If both happen you only net a loss of £300! you need to factor in the price to repair or replace the broken door also if you're non-white or look a bit vulnerable there's a good chance the police will give you a hiding for the sheer thrill of it

TACD posted:Yea, I might well be totally wrong on this but I feel like there isn’t usually any incentive to get a test under a false name and so there’s not really a system in place to protect against it? I slightly suspect the £500 will be dished out via HMRC and using a false name will be, shall we say, "noticeable"

If only a third of the people at this 15 person party get COVID and they get raided, the "bounty" will pay off the fine for the party, replace the door and still give a nice profit.

You organize the party at the local hospital car park. That way you cant be fined, and just wander in and out of the hospital you have a easier risk of getting it. Just look out for the coughing people and sit beside them and start huffing.

The £800 fines are per head so you can't game the system that way. For that you need to have a gathering of 30 or more people which produces a £10,000 fine only for the organiser. If everyone gets Covid and the resulting payments are pooled that's £166 each after paying off the fine. It scales pretty quickly too, for a gathering of 100 it would work out at £400 each.

In other Brexit news, goods to be burnt rather than returned. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-news-latest-eu-deal-boris-johnson-b1791103.html I also saw another story this morning about a UK group that was to examine the EU trade deal being dismantled after they asked Jacob Reese Moggs for more time to do their job, but I can't find the link to it now.

That runs into two problems. 1) If there is an agreement it would then be open to the State to charge any and all participants with Conspiracy to Commit fraud charges. Which would have imprisonment and or fines that could be well above what profit you might earn. 2) Do you know how difficult it is to get people to voluntarily commit funds for something? I remember what it was like years ago trying to get friends to provide deposits for booking rooms for weekend breaks/ stag weekends. And that would be with 6-12 people. Trying to get 30 or more people to all cough up £500 would be a nightmare. Obviously the second problem is the biggest one.

Local tesco was poo poo out of oregano, no idea whether its just tesco being poo poo or if Brexit has legit buggered the supply lines for herbs and spices? Bland meals all round in any case, which is I guess fairly on brand for grey rainy fascist plague island. We're all going to be eating nothing but unseasoned plates of overcooked beef and veg boiled to mush like good EDL lads this time next year. Rule Britannia, chips now count as one of your five a day

It depends where you read 'ministers are considering.' Most of the hacks use it to mean 'a junior minister with absolutely no influence over anything floated it at a meeting, and one of my interns had to read the minutes while I had my big dinners.' Then the Mail screeches about it like it's going to happen and it's a sign of our grate nashun going to hell in a handbasket, you couldn't make it up, put my foot through the tv and sent Jeremy Corbyn the bill etc. Half the time these leaks come from idiots like Roberto Pesto who heard about a junior minister floating a policy and the policy looked at him.

It's a sign of the area where I live that whenever my local ASDA runs out of other fresh herbs (which they do quite often) they will always have coriander to replace it. Sometimes the herb section is literally just coriander. Good thing I like the stuff.
