Chat about Novel Coronavirus - 2019-nCoV - COVID-19

Think the full term of the 2015 government would've ended last week. 2015 seems a lifetime ago.

Serco are 'untouchable' as far as the Tory Party are concerned.

@Fox
Think the same was said at the beginning of Corbyn's pmqs.
Without the fucking noise, it's.easier to hold someone to account.

FTPA would have meant a GE on the first Thursday in May in the 5th year after the last GE.

So from 2015 it would have been tomorrow (Thursday 7th May 2020).

(Obviously the 2017 and 2019 GEs scuppered this.)

Jesus.

Funnily, today would've been the last day of his government, were we to have had his strength & stability.

Edit: ahh, this has been covered.

Quite.

Allow more sports like tennis, golf and ANGLING?!

This a joke right? ... Surely they should've let someone sense check it for inclusion and diversity?! Why not croquet then? Polo?

Jesus...

Please be fake news by the dailymaul else... What the actual fuck... (not linking as its the mail. Just Google news the 3 totally accessible sports.)

ANGLING

Don't carp about it.... Etc.

Fishing is pretty socially distant at the best of times anyway.

Are you fishing for rep?

It's a great sport for social distancing...

But seriously...

Could bring a new meaning to someone popping by your fishing peg to ask 'Had much?'

Well not until now thanks

The government are just trying to get off the hook with this line about relaxing social distancing, but their reputation will sinker even faster now in my opinion.

So the 400,000 Turkish surgical gowns that were actually only 32,000 gowns are 100% unusable

Yeah, it'll never float. They'll soon have to reel these crazy ideas in.

Just trolling, obvs.

Do you really consider anglers to be the social equivalents of polo and croquet toffs? I mean, I guess there is a niche of salmon fly-fishers on Scottish estates but 90% of people i see fishing are definitely NOT from that economic or social world. Quite the opposite.

I see it as, we suggest you should pick up an activity try tennis, golf or angling to get out more.

I see it as

or

Or

I see it as a expensive sport or activity, not describing the livelihood.

Like when someone says tennis, golf, CYCLING, I dont see a courier, I see a MAMIL.

and not

Nah, this is angling in the UK

Yeah, you need to get cycling down more regional tow-paths and rivers mate, vast majority of fishermen/anglers couldn't be further from your deck-shoe wearing deep sea sport fishermen!

I see it as, we suggest you should pick up an activity try tennis, golf or angling to get out more.

Isn't it just because more people do fishing than any other pastime? And you do it solo.

Think you replied to me but quoted chainbreaker? I don't have any objections to anyone angling.

Yeah that's not what angling here is. It looks exactly like what @t-v posted, I've seen plenty of people just like that on the Cam towpath for example. I'm not saying they're all necessarily working class (some probably are) but they're not the same type of person as those who go out golfing, that's for sure.

Also, whatever the point is in terms of inclusion and diversity, it does make sense to allow more sports that aren't based on getting into a scrum with others.

Yeah - soz. meant to be @ChainBreaker
