All fair enough round the doors but until public transport is somehow addressed I'm going nowhere.

I'm sure if you could zoom in you'd see the $ signs spinning in Trump's eyes.

I've read a couple of hopeful articles as well as "we'll be lucky to have a vaccine in two years" things so I rail between hope and mild despair. Best thing I've read recently is the Oxford vaccine Rhesus monkey thing.

You mean the one 2.5 weeks before the peak death day?

All good questions. I know it's spread throughout the country now but I think London is a big factor. Not only too many people still working but I think the sheer volume of public transport and how packed it is normally is a huge factor in just how many were and are still being exposed to it. If they try and rely on this app without follow up tracing and ask people to self-isolate without checking it'll all go tits up when it's eased even slightly imo

I'd like to see him more gung ho for the failings but I think there's a lot of public support for this "not now" view which might be where he's coming from.

Theres a system banks use called SWIFT which handles a lot more than 300m payments - and it's instantaneous so his comment about a few days must involve some more legal stuff at a guess.

I understand that people get pleasure in walking in spectacular scenery but is asking them to walk around the block a couple of times instead for a few months to save lives too much? I think there's a being a smartarse angle to this drive to exercise thing.

Inquiries change absolutely fuck all and have one thing in common: Aberfan Herald of Free Enterprise. Chilcott Hillsborough Bloody Sunday Grenfell Much hand-wringing, absolutely no justice.

I don't think they consider even sitting on a plane never mind all the other issues. Greece are looking at guidelines for tourism more in hope than anything else.

Might be simply due to more testing. I was talking to someone at work who was naively asking why people were still getting infected as surely everybody apart from key workers were at home so I set him right about how many non-nice middle class work from home jobs there are where people are still working.

It's alright, there's at least 20k dead but the met have seized a shit load of coke. Who gives a flying fuck about crime at the moment.

They had one side with Italy which even then they didn't better and on the other South Korea as the good example. 7 or 8 weeks later they're trying to take some lessons from the latter which will take a few weeks to implement while the corpses pile higher.

Also I can see why we need testing especially along side tracing and isolation but as it's been unveiled I have doubts. If I woke up tomorrow feeling dodgy with a cough I'd probably isolate until I felt better and certainly wouldn't think of driving to Stansted where a testing centre is mooted. Similarly as I'm feeling okay I wouldn't want a test anyway unless I suspected I was asymptomatic which is a stretch. Now I can see the appeal of an antibody test but the antigen one still seems a puzzle to me. Any thoughts?

As well as the fact the country was created and the ruling family were put in power by Western interests very much including the UK.

Or in bombing/invading other countries.

Have to say I'm worried by the BEIN thing because as we all know money trumps morals.

I think short of a vaccine or the virus dying naturally, nowt's happening this year mass gathering or flight wise. The Premier league for example should forget this season and worry about next.

To be fair McKeag was a cunt and I'm sure the Seymour s et al were as well. Apart from the German and maybe Spanish models I don't think anyone "owns" football clubs apart from whichever rich men from whatever era it happens to be in. The sense of belonging fans (at least in the past) have regarding clubs is more a tribal identity /community thing. However I think the link has always been a united sense of desire for the club to do well even for "playthings". Ashley's disconnect has been that the fans recognise he lacks that desire.

Blackburn - 10 cunts and Scott Sellars.

A lot of bands who cancelled gigs rearranged them for the autumn. The Ash date at the end of March I was going to go to is now September 27th - I think they're optimistic (just like thoughts of a new football season) but in the end completely unrealistic. (Short of a miraculously rapidly available vaccine).

Thing is though if they try to ease the lockdown without mass testing and contact tracing then I can't see that many being willing to face public transport etc. I certainly won't.

I bet they can't wait for when they can roll the buffoon out in front of the cameras again - he'll never face a "nasty" question again.
