Really surprised no one has mentioned his comments on maddeliane mccann in relation to the 'Black lives matter' protests. Should have been immediately arrested for incitement imo.

Media now focused on Government should have better protected BAME community. FFS influence their genetics and influence their genes. I absolutely give up. It's very sad, but even after you have removed all other variables, there is something much deeper that is driving this disproportionate effect.

You did not read my post correctly. What happened to him was horrific and inexcusable, as was what he had historically carried out. What happened before the event, during the event and after the event leaves me concerned for mankind today.

Violent criminal past. Does not in any way condone what happened to him, but for me sadly just goes to show how fucked up the world is before and after. God help us.

Rolls-Royce Derby. Heartbreaking. 9,000 direct jobs. 36,000 associated supply chain jobs, plus ancillary support organisations. Could be as many as 50,000 people's livelyhoods destroyed.

Unbelievable. Contradictory twats. Same news clip covered a young girl with her family, swigging from a can of lager, sat on the beach.... Quote 'I think its too early to be all out socialising, I think there is going to be a second spike'. You really, really could not make it up, but...

Not posted for a good number of days days as my life is currently dominated by Google Hangout and Microsoft Team meetings. Just finished with my American owners, trying to explain the new furlough announcements. If I am honest I am starting to get really down, and I am normally so pragmatic and...

k7 Possibly the best posting the whole thread.

Good on you John for being so honest in your appraisal. You are spot on. The individual impacts are heartbreaking, but in reality, the longer term impacts could be 20 times more heartbreaking. We need a lot more people like you to stop taking in the media hysteria, step back, think through, and...

All. Look at the statistics more closely. Alarming overall death rate, but analyse the % death rate of over 70 years of age versus the rest. Then factor in the BAME disproportionate death rate. Its very, very very sad but I watched a local news clop the other night at a care home. 4 very elderly...

Stressful day, with a huge amount of my staff furloughed, and when that ends, not sure of next steps. City have always been my release (45 years supporter, and ex Maine Road attendee for more than 28 years). But right now (and I apologise if it offends some): 1. Chronically worried about the...

Agreed, and I think that might be slightly optimistic. Can you imagine being in an enclosed cinema even with social distancing, with recirculated air for 3 hours, never mind touching distance and queuing at a 50,000 attended football match.

They are going to have to play behind closed doors, or at least with less than 50% or more attendance for the foreseeable future, as unless I am living in a different universe putting food on a plate for most people is going to be a struggle, never mind a day out at the football.

Blimey. Been a member for more years than I care to remember, and never new there was an angling thread. Been fishing all my life, and first went to Ireland in 1979! Don't get out as much these days due to work and family pressures. Question to all.. I have a 7 night fishing holiday booked...

28 years on the Kippax. Loved the place. Only been to the Etihad about 20 times in total, too far away and easy TV viewing these days. Not sure what's the matter with me, probably concern about the impacts of the economic downturn on everybody, but I really am not arsed about when (if ever)I...

Wow. That's some document. Especially the impacts summary. Only thought is how does a Government prepare for something like that, without leaks, sparking mass hysteria. I guess it's a choice of the lesser evil. Stay safe mate.

Apportioning blame is not going to solve anything. I have worked in global procurement in the past. A simple analogy that may (or may not put some perspective on this). Sadly I am a smoker, which dependant upon recent research may be a good thing. I go to my local shop, less frequently obviously...

Absolutely spot on. Plus murders within own family groups, that we have already seen evidence of. Evictions will be off the chart, as sadly private landlords will have no sympathy and major mortgage companies have already stated they can't support non payments beyond June. I have a close friend...

My local hospital have just published official death figures related to Covid. We have seen 44 directly related deaths in the last 6 weeks. This is roughly 1 per day. The hospital serves an immediate and local radius population of around 500,000. I am not sure why (maybe lower BAME population or...
