Brilliant. Well done Eamonn Holmes.

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.
 
I would love to go to HQ again.

I would even settle for a match on QPR+

Each evening I recite the banes of the players and positions in order not to forget! We are living in a crazy time!

Meanwhile, say safe and well!
What's annoying is that Belarus still has games going on and Sky is not broadcasting them. I need my fix.
 
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
 
And in today's numbers

20 new cases
1386 cases in total
118 are healthcare workers

13 in hospital
3 in icu
728 have recovered
9 people have died

Prime Minister has taken a 20% pay cut for six months
 
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

It’ll be supported here by his core supporters too.

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
