  1. Mate have you read some of the accusations in that article, its ****in laughable, a few WhatsApps from non Corbyn supporters ****ed off with the result. To be electable you have to be a large broad political party and these always have wings and factions. Every major party in or out of government has had to deal with them and Corbyns time is no different, so to claim that it affected their electibility or their ability to deal with antisemitism is a joke.
  2. Moans the supporter of a man who undermined his party at every opportunity. So if the media and factions with in the party weren't against Corbyn he wouldn't have turned in the worst performance in 90 years, that's deluded and so is wondering why some in the party would want to return the leadership to the wing of the party that actually won elections.
  3. The real battle Corbyn's lot were interested in winning was for the control of the Labour party.
  4. The words 'internal investigation' never inspire much confidence. https://antisemitism.uk/dorset-eye-community-website-used-as-cover-to-spread-antisemitic-hate/
  5. That's one hospital, mine hasn't got enough goggles or face shields. A local academy made and donated 35 face shields and these were distributed to the wards to be used. We have FFP2 masks which aren't sufficient and non waterproof FFP3s which can't be worn without a face shield. I would suggest that those saying they haven't got enough are not lying.
  6. It wasn't the NHS that wasn't prepared for the pandemic it was the government, they were told in 2016 to prepare but decided not to because of austerity. I think its clear why South Korea has managed this better then anyone else, they were prepared and had a plan, it will be interesting to understand the reason why Germany have fared better than us. Sorry about your father in law.
  7. Best wishes mate, she will be well looked after.
  8. The important part for me is the commitment that the club are going to cover 100% of the non playing staff's wages and the deferment probably helps them do that. I'm really pleased our club are doing this.
  9. Unbelievable, surely the chick is more likely to cause the RTA.
  10. Morgan is a celebrity city centre meths drinker shouting at passers by, occasionally entertaining but mainly irritating.
  11. The resilience that was traditionally in the NHS like mothballed wards or going back, ready to go infectious disease hospitals wouldn't have covered the scale of this pandemic but they would have helped and the NHS would bite your hand off for them now. We really shouldn't be scrabbling around for PPE and ventilators, we should have warehouses full of them ready for this situation. The world was warned when SARS happened and we should have had a plan in place, but we are making it up as we go along. Everyone is doing their best and they are pulling together an effective machine, but they are playing catch up when they shouldn't have been.
  12. You really are a total ****, just because there are bigger things going on it doesn't invalidate the smaller things people are going through. Leaving secondary school, the thing they have been going to for a third of their life, where they have grown up and where they were just about to sit the exams they have been gearing up for for years is a bloody big deal for kids. Small in comparison and if you ask a kid would they prefer the loss of a grand parent or for school to close you know what the answer would be, but it doesn't detract from what's happening to them, you can separate the two things. It's lucky our children are more capable of complex nuanced thoughts than your simple binary brain you old ****.
  13. Batman dog whistling again.
  14. along with being a Brexit expert, constitutional lawyer, free trade guru and crack financial forecaster.
  15. It wasn't aimed at you it was generally about teachers. It seems from phone in's, other peoples experience, teacher friends, colleague's teacher partners and from my kids schools that teachers seem to be the least resilient of the lot. My daughter's school has lost 30 teachers, the work force there is probably equivalent to my head office and we don't have anyway near that number in self isolation. My colleague was moaning that her teacher husband is just angling for time off, two days later he is self isolating and today he just come to pick her up and test drive a new car. The BBC has reported that schools are struggling with the amount of teachers off, I don't see many other industries reporting the same thing. One of my daughters teacher was moaning that the government only cares about corona because it's a posh people illness and then a week later is in 12 week's isolation. It's the same when it snows.
  16. FFS It's not the need for them to have child care it's the need for us as a society that they have child care. This isn't about not inconveniencing people it about allowing essential process to continue for the good of all.
  17. From my experience in all this teachers have been the most precious. I work in a hospital I will be in every day that I am well, like those who work for the police, utilities, shops, food supply chain etc etc. If every one demands to stay at home there will be no food, power, water, people to look after the ill, to police the streets etc etc. I think there is some manning up needed here. If you are old or vulnerable do what you have to do to keep safe, if you are not then minimise unnecessary contact but carry on doing what is needed to get through this. If you get it you will have a **** week but you will get over it.
  18. From the infection control nurse at the hospital I work in the idea, she believes, is to delay the infection in the elderly and vulnerable by asking them to isolate. By not applying the same restrictions on the younger stronger population means they might get it and then get over it ready to be fit and healthy to deal with the oldies when the peak hits. This flattens the curve, moves the peak to the summer and also sorts the infected cohorts. This has the best outcome for the oldies and vulnerable by trying to better match demand and supply.
  19. Why are teachers on the front line? Teachers seem to be a bit precious in all of this, they want schools to close but I suspect they wouldn't want supermarkets or other 'frontline' facilities to close.
  20. You could probably get as much inside information if you talked to an actual farmer.
  21. I wonder why out of all the experts the government have chosen the **** ones.
  22. 30000 people have been tested in the UK, we are currently testing 1000 people per day.
  23. So instead of arguing the difference between 'parts' and 'a bit like' ffs. Tell us what you think a McDonnell budget would have looked like, we can then judge for ourselves.
