As the government seems to have found the magic money tree, offering £20/hour to get the harvest in seems like something easily doable.

Just kidding, they're going to make it a requirement for people to get their UC forget to do anything about it then spin the famine.

They make the squaddies do dumb poo poo to weed out the ones who question authority or who want to make things easier for themselves. When poo poo hits the fan they want only people who will give 110% to completing their instructions, not people who will flinch or waste time philosophising. If you want to do that in the military you should join the navy.

Why would it do that!?
Yeah my nephew spent shifts moving boxes from one room to the other when he was in the army. But then also got £40,000 to be made redundant when they were actively taking on new recruits, so I think we know who's winning.

It was most likely the TV crew going 'hey lads lets see you do some unloading for the punters to have a gawk at' and just started filming them not giving enough time to organize where poo poo was to be moved to.

Maybe. Presumably there's an original in better quality that makes that a bit more obvious.

Completely anecdotal observation: been out for a run every day since quarantine started. People have been pretty good until tonight, when there was probably 3x as many people out, and most pretence of distancing was abandoned. Noticeably more traffic on the road too.

20c and sunny at the weekend is going to break people.

I noticed the same thing, both number of people walking along the river bank and cars on the road.

The UK death rate is the equivalent of two big plane crashes every day but has nothing like the same presence in people's minds. I think we're going to get another Boris Bollocking as soon as he's well enough not to cough blood on the camera. Partly to remind people it's still real and the partly to deflect news coverage that's turning a bit unsympathetic.

The spiking death rates now are the infections from the last few days before lockdown. It should turn a corner by the weekend but if everyone decides to go out on Sunday we'll just get another uptick in two weeks time.

It could conceivable be both, as it is the rear side, and the 50c coin is a copper/nickel alloy.

Lipstick Apathy
Thanks to my compromised immune system, I've got to experience what it's like to be a boomer in the last 2 weeks since my interests are lumped in with there's. It's intoxicating.

I get to sit at home all day, whinging about insignificant things, whilst society moves heaven and earth to keep me safe, alive, happy, and well fed (not saying it's perfect but consider what the death toll might be for this if we did nothing vs. say food poverty/austerity among constituents the government doesn't value).

It's totally by accident, but it's nice to feel like a 'valued member of society' for a change.
