    Gove blatantly lying about testing on national tv! Do they have no shame? Why do they feel the necessity to lie constantly? It's really not looking good for them.

    Then the slimy little **** says he can guarantee pupils and teachers will be safe, followed by the only truly way to stay safe is by being at home. Hmmm Gove nothing like contradicting yourself in the space of 2 minutes, you horrible little twat

    But don't judge Bob. There's a time for that? Not sure when but ffs don't tell it as it is now. Just waiting for the serious deflection to start. Let's play "Name that more important story/ pressing issue that needs to be resolved. I'll give you the first few. "The Brexit trade deal." "What are we going to about China?" And that good old stand by. "The Russians have reached the Channel and are ready to bomb us into oblivion and then invade" Not sure why they'd want to after they have destroyed everything but let's not worry about the detail. If everyone contributes, I'm sure we can work out the spin doctors strategies for them

    I'm diabetic, type 1 and was told I should stay locked up, sorry locked down for 14 days. I was expecting a letter saying stay in for 6 weeks, but got nothing.

    It’s just occurred to me Bob that they lie because they have a history of getting away with lying, and it’s much easier than telling the truth. Even when they are caught out in a blatant lie they know it will be forgotten about in a couple of hours, or minions will be wheeled out to make excuses or set up diversionary attacks, the media is supine and their allies smirk and think they are clever and the vast majority of us just shrug, totally disenfranchised and tired of the whole ****ing farce.

    Not only do they get away with lying they are ****ing rewarded for it. Johnson is an habitual liar, almost pathological, he lies when there is no need or benefit in lying, he has been sacked twice for it and we made him prime minister.

    My lad is getting £2.5k for his self employed COVID payment, which he reckons is about par for the course for builders of his age and experience. He is going to buy some more joinery tools with some of it, bless him. The site he is on is now fully operational again, the backlog on deliveries of materials has eased a bit, but I don’t think they are at the plastering stage yet. Get your application in?

    That BMJ article describes the level of ‘expert’ competence we are relying on terrifyingly clearly.

    Yes my application went in on friday morning. I get the maximum, which I am grateful for and a scheme I fully praise the government for (actually not fully as it took a while). Plaster hopefully, according to BG will be back on the shelves by the end of this month so full steam ahead, depending on the safety guidelines. There seems to be a way too relaxed attitude to the distancing for my liking, which has come from the top. Time will tell but I see that the public in general are losing faith in the governments actions.

    6? Good luck with that. It's supposed to be 12. I have 4 more to go. The fact I got the letter dashes any inclinations I may have had towards the 'Cull those who are likely to cost too much and for what purpose would we try to keep' em alive" theories but it is certainly a hit and miss application of 'the science' to the facts. If you 'stay alert' however ie use your own common sense that is probably a better guide to you as to what you should be doing. People I know who should have had it haven't and vice versa.

    Please accept my condolences Stick. The comfort I suppose is that at least they were together till the end. Sadly your story will not be unique or even unusual. My father in law went through a similar experience but, thankfully seems to have come out the other side. Little comfort I know but stay strong mate.

    Has Bob asked yet whether we managed to test 100,000 people today?

    Unbelievable. This twat Powis going on about how brilliant it is that there has always been space on wards and in ICU in the NHS, ‘success for us is capacity’. Now why is that? Could it be that discharging 15-30,000 patients early played a role? Leaving 12,000 to die of COVID (acknowledged) in care homes? Cancelling all routine work including in many places cancer care?

    How dense do they think we are?

    Given the number of people who lap it up and think we’ve handled the situation well it’s not a surprise.

    Many do lap it up and consider it a success so obviously there are plenty who fall into the 'dense' category.
