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

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.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.
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...
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.
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.
I dont disagree that they could do more but I also think everyone could do more and stop being selfish cunts...Fuck I don't know here to start on this.

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.
Brilliant...a bit of thought like that is more important than any amount of money. Those nurses and ambulance people are amazing human beings.. Well done Toby, and more importantly, well done Tayla and everyone working hard and risking your lives for us every day everywhere...In a world of shite,this is how people should be acting
Fucking end of the world stuff here,Armageddon bingo I just need earthquake and turkish invasion for the full house.
Apparently we have been declared a state of emergency by the govt,official govt rainfall totals for here yesterday were 92mm in 24 hrs,and it has rained every second for 3 days now and wont stop until tuesday.Its a mess.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
Add this fuckwit to the list: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
Get the lawyers involved and sack the pair of cunts for breach of contract....Add this fuckwit to the list:
