they could have been going to the shops to be fair, the hour for the elderly to shop is first thing in the morning isn’t it? Surely they are simply being good citizens
As I was at 6:45am this morning
!!Get out my way....
😂😂
Stay strong pal ✊
anyone who has premises with a rateable value of under 12k and gets 100% business rates relief, Blackburn with Darwen Council have all our details and are writing to us next week, payment details have yet to be confirmed but in April.
If you own premises but let them out it's the renter who gets the grant, anyone with empty premises get nought.
When there are so many people doing so much for so many people, this sort of stuff reminds me that despite everything, there are some utter scumbags out and about. It's like the tyre slashing, food theft etc etc which is being reported. Thankfully, it's a tiny minority who are absolutely feral

totally, and utterly, making my fucking blood boil all this.

Mon/Wed/Fri.....lazy buggers were all heading out at 8.45 on a Tuesday..... <insert faux outrage here>
mine too. In some parts of London NHS staff are being abused by being told not to bring their germ carrying bodies into the shops. One midwife my daughter in law knows left the queue and went home heartbroken. just how selfish can people get.
Best wishes for a successful outcome, Mick.

PETER HITCHENS: Is shutting down Britain REALLY the right answer?
PETER HITCHENS: Here I am, asking bluntly - is the closedown of the country the right answer to the coronavirus? If we have this wrong we have a great deal to lose.www.dailymail.co.uk
Hitchens challenges the shut down.
I admit to having growing concerns about this course.
During the blitz thousands of people died everyday but nobody suggested the entire economy should be shut down because of it, on the contrary strenuous efforts were made to keep life as normal as possible in dire circumstances.
Are we in danger of making a bad situation worse ? Would previous generations have wanted their children and their children's children's reduced to poverty. Personally I doubt it.
Are TV pundits to be sent home ?
Good read , dammed if you do dammed if you don't , but it's always good to see extreme opionions , never close the debate.
Personally we have to try for the sake of the nhs and vulnerable , but will the legislation be reversed , will it ever be used again. Yet again we are living history and only time will tell.

If I ever witness this I won't be able to hold back !
And once you’ve finished beating the crap out of them they’ll expect the nhs staff they’ve abused to help them...and they probably would!
Unfortunately Joan this situation is showing the best and worst aspects of people.
As my mum used to say ‘nowt so queer as folks’ 🤔☹️

Sorry to hear this Mick. It must be a very worrying time for you both. Hope everything works out well for you and you are both fully fit again soon. Take care
I was just thinking that people in every country in the world have the same fears and concerns about the threat of this virus.
And for all the complaining people are doing about how this has been handled, I just feel incredibly fortunate to be here in the UK , can’t be many places better suited for dealing with this, horrendous potential for disaster in Iran, Pakistan and even the “have not” population of the good old US of A.
Obviously there are many people struggling here too in many ways, I have just got some supplies to a single mum who’s Universal Credit payment hasn’t been made and who has been trying since Monday morning to get through with no success . We just need to try and do what we can but it’s not easy when self isolating.
I’m a really positive person but I had a bit of a mental wobble yesterday evening, it’s the unknown I think .
