In fairness the government said very clearly when closing restaurants and similar that they could operate as takeaways instead. That some chose to close was their own decision and never ordered. I remember some saying it would be difficult to convert, so probably why they chose to close...

That's what happens when it's thought Social Distancing is using a condom. .

But those cannot stop the people's anger if it all goes wrong, it's no concern of theirs if a government can or cannot raise money. Voters act on feelings as the Brexit vote showed. And the power of the rich can be rendered meaningless when a democratic people vote on feelings. The rich were...

Yes, Tommie thought my post funny, probably because I suggested his beloved Brexit could fail. Well, we are having a practice run for Brexit, seeing how effectively we deal alone with Covid-19. Just look at how good our future Brexit competition are with that, Germany, South Korea, China et...

. Unless. The economic damage from the coronavirus protracting increases enough and is combined with Brexit failing. The huge downturn in living standards and scale of personal loss could then reverse the situation. It happened once before when the estabishment took us into WW2 with the huge...

Indeed, It will follow the usual pattern that you've seen previously with Jeremy Corbyn, John McDonnell and Ken Livingstone. First the ground is prepared over time by a steady drip, drip, drip of faked examples of what nasty and incompetent persons they are. Then as we approach election time...

Nor on my Nokia 1112 even though it's from 4 years later in 2006. .

The Fifth. It gives you the right to refuse to answer a question if the answer might incriminate you. .

Hi Lee, welcome to the forum. Enter a post in the Electric Bikes General Discussion Forum, letting us know what kit you have and your questions. Members will be happy to assist. .

There's been a great deal of anger at many of the government's ill thought out edicts which actually endangered people, like shutting parks leaving Londoners to exercise in crowded streets and banning people from driving to where exercise was safer. That forced our authorities to quickly...

They, people and businesses, are doing their own thing, deciding for themselves what is excused lockdown. It's not surprising given the very mixed messages the government have been issuing from the outset, and our police forces haven't helped. .

Londoners have been considerably easing lockdown for well over two weeks, in some details with official approval, and from being previously by far the worst affected part of the UK is now greatly improved. Quote: "London has recorded a particularly rapid decline. The average number of new...

Slight snag. Judging by the performance of our governments for a few decades, few would last a week and some only one day. Once again we'd be matching Italy! .

Just give it time. When it becomes necessary the right wing press will do the same undeserved character assassination on Keir Starmer they did on Ken Livingstone and Jeremy Corbyn. The right wing media have no standards, backed by both the Tories and the Blairite fake Labour MPs, there's...

Thanks, shows one can't trust sites other than official .gov.uk ones. The site I looked at after hearing that radio comment said £15 a day. The supermarkets can't dictate since they are cash vouchers. "Should not" is just user guidance, not law forbidding. .

Essential permitted work this afternoon. Croydon Council mowing the path lines on the meadows of our nature reserve. Presumably to ensure nobody trips over the 4 inch blades of grass and injure themselves falling on a dandelion:

"Families of children who are entitled to free school meals now receive a £15 a day supermarket voucher to cover the cost of their lunch while schools are closed during the coronavirus pandemic." Today on an earlier radio program there was a report from a Tesco that they are often being spent...

They were prior to 10 am on Monday 6th January 1986 when I abruptly stopped smoking 60 or so a day. .

Probably the same area as the size of Wales. .

Experts sometimes come out with the weirdest statements. I've just heard one on the radio saying the physical effects resulting from the psychological effects of isolation in lockdown are the equivalent of smoking 15 cigarettes a day. Really? .
