It's a constant source of wonder that Junior Pub League goes around thinking he's a functional homo sapiens.
I have somehow never encountered, or noticed, him before, is he always that bad?

That is now taking up an NHS bed.
Think that one through.

Like f**k is he in an NHS hospital.

A Bairnardo dose but can't afford to be at the forefront over the next week or so.

Whilst BoJo succumbing to this would definitely not be at all hilarious, I have to say i'm in two minds about it. One the one hand we might get a public holiday out of it, on the other the PM croaking will likely extend the lockdown and I'll not get my 2 weeks of hillwalking etc in May. 
Hmmm. 
Hillwalking in May. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

It's the hope that kills you. Nah in all seriousness i know that's not happening. Main concern is getting money back for my accommodation. This will last until late summer at least.

The Times reporting that the antibody tests, which the government said would be ready in weeks, would allow home testing and were going to let everyone go back to a degree of normality immediately if they were positive, have been rejected for use. Apparently they're actually only effective in showing the antibody if you've been seriously ill with it, making them useless for identifying it among a significant proportion of the population. A more accurate test which would allow widescale testing as the government intended is still months away at least.

Along with ordering new prototype versions of ventilators from companies with no experience of making them while blanking established manufacturers, why is this government so insistent on chasing magic pie in the sky solutions to issues rather than just getting testing in place as soon as possible like every other country?

I blame the scum drinking cans of cider in Pollok Park spoiling it for the rest of us!

The Great British  Brexit mindset. Rather shoot themselves in the foot than play second fiddle to some Johnny Foreigner. Plus the Queen said better days will return, so it's all good.

It's all in their plan, they knew these issues would arise. 

The more things go wrong the more we'll over promise and under deliver.
