Kite - not too much chance of that, but even if some did it would help :)

The info seems to be released to local press but running a day or two behind.

Now's the time for all those billionaires, who've benefitted from the Govt turning a blind eye to some dubious tax arrangements, to show a bit of compassion

Talking of cunts did billionaire Branson do the right think or is he still leaving staff with no wage for 8 weeks....

Tim Martin has always been a c**t but people will always drink at his Pubs

Slow - I would be surprised if your friend had direct access to mortality data. Other Trusts are not releasing this to staff for many obvious reasons. Instead it is being collated centrally. Of course people get a general sense of what is happening but few have access to the specifics.

That article lists 13 trusts with 50% of the deaths but only total 130, that would make total deaths 260. Aren't we up near 350 altogether?

RS - they won’t :(

Doc - I'm not sure whether I believe what I hear from friends on the ground or what I read online or hear from official sources. There seems to be some discrepancy between what's being reported and what's actually happening.

Was just about to post that story A4E. I hope, REALLY HOPE, that once this is over everyone remembers what a cunt tim martin is and bankrupts the wanker.

Sainsbury's have shat on long serving employees in the last couple of years but they're doing all they can and more. If people want to self isolate but have no underlying reason to they're paying 2 weeks contracted base pay. Anyone with underlying health issues get the full 12 weeks base pay. All staff who have worked in the current 4 week pay period will get an extra 10% on hours actually worked.

wetherspoons beer festival starts tomorrow.

When this is all over and we are playing at NPL I’ll be boycotting the Wimbledon Wetherspoons and giving my custom to The Alex. Great community work from the team at the Alex, whereas Tim Martin is a profiteering scumbag. I’ll be happy to sacrifice a few quid knowing that I’m giving my money to good people.

Shapps said much the same about tube travel yesterday, and he’s the Secretary of State, so he probably has greater sway in that regard. They can’t increase the number of trains apparently because of staff absenteeism due to illness, self isolating, and those caring for others. Hardly ideal it “would” be safer on the tube if lots of those travelling who don’t need to actually stuck to the rules and guidance.

Tim Worzel-Gummidge Martin - such a nice guy to work for.... 🙁 [Link]

There’s a lot of friends of friends stuff circulating, including in the medical profession.

The latest mortality data by hospital Trust I am aware of is here, with the maximum 15 deaths. [Link]

thought sadiq khan said tube was safe to travel about 10 days back(prick).seeing as Sutton had 24 cases(not deaths)find it hard to believe 21 have died at Epsom hospital?although I know most in Epsom ewell are 70+

Good to see the essential work of building an art gallery (unwanted by 95% of the population) on the quay here proceeding apace this morning, with the blokes milling around for a fag and a chat

No wonder London is worst hit when you see those pictures of tube trains and platforms. I wouldn't go anywhere near the place.

Friend at Epsom hospital said 21 dead already and they are operating near capacity.

The other option is to leave all the non-essential workers on the tube for 14 days. Leave the tube trains at the depot and deliver food and water.

Army snipers at strategic points to reduce the gene pool please. Business has a role to play. There is a reason that the support for business was given last week and it seems like some businesses are not prepared to do the right thing and claim the 80% to allow their workers to stay at home. Workers also need to play their part by refusing to travel in to work if their job is not essential (this really isn't that debateable, just ask the question "does my job save lives?" if the answer is no, then stay home). If businesses threaten their employees for staying home then they are breaking the law and will, ultimately pay a price for that. Social pariahs is just the start for these idiots.

Naz - I’d hope for the start of the 2021/22 season - tbh we haven’t finished this season (and we possibly won’t), and 2020/21 might feel a bit flat after all that’s happened - I suspect we won’t be feeling too “up” until the 21/22 season, so maybe that’ll be a focus for some celebration after all this crapness :/

I said to Dazzer of this parish last year that there would be at least one more balls up to get in the way of coming home. That was the £11m fiasco. I am an eternal pessimist, but even I didn't bank on a fucking pandemic. 2021 at the earliest.
