Virgin Aus just gone into administration. First big casualty.

Are you on a time delay?

Are you on a time delay?

Think Aus is running ahead of us.

£625 for volunteers if you fancy earning a few quid. Scratch that...just see maximum age is 55. Nobody here will qualify!

Built up my hope there lasterman. Thought I may make a few quid.

Porton down pay a few quid. If you want to come out looking like the singing detective

The government needs to stop dancing to the media's tune.

They're falling into every trap and not thinking things through.

Hancock and Raab don't inspire confidence at all, they look nervous and make the public nervous.

I know Thatcher wasn't very popular round here, for good reason, but we're crying out for a firm leader like that.

Don’t talk wet.

Don’t talk wet.

I think they're being wet, panicking at the slightest criticism and making knee-jerk reactions.

Buying test kits that don't work, announcing they've got PPE orders when they haven't.

The media and people on Twitter seem to be running the country, been going on for too long.

I think your easily led by the media. Doesn’t the last 4/5 years tell you that those who shout loudest don’t get their own way like they used to do.

The same 5 journo’s are asking the same old questions every day at the briefings.

One of them is that dickhead Peston.

You’ve seen the frenzy whipped on here at the slightest hint of a mistake. The press are the same.

Out of all the countries in Europe with major airport routes, only Germany have a different trajectory of deaths than us.

Lives lost due to poor procurement of PPE isn’t good but listening to struggling businessmen harp on about the government because they haven’t bought a few gowns from them is nauseating.

See the latest moan is that these temporary hospitals are empty.

Thank foook for that.

The media say "not enough testing" so they buy dodgy tests, just so they can so they're doing something.

Then "not enough PPE" so they say they're getting some from Turkey before they'd actually secured the order.

And letting PPE be exported to Germany and then importing some from Turkey is just dumb.

[howdydoo]

That’s commerce for you.
