A canny talk from 2018 which rings true now. Universal Basic Income is the way forward:

We could look at how other countries have prevented deaths and copied them. {insert positive smiley face}. You answered your own question.

It is canny suprising that Joe Biden is where he is. It is canny suprising that Trump is where he is. It's all canny suprising.

Someone likely did. He might have been one of the governments' scientific advisors. He alledgedly had an affair with a woman and she was at his house 30 odd days ago, both of them flouting lockdown rules. Not just any woman, but a 'left leaning' woman. It was front page news the day after the UK became host to the highest death rate in Europe (7th May). Its not really breaking news is it? Makes you wonder.

Are you pro - Trump? I think you should lay off the likes of Breitbart. It's not good for you. Steve Bannon is a problem.

What you are suggesting is that you favour the strategy that would lead to 'Herd Immunity'. Nothing more or less.

How long do you think the over 70's should remain indoors?

The issue seems to be that the rest of the world is aproaching tracking things by using google etc, rather than a bespoke UK based app. Why not go along with everone else? Ultimately it's the same thing but I don't want my movements exclusively in the hands of the tories and their ilk. Google etc is pretty much unavoidable, though you can run VPN's to get round things.

This scheme is now up and running. It will potentially help businesses who have invested themselves in kit as it's based on (up to) 25% of your turnover for 2019. If you want to borrow money; not everyone does. It's 2.5% over six years. The government is lending you the first years worth repayments and acting as a guarantor (of sorts) for the loan.

I still reckon that a Universal Basic Income is inevitable.
