We personally know of 3 cases where friends have died in care homes..The relatives concerned have examined the death certificates and found in each case death was given as due to "possible corona virus ". It's no wonder that the so called figures for this pandemic are so confusing if the medical profession are not sure who has the virus and who has'nt.

Yes you are quite right "the truth67", the big problem is that the so called "experts" do not want to lose face, and rather than admit that they don't know, will bluff with a load of latin terms to confuse the general public. It really is no sin for the "experts" to say that they just don't know. The corona virus has caught every one by surprise and as with flu virus will take years [ not months [ to fully understand it and the ramifications of the aftermath on people who have been cured and survived.

Having been happy cruisers for many years now, we noticed on the last two cruises prior to the virus outbreak , that the old habit of hand sanitising before meals etc.etc. had become very lax. There was a time that you were squirted before being allowed to enter the dining rooms. No doubt the little beasties were just lying in wait before springing into action with a full blown pandemic.

I have noticed the lack of bees in the garden which seems to have been as previous years.

Well lets just see after this week end if it turns out as the sooth sayers are predicting. I suspect that it may be just as good as a John Wayne bar room brawl, so it will make up for the lack of cowboy films now showing.

Interesting comments about lab grown meat. For some time now, we have been eating salad which is grown in a deep ex ww2 underground shelter under Clapham Common. Taste's just as it should with no bug sprays used. If this type of meat product can be manufactured and in a blind tasting can taste the same or even better, then why not. It would certainly remove some of the cruelty caused with the Hal Hal practice of killing.

The Editor slipped up by saying "We'd love to hear your comments", now look what has happened !! My comments from way down this thread still apply, and I suspect that even after yesterdays news regarding Liverpool, life will go on as usual in this country the hooligans will reign supreme, the police will still be kneeling [probably on both knees shortly ] and us wrinklies will still be wingeing. Nothing will change !!!

Wow is this the longest thread so far ?? Government collusion with big business wanting to earn at least medium bucks, so they have taken the softly softly approach. This together with Cressida Dick [we were warned before her appointment of her views ] who seems to want another softly softly approach to anything to do with policing. For Gods sake Boris let us have firm action, instead of giving way to political correctness + softly softly. The younger generation just see the lack of response from those in authority as a green light to misbehave and endanger us all.

Just look at the projected profit for the 2nd quarter from Zoom, that will answer many statistical questions.

Why do the left keep harping on about the delay caused by this Government not having the track and trace available for use sooner? This Government or any other government come to that, are not manufacturers of hardware to go into mobile phones. No doubt Apple & Co were given some sort of contract to develop such a system, and probably gave an undertaking that they were able to develop such a system and to deliver by a certain date. This was then made public ,but then the two companies concerned could not produce a satisfactory system that worked and now the "lefties" are trying to blame the wrong people. Just try to blame the corporate giants such as Apple who probably farmed the work out to smaller companies anyway.

Very dangerous. One slip of the scissors and hey presto the face mask will slip off and reveal Mrs Jones from down the road who is a liar, as she always said that she never went to the hairdressers. How will hairdressers cope with the hair that grows out of the ears if it is covered with a mask .

Using these flame thrower type weed killers, although an alternative, is cruel. Flambed worms are not to my taste but might well appeal to a Frenchman................well they do like snails !

Gee Whizz, please keep off my cabbages !!!

You are so right.The Leagues are now desperate for money having lost all the gate money for so long. To keep some of the overpaid " "players" in a style to which they have been accustomed, the TV companies have come to the rescue with some whopping sums to give the fans a thrill.

Hypocrasy at it's very best !! If the present occupants of houses within the square mile around Westminster, Belgravia, Kensington, Victoria were to look at their house deeds, they would probably find a large percentage were built by wealthy merchants with profits made from the slave trade at that time. Many of these houses are now home to those who are bankrolling the present unrest. These houses represent the very worst of the slave trade and represent monuments to that era. Tear these monuments down ?? No the present owners would not agree to that.

Well it now looks as if this piece of equipment has not found favour with the so called "experts " so may now be kicked into the long grass. So all of our"warts and all" will not now be revealed and put into the public domain !

Yes I must try curtain rods for my back having been sitting for so long on a chair looking at the threads on this site !!

Sorry Yo, but there some Black & White who are ignorant because they chose to play truant from school and earn money as drug runners etc., etc. So are now entirely ignorant of History or any thing else for that matter.

Oh Oh what a cracker ! Summer really has arrived. Love it !!

