  1. It's a very real problem that we have become so reliant on China. Hopefully this crisis will permenently change things. I know I woild be prepared to pay more if it meant we boycotted that terrible and irresponsible regime.
  2. I reckon someone like boufal would be decent.
  3. You'd be better off using that for garden waste now the council have stopped collecting.
  4. Woild be pretty controversial to relegate Bournemouth and villa by a point or goal difference based on their current position. Villa could argue that the only reason they are in the relegation zone is because they had a game rearranged because they got to the league Cup final.
  5. The only image I had was Marvin the android from hitchhikers guide blowing a fuse.
  6. MLG would orgasm.
  7. Also the players will still be required to follow behaviour guidelines, diet, fitness levels etc and officially they are still required to be fit for the resumption of the Premier league which hasn't officially been cancelled yet beyond April. If you furlough the players the clubs won't be able to enforce any of that stuff for a minimum of three weeks. The players should definitely volunteer a wage cut though.
  8. Tbf if the players are furloughed they wouldn't keep their incomes.
  9. It's obviously his view that the economic measures required to stop this will result in higher numbers of young people dead eventually. Imo that's a difficult thing to argue since we don't actually know what will happen with complete certainty and it raises a question about how many real young people should be permitted to die now to prevent higher numbers of potential deaths in the future. Its a view I disagree with but it's not really how you are attempting to portray it.
  10. It's a tory conspiracy because they want people to die.
  11. I'd rather have a discussion about what he actually said instead of ranting about a fictional caricature where someone like Toby Young is literally Hitler. Not like you to characterise clarifying precisely what a political figure you disagree with says as sticking up for them.
  12. In fairness its a more nuanced view than simply saying he supports eugenics. I don't actually agree with him by the way but his view seems to be that the economic costs will cause loss of life and that if it's a choice between a wrecked economy and loss of life or the deaths of largely elderly people then he would prefer the latter rather than the former. Lots of people hold that view incidentally.
  13. Would only take one player or support staff to show symptoms and the whole thing would go down in flames. I suppose it very much depends what the situation is by then.
  14. Like I said, good to hear the vast majority of police are doing what is needed at the moment. The whole policing of language stuff probably comes from superiors anyway rather than the average policeman.
  15. I'd rather all of them were out keeping order, preventing burglaries (like the two that targeted empty childcare settings in Southampton last week for example.) etc. We don't need tweets policed at the moment or ever really.
  16. I have but more because I think it would provide a good distraction.
  17. That may very well be true. Its still a total waste of time wherever it comes from and whoever is telling them to do it.
  18. Hopefully you're right but they do say in the video that they will investigate every report of hate crime even if you don't believe its a crime. I'd rather they stopped all this nonsense talk and did what they should be doing and I'm sure most police officers are.
  19. I'd rather the hurty words team diverted all their energy into things that will combat the virus.
  20. Good to see the police have their priorities in order:
  21. Just been told we can take people off furlough after three weeks if needed. Result.
  22. If anything it proves him completely wrong. This level of spending will damage the country for decades yet he wanted to do similar without a catastrophic once in a generation event. Imagine if Corbyn had got in and this virus had popped up in a year or two. if we had spent on the level he wanted we would be utterly utterly f*cked.
  23. Yawn.
  24. Tbf it's going to be impossible for all people to take annual leave once we are up and running again.
  25. Because he's in charge of running the country?
