"Let the whole country unite now behind this charismatic man."

Absolutely no chance.

Only charismatic to empty void thickos. Not to me and many others, we think he is a prat.

Will anyone be checking the MP's expenses?


You know, little things like less train fares etc. After all, they are now working from home.

[k38] 09/4/2020 20:31

I expect.. most of the front bench and a few of the rest will give away the money. all others, 2/3 will keep the money.

My MP lives up the road
Ca see why she needs an extra £10k

[diku] 09/4/2020 20:22

Alp...the question is how many will take the full 10K or close to the 10k?...and how many won't take a penny?...

[k38] 09/4/2020 20:20

bob do you sell your house to fill your boots...lolThat was one change every year or so..mr e.Indeed. All economic problems of the business will effect the price a bit later. For now will continue upwards.

Great news, let's hope many more follow his lead out of icu. Well done the nhs too.

Boris out of intensive care. Let the whole country unite now behind this charismatic man.

Dunno where you get that idea from, Pierre, just stating that if there were no lockdown, we'd be looking at millions of cases in this country with untold number of deaths. No emotions in it, just facts.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

poik, I;m not sure they are facts, but anyhow.

Gov estimates of deaths were 6k one day and then 240k the next. That revised death number raised a lot of eyebrows, and seemed political, not science based imv.

But let's nevertheless assume 240k deaths. Then how many would the nhs be saving from death? I suppose that depends on the number of icu beds and ventilators. Is that about 10k? (given they have 2 new hospitals with 4k each i think). Assume 20% in icu die, 40% would recover even if not in icu, and 40%have their life saved, then thats 4,000 lives saved, and that'll be every 2 weeks say. Say that level of infection lasts for 2 months, then that's 16,000 lives saved,

note I've used the most extreme numbers to give the very maximum number of lives saved.

So if we didn't build those 4k icu hospitals, and didn't have lockdown, and still went pubbing and clubbing, then there'd be 16k extra people dead from covid (that isn;t the total deaths of course, just those saved by all the current measures).

See anything wrong in the simple maths or assumptions? Come on poik, i think you're one of the very few who could probably follow the maths, could you comment on the assumptions and maths please?

I won't repost how many extra deaths from suicide, depression, family violence, stress, anxiety, poverty and all the other consequencies lockdown implies.

Who else in the country gets more money in Lockdown - no-one.

Even people with no income from work have lost their dividend income!

Disgraceful I reckon.

[mikemichael2] 09/4/2020 19:03

Maybe they should all take up the 10k and donate it to front line nurses.

[freddie01] 09/4/2020 18:29

Uptick for you Alphorn.

[alphorn] 09/4/2020 18:25

diku - wouldn't they have less expenses because of no travel etc.

They must think that everybody is a fruit & nut to believe that they don't already have a laptop.

They might be Tory's or Labour but they are all from the same mold..........takers.

[diku] 09/4/2020 18:20

From the media...


MPs have been offered an extra £10,000 to cover the cost of working from home for them and their staff during the coronavirus crisis.

The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority has issued updated guidance which states every MP can access the additional cash to boost their office costs budget to pay for things like laptops for staff and electricity.

Meanwhile, the monthly credit limit for MPs has been increased to £10,000, a 90 day limit on expenses claims has been suspended and rules on the evidence needed for costs to be reimbursed have been relaxed.

These China flu presser's are all the same, call themselves journalists they're nowt but scripted puppets. We all want to know was the virus produced in a Wuhan laboratory or has it jumped to man from bat lollipops?

K38

We got the 28p though M8

[mr.elbee] 09/4/2020 17:35

you mean 34p support k38?

I think you are right

[k38] 09/4/2020 16:41

We must be fair...Financial advice and prediction from experience plus additional information, are two different things..I don't give financial advice.
