TfL was ?1 billion in deficit before the lockdown. He used ?600m for a fares freeze which did not benefit Londoners- only tourists

Interestingly, a school in SE London used to have examples of students' GCSE coursework on the walls showing different grades for other students to look at. This encourages the idea that plagiarism is ok in my opinion

I'm suspicious and https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/is-it-possible-to-enginee/ Note the article is from 1999. Restriction enzymes have been around since the 1950s

We were all given a full scientific paper at uni and the coursework was to write the abstract in a certain number of words. I went into class and a student who I didn't know sat next to me and asked if I'd done the abstract. I said yes. (it was a week before it was due in btw). She then had the audacity to ask to see it. I said no and promptly handed it in there and then. I wished I'd said 'No, I haven't done it' to save myself the aggro. of having to say 'no, you can't look at it.'

Either boris or Matt hancock actually said in an update weeks ago that there may never be a vaccine. The first SARS Covid in 2202 led to massive amounts of research being done for a vaccine with no success- Given the mechanism of cell entry by THIS Covid 19 is the same cell receptor i/e the ACE II receptor then from day 1 I personally had absolutely no expectation of one ever!

Unfortunately many children take careful note of their rights in the citizenship lessons in school but ignore the bits about responsibilities.

The world didn't stand a chance. Does anyone think that the information that came out of China was totally reliable? (probably about as unbiased and reliable as the Guardian imho!)I certainly don't. This timeline is very telling. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/01/timeline-china-coronavirus-spread-200126061554884.html And as we have all seen around here many people have ignored the lockdown and the precautions.

I raided my charity bag and made some from t-shirts using this video but I also got a pack of single use ones in Sainsbury's for ?8 for 10 which will help. It then occurred to me that if masks are mandatory then people on benefits will need a supply and ?8 is a lot of money if you are on benefits and have mouths to feed.(and if they are deemed mandatory the vultures will then buy up all the stock unless they are rationed)

Thank you

The CDC one doesn't give measurements. I need several and will not be able to wash them until the end of the day so I would really need disposables for 2 people for 4 days. Any suggestions?

where do you get them from in quantity -without being fleeced?

I don't know where you were during the lockdown but there were many people flouting ALL the rules from day 1. I just got the impression that the guidelines were actually following the behaviour of the masses since the cops obviously couldn't 'police' the lockdown. There has been a distinct lack of older people out and about because the younger ones have ignored the rules and so the older generation have looked after themselves. If there is another spike then, like the state of the environment, it is down to the behaviour of the individuals.

My advice to the man who cycles in the main road with three little girls is- get yourselves kitted out with helmets for goodness sake!

A friend of mine lived in a pub called the Railway Tavern and it used to open at 5am. I daresay Dockside pubs and Railway and market pubs have licences that start early

It could be people who set their sat nav to 'avoid traffic' because I was in a car with someone and we needed to get to Deptford from Crystal Palace Road. I usually go straight down Barry Road turn right at the bottom and go straight up to turn left at Brenchley Gardens after the traffic lights. This sat nav took us around every back street eventually emerging at Ryedale and took 3x as long!

This happened in London last Saturday and had a police escort? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-53205689
