I talk to other businesses (those whose owners are still there) Perhaps that is the difference between us.

The ‘alive’ quote relates to businesses. The second part relates to the banks and some local authorities (no names) and some very large companies (see above).

So just because you can read and write emails you think that every other company can do the same? “Don’t your customers” no they don’t, most of mine have been closed by the government and are not placing orders and have gone into hibernation. I have a FTSE250 company that owes me money form the beginning of March. It would keep us going for two months but they are not answering their phone calls or emails. As usual you are basing your beliefs on your own personal experience. There are very few businesses that can earn money from emails alone. Nobody can manufacture anything by just writing emails. You are clearly talking nonsense.

Are you for real? We’re all struggling to get through the next few weeks alive. Everybody is ‘working from home’ which means that you can’t get hold of anyone and they can take two weeks to reply to emails. As you rightly say, “businesses are closed down”. Nothing happens when you’re closed down.

I'd forgotten all about him And the rest of the team to be honest. Another good thing :- Liverpool not winning anything

Sorry, brainfart on my part. Colin Bell of course

Todd was my sister’s favourite player and the reason that she ended up following Manchester City. Now it’s Tottenham like all my family up that way. Edit: Oops. I was thinking of Colin Bell.

And is unsuitable for the elderly, dangerous even.

BREAKING: Hundreds of people gather on Westminster Bridge to applaud the NHS staff who will be treating them for coronavirus next week. Have I Got News For You@haveigotnews 8:54 AM · Apr 17, 2020·Twitter Web App Yep. It's just a load of clap.

Yes, this is a good point often overlooked. There was a TV comedy article once on Not the NIne O'Clock News (?) with a newsreader telling of countless world disasters each ending with the line "No Brits involved"

Yes, sad news. Unfortunately I shall always remember him for his missed tackle on the halfway line against Poland in 1973. RIP Norman.

Now that is total billhooks. If you really believe this then you haven’t got a clue as to what counts as fitness. I guess from your beliefs that you must be relatively young and that your concept of fitness is having a toned body with good muscle structure. For the over fifties it’s nothing of the sort.

Not so. Fresh clean air and sunshine are more beneficial that stuffy recycled air. We all need to build up our vitamin D after the winter. You’re thinking of a different sort of exercise, body building rather than getting your fluids moving. This is more relevant for the older generations.

You can’t confiscate someone’s car just because they’re a selfish, stupid idiot. There wouldn’t be many cars left on the road!

Of course it’s relevant. We must never, ever lose sight of the purpose of this mini-lockdown or else the regulations become and end in themselves.

Let’s not get too melodramatic. No lives were ‘put at danger’.

Yet you cannot see that there is a difference between domestic travellers and incomers from overseas. One is a known risk because the history is known, the other is an unknown risk. And I am not advocating travel from UK hotspots am I.

Not the point though, is it. The punishment must fit the crime.

Under what law?

No, but what do they have to do with the EU and Freedom of Movement?

As I read it the point was about the size of the penalty and not the culpability.

“far from perfect” is quite an understatement. We deliberately followed a policy that was different from most others. It was the ‘sit back and do nothing’ policy. Whilst others were closing bars, restaurants and schools we were being taught how to was our hands.

That link seems to be about Germany. What am I supposed to see?