From what one can see from the TV, the looks on the faces of the demonstraters [ bothsides ] show real aggression and hatred towards one another. So the Black lives matter demo., has done nothing to bridge the gap, but merely inflamed opinion on both "sides" of the removing of certain statues issue. As for the kneeling by the police force in front of demonstraters and hooligans no doubt this will be welcomed by certain faiths, as it means that they only have one more knee to bend and to kiss the ground and that will then mean that this country has truly arrived.

I hope the "hooligans " etc., can advise how George Floyd and Winston Churchill are connected ??? Churchill's statue has now been vandalised. It looks as if the NHS will have to provide more facilities for lobotomy operations.

In the USA it now seems that there is a spin off from tearing down "unsuitable" statues, now it is the turn of films in particular Gone with the Wind, which has now been withdrawn from circulation. But the library book still stays. Does this mean that the "movement" can only receive visual images and can not read the written word ??

Julius Caesar had a penchant for watching black slaves fight each other to the death in the Colusium. Black slaves were widely used to row the galleys. To own a black slave was a sign of wealth to the Romans. As there are many busts and statues of Julius Caesar here and in Italy, should these also be defaced or toppled ?? If the Black movement do not demonstrate in front of the Italian Embassy in London and follow up with a demonstration in Rome then they are NOT sincere in their mantra. So much for the "gloryfying of statues " !!!

OK, so the angry mobs want to remove the statues that remind them of the old slave trade [ no mention of the the slave trade of 2000 ] So are they going to loot every bookshop and library, rip out any pages that give references and names of anything connected to the old slave trade ?? Don't think so. What about the companies, now household names, who actually shipped the slaves ?? Certain docks and warehouses that were built on funding from that trade ?? Burn those down ?? One does wonder if the fine weather, together with having been in lockdown for so long and the police cracking down on domestic abuse, gave some of the mobsters an excuse for a "party in the park", and a good punch up to give vent to their frustrations. ,,

Maybe a well balanced and varied diet from reading the above storyline. But reading through again, if you can afford these ingredients springs to mind.

If this is your lovely cat, I am sure one of the TV advertisers would be interested in using him/her in some adverts. Beautiful !!

I just canot see the point of "sacking" DC as most on this thread seem to wish for. If DC were to be sacked unfortunately most people do not realise that Boris obtains so much strategy from him so they would confir not in the environs of Westminster but by telephone, video link etc. Thus those who called for his sacking would be none the wiser, as DC would not be appearing around Westminster, but would still be advising Boris.

As hair grows slower than a persons thirst , why not forego the pub for say one week and then with the £50 saved go for the shampoo & set [!!!], then the following week go back to the pub and reply to those that ask "where have you been ???" and then spend another £50 on a freeby round to make up for your absence !!

Sounds like the best thing for all of us herinspalding

No one so far has asked what personal information has to be entered into the App to get it started. If too much info has to be put in , surely this is just opening the door to hackers, and please don't say that that the details would be safe !!

The REAL truth is now starting to be revealed with more to follow. Donald Trump could learn a few tricks on the art of disinformation from the nasties that seem to dwell in this country.

Why not , but I do think that the NT non membership prices will keep people away in spite of the virus.

It was common knowledge about the toilet roll saga. However the normally full shelves of flour were stripped bare so have been short for a few weeks now. Dilligent stock ordering people obviously tried very hard to obtain stocks during the shortage. This week low and behold flour stocks had arrived..........in 1 cwt bags !!!! Bulk buying for Tarzan.

Wow Is that eyeliner or Kole ???? But how attractive and beautiful.

Is this the actual Ginger Tom from next door?

Whats for tea mother ? Maybe a nice plate of...........................

Mi'lady has spoken. She would not be seen in the local up market pub without having the usual hairdressing appointment with Raymondo before attending for a game of bottles, and a few flaming Whot Nots.

So the chief constable of the Durham area is to involve himself !! Having now had the opportunity to see more newsreels of the encounter with DC, one can clearly see the 10 to 15 paparatzy+news hounds outside the residence of DC. The scrum would have been interesting for Eddie Jones, cameras and microphones being used as weapons !!?? Why have the police not taken action against these people who were ;- Not social distancing. No face protection. It is hard to believe that all those involved all came from the London area, some maybe came from 260 miles away. It seems that the police are fearful of taking any action, maybe they are scared of the press barons/TV moguls and their employees. Whilst some readers will think this has nothing to do with the heading of this column, it does show how the black arts of certain groups of the establishment work.

Sounds like Ryanair at their very best, M'Oleary must be very proud.

Interestingly the paparatzy definately were NOT SELF DISTANCING OUT SIDE HIS HOME and yet they are the ones crowing for him to be sacked. Absolute hypocrasy just like some of the threads here. One rule for the paparatzy and one rule for the rest of us ????
