Are you worried yet.

More the other way round. The cynical would say Land Rover was the reason BMW bought into Rover. So it could develop a 4x4 for them. Once that was done they threw it away.

And MINI

Just been advised that one of my hotel clients will be making 'substantial' redundancies when the furlough scheme finishes on Saturday.

Another client (Premier Inn) have just announced half year losses of almost £725m! They've already said that 9,000 will be made redundant, I'm guessing there will be more.

Very tough times for the hotel industry.

It's not like this is coming as a surprise to anyone , a lot of people are only in work because the government is paying them.

That reminds me of when I worked for a Motor Insurance Brokers when I was 16 or 17.
We had a claim come in for a Porsche 911 which had the windscreen and bonnet (front boot?) stoved in by a 'deer' that had been hit whilst driving through Epping Forest.

However, one of the girls in the office, her husband was a paramedic, who on the same day of the collision in Epping Forest had been called out to an incident when the owner of a Porsche 911 had been thrown through the windscreen of his Porsche after an irate husband caught the Porsche owner with his wife!

Yep. It was the same car!
No deers were harmed in the incident!

With what's happening this side of the Channel were waiting for Macron to make an announcement and I don't think it's going to be about the Fish.

Albeit a bit long this is a bit of an eye opener.

Dispels a few myths as well. However, there will still be those who do not believe it.
However all of the figures are there.

 

[CatmanV2]

...well all the figures he decides are worth including...

Not sure what his conclusion was either, TBH. Odd to put it on twitter as opposed to some media that would allow space for the additional nuance.

One other factor that he doesn't address (although it may have no impact) is how many people in hospital with COVID caught it there.

MPs, MPs’ wives, MPs’ children, MPs’ parents, wouldn’t surprise me if Boris or Corbyn have the odd pet daschund or labrador on the payroll.

Because we know that Jesus was a socialist.
