I doubt we’ll spend a penny.

Do you reckon he’s going to get suicided like Epstein?

But if it's materially more risky for one group then it's not OK to just exclude them. Anyway, I edited the post because I can't be bothered with the inevitable weird race discussion.

But we can't have players picking and choosing whether to play or not. Makes a mockery of the competition.

I used to cycle from Waterloo to Liverpool Street area and it was not particularly pleasant. OK on the backstreets but the busy junctions near the Thames and the City sucked big-time. Also, many of the cyclists were massive ****-heads.

Was he deputy headmaster at a school in a previous career?

There's no way of proving she caught it from him though? It's obviously assault but the chain of causation can easily be challenged, I would have thought.

Most of those are currently being subsidised though and we'll probably have Hoedt, Lemina, Elyounoussi and Forster back on the wage bill (plus anyone I've forgotten). No, hopefully not as bad as being relegated but our chances of building a better squad are taking a big hit (along with some other clubs). This is actually likely to cause further inequality between the mega rich clubs and the PL also rans.

Bit off that they called you a ****.

****ing 5g.

He's such a drip. Can't handle anything without having a tantrum.

TV money is the lion's share of revenue for clubs like Saints. Our wage bill is something like 65% of revenue and we may not be able to shift our duds this summer. This could have a material impact on our spending and financial standing over several years. We won't go into admin but we could end up in something of a debt spiral.

I can't see any way it finishes by the end of June. There's 51 days (fewer by the time it starts) to play something like 90 matches. Isn't going to happen. So they need to settle the contract issue in a fair way as well.

It's a country of over 50,000,000 people with approximately one twentieth of the number of recorded cases the UK has and less than one hundredth of the number of deaths so, yeah, I'd say it's much safer than Kev, Wayne and Trev waddling round B&Q

I totally agree it wouldn't have worked overly well in the UK as a whole compared to, say, Hong Kong, Singapore or South Korea. But I think the point the "lift the lock-down" folk need to understand is that demand for services and for certain types of experience will remain low for some time. Ultimately, the economic damage has been done by the virus, not by governments taking precautions. The idea that everything would have been fine if we'd kept calm and carried on is a nonsense. That's not to say governments aren't important. Clearly they have a role in managing the disease, in providing safety nets and stimulus measures and providing calm and clear leadership (maybe we could, errr, inject disinfectant?).

UK "lock down" started 23 March. Most forms of transport use were below 50% against baseline by that date. Sure, you'd still have pubs, restaurants and what have you open if there was no mandate and no economic safety net but they'd be virtually empty in most places.

It's still up, seems to work for me, but maybe the address changed. https://quillette.com/2020/05/08/enough-with-the-phoney-lockdown-debate/

https://quillette.com/2020/05/08/eno...ckdown-debate/ Worth a read. Limited data points cited but essentially makes the point that lock-down has been a public response to the virus and not influenced hugely by government policy decisions or actions. Obviously test and trace needs competent government intervention though so you'd think the countries that do best with this over the long-term will be those with sensible, well-educated populations and organised well-led governments. No surprise we're doing badly, then.

I dunno. It was a genuine question. Non-consensual finger-banging is bad. Pretty depressing really.

It's not a good look for him, and he's a depressing candidate, but what exactly is he accused of? A few comments, a pat on the ass, waving his todger around...? Whereas we know Trump: - grabs women's genitals, so he says - sneaks into girls changing rooms - is accused of raping a 13 year old up the ass - used to hang out with Epstein - sexualises his own young daughter

Yeah, he was one of the most portentous around. Giving it large about running out of ventilators and bodies stacked up everywhere. The reality is, this disease had the potential for exponential growth with fat-tailed attributes. Precaution was needed. Comparisons with malaria, cholera etc., whilst showing the real tragedy facing many people in the world's poorer countries, are largely irrelevant when it comes to managing this risk in any other given country. Now, there will come a point where we have enough data on mortality rates and infection rates, hopefully soon, where we can start taking a more calculated approach and get back to something more akin to "normal".

"bloody hell", Lower East, circa 1991 - 1993.

This is a reasonable summary, I think. Not sure if the 30% false negative stat is accurate or not.
