Corona virus plan

 

Coronavirus plan: Troops on streets, police ignore minor crime and a fifth off work

The government has admitted there could be 'some increase in deaths' while one in five of all employees could be be absent from work during peak weeks. Health chiefs have published a 27-page document setting out measures to contain a major pandemic

 

Some things are better not said, and one that will bite these clowns in the butt is

"Ignore minor crime"

Was this another load of crap from Cummings?

Even if this is the intent, you should not, if you have even half a brain publicise the fact that this is open season for criminals to prey upon the public.

Filled up my car today. 116.9 per litre - the cheapest in something like three years.

 

If the world economy is suffering and people are staying at home, perhaps it will drop even further?

When will we have a coronavirus vaccine? Human trials to begin in April

Labs around the world are racing to produce a coronavirus vaccine which could stop the disease in its tracks

And in the Express there appears to be a different solution approaching

Asteroid warning: NASA tracks a 4KM killer rock on approach - Could end human civilisation

AN ASTEROID capable of ending human civilisation if it hits will approach our planet in April, NASA's asteroid trackers have confirmed.

Some former workers say going back would threaten their mental and physical health

Check that the members of the government can still walk...

 

Nursie: Another good idea. You’re so clever today, you’d better make sure your foot doesn’t fall off.

Queenie: Is that what happens when you have good ideas? Your foot falls off.

Nursie: Oh yes! My brother had this brilliant idea of cutting his toenails with a scythe, and his foot fell off!

Priti Patel accused of bullying a third senior civil servant

Whitehall sources claim she ‘harassed and belittled’ staff while international development secretary

 

A Tory source told the programme that members of the civil service were attacking Patel because they were trying to scupper government plans for immigration and the police. “Dark forces are trying to influence the findings of a cabinet office inquiry,” the source said.

And I say unto the Tory source, "Look inside yourself, do you not see your own heart of darkness?"

Once upon a time I worked in the nhs, having corvid 19 may well be preferable

Couldn't help chuckling at this news:

 

E10 petrol: UK to standardise higher ethanol blend

Government says ‘cleaner’ fuel will help cut carbon dioxide emissions before electric cars become the norm

 

E10 doesn't half LOOK like an EU designation - though it is just expressing 10% ethanol.

 

But, as we are so wanting to take back control and set our own standards, why not go for E9¾ (for Harry Potter fans) or E13¾ (for Adrian Mole aficionados)?

Is that where you have to eat crow? :)

Is this any surprise. Governments take a group of people such as health service workers, shat all over them by throttling their pay, reducing their pension benefits and degrading their employment conditions. The government then ask them if they will help them out because they’ve mis-managed things. Guess what response they are going to get?

 

How insulting too to value these people’s skills at £0 / hour, whilst simultaneously valuing their own contribution at tens of thousands. If they want these people back, pay them £50 / hour, tax free.

Quite a while since mention of Yaxley-Lennon:

Quite a while since mention of Yaxley-Lennon:

 

That's why he's committed this offence, to keep alive his claim that the world is against him, so satisfying those chumps who are foolish enough to believe his fairy story.

 

Stephen Yaxley-Lennon is just a worthless delusional thuggish yob, nothing more.

My tweet in response

Print it on 7"x5" degradeable continuous paper with perforations and it can be read, used for the best purpose imaginable and disposed of in an environmentaly favourable way

A look at the English like wot she is spoke

How does one assault a Center Parcs swimming pool?

Mind you when a company can't even spell it's own name right I suppose anything is possible.

There are times like this one when being mad helps

In Aldi the checkout lady checked my four items, and asked if I was putting some items aside like the younger people are doing.

I said "no, at my age there isn't much point"

"Really, surely at your age it would be a good idea?"

"No, I reckon if I do all of these young 'uns will have nabbed the best seats by the fire when I get there"

At least the queue behind me with piles and piles of shopping laughed :cool:

Another Good idea destroyed and sold off because of Brexit

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2020/mar/03/sirius-minerals-takeover-at-risk-after-investor-rebellion

Sirius Minerals to be sold after shareholder rebellion fails

Following the £405m sale the UK’s first major deep mine in 40 years now likely to go ahead

"Its share price tumbled after a £400m bond issue failed, a crushing setback the firm blamed on Brexit sending a chill through debt markets and a refusal by the government to offer loan guarantees. "

 

Would this be the same government that is going to make this a land of milk and honey?

"Fraser also criticised the prime minister, Boris Johnson, for refusing to issue a loan guarantee that could have helped Sirius secure $2.5bn (£1.9bn) in funding from the Wall Street bank JP Morgan.

“As much as the prime minister makes these statements about wanting to support the north, this is the poster child for what they should be supporting,” he said. “They chose not.”

 

Well Putin will be pleased with Boris

The farmers will love this:

 

Rishi Sunak is set to announce in next week's budget that red diesel - so-called because it is marked with a dye - will no longer attract a lower fuel duty. It currently accounts for about 15% of total diesel sales in the UK and costs the Treasury about £2.4bn a year in revenue.

JLR are doing so well...

 

Jaguar Land Rover to shut Merseyside plant for 10 days

Carmaker also altering schedules at Castle Bromwich and Solihull due to weak sales

Believe it or not this is a move I applaud. Removing the rebate removes the market for fuel washing . Now farmers and other users should still be entitled to rebates ..but only on quantities actually consumed . It is relatively easy to do this in the financial accounts.

In my part of the country, washed diesel is more than a cottage industry. The chemical residue is left in side roads in 1000 litre tanks for disposal by our local authority. The residue is heavily acidic . Also the washed diesel,with the dye extracted ,is not conducive to engine lifetime.
