Whether that story is a joke or not, the incoming government had different options as to how to address it.

They chose the one that screwed our public services. Time to accept reality.

Which public services did they screw?

Its clear Eddie that you want to look at the decade since the tories took office. That's great! I'll just remind you of what happened when the coalition government took over the shambles left by the Gordon Brown Labour government- It is a convention for outgoing ministers to leave a note for their ...

One little sentence he slipped in,which should send a shiver down the spine of every front line worker. 'Checks are being done, to see whether they caught the virus on duty or elsewhere'. These are the hospital staff who have died,whilst helping others and for some time,without protection. If deeme...

I am often accused of being in the 'bleeding hearts and artists' category but I cannot see why army personnel cannot be used in areas which would only require minor re-training. Putting unarmed army personnel under civilian police control essentially makes them policemen. Don't give them the powers...

There will be long term repercussions. Some clubs with backers will just carry on. Some clubs that try to run to a business model will be weakened. It could make the latter less attractive to a player but there are so many clubs with backers. Agents need squeezing out of the game. People are dying,...

I’ve seen a huge increase in people out and about in the last 3 days. Yesterday, i was on a late turn, and we had at least 30-40 calls to house parties, gatherings in parks, and groups of people blatantly disregarding the lockdown. We didn’t have officers to send to any of them. Domestic Violence a...

I’ve heard from different people that The Burnley MP (or his office) have been working really well, especially on assistance with repatriation. They all will be. If they were publicising all they are doing, they’d be accused of taking advantage of the situation for political gain. If they don’t, th...

This thread :lol: :lol: :lol: I’ve read it all now!! MP’s able to reclaim expenses incurred for setting up their staff with home working arrangements! What a shocker! Burn down the Houses of Parliament. Not as good as today’s Daily Mail front page, mind. “Minister travels home from work to be with h...

Brilliant news. Delighted.

Had a bad feeling about it, so very pleased to be proved wrong!

Ludicrous.

Handball should either be your hand, or your full arm. This will just lead to players using their upper arm/shoulder to block the ball.

They've been playing it down all along though, they're clearly telling porkies now. You don't go into intensive care as a precaution.

Sends a bad message if he’s taking an ICU bed as a precaution. Can’t help but feel there’s more to it.

He's in a London Hospital they will not name, does anyone know if it's NHS care? I'd be surprised if the PM did not receive private medical treatment.

NHS hospital near Westminster, apparently. St Thomas’ I think I read earlier?

Gutted.

Really worried about this.

Today’s media conference was embarrassing for the journalists. 4 of the egotistical tits managed to ask the same question in a slightly different way and got exactly the same answer. The government should bring in Sir Alex Ferguson to stand on one of the podiums and control the media - he can adopt...

Should be given transfer bans the ones furloughing staff..

Good point, this.

If they can’t afford to pay their staff for a few months, they shouldn’t be maligning multi-million £ signings in the summer!

I love the queen and thought it was an excellent address.

Not really sure how you can criticise a 93 year old lady for making a speech in this situation, or the tradition of the monarchy that plays a part in making our country great.

In a brave, decisive and revolutionary move, the Labour party has elected a male, white, middle class, privately educated Knight of the Realm as Leader. The previous Leader's Constituency of Islington North is right next to Holborn & St.Pancras .... More seriously, we now have a mainstream Centre-l...

which is perfectly fine - though curious if it is the content or posting style, the subject in general or just the general pervasiveness of big money and greed No it’s more pervasiveness (great word) of greed and generally our sport being controlled by foreign money and debt.

One of only 2 clubs in the Premier League (Man United the other) that hasn't hawked this seasons TV rights to banks for cash flow - Imagine Villa, Bournemouth, Norwich, Brighton, West Ham, Newcastle, Palace all owing the banks £20 - £60m on this seasons TV income and not finishing the season Posted...

No way can they afford to miss a full season - the losses then would be devastating, particularly for a club like ours who have no benefactor. We know, now, that in normal circumstances we had our place in the Premier League for 2020/21 and we can't afford to lose that money. I am a bit baffled wit...

NewClaret

Quite staggering.

Surely the season will finish behind closed doors though?

Players return to training but take sensible precautions (other people are working and doing the same), travel to matches individually, etc.

NewClaret

So the Labour membership are keen to be electable? Who knew?

NewClaret

The big worry here is the yet to come effect of Covid 19. We obviously don't have any reserves and yet we are still paying wages during the shutdown. The big clubs will just ask their backers for more money and will probably get it, whereas Burnley don't have anyone like that. I think a lot of hard...

He wears child sized shin pads, which is regulation, he isn't doing anything wrong.

Ludicrous. Could seriously injure himself.

Although to be fair those lower limbs look pretty sturdy. Still think he should cover them up though.

Feel the attendances have been disappointing this season, given league position.

Question: if kids for a quid applied to all league games, what difference would it make to attendances? You’ve got to imagine we’d be able to pull in 25k regularly if kids were a quid?

We might not see football again for 6 months. I reckon by then JBG will be touch and go. Bigger point, now I think of it, is that Spurs will have Kane & Son back. Not good for us, competing with them. Hard to see how this enforced break during an excellent run, when we had very few injuries, will w...

Yeah, don't forget three men leading the UK’s response to the pandemic – Johnson, Hancock and Whitty – must now do so from quarantine because they've contracted it themselves by not taking it seriously enough.

Don't forget the inconsistent and confusing messages and the fact that the delay has cost lives. I think my favourite part about this so-called brilliant leader was when he told everybody to (maybe) stay out of the pub and his own dad then went on telly to contradict him.

17,230 beds have been cut from the 144,455 that existed in April-June 2010, the period when the coalition Conservative/Liberal Democrat government took office and imposed a nine-year funding squeeze on the NHS. The 127,225 figure is the smallest number of beds available in acute hospitals, maternit...

The hospitals are quieter than normal in some units. People aren’t going in when they have other illnesses, for fear of catching coronavirus. My daughter had a patient die today, but if he had gone into hospital on Monday when the pains started, he most likely would have had a good outcome. His dea...

Agreed. DWP, HMRC, the lot of them. Massive respect.

This week has been my busiest I can remember (sorting through all this), but imagine they are pulling some all-nighters, for which the nation should be very grateful.

It's not going to restart. What’s strange about this is how public opinion has/is changing so quickly. If you’d said that two weeks ago, I’d have said you were mad, but with so many other major sporting events getting cancelled now, I think there would be more acceptance about a full cancellation.

I was really enjoying this season. Mid table, pushing for Europe, in good form, tickets for City away.

Curious as to what other...
