this is not a bad idea


If I were in charge right now I'd be freezing all payments of energy bills for the next three months. I'd also tell the banks to give people a mortgage break for three months and landlords give people a rent break for three months. Council Tax would also be frozen for three months. I'd also personally be closing supermarkets and working with the military, the supermarkets and Amazon on how to deliver food and supplies to people's homes.

Basically people need protection against running costs. Everything else can just wait.

I'd also be trying to take advantage of this situation to fix infrastructure issues like potholes in roads, train engineering works etc. The whole country doesn't have to grind to a halt.

Italy has totally fucked this up.

What are the family dynamics over there? Do extended families live together? Like granddparents and grandkids all under the same roof? Heard that on the radio.
Yes. Very often 3 generations of Italians reside together.

Sounds like he hasn't been relevant in a few decades, not sure why people would listen to him. If they do that's just natural selection.

God forbid someone thinks rationally instead of listening to every foaming-at-the-mouth panic-stricken media member out there.
Look at my screen name, mete. I've spent the whole time making fun of people for panicking.

That doesn't mean you can't end up on the other end of the retard spectrum, where you've found yourself.

Tom Hanks is out of hospital and Idris Elba seems to be doing okay. Not being a celebrity whore, just trying to be a bit positive that there's a way out of it hopefully.
