    "If a significant number of people act like children, they need to be treated like children, whatever Peter Hitchens thinks."

    Actually, I believe he thinks just that.

    I suspect he's looking after number one whilst we become a banana republic...

    Of course I didn’t actually read what he said, beyond what was visible on your post.

    Bloody hell fair play to what they have done to that Excel building. What was it 4-5 days ago that it was an empty space? Have you seen it now with all the beds lights and medical equipment in? <applause>

    This was 2 days ago and now looks even more fitted out.

    I see the underground tubes are still packed like sardines, no wonder London has the highest rate in the country, obviously some are just not bothered at what effect the virus has & prepared to pass it on, idiots

    To be fair, Piers Morgan absolutely condemned it on Twitter

    Bono didn't mention anything yesterday because it was Sunday bloody Sunday. I can't think of a reason why Bob Geldof hasn't said anything today though.

    A few people might appreciate what Former Royal Justice Lord Sumption said on Radio 4 this morning ... about 17 minutes in ... and some won't of course, but that's fine.

    Might be on a simpler machine called a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) oxygen pumped through a face mask. Apparently 50% of people on these don’t need heavier ventilator intervention. UCH, UCL and some F1 teams (definitely Mercedes and McLaren) have got together to design really simple CPAP machines, which have passed regulation, and will be building a thousand a day by this time next week if trials go well.

    Hat doffed.

    So was that your dog who 'acted' in the viral photo that has done the rounds swearing at his owner in protest at the prospect of yet another f'ing walk?

    They've cut the number of trains running which has negated the drop in passengers. They should run peaktime schedules as normal and cut off peak on the busy lines. They have passenger info at the touch of a button, no excuses...
