    Just had an update on that petition we all signed on frontline NHS professionals getting tests. Finally, there is evidence that it is starting. Only just though. One nurse was offered a test a 2 hour drive away. Not her local hospital where she works. <doh>

    Not to mention that the sheer brilliance of making all those healthcare staff from the EU feel so unwelcome that they all went home is now being demonstrated on a daily basis.

    Blue ink, in case you didn’t guess!

    Trouble is, unless it's with immediate effect, you'll get a bunch of utter idiots saying "Last night of pubs tonights lads, let's all get BATTERED #bantz"

    Instead of neutral names, or the racist names of yore, maybe we really ought to give these viruses names that a 25 year old would hate to have to publicize. Call it SuperHerpes: Airborne Edition even it it bears no resemblance to a virus in that family and suddenly younger people will be much more loathe to catch it.

    BREAKING: Boris Johnson orders closure of bars, pubs, restaurants, cafes, leisure centres, gyms, cinemas, theatres and nightclubs across entire UK.

    They are to close tonight as soon as they feasibly can and will not be permitted to open tomorrow.

    That should put a stop to people coming into work while feeling unwell.

    Not being a great fan of the Tory government , I am astonished at the depth of the financial support they have assured citizens of this country. It is what they should do, no question about that, but the important thing is they have done it, and done it far beyond what many of us imagined they would do.

    I am very pleased that for once, the less well off are not being abandoned but are being supported in a meaningful way.

    Thank you Boris. I take my hat of to you for doing this for all those who need it.

    Amen to this. Fair play Rishi Sunak, an impressive speech and an important message.

    Yep, I'm not a fan of him or his government, but they really are trying to help everybody here.

    He’s definitely being groomed as Boris’s successor.
