Up Till Now....

He is **** .

Bristol social care services have been left to fend for themselves In regards to PPE. No service can plan for an epidemic but a council can oversee the bulk purchasing of PPE and distribution. A basic. It hasn't been done.

 

The players and coaches are not working and not fulfilling their contracts.
Southampton players have agreed a 10% deferral, not cut, and are being lauded as one of the first group to do so. That's, on average, a wage DEFERRAL of £6k a week.
The poor sods, it only leaves them £54k a WEEK to get by.
How will they manage?

 

Thoughts and prayers for all who suffer with this terrible pandemic.
Today especially for the best defender I've ever seen play for BCFC.

 

Hoping he makes a speedy recovery, great player and man......I've had the pleasure (not so much pleasure) in being part of his training sessions!!

 

Just watched on OTIB the Roger Malone interview.
To see those wonderful times again, the passion of Ashton Gate and Norm in full flow was fantastic and not ashamed thinking of him now how it's brought a tear to my eye.

 

The Crown Prosecution Service published yesterday the following guidance :

'Driving to exercise if less time spent in the car than getting fresh air' is absolutely fine.

There are more 'do's and don'ts ' but the one above has exercised us on here more than others.

Basically R&W you can drive your dog for his walk.

 

this is a bit ambiguous although R &W is as i commented before able to drive within the area he wants to walk his dog. ..it being less than 30 mins return journey ..
the guide lines for a walk is "an hour" [ max?] so in retrospect you can drive 30 mins to walk ! depending on how fast you drive opens it up for interpretation and what "rule" would be applied in determining whether or not you complied …. the CPS do get a lot of stuff wrong … I think this statement is not a sensible one at this time …

 

Up till now I have watched the 5pm Downing Street update.
I can't anymore as if I do I'll put my foot through the TV. The government, no doubt, have made mistakes. They also come across with bumbling answers that invite ridicule.
For all this I detest the negative slant from every journalist's question. They only look for problems and I'm fed up to the back teeth with them.
We're in a fight ffs, let's have some belief and positivity.

join the club on BBC especially asking negative Q's etc..... had the same thought today .. it is getting boring … OK they did try to change it around a bit today … I expected more on the disaster which is Durdle door and the amounts of **** ...the real stuff mostly in discarded babies nappies, cant remember where it was from but over 300 bags of crap from 1 small area of Saltford [ there you are remembered ..dementia not that bad then !!! ]
reminds me of last year before my surgery last chance with GK's on beach at B-O -Sea .. an ethnic pair of parents [2 cars 5 grown ups, with 5 kids all in nappies] in front of 1 of the cars as it drove away was a pile of bags and plastic bottles, 50m from where they were stopped there was a load of bins and they had been up for icecreams just before they left .. BAD, WELL not the worst a "new friend , kids always find them! " chirped up when I said look at that filthy lot see what they left... "they were quite tidy they dug a hole and buried a load of it" really said I what did they bury ? … all the babies stuff! …
wandering over a while later with a bin liner to pick up the plastic's [ I regularly since the 70's pick up plastic bottles tins/cans and clean up rope and plastics from beach's in Scotland ] the area of the hole looked a meter across, I later got to see the contents [ some of them ] as a 4x 4 drove over the hole and compressed part exposing ****ty nappies. sorry to say we moved up / along the beach about 200m.
this is the sort of Q we need to be asked … there was 1000 x £80 fines at Durdle door Saturday. People are camping out 100- 200 miles from home and the gov is paying their wages!

 

Their a bunch of lefties BBC in particular and HTV is not far behind.

 

some of peston comments very reasonable

 

There have been many references to us being in a ‘fight’ or a ‘war’. Some have even compared it to WW2 - as they did with Brexit too, but when we really WERE fighting a war, the government of the time formed a coalition government to tackle the crisis together as one, across party borders.
This government has opted to ‘go it alone’ on both events, leaving the opposition as exactly that; the opposition - looking helplessly from the outside as the government tries to handle it alone.

With this in mind the government needs to be held to account for every detail and deserve every scrutiny they get.
Brexit and Coronavirus - they cant say with one breath that we’re facing a WW2 scale crisis and expect the country to unite, when at the same time fail to involve a significant number of elected representatives.
Desperate times call for desperate measures and going it alone means they will shoulder the blame for everything that doesn’t go well.

 

HTV? Is your TV from Comet or Rumbelows?

 

R&W
Do you think the scenes on Dorset beaches would be any different if a coalition government with the wisdom of such luminaries as Corbyn and Mrs Abbott be in place. I think whatever government be in place they would listen to the SAGE advice. I can't see how it would be different, you'd still get clowns jumping off Durdle Door.
And I still think you'd get clever assed journalists having their day in the sun picking holes wherever their hindsight takes them.

 

I might be alone, but still think the government have done a decent job through unprecedented circumstances....as for the media and journalists.. total blame game shambles..not helped whatsoever.....but if I'm honest..I didn't expect anything different..

 

You are not alone!

 

Love it
