were removed this morning. Interesting bit of analysis ... somebody re-invents themselves on the 18th March and has posted 176 times, yet only 120 remain. 56 posts removed over a 7 week period. One for all to retain in the memory bank, given what was happening - left, right and centre (pardon the pun)- in 2019, on this particular forum.

Remember when you were a tot and your dad taught you how to play hangman? Noughts and crosses? Drafts? Then when you were a teen and he said "give em enough rope."

Just a little observation.

Antony901, as a left wing remainer and employer of immigrant labour (if my memory serves me right), is it not the case that you would always believe a conservative government is full of clowns?

Theosus, The Systemic Risk Council in addressing the G20 Finance Ministers https://www.systemicriskcouncil.org/2020/03/src-statement-on-financial-system-actions-for-covid-19/
not a useless government, in managing a situation, that required management from the top down.

to see how long it would take for this blunder to be made known

wouldn't normally glance the sun, yet today they are the one bringing it to the fore
The blunder - heaven knows the costs associated with? algorithm?- is only scratching the surface, again. I learned 10 days ago from the recipients of letters, in relation to shielding, that the NHS were sending out letters to the wrong people. What next?

never mind dcb, you're allowed out again as darkness descends ...

Binary, remember? In/out, deal/no deal. The latter was how I always thought it would conclude.

un monton de queso en la nevera para aplacar a los ratones en este mundo

dcb, you're the one acting like a child having a tantrum - these past nearly 4 years. A real man would shake hands and give it up ... I rest my case.

fleecy, it wouldn't be a headline for them all, if they reported the true story, would it? Same as the impairment charges provision isn't an actual (true cost)... it's a provision.

Vanilla, bet you're more than happy with this choice after putting your f it head on, a few weeks ago. Long way to go yet, so whatever your strategy in moving out of your comfort zone, I hope that you achieve all that you wish for.

To be fair Darth, seeking out the positives in the face of adversity is a far better approach than simply dwelling on the negatives, for the most part.

Darth, you read like your sole focus is on all that is negative. Do you have nothing positive to enlighten us with?

jl5006, many business owners (hotels/restaurants etc) on the coast are cautiously optimistic. They are questioning the viability of operating at a very much reduced capacity, in compliance with the imposed restrictions, in the near term (initial phases of opening up). Having already incurred huge losses and knowing what they need to break even, the biggie is, "can they achieve b/e or can they afford to incur further loss, if not?" Eager to open and comply fully on the one hand, in fear of further losses on the other. Lots of talk and optimism for July onwards. If the flights and airports can get their bit sorted first, the optimism will increase. Also there are lots (around 37) towns and villages in the province that are covid free. More than half of the cases recorded to date are in Malaga city. Yes, it's wait and see, with plenty of optimism. Marbella is being very pro-active. The testing initiatives being undertaken by the town hall and business people is inspiring. i.e. there are currently 4,000 people, in businesses that have been allowed to stay open the whole while, being tested by the town hall. Business people have already funded the testing of folk in the care homes. A lot of private enterprise is stepping up to the plate, lots of positive and inspiring stuff going on, up and down the coast and inland.

where are you coming from shouting your right wing press? Don't need any press, left or right wing to tell you owt these days as you can get all you need from ground level, and then check out what you are hearing. We do "real" in yorkshire - Eric Arthur Blair told that to all, many moons ago.

Annoyed James, you are only scratching the surface. There's a whole lot more going on out there in both the community and the hospital settings, that many would not be aware of/may not be relevant to many. Just one simple example: Special Leave nhs directive brought in, in April - to be implemented until June - in one particular trust ... the staff/managers whose responsibility it is to apply and comply with the same, are failing badly on many fronts. Such matters would never form a part of daily briefings, as it is not for the government to implement, it is for those who wear the hats and command the commensurate salaries to do what they are paid to do. As you say, and as I've been telling those out there dealing with this situation - it will all come out in the wash. The PPE issue has been at the fore since early March, it's May tomorrow. As for the rest of it, well ...

half-way or even more than half-way towards Myles's 2.40 today, that'll do for me

Good to read that Bournemouth Airport is being pro-active, hopefully all the other airport bosses will follow suit. If the Transport Secretarys comment really was "under review" and PHE have nothing to bring to the table, then it is for private enterprise to step up to the plate - with screening and testing initiatives. Guided by common sense rather than the re-actionary(too little, too late) - as is being continually demonstrated, inadequate measures - "guided by the science" government stance? I'll take the pro-active, common sense route. So much opportunity for WSG out there...

LY, based on your own admission/s, you aren't into a capitalist society so what are you doing living in the UK? China and the CCP is where you belong in reality - see how you get on there eh?

If you're any sort of example of what the universities are churning out this century, then heaven help us. You keep spouting your nonsense and spamming your muddled up thinking across these forums, as you are clearly failing to connect in the real world - you certainly don't connect on these forums. You've stated that you graduated in 2007, so unless you were a mature student you are in your 30"s. I'd be very disappointed if my son or the 3rd year students (4 year business degree) that I invested my time and energy in, historically and for many many years, now wasted their time, in the way that you do. I'd be even more disappointed if those that I coach/mentor/support became as muddled as you are in the future. So while all of your generation that I have been/am involved with are out there, making it, making it happen, achieving and doing their best/utmost for their families and their employees, there's little you, playing at something or other ... You get out of life, what you put in and you don't take without giving. Would you like to tell us all what you have managed to do, to date, based on those principles? I'm all ears. You asked a question on another board what a poster intends spending their profits on. Here's one for you. When the antigen tests are proven and on the market, I intend using my profit from that investment in bulk purchasing and distributing the tests to all that I am able to, as I believe that is the way forward. Ball in your court. Won't hold my breath as you continually demonstrate your failure to connect.

could have stepped in and fixed the price/s like Spain did. Disposable masks are fixed at 96 cents. Hand sanitiser prices are also fixed.
