More for-the-sake-of-it government bashing?
Sammsky on his moped, we need pictures.
Didn't say I was going to try one ... don't even know how to!Might have to learn quickly, but apparently if you can ride a bike and drive a car, ;earring to ride one safely is very easy?
what a refreshing piece of news to hear
Belarus: The Country Where They Didn't Lockdown!
The whole world is taking precautions, keeping people safely inside, practicing social distancing, right? Well no...In Belarus they do things differently. Bars and restaurants are open, few wear face masks outside and today they had a big celebration with crowds. So I went to take a look...Join me in the country that does things its own way.

Bald and Bankrupt is a mad lad, he has zero fear. He smuggled a cat from Cuba back to Europe.

Well, those imminent 'game-changer' covid home-testing kits that the government has briefed the press on at least three times, only for them to fail and be quietly forgotten, would've been a start.
Absolute bellends, in Wimbledon too what the feck.
This seems to be a weekly thing now in Germany. Mass demonstrations in many big cities against the restrictions imposed by the government. Stuttgart once again saw the biggest one. Organisers wanted permission for 50,000 people, 10,000 were allowed. The right to protest is important but that really seems excessive if not crazy.
Sadly UK would never be disciplined or ingenious enough to implement such. But we’ve got BrExit and freedom so we’ll be OK, right?

Yeah, Ive been watching his VDOs for a long time. His India series was amazing, esp the swim in the lake avoiding security guards
He is mad, bad and wonderful.
Here in germany I see mostly young girls being outside to be honest. The boys and guys are just inside gaming.
Doesnt help that they changed the bank holiday to coincide with VE day.
Well no.
NHS staff still need to go to work. Police still need to be on the streets. Fires still need to be put out. Ambulances driven. Electricity, gas, water, internet provided. Army bases manned. Air traffic controlled, lorries driven, food made. I could go on.
Ah crap. Seriously? This has been resolved. I agree!
Outcome bias and in this case it will particularly affect those who are particularly prone to normalcy bias.

Seen the Governments new slogan is going about twitter.... Stay Alert, Control the Virus, Save Lives
I'd suspect in COVID's case, most people have been prone to normalcy bias.
They’ve got to unwind people's anxiety about leaving the house now, the stay at home messaging was too effective! Now, the virus is still there but the NHS seems to be coping and the economy can’t take too much more Coronavirus support I reckon. I see they’re also developing a “risk score” which will show the risk score (even for your particular area), similar to the terrorist threat one. The subliminal message is clear - you still go to work even though the terrorist threat is set at “severe” you just stay alert. Same with this thing.
Can't believe that Little Richard is Prime Minister...
That's one fecking stupid slogan.
Lockdown is over, then, caus if people can't manage it right now they're sure not going to with that being the messaging.

To conquer the virus, you must become the virus.
It’s also beyond stupid, someone entering the UK is much more likely to catch the fecking coronavirus outside of quarantine than to bring a “problem” with them.
The UK is absolutely riddled with corona, what on Earth is this meant to achieve at this stage?
It really is the blind leading the blind over there.
Careless. Talks. Costs Lives.
The slogan has been designed so they can claim to be in control.
Some of Sky’s reporting has been truly excellent during this.
Didn’t seem to be much anxiety for people to go and put out their bunting this weekend.
Just as well the terror level is set to severe, reminds me to keep vigilant at all times when I’m outside. Would love to know how they’re going to figure out the risk locally.
Stay Alert is a stupid slogan.
I get that the government need to change slogan, because need to begin coaxing a petrified population down from the top of a proverbial mountain of fear.
But how can you be alert to something you can't see? What about 'Stay safe' or 'Be responsible'

Not having kids around helps. Mine has left home so both of us working from home works really well. I'm far more productive because I don't have the distractions and interruptions of working in an open office.
Less pay for saving you money?
I work while I eat at home or at work.
I've found the vast majority of people at my work are working far longer hours. In my case largely out of necessity because my areas workload has increased by probably a factor of 10. I think I've finally managed to recruit someone to support me which will help.
Training and mentoring employees will certainly be a challenge in a fully working from home model. And it will also be job/industry specific and also how big a team you need to manage. I'm lucky in that i only have to manage a small fairly senior team and I have the luxury of being fussy about who I employ albeit at the cost of my own workload.
Probably the most stunning piece of VDO Ive seen on Covid19, perhaps one of the best bits of VDO ever full stop?
What coronavirus looks like in EVERY country on earth - From Afghanistan to Zimbabwe

Put the over-50s and the obese into concentration camps, and open up the rest of society.
We need to save as many lives as possible whilst keeping businesses afloat and people earning money to put food on the table.
