Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

"So I've just seen the public information film that still says we should stay indoors where possible and only go out if necessary, but Johnson is all over the news telling us to go out and browse in the shops. I despair. "

I've kept googlebox from the end of May when Tom Senior had a rant "Go to work, don't go to work, get public transport, but don't get public transport, but go to work, and don't go to work, go to the park, but don't go to the park, get exercise but don't get exercise and go to work."

It's like reading Foundation by Asimov all over again.

Btw. Impressed with Radford's stance. Even if he plays for *them*

Not a flashy thing to highlight, but v important.

The cynic in me always thinks these are PR exercises that they pretty much all do?

This from Pres Macron would make me pretty proud to be French:

“This challenge has also revealed weaknesses, fragilities, our dependence on other continents to procure certain products, our cumbersome organisation, our social and territorial inequalities,” he said. “I would like us to learn all the lessons from what we have been through.”

Can you imagine our PM ever saying such a thing?

He has to say that, though, doesn't he? Because his country didn't "survive the blitz and will therefore survive this" ;-)

no. But let's see what he does about it, actions, not words.
