day.

 

I do like his positive, yet cautious (as it should be), updates.

The government's working guidelines are wishy-washy & open to exploitation. 

 

I'm working & we've been given some guidelines but they feel like nothing more than my employers covering their own arses.  I work outdoors & we have no gloves, no masks, no hand sanitiser, no facility to wash our hands & keeping 2m apart is impossible.  It very much feels like we've been thrown to the wolves & if anything happens to us, it will be our responsibility & not theirs.

 

There's a building site directly across the road from me & there's all sorts of tradesmen working on it.  This week it has been the roofers.  Their telephone number on the side of the van is a Barnsley number.  3 men travelling 40 miles together every morning in the same transit,  They've zero PPE, no wash facilities, fvck all.  They're just cracking on as usual.  I'm sure they're happy to be earning but there is no consideration for their safety.  Then 40 miles home together & back to their families.

 

The working guidelines have been left vague enough that those employers/employees that need the money can carry on as usual.  If the government was serious about people's safety then all realistically non-essential work would be stopped.  The economy cannot afford to do that & people's lives are being gambled with.

 

B&Q being open is about nothing more than money.  I'm sure now is a great time for a lot of people to get some jobs done around the house but what part of that is 'essential'?

I think people like him mostly because they want to hear something reassuring.

B&Q has reopened

 

Shoplifters paradise :ph34r:

The staff at B&Q are a bit rude.

 

I was in there earlier and some idiot in an orange apron came over and asked me if I wanted decking. 

 

Luckily I got the first punch in :thumbup:

Wonder if he still feels the same about the NHS?

That's an extra ban on top of the other one incoming.
