Your doing nothing wrong mate..needs must ,we all have to live .
We're all hard working guys and deserve a deal to be out on the table to protect us all..we should all be told to stay at home as we're not essential work.

I keep going back to this and will probably do so again many times. If I lived in London, the South East or any other highly populated dense city then I wouldn't have a problem lying in bed all day doing SFA, receiving Government money or not. Supposedly the Government initiative was to prevent the NHS being overrun and to therefore manage the peaks of infection. London, unfortunately, soon will have a massive rise in infections and deaths and anybody that works there, and especially those travelling on the Tube, should really give their heads a shake. They therefore should be fully locked down and all Public Transport should be Policed and only essential workers allowed to work.
Where I live the last figure I saw was 20 known cases and 3 deaths. If we are to follow Government instructions about distance and safeguarding I am less at risk where I live then those currently sitting on their high horses, telling me I would somehow be immoral to follow Government instruction and go out to work, were 4 weeks ago. Didn't notice many on here then saying they'd stopped working even though they had seen and heard about the infection ravaging Italy at the time.

I don't feel good about going out but seeing as I just cleared my savings out to start a new guy who now won't start until it's over (my choice) I now have no choice.
Just bad timing on my part.
I would be happy to stay at home if they will pay us although it's still a bitter pill to swallow as I have kept myself out of the ratrace all my working life apart from 3 years in the army which I feel should mean they are grateful to me not stitch me up lol.
3 years army and 7 years reserves after counts for nothing.
That is how this country works when you are no longer any use to them.
Read Tumbledown about a lad in the Falklands whose dad was a general but when shot in the head and permanent brain damage/issues they wiped their hands of him.
This country no matter what government is totally fooked up.

If this doesn't convince you to stay at home, nothing will.
PEOPLE COME IN, THEY GET INCUBATED, THEY DIE, CYCLE REPEATS.
I have well and truly changed my stance on this, STAY AT HOME

He is a lump lol.
Him and his son could hide the rest of us and I'm not small.
Im 6'2 and felt like a dwarf talking to them.
But they are rugby boys so not the worst people you can meet.
That's the thing with us who play/played rugby it's our nature to think of the others like if playing a game.
If they give us no choice with work it doesn't sit right as we are team players if you get what I mean.

You could stand 10 feet away and people still wouldn't be able to see me unless you pick me up but keep me at arms length ?
Stop trying to persuade people otherwise.
We know the situation but some don't have a choice no matter how guilty you try to make them feel.
How tall(short)are you bud?

I stopped facebook years ago, coz of what its like. In my view most of the ones posting bad stuff about people cleaning windows etc are the scum. Witch hunts etc are the same. Im not talking about peoples opinions on here, just bored people/keyboard warriors who like to bully/bad mouth people when they donrt really know what their talking about. Most likely they either dont work themselves or are waiting for their nice plump freeby pay-outs. Well stuff them, they can shout abuse at me but they will certainly get it back, and some.

What I do not get is everyone is at home can only go out once a and window cleaners want to drive and walk about. People that get it will be the stats that played dice. If you have a family no ******* way. High risk for bit cash when next week none of us be allowed anyway. Look at the 4000 beds at excel centre with three death rooms built. Need a head wobble

Looks like Nicola Sturgeon may have done a full U-turn stating that the new legislation brought in today, saying only people that should be going to work are those that are essential, details will be fully outlined later today, no doubt as the numbers have jumped right across Scotland she also said numbers had been previously incorrectly calculated
They also said on main news that not all self employed people will get help..
Waiting for Doris to give us a financial package .fingers crossed guys..
