UsedToGoToCentralPark Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Delay VAT payments due for companies, give everyone 16+ £1,000 a month across the board, keep people spending to keep people in work. Goverment can borrow money cheaper than we can.The other choice, cancel income tax and NI for workers but that doesn't help people who aren't in work. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Might be a bit more helpful if you explain how you're going to help employers Boris.Indeed. A complete waste of time that. He gave us no new information and just repeated the same shite. People don't want stupid attempts at comedy from their leader. Fucking buffoon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonS Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 16 hours ago, JTS98 said: I don't think it's about muslims, although the general religious line of still doing something the authorities have defined as dangerous - and which has proved dangerous just two weeks ago - because you are 'more afraid of God' is clearly a factor. They're not just putting themselves at risk, the last time they did this they ended up spreading the virus very widely and probably will do again. It's a total lack of consideration for others based on religious belief. It brings to mind the old joke about the devoutly religious person who knocks back various forms of help while stranded at sea and then upon arriving in Heaven asks God why he didn't save him. God answers, 'I sent you a boat, a helicopter, and a ship. What more did you want?' So, the religious aspect is quite clearly a factor, but I think it's a general lack of seriousness about health and safety in South East Asia in general. Anyone who has lived in this part of the world will have a bunch of stories about driving, cooking, hygiene, workplace safety, fire regulations, you name it. Just last night the Malaysian PM had to go on tv one day into a controlled movement order to tell the population to do what they're being asked to do because so many people were treating it like a holiday and going out and about visiting and spreading the virus around. Health and safety awareness in the whole region is miles away from what we are used to in Western Europe. I've definitely seen a lot more comment about mosques than churches. Since SARS a lot of South East Asian countries have been very firm on disease control - look at Singapore, for instance. And the health minister of Thailand was raging about western tourists not following the guidance. Are we much better? I took the kids up to the swimming last night (hands washed before going, shower before coming home), the gym was busy and there were dance classes on. I imagine that while we're posting pics of mosques, they're posting pics of our supermarket shelves... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alta-pete Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 A wee bit of levity in the current situation. My work is fkd, my brother has been sent home from work. Through a contact we managed to get a game of golf at Gleneagles today. (And if you’re wondering what all the footballers are doing at the moment, they’re all there self isolating amongst themselves. I know I know...). His wee van looked a wee bit out of place in the car park: Best caption competition entry we’ve had so far? w**k, w**k, Good Guy, w**k 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
