pandarilla Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 This has been posted on an Indy site on Facebook https://www.gompels.co.uk/phe-polythene-aprons-on-a-roll-white-1000.htmlIf that's genuine then there's a story at play here. I'm a wee bit skeptical but the fact sturgeon has taken it on shows there might indeed be something to it. If hancock is denying it then some lower level muppet might be getting fired shortly. We'll see how it plays out. In terms of today's numbers, more good signs that we're in a plateau phase, am i right? Hopefully at some point in the next week there will be a steady fall emerging. I've not seen any trends rising steadily for a wee while, whether it's confirmed cases, numbers in icu, or deaths. I know folk on here are generally critical of suggestions to ease restrictions anytime soon but surely we need the economy to be slowly moving to keep paying for things like the nhs, and the furlough scheme. An indefinite lockdown of the economy is not going to only affect those at the top (i couldn't give a shit about them either and quite frankly some of them have been shown up by this crisis for the evil c***s that they often are). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Stubbs Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Sunak and (I think) the CNO both making the point of saying suppliers haven’t ‘been told’ to not supply Scotland, even though that wasn’t the question. Wouldn’t be surprised for more to come of this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
