    We're getting reports daily of this happening, across all network operators. There really are some stupid ****s out there - and probably the first to complain when they've got no signal on their phone.

    We've been given guidelines on how to deal with confrontations with the public, although a rap around the skull with a big spanner would be my preferred option

    What the ****?

    Sometimes the stupidity is simply beyond comprehension.

    What's annoying is that Belarus still has games going on and Sky is not broadcasting them. I need my fix.

    ...such as a world where people don’t find fame from cracking jokes about rape and disability.

    I just saw reports that Mr Trump has decided to cut US funding for/to the WHO. Unbelievable but what really gets me is that this will be supported down there by his core supporters. Why worry about saving lives when there is an election to be won.

    And we are no better here in Canada where we have a conspiracy theory suggesting that this was all a ploy of the Trudeau Liberals to knock off all of us geezers who routinely vote Tory. No comment from that lunatic fringe on why we started it in China but there you go

    13 in hospital

    9 people have died

    Salary and perquisites
    For the fiscal year from 1 July 2017 to 30 June 2018, the prime minister's salary is NZ$471,049, plus a tax-free allowance of NZ$22,606 to cover out-of-pocket official expenses such as meals, gifts, and entertainment.

    How will she cope on, 450000 dollars this year

    He suggested on his show (on ITV) that it was wrong that the mainstream media just dismissed there being a link between Coronavirus and 5G.

    What reason did he give for doing it
    And was it a valid reason

    To anyone but him

    I did read somewhere that the who ignored what they were being told by Taiwan about person to person transmission early on because seemingly they didn't want to get offside with china
    Don't know it that's true though

    That's pretty much his reasoning, says they could have acted and controlled it at source, they didn't back his travel ban and they were complicit in the cover up.

    Whether any of that is correct now really isn't the time to stop funding for a humanitarian agency.

    I just cannot believe Trump taking funding away from WHO.
    He is thick beyond belief...with out organisations like WHO CoVid and other global pandemics will remain in little hot spots all through the world, where the health services cannot cope, just waiting to burst out again in another form.
    I realise it is just an electioneering ploy...but if he gets in again.

    Yes, I have my problems with Boris, but he is a rational human being compared to Trump. I am so thankful I am not an American
