I have been waiting to hear how the EPL players were going to accept a cut - as some other big teams have - but the air is clear with overpaid professionals counting their money in their expensive homes. Meanwhile boardrooms are apparently cutting non-playing staff wages.. nothing short of disgraceful.
There isn’t one EPL footballer who couldn’t afford to take a 3-month reduction; support club staff and maybe donate to charities that will help the less fortunate should they feel inclined. Oh well ... off to clean the Bentley, then down to the cinema room and watch a movie with a nice bottle of wine or champagne it is for them then. Why am I not so surprised?

What has the championship done
 
Depressed now. Just took my allotted exercise period walking around the town centre. We are fortunate to have many independent shops and restaurants as well as the usual chains. Of course with the pubs and restaurants closed it was nearly completely deserted, only the pizza places (delivery only of course) open.

Really struck me how many people work in these shops and places where people eat and drink, and how many of them will have been laid off, and how many of the companies might never open their doors again, they work on very slim margins and not trading for a few weeks will see a lot of them off. Some have already cleared all their stock out by the look of it.

It’s deeply unfair that individuals bear the brunt of a government policy that they had no say over, and are forced to go through bureaucratic processes and wait weeks before they get any support, when all they want to do is support themselves.

Agree wholeheartedly. It’s an absurd situation and it’s not just the lost jobs and failing businesses, there will be additional business and personal debt that will hurt people badly. It’s time for bbc radio London to stop asking which books people are reading and how they’re managing to cut their hair and start asking questions about how the future looks for us and our kids.

Listening to a phone in the other night, they were more than happy to deal with the nonsense mentioned above, but as soon as someone called and asked about economics, he was told not to fear monger and cut off.

I can not believe someone has done this to our [HASHTAG]#NHS[/HASHTAG] workers while parked @ James Cook Hospital.. I need to know who these cars belong to and I’ll pay for all 3 to be repaired and give each nurse a weeks food free. [HASHTAG]#HelpTheNHS[/HASHTAG][HASHTAG]#mikehindfitness[/HASHTAG]
