O/T Heroes and Villains

[Ram59]

Surprisingly, it seems that it come from the Times. The usual originating from 'sources' job. Then the news is that they've backtracked on something that wasn't a fact in the first place.

It's like listening to what goes on at Derby, according to 'sources'.

Trouble is, because it's in the papers or on the Internet, we take it as gospel and start slagging companies and people off.

I actually agree with RA, they shouldn't be doing that at all.
Money to pay the running costs etc, then of course but not profit.

I would like to slag these foreign owners off, but I'd only get called xenophobic or a little Englander.

The point is Tricky, Excel are paying for the running costs as well, so there's no need to slag them off.

This also might be fake news etc but have seen that Japan have got/close to getting a covid vaccine (based on an existing TB one) which they plan to make available globally for free. I suspect that means give everyone the formulation, rather than make it for everyone!

I heard it on the BBC this morning, Ram...Googled it and found it reported by the Telegraph and the Times.

Tbf it would seem you’re right...BBC now reporting that the owners have performed a ‘U turn’...as you suggest.

Good on them if that’s the case...never appreciated the power of FootyMad!...and good on Mrs. F’s company too.

My company is giving free advice to businesses in regard to the financing etc on offer to get through and survive. Can I be a hero please?

[AdiSalisbury]

Rooney and Linekar are heroes. Standing up for their colleagues... Except the ones on minimum wage of course, they should definitely take cuts and redundancy to help maintain Rooney on the breadline

Now we've got the Chief medical officer in Scotland doing as she pleases.

I could maybe understand her visiting her second home once, alone, to check if everything was OK, but to go 2 weekends running and take the family as well, is disgusting imo.

Her position should be untenable. Sturgeon values her advice, surely she just passes on information given to her. Would you be happy to follow what this person tells you to do?

Very true...disgraceful on Calderwood’s part.

Must admit...I’m puzzled by the deafening silence from Patel - she is Home Secretary after all - and Johnson seems to have disappeared too.
Sticks his head out of the door/above the parapet when there’s some clapping going on but otherwise...is he ‘proper poorly’ or just hiding again?

on the football front, Colleymore and Carracher have gone crackers at LFC, over suspending staff, to claim money off the government.

So these footballers, on all their monstrous pay, won't drop a bean. Yet the tax payer has to subsidise the working plebs.
It isn't just them either.

Burnley are claiming they will go bust in August, if games don't resume.
The monster of over paid footballers has really raised its head now. Maybe a revolution is coming?

Sounds like he's 'proper poorly'. He's been admitted to hospital, supposedly for checks.
