Professional footballers (AFL) in my country have taken a substantial pay cut, something around 50% in order to keep the game afloat here.

Just imagine if the cleaners and porters refused to turn up and work in the hospital theatre , the best surgeon , anethetist and surgical staff can’t work , if it hasn’t been cleaned .
The players can’t play , if the changing rooms aren’t clean , the goalposts aren’t set up the terraces aren’t cleaned up
This is wrong on every level , themFurlong system was set up to help small businesses , not one of the best run , financially profitable companies in England
i mean the players on 100k a week ,can’t spend it , so a 25 % reduction won’t hurt them .
im self employed , and currently can’t see , based on last years figures , what I might or not get . I don’t understand why there is a cut of point . If Everyone was allowed 50% of they Declared earnings per week , we could all survive .

Will the people forgive and forget the lies and deflections their leaders are spewing at them? Probably, Trump and Johnson are apparently now more popular than they were before they started fucking up the response to Covid 19, how the fuck does that happen? maybe more facists and stupid cunts are at home now so have time to talk to the survey people who phone them.

Is it even remotely impossible to see what Trump is doing? He is building the story that 2m Americans could have died and he personally, with his massive brain reduced this number to just a couple of hundred thousand. Surely even a really stupid cunt could see that.

Johnson and his incompetent, worst ever cabinet are deflecting, blaming and coming up with plans because they are completely fucking useless. They blame the Chinese for not telling them sooner, yet all the grownup countries in the World were taking action at least a month before the UK and the US. The 'herd immunity' plan that sounded like something Mengele would have thought up was evil. When they realised that even the stupid sheep Brexit public would not allow all their old grannies to die to save a quid, they switched into lying like fuck mode. They are doing what a majority of voters did, chosing the opinions that suit them and ignoring what the actual experts say. The WHO say test, test, test, they have tested 2,000 of half a fucking million NHS staff. When they are asked why Germany can test 500,000 in a week and they can only mange 150,000 in total, since this started, they just waffle, deflect and refuse to answer this really simple question. The WHO recommend at least 14 days isolation for those infected yet that wanker Charlie and the so-called health secretary declare themselves fit and ready to start reinfecting people after just a week. They decided that masks in public were not effective ways of cutting down the infection, yet the bloke in charge of Korea's more successful fight against the disease says of course they fucking are, if they weren't' effective then why would doctors wear them? The reason was of course there is a shortage of masks, because despite a pandemic like this being the number one threat on all the government's disaster planning for over 10 fucking years - they did fuck all about ensuring there was an adequate supply. Cunts, total cunts.

After this is all over, they will spin the fuck out of this and nothing will change. Maybe people deserve what they get. A large minority of people voted for these cunts and now the majority who did not, are reaping what the bastards sowed.

My blood is boiling...they are paid to entertain us and they are not doing it. They can't help that, but neither can anyone else who's work has been affected by COVID-19.

I own a small travel company in the USA sending school groups to Europe. Every group from March onwards has now cancelled - I've lost 100% of my business. I've paid back every penny of what was paid to me by the schools, because it's the right thing to do. I am paying my 5 staff 100% of their pay out of my own savings, because it's also the right thing to do. I'll run out of money in about 6 months and then we'll either all be OK, or we'll all be in the shit together. It's a team game. Apparently PL football is not.

For the PL teams, especially THFC, let all the first teamers who don't take an immediate 90% paycut (bollocks to this deferral shit) run their contracts out sitting at home picking their noses, then tell them to fuck off - we'll watch the academy boys play. Charge all the agents with human trafficking, and put all the owners in jail for tax evasion, Levy & Lewis first - you know they are all guilty anyway.

