Marshmallo Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 That was insane. The UK is such a shitehole. An utter shambles for years but this crisis and the handling of it has crystallised everything bad about this country. I'm fortunate enough that I can work from home. If I worked in construction I would come out of that without a clue what the expectation was for tomorrow morning. The graphics were like something from a kids' education show as well. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really sure how getting a lot people back is going to be however - lots of issues, particularly whether distancing can be enforced and also transport issues. Other than that, more of the same. It's a shame it was clearly prerecorded, though. Probably the only way to keep a poor public speaker on track though I guess. I didn't catch Johnson saying anything quarantining arrivals, although Huw Edwards reported it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Venom Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 I'm pretty sure he passed off the death toll at the start because it's nowhere near the projection of 500k. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Message from Johnston seems to be to go out a catch the virus. if London goes back to work at the rates he wants there’s absolutely no way we won’t be seeing cramped underground. the chaos he will create in Carlisle and Berwick definitely will definitely cause problems up here. I’d advise we should be putting resources along the border to try and contain the issues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was already an option but now it's being pushed. In every country it's the industries that create real value which are going back first. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My kids were kicking off at the time so I might have missed a bit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fratelli Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Depressing that whilst it's abundantly clear he's helplessly out of his depth, all he has to do is say things in an emphatic voice, point his hands at the screen and chuck in a bit of persuasive language and his supporters will fawn over it. Enough folk to see him remain in power too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 So what exactly is the point in NS in her response saying they have to remain closed if she knows full well she cant enforce that. Just hot air. There are building sites in Scotland that are already working; not sure if they closed or if they did for how long. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
