Yeah I mean he won't undermine Starmer because that's his jam but he's got millions of followers who will stick with him so imagine all the anti-war, pro-socialist groups and speakers who he can and will amplify to the loving stratosphere giving his reach.

Losing the leadership sucks and we should acknowledge that but drat if we don't have more weapons, people and attitude in our arsenal than we have in years. Now is the time to cut lose and enjoy ourselves in our rhetoric.

Yeah the public execution of the CumDom would be entertaining, but there's a real danger that would allow the Tories to just blame everything on him and escape the disaster realtively politically unscathed. They need to own this and pay the price.

The thing about this, though, is that most of the worst aspects of the UK's COVID-19 response are yet to really hit home. We have a healthcare system with high efficiency but low capacity, and a badly shredded social safety net. As soon as the rent freeze ends or the health issues we've been ignoring because of COVID-19 start piling up to a critical mass, poo poo is going to get extremely real.

Eh, rent deferral, whatever. People aren't paying rent right now, but their debts are building, and they're going to get a huge bill in three months while we're still on lockdown.

We don't have a rent deferral either, do we? Just a slightly longer eviction process. Landlords can get relief from their mortgage payments though.

Do any "routine tests" normally require an overnight stay (and being moved late on a Sunday night)? I'd have thought - even with the kind of definitely-not-NHS hospital he'd be going to - that they'd not want him to actually spend any more time than he needed to in hospital, especially with the PR angle, so unless someone can tell me that there is actually a legit reason to do this that we're definitely not getting the whole story.

No, it's bullshit. Nobody gets kept in "for tests", you either get kept in for treatment or for observation.

Even if he needed a CT scan, which is the most complex test I can think of that might be useful for coronavirus, with his position they'd be a radiologist waiting to read the result as soon as he came off the scanner. If he's in hospital they're worried about him.

There's a mortgage payment holiday (which AFAIK still has to be paid back by the borrower) but no official rent freeze. There's a 3 month moratorium on evictions, which is probably what you were thinking of?

Time passes quickly on the weekend.

There's no rent deferral either. Landlords are under no obligation to reduce or forgive any rent debt over this whole period.

The only thing that has changed is that a section 21 eviction is now 3 months as opposed to 2. That's it.

One thing though, is that landlords are not entitled to any of the self employed payments that the government recently announced as property is seen as investment and not regular self employed work.

It's poo poo. I keep thinking I have a tight chest, and a few days ago I had some weird little dizzy spells, and every time it's like 'oh gently caress here we go, it begins' but then I get some sleep, wake up feeling fine, and as the day wears on it happens again, over and over.

But if I get really into a game or book or something, I don't feel the symptoms at all, so I know it has to be all in my mind, but once I get pulled away from the distractions by family or chores or whatever, there's the tight chested feeling again and arrrrgh

I watched Contagion 3 weeks ago and my thoughts were 'Well I'm glad the CFR is 10x times larger than what's happening now' so lol if you took any other messages from it because otherwise it's a perfect representation of what's going on.
