What conditions are these workers going to be required to live in? Fucking despise this country sometimes... They have to enter 14 days isolation prior to being allowed to work, wherever it is it'll be reeking being holed up together. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will admit I've been very very lucky and never had to claim benefits so far in my life, but doesn't your benefit money stop if you don't apply or take work that's on offer. Sorry I realise I'm asking this question in the wrong thread.

Thereisalight.. Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I happened to be up a hill “in” town when it was 8pm, it’s a decent sized hill and I could still hear horns and pots and pans being hit. Wonder if it can be heard in space... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Friends in North Macedonia are also saying "what a country". The Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Minister, Health Minister and Education Minister are having to self isolate after attending a meeting with the Mayor of Kumanovo who has tested positive for Covid-19. It's also the Orthodox Easter and the PM has apparently said he can't stop people going to church (although Orthodox countries like Greece and Russia seem to have managed it). The faithful go in for all that icon kissing stuff which isn't the best idea at present.. still maybe the disease only affects the godless and Protestants 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I realise I'm asking this question in the wrong thread. Priti Patel will explain, she seemed to have it all in hand a couple of weeks ago. In the meantime. Temporary work is available in rural areas with near full employment. Even under Universal Credit rules you wouldn't be expected to commute from Glasgow to Auchternaewhere daily, or be forced to move. The brexit loving farmers have belatedly realised that the berries won't pick them fucking selves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
