Private Landlords are going to be first up against the wall when the revolution comes. And when they grovel and ask why them they will be slreninded of how they acted during the corona virus.
Some of the emails and tweets I've seen I've had to quadruple check to make sure they are not parodies. The callusesness is beyond appalling.
Landlords have to make payments to banks, their tenants have to make payments to landlords, their employers have to make payments to tenants...
Why should everyone else get bailed out except for them?
Because they don’t deserve it?
If we're going to decide that only the 'deserving' should get government money in a unprecedented national crisis, then there's a lot of people who might end up on a very sticky wicket...

Bit of a sweeping statement there methinks, you looking to get free rent
Own my own home and have been a landlord in the past.
Tonight's welding evening class cancelled for the foreseeable future as the college is closed to students from 5pm onwards. I was making a bit of a bourach of my project so every cloud and all that.
You could offer to give your torch one last outing by sealing the college doors?
My inept, wet liberal MIG welding would be certain not to do the totalitarian job.
This 4pm press conf is critical. Specific measures are not necessary. We need to know that HMG are not going to nickel, dime and salami-slice this. We need assurance that the government will do everything necessary.
A bit like Macron's "No business will fail" message - clear and simple, the detail can follow.
Has it ever occurred to you politicians lie ? Businesses in France will fail despite what Macron says.
Yeah, but however untrue it might be, it's also great messaging: the French government has your back in this difficult time.

The detail that he's missing is that the change that prompted the sounding of the siren was when they realized that the thing that looked like a bomber, that everyone was pointing at and saying "that's a bomber", was a bomber.
Rather that than accidentally shoot down an airliner, so long as we acted in time in the end.

The government is going to have to sort out supermarket deliveries for those self-isolating. Tesco's delivery slots are booked up 2 weeks in advance and so are click and collect.
I know there are other supermarkets but Waitrose isn't taking new registrations.
The SNP just made Thornberry look like a proper knob in Parliament. They, the LibDems, and most of Labour (e.g. Ashworth and backbenchers) are doing a good job.
What happened?
Her tone was, shall we say, less than constructive, and Alyn Smith gave her a kicking for it.
"I hate the SNP. I hate the SNP. I think they're Tories wrapped up in nationalist clothing, they pretend to be on the left but they're not on the left."
I daresay Emms won't be changing that view anytime soon.

Here's something a bit constructive people can do - learn to make sauerkraut. Reasons. 1. Amazingly nutritious and high in vitamin C - fermentation makes the nutrients more bioavailable 2. Delicious 3. Full of beneficial bacteria to look after your gut microbiome, which is part of a healthy immune system 3. A natural form of preservation, will last and last, but be WAY healthier than tinned foods 4. Panic buyers are avoiding fresh cabbages.
You'll need a Kilner jar or similar, salt (better quality the better), and potentially a small quantity of natural yoghurt to kick start the process.
Had been thinking of doing something of that ilk for a while so thanks for the nudge.
Cool! Check out all the videos/techniques to see which one suits you best. Main thing is making sure the veg is under the water so it 'anaerobically ferments' as opposed to just going off. I make mine with cabbage (sometimes red) and carrot (yum), Himalayan salt from Amazon, and I put a teaspoon of Yeo Valley through it before it goes in the jar to start the process off. You can't fail.
You can also buy it with the work already done. I doubt there’s been a run on it.
The Korean use of smartphones and apps for contact tracing and monitoring has, from the start, been.... smart.
https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/nation/2020/03/119_286335.html Korea is expanding its special screening at airports and ports to all overseas travelers starting from Thursday, in an effort to contain COVID-19 which is spreading in Korea and around the world, the government said Tuesday.
Currently, travelers, both Koreans and non-Koreans, arriving from China, Japan and all European countries are subject to special screening at entry points.
"Given that the new coronavirus pandemic is spreading all over the world and that more people coming from abroad show symptoms or are infected, Korea will expand a special screening procedure to all entrants," Kim Gang-lip, the vice health minister, said during a press conference held in Sejong, Tuesday.
Kim said six recent coronavirus cases involved people with records of traveling abroad. "We feel an increasing need for stricter border control."
According to the government, as of March 15, a total of 44 coronavirus patients had a record of traveling outside ― 16 visiting Europe, 14 China and 14 other Asian countries.
"A country like Peru completely sealed the country up which we consider too drastic for Korea. The best option for us would be screening all who arrive in Korea," Kim said.
The special screening consists of checking people's body temperature and filling out a personal health survey before leaving the airport or port. Also, people must share their local contact information ― phone number and address ― and download a smartphone application through which users have to report their daily health condition to the quarantine authorities.
The Korean Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) said Tuesday Korea reported 84 new cases of COVID-19 infection on Monday, putting the total number of cases at 8,320 with 81 fatalities. ...
The South Koreans really should be ruling the world, sensible and proportionate, efficient and consistent. They make good movies too.
If you enjoyed Train to Busan, the Joseon (very roughly, the Korean equivalent to Tudor) zombie series 'Kingdom' is available on Netflix.
I think I will be skipping zombie movies for a bit...
Out of curiousity what is the likely situation for those that could perfectly adequately work from home without problem but their company/line manager decides that they want them in the office.
I ask as our company ceo told us friday to all work from home till the 31st after which they would review advice. However the line manager for our team is muttering about reviewing this friday as she doesn't like people working from home
Just ignore her. What's she going to do, give you a disciplinary?
Mrs P. has just gone to the garden centre for some compost. I asked her if it was an essential trip. Apparently it is. No compost = no vegetables = starvation.

