Yes, this is all just a Brexit conspiracy that the whole world has signed up to, not only that but they've gone to the lengths of inventing a virus, sacrificing thousands of lives (and increasing by the day), just to screw over a little inconsequential island who's population still mistakenly think that they're a "world player" and have an "empire".

Oh dear..........

gbh - almost rule No 1 - you can never go backwards.

As you say, but it's not for me to publish information I receive, especially as it's not been confirmed by a recognised source.

That aside I hope there's a Big rethink re Globalisation once this is all over!

Why do people keep comparing with Spanish Flu, things have moved on since 1918, believe it or not! But it is ridiculous that all ties were not cut with Italy when they first announced an outbreak, anyone who had been there since previous weekend should have been told not possible to re-enter country of origin until quarantined.

max - as you should know by now it is a game. All about winning and winning some more as someone said some years back. Take care.

Ian@BarkhamPosted March 2, 2020 at 6:39 am | PermalinkGood morning Sir JohnA very good summation of why the country is taking so long in returning to some form of democracy.From the outside looking in with the civil service on board the UK will become a great country. If the current management in the civil service dont see that, then as with all organisations they need to move on or be made to move on.The UK is a business with lots of investors, our ability to flourish is hampered those that let's face it are working for the competition

@GBH2

ACE2 protein right?

Well, it looks like the intervention of the Central Banks is doing nothing to quell the fear.

I'm just waiting on someone very high profile to become seriously ill or Die and then it really will be panic time as the threat will suddenly become real to many, especially those who mock.......

M - most of the posts here have become 'what not to do' etc.

Strange because some of the posters have good comments on other threads (eg Poika and even CtR who may have been Fangorn etc in previous guises - hence they are not filtered despite this thread)!

Positive news on the U.S trade deal.

Are you trying to be more sarcastic than me?

Pound slides as UK may exit trade talks with US.
The British pound traded lower against major currencies on Monday with sterling dropping to its lowest level against the euro since October 17 amid fresh trade uncertainty.
British International Trade Secretary Liz Truss warned that the United Kingdom may walk away from trade negotiations with the United States unless the talks result in the deal UK wants.

Meanwhile

Meanwhile, British health officials announced that 12 people were confirmed positive for coronavirus on Sunday, bringing the total number of confirmed cases to 36.
United Kingdom Prime Minister Boris Johnson asserted that the infection represents a "significant challenge" for the country, claiming that the government and the NHS are determined to curb the spreading of COVID-19.

They are "determined"..naughty virus...

@Scruff,

Whatever happens the economic impact will be far worse than the virus itself I reckon..

Will take time for that to become apparent.

Plenty to ponder though.
