Don't post on here often, but read it every day. Can't sit by and watch @Ozanne getting picked on for doing little other than make a polite 'point of order' request without my saying something. F

Obviously horrible news. But I think pointing the finger at Rayner is not only unfair to her, but also serves to help silence critics of the Tories. Don't forget that over the years, BJ's words h

Man I'm furious. He's not remotely apologetic. Look at his face while Starmer is talking. I've tried to avoid taking this too personally but my mum died in hospital last summer and I wasn't allow

Not food ones I doubt … maybe non essentials ? But surely that’s at the choice of individual businesses … will cover up scruitiny of govt measures though 

If supermarkets stay open during a day of mourning, I would imagine that will go down like a pint of sick with the general public!

Anything less than a week would be entirely disrespectful.

So this year we've had a zombie govt under Johnson whilst he spent all his time on Operation Big Dog. Then we had a zombie govt whilst they spent months on a leadership campaign. And now we're going to have a zombie govt whilst in collective hysteria boo hooing the reason we're all subjects and not citizens. Crisis, what crisis?

Fuck I go on holiday (in the UK) for a week tomorrow. I don't mind getting the holidays back (already told my Polish boss in Barcelona that I'll be expecting them adding back on) but this holiday was booked for the week COVID lockdown happened and the idea that nothing might be open all week is worrying me as everyone tries to one up the other on how much they are grieving.

There were shop owners being beaten up when Princess Di died for opening according to the press at the time. I was working in retail, my boss was on his honeymoon and I had no way of contacting him to see if I should open up. Ended up risking it

TV/Radio's gonna be unbearable when she pops it... it was bad enough when Philip died. Think I might have to rewatch Neighbours.   

It's going to be absolutely horrible. Personal news blackout for at least 2 weeks for me.

Worst timing ever.

Does that mean your place in Barcelona is empty during the official hysteria period? Tempting.

She’ll be happy … it stops scruitiny and any impending riots for now 

There's not going to be any riots, just the usual "yes sir, no sir" cap doffing.

If this country was going to riot they'd have done it years ago.
