They must be scared shitless if they are doling out this much cash to the poor.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Italy today: 5986/627
Not really, shops stay open.
Well the government can’t be blamed for not doing anything now. Huge things being done by them. Hopefully this calms everyone down.
Unprecedented.
I thought he said shops too? Supermarkets I imagine would be exempt
I was impressed with him the other day too. His 'whatever it takes' speech
oh feck, poor, poor Italy
Just for those who would otherwise be fired, no?
A lot of benefit measures announced by Rishi
We used to share the same local as their head office crowd at my old job. The head of shoe buying was very fit.
Ah, my mistake. Thanks.
He delivered the budget impressively too.
They're going a lot further than I imagined
Italy 627 deaths 5986 new cases
4032 deaths total, 47021 cases in total
Coming to an NHS hospital near you.

But how would the government know that? Almost every company will do it. Even those that would suffer little loss in revenue
Oh yeah, wasn't specifically saying them, but it seems a lot of people are expecting to go bankrupt within days, surely that's not how responsible companies operate ?
Sunak is essentially playing the role of PM. Amazing speech.
Feels strange putting all these measures in, seeing whats happening in italy and we're still halfarsing the isolation.
Has the magnitude of this sunk in for anyone yet? I’m really struggling to get my head around it.
I yell at the TV more because of these fecking journos than I ever do when Mustafi is playing.
Fantastic move to prepare the ground for any upcoming lockdown.
That's still probably some time away, but this with assuage the fears of a lot of people and make them more amenable to following oppressive instructions when they come.

The figures we delved into the other day with cases, tests and populations per region made clear that there is still a long way to go until the ceiling.
Flattening the curve is not enough once you have gone long beyond the point at which health systems can cope.
Even though we have Trump, I genuinely feel sorry for those in the UK. These half-measures won't work and even now it may be too little too late.
Feels very surreal to me.
Think this should have happened a week ago, but good to see tories supporting the public.
Conference was all a bit overwhelming.
Are they saying anybody that has to self isolate will get paid 80% of their wages or this aimed more at the people being laid off rather than the ones that still have a job open?

Feck, they’ll hit 1,000 deaths in a day very soon the way it’s going. Are the restrictive measures not having any effect?
Daily Mail asking the right questions I see.
feck's sake Boris, don't advise us...fecking lead us!
But will you be seeing your mother this Mother’s Day? Of all the questions to ask ffs.
Hopefully that's contagious too.
Boris dropping the ball on Mother’s Day. Just say NO. It was an obvious question and he fecked it.
Hopefully the closest we ever get to WW III. It’s the most impactful event since WW II. It’s the thing we will tell our future children and grandchildren about and they won’t be able to get their head around it, I only hope.
Literally just saying the same thing.
What?
Why would anyone want to go to a rammed pub right now?
Yep! This needs to sink in to everyone!
I seriously hope that helps me. I'm technically a company director (pffft) and pay myself bare minimum and take what I can dividends.
They need to take that into account or allow me to pay myself a proper wage and claim.
If so I can tick over enough to take care of my self employed fella too for a few months.
