I don't eat off my floor, lie in it or otherwise touch it much, do have no problem that I wear shoes in the house.

I wear them less than before but I don't see the point of "coming home, shoes off, dog lead on the dog, shoes on, walk dog, shoes off " or "bring in shopping bag, shoes off, put shopping in kitchen, shoes on, go get the next bag of shopping rinse repeat".

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/mar/03/boris-johnson-paternity-leave-prime-minister-carrie-symonds

quote:

Boris Johnson is to take paternity leave after the birth of his child with his partner, Carrie Symonds, in the summer.

When asked about the new arrival during a press conference on coronavirus on Tuesday, the prime minister said he was likely to take his entitlement to two weeks off.

Dominic Raab, the first secretary of state and foreign secretary, would be the next in line to be in charge during Johnson’s absence.

Sorry I thought you were a landlord when I gave you your old avatar!
Decent long article in the Graun on 10 years of austerity:

https://www.theguardian.com/society/2020/mar/03/lost-decade-hidden-story-how-austerity-broke-britain

quote:

Between 2010 and 2020, Conservative cuts destroyed the fabric of society as we know it. Speaking to people on the frontline reveals the ways our lives have been changed for ever
Polly Toynbee and David Walker

What happened in the UK between 2010 and 2020 will scar us for the rest of our lives. David Cameron’s Conservatives, only just victorious in the 2010 election, sold austerity as a necessary response to the 2008 financial crash. The exact social consequences of these cuts were spelled out last week in Michael Marmot’s report for the Institute of Health Equity: for the first time in a century, life expectancy has stopped growing and for women in poor areas actually fallen.

Mate, if I "had mine" I'd be less worried. And I'd be entirely happy for everyone in the UK to have the option to get out, but they loving don't because racist idiots and psychopathic disaster capitalists put us in the position where we actually need that option. There comes a point in every conflagration where you have to forget about putting it out and save what can be saved. The UK reached that point on February 1st.

Coronavirus: Student from Singapore hurt in Oxford Street attack

quote:

A student from Singapore has said he was beaten up by a group of men who told him: "I don't want your coronavirus in my country."

Jonathan Mok, 23, said he was walking down Oxford Street last Monday when he heard shouts of "coronavirus".

When he confronted the four men, he said, they launched a surprise attack that left him badly hurt.

The Met Police said it was treating the attack as "racially aggravated". No arrests have been made.

University College London student Mr Mok, who included pictures of his injuries in a widely shared Facebook post, said he was attacked at about 21:15 GMT near to Tottenham Court Road station.

Describing the attack, he wrote: "All of a sudden, the first punch was swung at my face and took me by surprise."

Mr Mok said his face was "exploding with blood" from the attack, which left him in "daze and shock".

He said the coronavirus outbreak has been used by some as an excuse to "further hatred for people different from them".

"I just think it's a pity to have such experiences taint the image of this beautiful city with so many nice people," Mr Mok added.

Up to a fifth of the workforce may be off sick during the peak of a coronavirus epidemic in the UK, the government has said in its latest plans.

Good to see us brits are being as sensible as ever.

I'm genuinely worried for the sizable number of Chinese (and Asian in general, because yes racism) students in Britain, and in particular the significant number who don't speak particularly great English and can't effectively communicate particularly under duress. They don't deserve the inevitable poo poo that's going to be flung at them as a result of the coronavirus stuff. Even outside of that, the reception we give them as a nation is loving embarrassing when compared to how westerners are treated over there in general.

Other countries that don’t have a majority of socialists: Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland.
