73,191 people tested. The insulting bit is that they think we are all so gullible we'll gobble down anything we're fed.
-
Great site. Massive amount of work I would imagine. Well done.
-
Only 14,000 people were tested yesterday.
-
They thought they could get away with pretending they promised capacity but now they've been reminded of the original pledge, it'll be difficult. If Cummings does deliver 100,000 tests out of the blue I'd be curious to see the detail. It was just another promise made to satisfy the easily-led. Ditto the PPE debacle and all the financial support for small businesses that doesn't stack up. It's easy to stand behind a lectern and read out cliches and promises, but delivering on the detail requires talent. And integrity. And organisation.
-
While this is an incredibly difficult crisis to manage with many factors to balance, we can't even organise a basic delivery of PPE from A to B. Hancock is so far out of his depth he's nearer to France than the UK, Patel is dangerously incoherent, Raab has no answer to any question, Boris doesn't understand basic medical advice, and when you get into the detail of the Chancellor's grand rescue plan for the economy, it amounts to a small tin of beans. This is not a team performing well. And if you still believe the nonesense we are drip-fed everyday, that we lead the world in everything - see New Zealand or Germany.

Putting him up there in front of a small stand-up audience and letting him vocalise every crazy thought is just wrong. It's getting to feel cruel now, like paying half a crown for a family day of merriment at the asylum. The poor man should be allowed some dignity - at the moment he has none, and every time he opens his mouth something ludicrous spills out.
-
Well done, they could probably do with a rinse pretty soon.

The old bus station - I was on a bus and a wino was sat on the kerb opposite having just been sick on the double yellow lines. Just as we pulled away he started picking through the puke and triumphantly located his false teeth. One of those moments that remains with you forty years on.

The Sunday Times - Southampton put up for sale at £250m

Have we had many viewings? -
It's as if the population has got the idea that we are a very special country that can ignore the advice of experts, learn nothing from the experience of foreigners, and to overcome any problem, we just need to believe. If only we could trace the source of all that bonkers malarky.

All the best with that Paradise - there must be people in your position in the UK who are having their lives put under threat by the selfish madness of those people who refuse to protect the community and their own relatives.

There's a high proportion of selfish idiots out there who are too thick to understand basic concepts. #notnews

It didn't take Cummings long to start throwing his own voters under a bus. He's ruthless that boy.
-
As well as the city businesses losing £13m today, the league situation is 'interesting'. Early suggestions are that only the top two will go up if the season can't be completed. With pompey two points short that would mean their haul of one point from the last two games has done enormous damage. Add in the loss of vital matchday income and things look a little bleak with a very long summer of wagebills ahead. I'm sure they've already forgotten all of those stupid points dropped against nine-man Coventry...etc.
-
Surely, if they scrap the season and the Premier League doesn't deliver the TV contracts, that would bankrupt us, and the majority of this division. So I suspect this season will conclude, by hook or by crook.
-
There will always be opinions, but referees must surely agree on whether a shoulder is handball or not, and whether to book or send off an attacker for diving, when a Liverpool defender fouls them in the box. There must be a vague level of consistency, we can't have twenty refs running their own interpretations on everything.
-
Massive investment promised, to be delivered with other people's money. Did Storrie and Redknapp do this budget?
-
You wouldn't send the players out individually without some strategy - surely the refs have training sessions and meet-ups where they agree a party line on interpreting and implementing laws? There seems to be no leadership.
-
All I ever ask of referees and VAR checks is consistency. I don't need to agree with them, I would just like to see the same rules being applied to both teams and in similar ways by all refs. Is that too much to ask?
-
In case anyone doesn't think VAR is broken, just remember the Burnley non-handball and compare it with Boufal's. And if you insist that both of those decisions were correct, other than the usual suspects who just do it for attention, I don't know where to start!

Stephen Graham as the angry care home manager challenging prejudice - Boris Johnson attempting to play the PM.

Looking at the replay you can see there was little intent, but he missed the ball, was over-committed and risked serious injury to the opponent. For me, sadly a red card, correctly ruled via VAR. So why on earth did they not even judge the similar situation on Bertrand? Their guy missed the ball, was over-committed and risked serious injury to the opponent. I'm not saying it was a definite red because there seems to be a media blackout on showing it and I'd like to see a replay, but why didn't they even look at it?

I haven't worn a mask to a game yet but on reflection I wish I'd worn a frigging blindfold to a few of them.