At the moment the advice, as I understand it, from HMG is that those that can work from home should work from home. If I was instructed to run an unfair dismissal claim in those circumstances I would say no reasonable employer would act against the advice of HMG.

When pressed Boris will waffle and try and bluster his way through the increasingly detailed and angry questions from the media pool.

Thanks, I've been doing a bit of web scouring as I just can't seem to crack a decent technique. The main problem is that I can't see the rod tip once the arc starts so am welding blind more or less. I was wondering whether to invest in a good welding helmet with adjustable shade range on the lens, though not a priority now obviously.

You didn't act in time, you were too late. Now you'll need a bigger lockdown that you should have.
World gone crazy i tell ya. Riots at Aldi this morning when the delivery lorry arrived apparently! People trying get on lorry to get food 😫
The government needs to sort out food deliveries to those self-isolating.
No they don't. They lied about meeting with the supermarkets. Then met and told them to get on with it, then told the press that tried and tested contingency plans were in place. Which turns out to be "more online shops" which none of supermarkets can do.
We will need the army distributing food. We'll be waiting a while.
Thanks - just read @stodge's post. No totally anti just sounding a note of caution if I read it right.
Suspect there's going to be a terrible backlash if Sunak doesn't announce something groundbreaking.
The "Owen Jones package" of 5 essentials will need to be implemented. We are going Socialist for a while. Wonder if the habit will stick once acquired?
Dunno, but it will be associated with the grimmest period of British History in most people's lives. They might not want a reminder of that.
The Houses of Parliament really should either be turned into museum or knocked down. This crisis shows how antiquated the system is that they have to be there to participate. In many legislatures members can vote electronically and broadcast or electronically publish speeches. This from a Spanish politician Inés Arrimadas, leader of Ciudadanos, announced at a press conference that tomorrow, no deputy from her party will attend the plenary session of Congress, because they do not want to expose the workers and because they believe that politicians have to set an example when they are asking the citizenship that stays at home and telework. She will send her speech electronically to whoever wants to listen, she has said.

I think there are bigger things to worry about right now!
One of the lessons from the global financial crisis is that concerns about moral hazard have less than zero relevance right now.
The core requirement will be to pay huge numbers of people a living wage for doing nothing. Not sure what the best mechanism will be for that. It has to be done, but it will take government debt in many countries to astronomical levels, and there must be risk that this will become untenable if China slumps and bond markets malfunction. If the consequence is then money printing on a colossal scale there is a further risk of rampant inflation. The sort of inflation that destroys societies and leads to civil disorder.

If they don't come up with a decent plan Rishi will have gone from hero to zero in less than a week...

I`m already on. Of course, one could back Biden at 2.16 for next president as an alternative to 1.9 dems to win.
Which of these do you favour?
Laying Trump for Pres. - though it's gone from 1.75 to 2.24, is probably still some value. Though it's not quite as good odds as a bet on the Dems, it captures slightly more eventualities - ie Trump resigning/dying and the Republican nominee winning the election. (Though note, not Pence becoming president before the election: the bet is - Who will be elected to be the next President of the United States of America as a result of the 2020 presidential election?)
£1,000/month to all British residents for three months. (Cost £210bn)
Plus additional "business support payments" to ensure firms don't shutter. (Cost £100bn)
How do we exclude people like me who are going to go on getting paid? Or do I get a bung too? If so, the likes of amazon and B&Q are in for a good year.

We will need the army distributing food. We'll be waiting a while.
If we deployed every serviceman and woman we have, we have about 200,000 people. Allow for sickness and shift patterns, and you get down to 40,000 if you’re lucky. Probably less given the extra sickness challenge at the minute. How many tasks do we have for the military? We need to choose wisely. I think deliveries need to be volunteers.

Is there a book on when marshal law is implemented?

Widespread desertions will make that impossible. If it's getting to that stage entire units will disappear with their weapons. I.e. exactly what happened to the Iraqi army.

Just what is the practical mechanism for doing that? Those in greatest need will be the ones without bank accounts. And long queues as folk collect their "free money"* - how does that fit with best practice on virus control?
At the end, the Italian Professor basically saying in a round about way they will end up with higher mortality rates of those in ICU than the Chinese experience.
It's going to get scary. Tesco in Loughborough stripped. Sainsbury in Melton the same. It's only day one!
My sister-in-law in Switzerland observed the same. But it calmed down very quickly, and I see no reason why that would not be the same here...
Once all the panicking Eadrics fill their cupboards, it must settle down. Provided the food keeps on coming.
What won’t settle down so quickly, until the supermarkets sort it out, is the collapse of many of their websites and the inability to meet the immense demand for home delivery.

This is an over-reaction, surely? They haven't had to do this in Italy or Spain, so why would that be necessary here???
No not marshall aw but there are military police on the streets in big cities helping out. Spain has over double the number of police officers that the UK has so it’s additional resource. There is evidence, again in the larger cities of panic buying, am off shortly to do some shopping. There is, I think, a greater respect for authority out here and a willingness to comply with the law and authorities after all its for our own good.
