Boris Johnson has told Andrew Bridgen the UK will walk away & not pay it's debts if we don't get the "trade deal we desire."

So we have been reduced to begging with menaces? "Spare a groat or I'll slit yer throat?" my old Border Riever ancestors would certainly approve!

Yes but the self isolation bit is for the period wh
Yes but the self isolation is in the eventually when you don't know you have the virus.. the Heisenberg cat phase. If on day 10 you turn green etc, then you are no longer a potential but a certified certainty. Your fellow house guest moves up from potential to probable.
And fellow house guest then needs to self-isolate for 14 days from then - which is 21 days from the start.
Self-isolation - is not meant to be 100% foolproof it's just to slow down the community infection rate so health services / hospitals don't get innundated too quickly with serious cases overwhelming intensive care beds. Chinese were quite zealous boarding people up in their flat just cos they could.
I do my mum and dads on line shop for them every week with Sainsbury’s.
I booked their normal Friday delivery on Thursday and it arrived as usual, there was plenty capacity available given just 24hrs notice as usual.
The only thing that was not in stock was soap.
Born in the thirties, do you imagine for one moment that they are not fully stocked with twenty three years worth of cleaning supplies and tins of beans?
Dad has an old wardrobe in the garage, it contains a quantity of chemicals that would cleanse several small towns, that doesn’t stop them ordering two bottles of bleach every week “in case”
If the German car industry isn't going to, it would be good to read how the British car industry will ride to the rescue.Amusing graphic explanation
Just five years ago...
Evidence of how successful this policy is came last month with £1bn of investment in UK car manufacturing announced in the space of seven days. China’s Geely revealed a plans for a £250m new factory to manufacture black cabs, Japan’s Honda said it would spend £200m making Swindon the global hub for its Civic model, and JLR put the remainder into an engine plant and expanding its design centre. In the longer term, Ford has invested £1.5bn in low emission engine technology and plants in Britain over the past five years.
This renewed confidence is feeding out into the wider economy. With 80pc of the cars produced in the Britain sold for export, the industry comprises 10pc of UK exports. According to the SMMT, as well as generating a turnover of £64bn, with £12bn added value, the industry also directly employs 160,000 people and a total of 770,000 across the wider sector.

Amusing, but a little misleading I fear. Very large numbers of German cars are made in other countries, Hungary can make as many cars as us and for some while they've all been German cars for four of their main brands. Several other EU countries make German cars as well.Amusing graphic explanation
Hence how much smaller the second dog is.
And the even smaller third dog is in part due to so many German cars being made where many of them are sold, such as the USA, Central and South American countries and here in Britain of course with the German Mini and Rolls Royce cars. Some won't like that, but both those brands are German too.

Except of course it's all going backwards now. Honda is leaving, JLR is in decline. the Ford plant producing most of their engines is closing and our overall car production is 24% down in the last three years and still falling.

Why did he turn the tap on with his bare hand? If he had any virus load on his hands, the tap would now be contaminated. Yet, at the end, he made quite a pay about turning it off with his elbow.
Surely would have been better to elbow it to set temperature and turn it on?
Quite right too. I still insist it was reported late (as well as other issues).

Disregarding everything else, to get anywhere near what they are achieving we will have to spend towards that much. On top of which UK will, surely, have to double-up approvals of UK air things?