Even the scum are less scum than we are right now.
I agree 100% - when you're 'earning' £100k a week a 95% cut would still leave you 5 grand a week, I could probably just about manage on that. Statutary sick pay is £95 a week fo those not lucky enough to be able to kick a ball professionally. Making these rich cunts pay their fair share of tax would also be nice after this is all over. Tax loopholes, offshore accounts, image rights scams all need to be stopped, so everyone pays their fair share - and the money should be used for the benefit of the people, not wasted on some vanity HS2 project that will allow the already wealthy businessmen to get to Birmingham an hour quicker. Housing, hospitals, social care, public transport are what is needed.

Again may be controversial but fuck it....

I dont think the government want or should stop this in its tracks. It wont help stopping it for it to only come back and fuck things up right back to where they were before we stopped it. It would undermine all future efforts at controlling it.

What they are doing to slow the infection rate and treat all those who they can, using the limited ventilators to their greatest effect is about as good as we could hope for under the shitty circumstances we find ourselves in.

Yes we should have a better funded, better resourced NHS and we should maybe have had this plan ready and activated it sooner and it 100% should have been communicated better, but the thick as pig shit people wouldnt get it anyway so you have to ask to a point, what is the point in panicking them by telling them the truth. They'd just go out and buy shit loads of bog roll...!!!

What they have said to normal people is effective, if the stupid cunts do it. Washntour hands, stay away from people and sit this out for as long as you can. It saves the NHS saving your life and they can concentrate on dealing with the ones who desperately need their care without morons clogging up the system.

This is now something we are going to have to get used to and live with for at minimum the foreseeable future. The only chink of light will be to develop a vaccine which is 2 years away before the likes of us ever get near it.

We could see variants and strains of this that the human race will have to develop it's own immunity to, in exactly the same way that we deal with other Covids like the flu virus that pops us every year.

This has changed the world. It will be a vastly changed world my kids will grow up in in comparison to what we all enjoyed.

No one seriously thinks that scarecrow is in charge anymore? He is obviously being fed lines from experts (advisors he and his cronies vilified during the election) and sticking to what they say. Cant blame him as I think no one person could figure this fucker out alone.

I dont like conservatives, or the way almost all politicians behave or even our political system, but what they are doing is about as good as it could be right now, under the circumstances.

As for the lack of PPE or tests (or chemicals to make tests) this is a global pandemic and we no longer have the buying power of the EU behind us.... yes that is a Brexit benefit no cunt voted for.

Everyone is scrabling round for those resources and until we get them (we're way done the que) we have to slow the infection rate and deal with as we are, there isnt another option.

Only people who have the power to beat this are the dumb as fuck public.

This in its self is Darwinism in action.

Fuck I don't know here to start on this. Firstly the 'herd immunity' theory of not stopping it because the survivors will become immune might work with a known virus, but as yet nobody knows what this fucker will do, and it would need at least 60%, possibly 80% of the planet's population to be infected to stand a chance - that is at the lowest 60% figure 4.7 bn people, even if the death rate was just 1% that's nearly 5 million deaths, for something that might not even work - when the boffins find out IF people who were infected are immune then maybe this could be discussed.

What they are doing his nowhere near 'as good as it could be'. Testing, contact tracing, isolating the infected and their contacts is a start. Using WHO standards on self isolation instead of making up a number of days (that will not prevent infected people spreading the virus) would also be a start. Testing all the NHS staff who are currently unable to work because they 'might' have the virus would be a start. Not fucking around trying to go it alone and develop our very own Ingerlish tests, our own British ventilators and lying their tits off about PPE and making sure all the key workers get it - NHS, Police, Ambulance, health care staff, rubbish collectors, shop assistants, would be a start. Clarifying, strengthening and actually enforcing the 'lock down' would be a start.

I dont disagree that they could do more but I also think everyone could do more and stop being selfish cunts...

Agree that working with Europe is 100% the correct path but the fucking dimwhits voted not to take that option and by dimwhits I mean the voting UK public.

Again, agree that the herd immunity is utter horse shit, in that we as a herd, the population of this planet, wont develop it for maybe a decade... if ever. That's why I think that dealing with those infected at a rate we can manage is vitally important.

