Oh, I'm not bro, - it'd be foolish to worry over something you have no control over.

Lol.. No no no, you misunderstood me Darren.
- I'm not worried. However I have no hesitation in recommending that you be very wary if Martial Law is declared in SoCal.

Good article on the Health Secretary's singling out footballers as those who should play their part. Well now they have provided charitable funding to a public service that has been underfunded who is next?

So over to the other 98% of millionaires in the UK, Mr Hancock, many of whom are members of your own political party.

Personally I think being a hypocrite is very poor and the minister has been a first class D1ck.

I also realise the News Papers have the right to print topical news stories to the public, but I can't help think that is irresponsible of the Daily Mail to print that story on a gloriously sunny Good Friday and the start of a long Bank Holiday weekend in lockdown. That news will give alot of people the excuse they need to say fook it, we are going out (facepalm)

Some people will do it anyway regardless of what is suggested or what they are told.

I hope that once we are through this, we have a completely new political agenda with none of these privileged selfish idiots running the Country.

Agree some will do it anyway but suspect that irresponsible story could open the flood gates to many, many more who are restless, bored and frustrated at being boxed up in a flat or apartment in a city centre, with no garden available.

The difficulty comes when the authorities are forced to apply the same rules to everyone in different situations.

Personally, I’ve been breaking the rules and driving the kids out for runs in the Peaks. It’s a 5 minute drive to a footpath in the middle of nowhere that nobody uses. No one will convince me that that isn’t much safer for everyone than going to my local park full of other people.

The local police enforcing the rules just need to apply some common sense, which they do appear to be doing.

The article said he went to deliver medication & didn't enter the house. If that's true then I really don't think it's that big of a deal.

He's been telling the nation not to leave their homes.

Their neighbours were supplying them with food and medication.

It was an unnecessary journey and we've told by him not to do them.

Dickhead 2 - 15,000 people per day are flying into the UK every day and none are being tested in any way.

Dickheads 3 - In 2016 the Govt ran a scenario where a pandemic took hold on the UK. It showed that the NHS was completely ill prepared for it. The report into it was buried and has never been published.

Are they being tested before departing their country of origin??

So the authorities are aware of this and allow them to enter anyway?
