    Bit of luck Boris will knock any activities for next six weeks. The football authorities will finally be forced into making a decision. Pl clubs will lose their 850m from sky levelling the playing pitch for us next season <laugh>

    And everyone gets to watch their local pub team next season as there is no other football being played.

    Unfortunately the game of football as we know it will lose a huge amount if it has to be behind closed doors. It’s be better than nothing as a short term solution but hard to see it work No as a long term thing if it had to be. Just been watching a few clips of some teams that have returned to training in Europe and it looks miles away from being able to play a competitive game and they’re ahead of uk in planning

    So who understood what Boris actually said?? <doh><doh>


    My understanding

    Go to work if you can't work from home, but only if it's safe to do so.
    Who the fook is going to tell us if it's safe or not? The billionaires that own the big companies or the scientists???

    Bottom line. When the MPs & Lords ease their fat arses into the Westminster benches, then you'll know it's safe. Fcuking crappers the lot of them, hiding in safe isolation whilst us 'cannon fodder' are used as guinea pigs.

    And where is the required clarity regarding insurance cover for those being told to get back to work?

    he said it was dangerous coming down the mountain.

    So I’m cancelling next year’s ski holiday. That was my main takeaway from it.

    We called ours, we were told if we follow official government guidelines we are covered.

    Watch for The Furlough scheme news update on Tuesday. I’ve little doubt it will be cut or given a definite end date, this will force business to reopen

    Also the Health and Safety at Work Act which states that an employer has a duty of care for the physical and mental health of their employees

    YOU may be covered, but if you catch it at work and pass it on to another family member, are they covered?

    Personally, I wouldn't trust the insurance companies or government guidelines, as both have bigger cracks than Katie Price!!!

    Have a look at the law link I posted, it is all going to be down to being unable to prove where you caught it from.

    Exactly.
    With over 4 million cases worldwide, proving when and where you caught it is impossible.
