So far my guesses are: sliced white bread bacon and gammon whole milk Help me write my shopping list, guys. 3 litres of vegetable oil for your deep fat fryer, as greasy chips are essential. Salt to add to everything you eat Sugar for the 5 sugars you have in your tea 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 I imagine a few of the more reluctant democracies out there like Turkey for example will follow suit before long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all ok to all be doing that? I find it spooky that the police are looking at and responding to tweets and publicly shaming people, there’s a massive overstep there in my opinion. Asking him not to do that trip again, I’ve got no issue with that. The boy Kinnock in his tweet only specified he'd driven out to wish the old man happy birthday .. he added the "Supplies" line subsequently when the rozzers challenged him based on the available information . i.e the tweet , i think the police reply was fair comment Edited March 30, 2020 by tonyh29 spelling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's enough for police involvement, go to talk to him, get his side of the story, and either warn him, charge him or admit there's nothing wrong. If it's not sufficient for formal police involvement, shut up. The idea of the police posting vague unofficial warnings publicly on Twitter makes me quite uncomfortable in general. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xann Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 You're rolling the dice with any encounter with the police. There's reasonable coppers and bellends. We'll only be hearing about the particularly nice, nasty or silly incidents. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't had a good beer in weeks now. Fine. Although I'm not sure that buying San Miguel will really help with your last line. There is nothing in the legislation which specifies what you should or should not buy if you visit a supermarket. If they deem if appropriate for sale, it's available for you to buy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 I think the death figures for the UK are going to jump tomorrow. Not sure how the figures in England have been counted so far, but the death figures for Wales have so far only been for deaths in hospital. Anybody dying at home wasn’t counted. They’ll be counted from tomorrow. That’ll throw the graphs out for a little while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they can only follow Article 7 procedures to suspend rights of a particular state (which the EPP voted to do over a year ago). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say from tomorrow deaths in the community will be included but deaths in community will only be updated once a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
