I see the test spammers have started.

I have reported it - anyone know how quickly spam gets taken down? This is the first time I have felt the urge to report a post.

Having given some thought to the e-scooter question, do we really want the type of person who rides these things amongst us in society? Probably not, so what a great way to get rid of them.

BSP!!!. Again. They don't get killed, they just end up in head injury clinics and rehab for years, ..having broken the legs of OAPs like yourself

Television presenter Emily Hartridge dies in electric scooter crash

And in the USA where they've been for a long time:

At least 29 people have died in e-scooter accidents since companies like Bird and Lime popularized rentable shared scooters in 2018, according to a Quartz analysis of global media reports. Most of the victims were male and were riding the scooter, though a handful of pedestrians have also died after being hit by scooters. Rider fatalities overwhelmingly involved a collision with a motor vehicle.

I want them banned here in the UK.

Testing. Testing. 1. 2. 3.

Someone has just posted elsewhere:

Today the army were doing testing in the local shopping centre, but I don't know whether if was for the rt PCR test or an antibody test.

Anyone here heard of the army doing testing?

It sounds exciting. Have they brought guns and tanks with them?

I reported a spam post a few days back, can't remember what they were trying to push but it had nothing to do with bikes..... It was soon removed. You have to get it quick otherwise it can get right out of hand real quick, I've seen forums go under when overwhelmed.

The Army carries out a test in a shopping centre then you sign a form and sit back and wait. 15 days later your papers arrive and you are now a private in the forces, they used to call it the Kings Shilling.

Well, that was an easy one for Kier.

Starmer asks Johnson to return to Commons to correct care home guidance error

Sir Keir Starmer written to Boris Johnson asking him to return to the Commons to correct the record about the coronavirus advice issued to care homes. (See 12.47pm.) In a letter Starmer said:

At this time of national crisis, it is more important than ever that government ministers are accurate in the information they give.
Given this, I expect you to come to the House of Commons at the earliest opportunity to correct the record and to recognise that this was official government guidance regarding care homes.

She was a Lifestyle Adviser, perhaps you don't have a lifestyle.

There was a news report on the beeb last night from China. Everything is more or less back to normal there, cars & people everywhere as usual, but of course everybody wears a mask. The reporter said as we know they were wearing them before, during and after the virus outbreak which is basically how they managed to control it better.
Only now is our Government saying it's advisable to wear a " face covering " under some circumstances, note the word they are using is ' Covering' not mask. The term 'Kicking and Screaming' springs to mind.

How have we ended up perhaps the second worse country in the world (after the USA) at handling the virus.

I think Tanzania and Brazil are strong contenders here; though they will also be even worse at counting so we will never know.

She was a Lifestyle Adviser

There is no such job as a lifestyle advisor. That will be why they were completely unknown to me.

It seems there is, since she earned her income doing it, thus classed as self employed.

That was through the weird economics world of YouTube where if large enough numbers of viewers convince themselves that they need a lifestyle or to see anything else on offer, YouTube rewards the advisor hosting the show.

There is no such job as a lifestyle advisor.

Since we have lost a great deal of our manufacturing jobs to China and other countries, the new jobs created are non jobs such as lifestyle advisor and dozens of other similar types of occupations.

Jacob Rees-Mogg tells MPs to 'set example' and return to Commons

Call contradicts Speaker and government advice and will put staff and MPs at risk, say unions
Jacob Rees-Mogg is on a collision course with the Speaker, unions and fellow parliamentarians after urging MPs to return to the Commons next month to “set an example” to the rest of the country.


Rees-Mogg, the leader of the Commons, said MPs should “lead by example” in encouraging people back to work by returning to Westminster as the UK moves past the peak of the coronavirus pandemic. Whitehall sources said the government was aiming for a return in early June.


The move would go against current advice to MPs and thousands of support staff and civil servants who work in parliament. At present, they are under instructions to stay at home and to go to the parliamentary estate only if they cannot avoid it.

My daughter is involved with that kind of caper, she's an 'Influencer' not Influenza note. She goes on You tube & social media sites various saying how wonderful some product or other is and gets paid for it.
Even my little Grandson has his own web site promoting something !

When Ress-Mogg sits/lays in the HOC he takes up several spaces anyway so will observe the 2 mtr rule by default.

I see the leader of Isle of Wight Council Dave Stewart has told non Islanders, we don't want you here stay away.
That'll ruffle a few feathers.
