Arresting folk will come as a novel experience to some Police, they're more used to putting plasters over their paper cuts - can't see it happening and to the folk they fine? Broad brush statement but what's the chances of John drinking cider in the park with his pals actually even accepting it, never mind paying it? Suppose you've got to be seen to be using the stick though.

On the back of the above; spare a few thoughts for the off thought ill cousin of the NHS - local authorities and the social care system (I'd the joy of working in both sectors at a time). Whilst the NHS have no obligations to deliver a balanced budgets, it's poorer cousin does; creating a massive imbalance between the two. When this settles down, no doubt the NHS will come back on the agenda for review. It'll entail the normal 'what can we do': whole-scale reforms or pump more money into it - for what it's worth money isn't the solution IMO: Scotland for example spend more money on health per capita than England, yet have waiting lists somethings double of those down south. They really need to look at other countries who spend less, yet achieve more: easier said than done - if you take Japan for example, to compare the two is negating looking at fundamental differences across the population: you can segment parts of the UK across 'obesity, alcohol' and various other factors. My first port of call would be to cut the raff of middle management populating the NHS: non clincial, non necessary and for those who still remain, start holding them to account to, what often is, mismanagement.

Lest not forget, amongst some political backslapping, and various politicians falling over themselves, that this was only a few months ago: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-50829634 Where workers had to strike to get fair pay - world away from the current political juxtaposition of 'I've always admired the NHS, me' So yes, whilst some of the political decision recently have been good, best remember that this Conservatives would quite happily sell the NHS to the highest bidder to get them off the government balance sheet (though, to add balance, the NHS is a very inefficient beast and has been for many a year, populated with management consultant fees and cash sapping red tape)

80% compensation extended to Self-Employed. Unfortunately it's based on their average profits - something that, for their tax liability, they'll have sought to have made as low as legally possible.

Some of the saddest words in the English Language; Beer and Undrunk

Save the Beer An appeal has been launched in the Czech Republic to "save" the equivalent of 1,305,552 pints of craft beer that will go off "within weeks" if it is not drunk. The beer is languishing undrunk in barrels in 32 craft breweries across the country. All pubs and restaurants are closed to the public (they can serve through hatches) but customers can buy direct from breweries. Pale lager as we know it was invented in the Czech city of Pilsen in 1842. The Czech Republic has the highest per capita beer consumption in the world.

Interesting stats from Italy re deaths; 48.5% had three or more 25.6 and 25.1 had one or two Leaving the 0.8 % with none which largely in line with other places I think. These stats aren’t even reliable themselves because I think they’re testing the corpses and no doubt there will be a push to attribute the cause to Corona. Not sure we’ll ever get a true feel for the data

The comparison to flu isn’t right mind you in terms of the actual disease.

The HCID downgrading is interesting because it basically, to my knowledge, went largely unreported! Which, in layman’s terms, says that it doesn’t have high consequence. As usual, not spoken about in the MSM; they’d rather focus on help usher in hysteria. Do the numbers justify economic recessions, lockdowns and all the rest. Sounds a bit harsh to couch it in numbers but at the moment I’m not so sure; something about this doesn’t sit easy for some reason. Time will tell.

May be the case but think your still looking at a fatality rate in and around the 0.1% mark. Iv seen various news and social media ramp this up to such a level that I thought we were in the realms of mad cow disease levels. Once this all settles down I’ll be interested in seeing what the actual figures we’re talking about here. been that many contradictor medical experts as well that doesn’t help things.

It's the running of headlines without any contextual information that is a big issue, the quoting of % figures without the neon sign caveat that the data is inherently skewed as well. All built up into a frenzy for the sharks to circle. Sky News running the same thing time and time again - one off pieces about the person under 30 who has died with no underlying conditions for example - yes, true, but the way it's presented is almost as if to incite fear. Still folk in the park when you walk through it - can't see many being approach by PC Plod.

Be interested to see if the Oxford Data pans out about half the population already having been exposed to it. Would mean less than 1 in 1000 required hospital treatment with most having no symptoms at all. Data’s not been verified and tbh doesn’t square with the rest of the data but may add some perspective if true

Yes Ten million dollars from Valdes personally With x50 wagering, max bet 50p Capped at 100 quid

Same, but my brain replaced Red Elephant with ‘Angry White Men’

40p Wouldn’t go near any slot on 4 or 5 unless a healthy balance; suicide 9/10

Bit harsh, Johnny's not THAT bad.

Londoners doing what they do best: looking out for numero uno

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-52011915 Ashley is a psychopath. Sports Direct offer essential services...for looking like a Chav. Just slightly classier than Foot Locker.

Unfortunately if they were thick i could live with that but on one side they're more entitled, a generation of people who aren't used to folk saying no to them, who think their birth right gives them a claim to do whatever they want. You're dealing with a sizeable generation who, for example, have seen their parents not working, who in turn have grew up to replicate that attitude in terms of what they expect despite non contribution of any sorts to life - it's built into their psyche and it comes out for things like this. Then you have the older population, some of whom grew up during/post war who remember the times when the pubs still opened when German fire was raining down on the Red Lion pub, who think 'nah, seen worse' - so your're caught between both opposing worlds. Seen enough self exclusion threads on here to pick up on a small sample of the whole abdication of personal responsibility - this is just those folk extrapolated across 60 million

Since when? AFAIK only a handful of states like New Jersey are like this? Having said that, can't disagree with the rest of the post. As said somewhere before - for countries like the USA/Aussieland, I have no problems with casino's offering services but if they do that they they shouldn't play the 'restricted country card' when it suits.

Keep the time noted and they’ll verify it at their end; won’t be disqualified cos of the limitations of mobile play

wouldn’t have much faith in it being enforced given our police here; last experience of them was after my sisters ex husband stole her car was ‘oh, that’s a domestic matter’ and they went back to shuffling paper.

Just dump the casinos that do this. Depending on your market there are loads of places that will give you painless cashouts, no document request nonsense etc. Live Chat is sadly now seen as a disposable business function, non strategic and non essential in terms of being good; why most have outsourced it.

Probably cos the country's populated by morons who need a stick and not a carrot. Good job Brexit means we can can get rid of those pesky troublemaking foreigners who's fault it always is - oh wait, they're homebred.

Good to see the Spirit of the Blitz has been confined to a once classier time. Food stolen from freezers, robbing ATMs at hospitals, hoarding and fighting. Chips are down out come the scumbags.
