To be fair, that's more insightful and informative than Matt Hancock could ever be.

This could do with being in Extra-Curricular...

I can definitely think of someone. Reginald D Hunter, off of Americans, once nailed what Marmite is like:

Hope all goes well, geezer. Take it easy and all the best to Sean Sr.

Shutdown of pubs, cafés, cinemas, gyms, nightclubs, bars and restaurants (less takeaways) in the UK announced by Big Job. What I like is that he announced this as an unprecedented measure. Erm, that many countries on the continent have had in place for about 2 weeks.

Yeah I often feel like that when fucking Keane is playing.

Can confirm that atheists have toast warm.

Click that motha'.

I’d love to tell you, but for the life of me I can’t remember what I answered before (because the poll votes aren’t public ) Nethertheless, the death toll is bound to be early-mid 6 figures.

I was at a Tesco Extra petrol station at quarter to 5 this morning. The main shop doesn’t open until 6. The queue to get in was wrapped around more than half of the main car park. I heard that, at some point this morning, a paramedic was called to this store because people were sprinting to the aisles when the doors did open, someone tripped over and they were trampled by the stampede of selfish cunts on their fucking trolley dash. This is where we are at now. We have a country packed to the tits with hoggish morons.

So, no lockdown just yet. Given the fact that police & army have been put on standby for one, though, it doesn’t mean it’s not going to happen at all. Maybe give us a weekend to calm down, then launch out with a ‘Remain Indoors’ broadcast.

In Germany, people are preparing for the Corona crisis by stocking up on sausages and cheese. That’s the würst käse scenario.

God sake. I’d rather lick the musty innards of my dead grandad’s bladder.

What about being a numpty?

Heard this on t'radio earlier and it hasn't stopped playing in my head since.

There’ll probably have to be some kind of permit-based access to the outside world for those who can leave the house, and maybe even some controls on who can get shopping in at any given point. UK figures update: 104 dead (up 33), 2,626 cases (up 676). Now the upward curve is getting steeper still, the lockdown will come as less of a surprise.

The Monday bit is purely speculation, but the announcement of intent to lock the country down is looking increasingly certain. But yes, I’m willing to believe it, he’s one of those that has been briefed. The extent of the lockdown remains to be seen; it could be as drastic as we fear, it probably won’t be, but it’s certainly big.

So my source says higher ups in the police force and the army have been briefed that the announcement of a nationwide lockdown is likely to happen tomorrow. That could mean as early as Monday. Sunak did say this £330bn will only be a start. He’s right. He’s probably gonna need to treble that.

We’ll need rent/mortgage holidays, we’ll need utilities paid, fuck, look at how many people have a car on PCP (me included). A lot of people in employment (ones that aren’t self-employed or zero-hour) might be able to stay paid if the treasury can keep businesses able to do so. But if not, SSP won’t do. And, best case scenario, most of us still get paid and have deference on their bills; the country/world will awake from its dormant state to a recession, the scale of which hitherto unknown to the modern developed world. So all in all, we’re on to a winner!

Announced doesn’t necessarily mean in action. The actual lockdown will probably come into force a week or two afterwards. Basically, much like the outbreak itself, their reactions are escalating every day. The only thing that’s surprising is the restrictions we have in place right this minute took this long to be actioned.

I’m not going to say my source, just in case it’s not true (it’s reliable enough to be of concern, though) but I’ve heard the lockdown will be announced tomorrow.
