It’s alarming how many folk are buying lockdown this without question.

Last pandemic in 2009 killed 250,000-500,000.

We have shutdown a third of the planet and this virus has killed 10,000, 99.9% have underlying health issues.

The most tested nation on Earth reporting mortality rates of 0.3%.

Let’s lose our freedoms to keep people safe? Where does it end?

Life is for living. Life is taking risks.

Life isn’t staying in indefinitely because a virus kills the old and infirm.

Even my old boy agrees with this and hes a kick to the arse off 70 with Asthma. My Ma has him in the back room throwing food at him ffs. He drive a taxi out a falls road depot for 40 years nearly when they were killing Taxi drivers for sport yet he has to spend a chunk of his twilight years like a pariah incase he catches it and dies? Bullshit.

Vast majority of old people I've spoke to couldn't give a ****, it's all the wee civil servants on full pay forever telling every **** to stay indoors, wonder why.

See this 80% carry on surely it is 80% of your contract? Daughter been told they're going by what people worked on February, surely that's utter balls?

Don't know how other places are doing it but mine are paying 80%(my works making up the extra 20%) of our basic salary, meaning any overtime, bonuses, commission or any extras we may have earned in that time won't be accounted for.

We're obviously happy to be getting it but at the same time it means my April wage will be around £300-£400 less due to lost overtime. For salesmen in my work they are losing thousands in lost car sales commission, their basic wage is quite ****e.

So if my work done what your daughters is doing I'd actually be better off.

Also coming back to bite the arses of self-employed who have declared low earnings. Spend years claiming every receipt as tax rebates and making sure earnings are low enough to get every benefit going then sh.it their knickers at the thought of getting 80% of f.uck all. That is even if the Chancellor agrees to wedge them out the same as employees are.

It's the black cabbies I feel sorry for, year upon year of cash in hand, no receipts and sod all in tax and now the streets of London are empty. On a serious note I reckon the Government should be asking cabbies (including Ubers and mini-cabs) to ferry front line workers around to ease congestion on the buses and tubes. They are doing f.uck all else at the moment so why not?
