Forget Covid-19, it's a lost cause. When it's subsided, tell China that on any future pandemic we will impose a 1% duty for every one thousand deaths on everything they sell to us. And nothing received will be paid for until the duty is received in advance by the UK treasury. And encourage...

It's what always happens when the media and public demand resolutions for unanswerable questions. This side of a vaccine, nobody has the answer since it could return time and time again, anywhere. .

Damn, still not enough to ease the housing shortage. .

They have given a general strategy in replies to journalists and even hinted at the economic factor, but in your last sentence you've disputed your disagreement. Until we've built up enough testing capacity we can't make a plan. When we are getting near to enough testing capacity, we can make...

My last car was prefixed LV (Lockdown Virus?) I'm surprised I haven't been stopped by police with my new one, wanting to know why I'm travelling so far. I bought it in Lancashire 251 miles away, and it has a Preston number plate (PN). .

It's a very different situation though, Lockdown had to be sudden everywhere to meet the emergency. Sweden didn't do it suddenly and have admitted that was wrong. Conversely the release will have to be slow, partial and careful, step by step. I don't understand the complaints or Starmer's...

Indeed, there's truth in the economic factor, and it would be no different under Labour with Starmer, simply because bankruptcy isn't an option. .

I disagree since we don't even know with certainty when this first phase will peak or end, or even if we will have a second phase and how soon after that might follow or how long that might last. In other words, all that can be sensibly said is each decision will be taken as each change in the...

Snap, though as I posted above, we more commonly use a stand and bend to pick and trim for the conveyor. But more up to date than the old Polish one on show that I linked to. .

As sptj says, accommodation will be a major problem since it's a usually a packed in situation. And the vegetable crop picking harvesters require everyone to be standing in a row shoulder to shoulder as they pick and place on the conveyor. Likewise those standing inside and bagging items from...

Totally agree. The sin is in sitting on it in accounts, rather than spending it to help everyone. .

I don't have a breadmaker so have always been (d) when I've made bread. I always have bread flour and dried yeast in stock so didn't have to buy any for this crisis. At present though I'm on the supermarket's bread from my freezer, and the supermarket has seemed to always have bread anyway...

Text back, "Too late, I'm dead". ;) .

Supply and demand, it's always been the same. My car at launch in 2018 immediately had a long waiting list, so some dealers were selling at up to £3 k over list to those too wealthy to be patient. I just waited six months and got a £1k discount off list. .

Different periods, the crude arc graph ends in March, the flattening is in April over the last few days. .

There's also reports that the other new one at the NEC, Birmingham may not be needed at all. .

AsI posted before, the Posties are probably refusing to touch anything from him because he has the corona virus. ;) .

I'm far from being a Starmer fan and am disappointed he's Labour leader. This bit of stupidity shows why, of course the government cannot say when or how the lockdown will end when we haven't even hit the peak yet. .

No lies. They are in their legislation and permanently available to be switched in as needed, as they all have been. .

We never do, the rules are from parliament which is overwhelmingly majority elected by the rest of you. .
