Here you go. Just on our News. I kid you not.

A National Australia Bank employee caused a mass evacuation and a professional cleaning of his branch after going to work and telling everyone he had tested positive.

 He was not.

 He was sacked. 

Good.

I've seen a couple of reports in the UK about yobs coughing and spitting at the police - and one yesterday when some youths did the same to a 70-year old. I think, in the present circumstances. that should be viewed very seriously.

Common assault, or if you have a good prosecutor, attempted homicide.

 It is about time, worldwide.

 What? Too much?

Courts aren’t operating at the moment so these Neanderthals should be rounded up, locked up somewhere remote and, when the courts are operational again, just forget where they were put.

The rotten of society should just be left to rot!

It's already started in the Farming community - lambs, sheep, ducks, geese, chickens, etc.. being taken along with freezers being cleared and in one case whole commercial freezers being taken.

One group have been caught by a Farmer in Wiltshire - group of kids trying to catch lambs and garrote them (caught with the garrote in hand). These were taken into police custody and probably told what naughty boys they were!

Fortunately we only have cattle who are very protective of there young and have horns .

Better hope no one tries it on - if they got hurt, no doubt the law would come after you!

London, this morning

It’s not what or when the politicians say things, the people will do whatever the hell they want.

Good job Corbyn and MacDonald didn't win then as they'd be dithering even more.

Overall I think the PM and the Chancellor have been doing OK in the circumstances. I think critics often forget that their biggest challenge is usually deciding what to have for breakfast each morning. I think the scale. The dimensions. The ramifications of messaging and decision making is immense. Not an easy job made harder by all the sofa experts who have a smidgeon of the facts and data and no responsibility for the ramifications, and the numbfooks and pedants who just ignore the advice anyway.

Maybe we could cut them a bit of slack eh?

hear, hear!

Put them in a large cell with Harvey "Winestain". Job done.

No it is not it’s because they are not doing what they are told and locking down.

In the local Sainsburys yesterday , the beers wines & spirits section looked as though it was approaching Christmas.  I only looked from afar,  whole sections such as beers had empty shelves, but even wines and spirits looked depleted.

That'll be @Dan E.

In Aylesbury, my daughter just witnessed 3 lads - who'd been loitering together all morning - cuffed and taken away by the police!  Fantastic.

[PhilW]

good. Lock them up until its over.  Plus give them a good hiding every day before breakfast of bread and water.

On a seperate (but related theme) - maybe this forum will act as more of a social lifeline than ever over the next 3-4 months. Pay your £24 and be happy. (is that ok @Bibs ?)

perhaps @Bibs could offer a small 'lockdown reduction' to encourage others to contribute financially. A discount code maybe: COVID19

Ah, but many would say the PM was not absolutely clear enough on what was required....  Just read posts above this post for examples.

This is real; I have a friend in the office that released it.

Boris and his advisors been saying keep your distance ( Two Metres ) for enough time for people to know how critical this is, can not see this being adhered in the above picture, some common sense needs to prevail, sure there are people that do not need to be travelling into London, and for there own safety and more importantly the safety of the health workers who do need to travel, they need to stop.
