Italy very low, presumably because they’ve been on strict lockdown in Europe for the longest period.

Hippies before festival: there are no borders, the world is one

Hippies after festival: Take me back I'm British

Fair play to the BBC for exposing the failings with PPE in that Panorama show, but I don't half feel like they're burying the lead on it with their headlines today. Fair enough we've had the minute silence as a big story, but they're not giving this PPE story anywhere near enough attention. 

Hopefully we get a focus on it later in the briefing - I'm sure most of the questions will be on it. Odds of Boris avoiding the briefing again?

This is kind of what I mean. Nothing seems to matter, this is horrendous and should be all over the news today. Put front line NHS workers should at the absolute minimum have the correct equipment to protect themselves. The fact that they don’t should be a national scandal. People should be more angry about this.

Do these ONS figures mean that actual number of deaths is around 40k?

I spent more time reading the comments than watching the video “this is the most ironic video I have ever seen” was a good one.

I hate psytrance, looks like my idea of hell.
