most people. I suspect the money has run out, so it will be get back to work, because the furlough scheme is about to come to and end very shortly. Doesn`t seem a lot of planning has gone into this. Why am I surprised?
Get back to work, but don`t use Public Transport. Honestly most people that work in London and I suspect other cities, and it amounts to millions, have to travel to work by public transport. Who comes up with these ideas?
No mention of sport starting at all, so I suspect we can forget about that this Summer. Pubs, hotels, hospitality trade probably as well won`t be opening up anytime soon.
As per usual with this Government, lots of soundbites, but absolutely no real plan. I suspect they don`t have one, and will just make it up as they go along.
Whose happy about returning to work, and who is not? Are there enough safety measures being put in place at your workplace, or will it just be go back, and hope for the best?
I myself shall continue to follow my own rules, and mainly stay indoors, at least for a few more weeks yet, other than the odd 20 minute bit of exercise, early morning.
Best of luck fellas (ladies, are their any on the board?), whatever you do to earn a crust, stay safe.
So it`s back to work this week for

Most of what's required is common sense, but not a lot of that about in general.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Exactly
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So if you are not getting paid, and you have to go to work, and you are told not to use public transport. HTF are you going to get to work? Commonsense is only part of the problem, the Government need to come up with a proper plan.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You dont go, its common sense
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So you don't have any way of earning money then. The Government are not going to be paying you for evermore if you are not going to work.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
well is it better to die?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not much of a choice then the Government are giving you. Either go to work and a chance of dying or stay at home and starve to death.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What the fack has this got to do with the government giving you a choice, we are in the midst of a pandemic, if you use your commonsense and stay home unless you have too, we will get through this, not sure Sir *ueer Starmer could do anything different

Football starting tothat “tainted” season is restarting just like I knew it would.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
And? It will still be tainted whatever happens, I don`t get your point.
There is very little to be so chipper about with regard to football, who really cares about the potential restart of a competition that is now about as insignificant as it gets, and one that is being driven solely by broadcasters.
Lets all change the rules part way through a season and carry on as if nothing has happened, absolute nonsense.

I get your a Tory Boy, Danny, and they can do no wrong in your eyes, but the Government have been next to useless since the Pandemic started, I have been using my commonsense throughout. Listening to this Government is absolutely the last thing anybody should be doing.

So you wouldn’t care then billy if Liverpool get handed the title then yeh ? Or the current top 4 get the placings as it stands ? You don’t care about the football and feel the virus is far more important, so why are you bothered about the season now or where it’s heading ? Like I say, massive agenda

Fed up of the UK being compared to other countries.
We have a higher population density and a higher population than a lot of European countries so it’s easier to spread , also our health system has done really well compared to say Italy where they were on the floors or left at home to die etc as they couldn’t cope.
Also they suspect the UK was ground zero for the coronavirus in Europe and not Italy cos of us being a travel hub for planes, same reason America is suffering badly.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Whilst large parts of Europe were in lockdown, we still had mass gatherings all over the country.
The PM also boasted of shaking covid19 patient's hands whilst visiting a hospital (against formal government advice).
While I agree comparing us with mainland Europe is not always helpful, the UK is an island, which could and should have implemented safeguarding measures much much sooner.
Especially when everyone could see what was developing right on our doorstep.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yep.

They're getting their excuses in early. Putting out a demonstrably and purposefully ambiguous message, gaslighting the media and public with constant "It's common sense" soundbites they can refer back to later, and then when a second spike occurs due to the mixed messaging, they can say it's not their fault people couldn't simply follow their "common sense" message.
Straight out of the Dominic Cummings playbook, to be fair. It's appalling but it's also so, so predictable.

Exactly the sort of expenditure that Tories usually criticise the left for wanting.
Don't get me wrong, I'm benefitting from the JRS at the minute and it's been a huge help, but who knows what kind of mess we'll be in when COVID is finally under control and we have to actually pay off the tab.
