hi ivan cloherty
hard times where seen by all, in those days, and those ashore couldnt even get a blow from a rag-mans horn.
they could not survive today in those same conditions.

No matter what the PM says there are always people who do not want to listen.
They have there own stupid ideas and wonder why they catch it.
or spread it to others

Mr Johnson has been criticised for not introducing a full lockdown earlier. It’s now expected England will have to be shut down for longer, because of the delay.

Re: Another U turn.
Well, I hope we don't follow Wales in the lockdown.
In Wales's: You can buy socks but not women's tights, you can't buy baby food, you can't buy baby clothes, but you can buy alcohol. you can't buy bed clothes.
A well planned lockdown.
