Christmas Tree

We must be fair to everyone – even the rich Prosperity masked deep social divisions. As the cuts bite, the fractures will widen unless the pain is shared http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/c...icle7125822.ece This does seem to be the way we are headed and its hard to know how this will play out 20 or 30 years down the line. The parties will only get closer and closer, politically and voting will be reduced to a sort of x factor politics, if not already. Labour and Conservatives have moved too close to the centre and I cant really see either party moving back to old stomping grounds. Im also unsure whether this makes governments better or worse ie the fact that we are not reeling policies from the left to the right, more tinkering on the edges. With regard to the defecit and planned cuts etc.... a commentator on the above article left this little story which I found amusing.

Decent first outing as leader on Marr but....

So this is going to be the week when Mike Ashley can rightly say he is getting the hang of this football lark. European ties against the likes of Benfica in April A transfer / wage system that works A squad that just keeps getting better Great season ticket deals for fans And a profit making football club And all this before the the big bucks TV money rolls in. Of course it hasn't been delivered without pain, but few revolutions are smooth. We will rightly hear all sorts of praise for dynamic duo this week and once again our club will be heralded as the blue print for most clubs to follow. So where now? What about the next few years? How can we as a club take advantage of this solid foundation and become a regular top four challenger? Personally I think we'll have a few rough years ahead before he finally fully understands what's needed and appoints someone like Benitez.

I’ve been leaving fruit and veg (and post ) for 24 hours before putting away as I’d heard that it can’t live for 24 hours. As for disposable gloves, euro car parts had some 2 days ago. Pack of 100 about £6.00

Too late, needed a snack.

Cheers. Self isolating for 12 weeks (At least) due to wife’s Asthma. Daughters fine (single) and just qualified as a teacher so ready to marry off ? New hobby: Chicken keeping (Mainly for the 9 year old to have some activity / routine / fun during the next several months. Making Bread and trying to watch a comedy every night. Trying too avoid too much news, twitter etc and just full of admiration for the people fighting this on the frontline. Hope everyone on here stays safe and try’s to keep their pecker up as best they can. Fat little cunt out

The PM will tomorrow confirm that Britain WILL get an IN / OUT EU vote before the end of 2017 http://news.sky.com/story/1041580/cameron-to-promise-in-out-eu-referendum

When he plays against us, will he get a hero's welcome or be treated like Judas, by the masses.

Classy, I’m not sure the virus cares which way an oap voted.

Tip: Buy chickens. 4 for £20 at most places, canny pets for the kids during lockdown and fresh eggs every morning.

it’s about delaying / flattening the peak so the NHS can cope better with the seriously ill during late spring / summer. I’m not sure what people don’t understand about this? If we all bunkered down for a few months now, then we would be delaying the peak to winter when all the other winter viruses are at their peak.

More succinctly put from The Times.

I think you are doing exactly the right thing with your boy as those with Asthma could be hit very hard by this. (Wife has it). Before the rush starts, maybe worth you spending £50 on a nebuliser from Argos. They are not life savers as such, but they may help him get the medcine into his lungs better if he’s hit with the virus. The plastic spacers are good under normal circumstances but if he’s feverish and unwell, the machine works better. As for the overall way this is being tackled I pretty much agree with the scientists. This isn’t going to go away until we have either all had or a vaccine is developed. Locking down the country too soon is just delaying the big hit. What we need is to let it keep going at some level so that the peak is as flat as possible, giving more seriously ill people, more chance of quality care. Good luck to you all

Colin tweeting what he claims are pics of the new away strips for Next season. I quite like them at first glance if they're real. Can't copy and paste on phone. Maybe someone else can or just delete this if its bollocks.
