#888 - a taster this Friday. The forecasts are pretty scary.

May be all hunky dory as the majority on this thread would have you believe.

The Express says the best numbers ever. Lol

Do we know the "leading agency" ??They must be using a crystal ball like the rest of us using to predict share prices. LOL ....."The UK is likely to be the hardest-hit by Covid-19 .... a leading agency has warned."

Sounds like the sinking of the Belgrano GtG.

UK could be the hardest hit

"The UK is likely to be the hardest-hit by Covid-19 among major economies, a leading agency has warned."

Tom Armstrong10 Jun 2020 12:47PMThe following post was deleted - twice - without trace, one of a number of similar posts I have had deleted recently - obviously too subversive for the increasingly leftist DT:"The blame falls on the whole leftist, Common Purpose-infested Government Apparatus.  Johnson's heart might be in the right place, but he is, after all, a mere wordsmith.  He is now controlled by the utterly useless Mandarin Class of senior civil servants who, as a group, have got just about every major decision wrong since about the year 1900.We need root and branch reform of our way of government, and the total destruction of the arrogant, parasitical arts degree socialist Establishment - the same bunch who think it best to watch a mob of brainwashed, brainless thugs destroy the fittings of our society, and impose a ruthless thought crimes regime on us in order to criminalise opposition to their insane cultural revolution. ... captured just before deleting again.Daily TelegraphThe Leftist virus infecting our body politic is much more destructive than the Chinese Flu."

"Of course the problem with positioning yourself as a centrist is that your much more likely to have to yield to one side or the other."


Erm, no, I don't. I don't believe in 16th century politics.

Allan Edmunds10 Jun 2020 12:36PM@David Anderson @John Clark John Redwood or Peter Lilley as PM. JRM as chancellor of the exchequer.That ought to do it.Also efforts should be made try to get Nigel Farage to join the Conservative party for the good of the country-as a national duty-With him in the government we would have someone with a straight talking commonsense approach and some backbone.He might inspire the others.

Utrick,

Martin had been burgled over and over again.

So he finally broke, and set in wait for the next bunch to break into his house.

Two gypo scumbags broke into his house and when confronted by someone armed, turned and as they left one of them shot.

Media were noticeably quiet on the fact he'd been repeat burgled.Over 30+ times.

Gypo got what he deserved. Pity the other shyster wasnt killed as well imo.


You break and enter with a view to stealing,or worse, you deserve all you get imv.

Anon Anon10 Jun 2020 12:15PMI have to admit this government needs to get its act together.The Covid risks are very low to zero for huge numbers of the U.K. population. The impacts of lockdown impacts us all. The economic and social disruption will result in thousands and thousands of deaths and massive harm.Today the government should1. Allow all businesses to open - and let the individuals make decisions. Help the high risk2. Get on with Brexit- walk away from the talks now if they aren't going any where- if they are going somewhere fine but make it happen in JuneEnd the furlough and get the public sector back to work - provide help to the high risk

Stuart Reed10 Jun 2020 12:38PMThe government is squandering it's majority, if Boris fudges Brexit it will be a treachery beyond words, their approach to emerging from lockdown is far too tentative and they seem to be reactive rather than leading from the front - what are they afraid of? The risk of a second wave is low, the risk to children is virtually non-existent, there will likely be no vaccine so are they thinking they will close down the economy at the next hint of infections rising next year? The economic strength that has been built has also been squandered in a few short months. The majority should be a platform to focus on law and order, the economy and trade - to hide behind the receding threat of Covid while the economy is in tatters is beyond belief. As is the wholesale surrender to mobs on the street who have nothing better to focus on than a confected grievance and sympathy for a tragedy thousands of miles away - the Leftist mob never let a good crisis go to waste. The NHS is now shaping up to demand more because of the backlog that they themselves have created because of the mismanagement of Covid, so the circus starts all over again, meanwhile the government is losing the will to fight and to pursue it's proper agenda. Oh so clear and yet all the players continue being whipped up by the darling BBC and the other gutter media outlets.

George Smith10 Jun 2020 12:42PMAs ye sows, so ye reaps. What this crisis has exposed is that our administrative class is basically rubbish.This is a badly run country. We are like Greece Actually we are worse, because the reason they are bad is because of corruption and brown envelopes. Here, how this country is run is because we have genuinely incompetent people running basically everything.Wherever I look I see this. At the local level I see rubbish on my street, parks not looked after properly. I see people smoking dope openly on the street with no fear of arrest. I try to use the NHS and I get delay and rudeness and occasionally, eventually, a really nice doctor or nurse. I can go on and on.They tax dodge in Greece because the government is useless and corrupt. Here, the only functioning part of the administration that's very proper and efficient is the tax collection service.Can Boris fix this? Early signs are not encouraging, I'm bitterly sad to say.

[utrickytrees] 10/6/2020 12:43

Of course the problem with positioning yourself as a centrist is that your much more likely to have to yield to one side or the other. Your much better off being left or right of centre to give yourself a bit if wriggle room. What's it to be?

UK aerospace calls for bailout after €15bn French rescue package

Government rescue package will help safeguard the 100,000 jobs that Paris says are at risk from air travel collapse


Why is our aerospace industry left to rot and isn't this state support by France?

Britain will be the biggest economic casualty of the Covid-19 crisis among the world’s leading nations this year as output slumps by 11.5pc, alarming new forecasts revealed on Tuesday. - Telegraph

Oh dear.

Bellway placed three quarters of its staff on furlough immediately after the lockdown but has since returned all to work except those on closed sites in Scotland. Unlike peers in the sector, including Taylor Wimpey and Barratt Homes, the builder did not make use of the government’s Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme, instead keeping staff on its own payroll.

“Housebuilders have benefited from [government] schemes like Help to Buy. It seems a bit disingenuous if we now need government support to help with our wages. The responsible thing to do is stand on our own two feet and leave that money to sectors which really need it: hospitality, travel etc,” said Mr Honeyman.




Well, I'd never thought I would read that from this sector. Well done Bellway.

GtG tbf I dint know enough about the case to really comment. However I'm told that up untill the 1970's it was lawful to shoot aboriginals who strayed onto farm land in Australia!

[geckotheglorious] 10/6/2020 12:06

Mike,

I'd make it a capital offence to deface,smash or topple these statues.

This mess would soon stop. Dead in its tracks in fact as the first scumbag was swung from the lamp post.

[utrickytrees] 10/6/2020 12:02

Reasonable force doesnt include fkin shooting people unless it's an aboriginal &your in Australia.

[minerve 2] 10/6/2020 11:49

It makes you wonder who what happened to the defence. I didn't follow the case closely.

Of all my friends, just one thought Farmer Martin should have been convicted of manslaughter. Everyone else thought he should have been acquitted. Nobody thought murder was appropriate.

So the question remains, how the hell did the authorities manage to find 12 good men and true to convict of murder? Very, very suspicious.