Herd immunity should never have been uttered by anyone at the helm as people (morons) cling onto that type of fairytale and translate it into "I'll be ok" and carry on being selfish, virus spreading cunts...

By people following GVT advice the infection rates should slow and ease the colossal pressure on the public services and alow those tests to be prioritised for the key front line workers...

Let's face it bud, its patently apparent no fucker knows how to deal with this, which in its self is a travesty... likely or not we should have had a plan in place and activated it with much more haste.

I genuinely just hope people do their best to keep them selves safe and we as a race learn from this.

Just to add something positive to this thread, I helped create an injection mould part design and the company I work for here in Northern Ireland are helping in the production of the non profit hero shield for the legends that are still working in harm's way. We'll be helping produce over 200,000 initially.

Matt Handoncock's response to the dismal failure of the so-called government to even reach their pathetic 10,000 a day testing target - increase the target to 100,000! Politicians should not be running the country in times of disaster. What experience do these people have that is relevant? If they were sucessful businessmen and women they would not be politicians innit? Most of them were accountants, lawyers or more commonly these days career politicians. With the sickening rise of the right, career civil servants who do have invaluable experience in running countries are being pushed aside, cos these neo-cunts know best.

Mourinho should have employed the Handoncock strategy when we were playing shitly and said he planned to win the Champions League, the FA Cup, the League Cup, the Premier league and bring about world peace while getting Daniel Levy to scrap all season ticket charges, provide free beer and comfy seats for everyone. Watch out for that pig - it might take your eye out.

The Tory cunts celebrating that they built a hospital in 10 days. Yay for them. 13 years of underfunding the NHS, cutting back, running down the services the country needs - and look, they can build a hospital in 10 days. Whey didn't they build one last year when people were dying in corridors? Why didn't they build one the year before that and the year before that..... repeat for 13 years. What are you only now 'writing off' the £13bn debt the NHS owes and how the fuck can the NHS be in 'debt' to the fucking government? 13 years of forcing the NHS to work to ever tightening budgets, taking away what you laughingly call 'cosmetic' routines - tell that to someone with a golfball sized cyst on their bonce you cunt, and now you are parading in front of this 'success'. Cunts.

That lying cunt Handoncock standing at the front of the photo-opportunity hospital, spinning the Tory fuck up for all he's worth (fuck all). How many ventilators are there in this new hospital Handcock you dirty Tory scumbag? Why hasn't your government listened to the warnings over the last 10 years saying without any shred of a doubt that this was coming and made the necessary preparations?

Anyone who believes the appalling propaganda coming out of this governments' filthy gob deserves to live in Brexitland.

wow that’s an extreme way of keeping you all in . Stay safe . Has the virus hit the island bad . It’s up to 4314 deaths here , I was shocked the other day ,when a minister said , “ he’d think it would be a result , if we came out of this with less than 20,000 deaths . God I hope not , the bodies will be piling up .
im not even worried about going back to work ,as my industry will be decimated for another month after ,as I deal with the elderly and infirm , oh well just be happy to be alive .
Good news Spurs haven’t lost in 3+ weeks

I’m sure in these worrying times , we need our PM Boris to recover quickly from this Virus .
good news a slight downturn on the number of confirmed sufferers and deaths , but another surgeon has been taken by this virus ..
when a vaccine has been found , it must only be tested on humans , I suggest those flouting the “ stay at home policy , having bbqs on the beaches and sunbathing in Richmond park etc , go to the top of the list for testing , then try murders, rapists and terrorists , we can continue doing the LD50/50 test though , cause it’s got to be safe

Well today sad to say , I know of two Yids taken By this virus ( friends of good friends) , and ive on good authority that Jimmy greaves is currently in Chelmsford hospital and is seriously unwell ( before my time ) but my dad and uncle raved about him ,and his record and footage speaks for itself, when it does happen , all we will hear is , why wasn’t he knighted , well it’s too bloody late now , and when you consider what he did as a footballer for Spurs and England, what Brooking did ,there is no comparrison
