If they had any loving principles they would do it anyway and send the government the bill. They'd probably pay it.

E: 251 days ago Iran had allegedly seized a British oil tanker. Remember how we all though war with Iran would be the apocalypse?

See what you mean about 'reasonable price' but I guess we have to compare with other offerings in our size not what people with regular sized feet pay!
(I spent a dispiriting day going round the various 'large size ladies' shoes' shops in Chiltern St, London a couple of years ago. Hardly anything remotely affordable!)

The secretary of state for Scotland, Alister Jack, is self-isolating after developing coronavirus symptoms. He is the third cabinet member, after Boris Johnson and the health secretary, Matt Hancock, tested positive for Covid-19 yesterday, to self-isolate after experiencing symptoms. In the past 24 hours, Jack said he had developed a cough and mild temperature so was self-isolating and working from home. He has yet to be tested.

That number's going to keep growing, exponentially, for at least a week because of the long incubation period.

Rumours that one of the reasons that they're using the Excel Centre as a morgue waiting room hospital is that, being on the dock, it will make it convenient to ship out corpses for mass burial at sea, as was one of the plans for post-WW3. I don't actually believe the rumour because that's a level of foresight not previously shown in the reaction to COVID, but the fact that it's something that's even within the spectrum of possibilities is sobering to say the least.

I always wanted to be buried at sea. It seems a lot less ecologically damaging than cremation and especially embalming.

There's a very limited number of spots where you can legally do a sea burial though. Post WW3 that wouldn't have mattered because half of Liverpool and Manchester would have been joining the munitions dump at Beaufort's Dyke, but I really doubt they'll pass a law to allow thousands to be dropped off at the Needles or one of the other geographically acceptable points.

Even then, it will be months of mini outbreaks and such.
Once the all clear to go back to work is given, some will be still carriers and will infect the rest of their fellow staff.
I totally expect to get it then, our office aircon is dreadful, and if one fucker has it, all of us will get it.

It was in the Cold War exhibition at Kew, basically the minutes of a meeting discussing the impossibility of disposing of bodies in a timely manner, particularly with better uses for fuel, with the meeting resolving to investigate the logistics of either dumping bodies from factory fishing ships (which are refrigerated and have the ability to hold and move large amounts of... organic material... around internally) or just towing them out in sealed barges and scuppering them.

I *think* it was mentioned in Secret State too, I'll dig it out and check.

This is one of the things my conspiracy theorist/catastrophising brain is SUUUPER concerned about. People in this country have been LIGHTNING quick to start informing on their neighbours, making draconian interpretations of the rules to beat people with, etc etc etc.

I can see exactly the shape of how an actual non-emergency police state could take hold overnight.

Bill Bryson once joked that it was a pity that communism started in Russia rather than Britain, that our national traits of liking queues, stoicism and reveling in small luxuries would have been enough to make a success of it, but I always thought we'd be much more East Germany and this is now proving it, every fifth oval office is falling over themselves to grass up their neighbours.

We're not even really locked down. As with so many things in this country it's about as half arsed as it really can be. There are even today plenty of morons running about out there who think bad things are only going to happen to other people, like that old biddy who rang in the radio show and gleefully talked about all the activities she was packing her days with and chastising the presenter for being a big scardy puss. I was on the phone to my ma last night and she said her neighbours (both in their 70s) have been out to garden centres every day and going for walks everywhere because of the good weather and "it's lovely and quiet everywhere!" :/
