I wish I shared your optimism. Hopefully, it's not misplaced.

Be positive, the political meddling will be minimalised if all the party leads get ill .. remember power corrupts and the evidence from the Brexit debacle is they are all in this for themselves.
 
I wonder what Farage is making of all this.. Surely this was spread by EU migrants and seasonal fruit pickers. Now the NHS has lost a lot of European staff, there is a bit of egg on his face. But I am sure all these dont matter to him?

Also where is Priti... She was running around torching all the 'low-skilled, ''low-paid' carers. Surely now is the time we need more carers..

Priti is in isolation hoping we all forget she is a bully ... like Mogg only he has used his time to count his money, although his son has asked that he doesn’t have to stand in front of him the next time they go out in public.

Just for comedy value, we should get Mogg to do a daily briefing. Gove was omnishambles... I am assuming Mogg will be comedy gold. he would run out of the building because common sense says we should leave when the experts are asking him to stay..

on a more sobre note.. DomCom is in isolation due to Covid Symptoms. So the big question is, who is running the country?

Well you can listen to Farage this and Tues-Thursday evening at 6pm on LBC.

It’s not really about the economy.. you or me it’s about big money. They traded before it hit the fan, they then got the journos to make wide spread panic .. forcing the markets down and allowing them to pop in some of their gains back in.
They now have a substantial nest egg for Brexit and have created a bigger gap to the haves and have nots ..
Such a conspiracy theory I know but the timings have been delayed to allow all of them to profit. Why did the stock exchange carry on trading when it was evident that all values would drop with extended trading ? Why did it not self isolate to maintain value ? In the grand scheme of things the stock exchange has a minimal impact to common folk ..they are just victims of its fluctuations it’s actual existence is about making a select few rich. So if it stopped would the supermarkets be empty? No. Would existing stock prices be impacted no, you would still be getting your payouts but the fluctuation would be minimal after a brief period of non trading.. so isolating for a week or when it hits a drop rate too great will only be beneficial to the small investors not the greedy ones.
I think we have learnt that turning stuff off doesn’t stop the world turning, the greedy lose money, and the environment improves.
The greedy do become more evident in our society, some are hiding behind social empathy and others have well and truly broken cover.

Don't underestimate the effect of the stock exchange on the common folk; downsized and had a lump sum, IFA's would often advise a stocks & shares ISA; local authority pensions invest in them. Those common folk who have worked & saved to provide for themselves in their retirement and have followed financial advice have potentially taken an almighty kick in the gonads.

Yes that is true they have paid the price .. collateral damage. Seen purely as bit players by those with huge sums of money. If the stock exchange had been frozen those people would not have suffered.

Whilst I 100% agree. The time between postponing Brexit and the first w%nkspangle posting on Facebook that the Coronavirus is all one big EU plot to keep us in Europe would be best measured in milliseconds.. Oh well, at least they won't be marching together in the streets to bitch about it!

Dont want to appear to be pedantic asking but have we not already left the EU ? I just thought we were now in the post EU negotiation stage ? Or am i reading your post wrong ?
Genuine questions not stirring the pot

Scottish Westminster Minister Alistair Jack also has it, that must be a fair chunk of the cabinet now. [or are they all taking turns at having a wee rest:unsure:]
Jack, being a man of the people, decided to ignore his Government's advice and travel up from London to Dumfries to share his Covid 19 with his constituents [despite having a property in London.

Does it not depend where his primary residence is?

Yes we have left - did so on Jan 31 at 23:00!

And Yes we are in the 'post Brexit negotiation period'. It's this process that any proposed delay/extension would be abot delay.

Yes, you are correct. However I was referencing the negotiation stage, which could be extended so as to provide more focus on combating the current issues affecting the World. (y)

Wouldn’t it be nice if this just brings us a bit closer making the process more amicable.
