Contact them, I had tickets booked and was told to post them back to an address with my transaction number.

 

 

I don't have any. Haven't been on a train since my mum died in Feb. 2016. Just wondered.

Protests in China.

So Johnson has Coronavirus and is self-isolating. Thoughtful of him, leading by example after he'd announced he wanted 60% of people to catch it to build-up herd immunity. It's only right the cabinet should pave the way first by not following their advice, shaking hands with everyone, and saving us having to listen to their feeble excuses for being absolutely shit by ignoring long-established pandemic principles.

 

Fingers-crossed the other world-leaders who think people should continue working also set an example by making sure they get it first. I mean, if they don't, they would just come across as hypocrites.....

A lot of world leaders are elderly so let's hope they don't get it.

I mean a future King is always going to be getting a test if they’re displaying symptoms, I don’t get the faux outrage. An almost head of State is considered more important than anyone else in the country other than the Queen.

 

Er Faux outrage? Are you mental or something, so I shouldn't point out clear inequalities in society? Why should Charles get a test when showing mild symptoms while millions of NHS staff are he real heroes going to work where the virus is most prevalent and not being tested?

 

He also clearly flouted the advice not to go to his second (or third or fourth) home instead of self isolating.

 

Just shows how brainwashed the British public are.

No, if they want most of the population to get coronavirus and keep life as nomal going on then they should lead by example. Why only the other day Trump was cheered up no end that a Republican he doesnt like has Corvid-19. Where's his statements saying how sorry he is to the families of those dying? Politicians who don't practice what they preach are hypocrites. Trump promises it'll all be back to normal by Easter and he wants everyone back to work. he, gasp, couldnt be a hopeless lying callous moronic hypocrite could he? I mean he's such an expert he thinks New York State can get by on 2 ventilators. There is going to be a huge daily death toll in the USA shortly.

 

Chris, does your mind mentally delete all the terrible things he does and says? It's not fake news. You can read his Twitter feed daily to see what he says. Cos he is killing people. The only reason he is taking action now is because he wants to support his rich industry friends from going bankrupt, so he has effectively tried to socialise them while not giving a shit about low-paid people with no health insurance. Meanwhile State governors are having to do what he refuses to do in terms of self-isolation and searching for equipment.

and while I'm feeling angry at people elected to keep their citizens safe and well not doing their job, here's a refreshing viewpoint of our own government's responses, and self-made millionaires' responses from the ever-reliable cynically amusing Marina...

...and apologies for posting all this good news, but there is an online article claiming that people in Wuhan are now lining up 2m apart in mortuaries to collect the urn remains of their lost ones - there are 7 in the city, and deliveries of 5000 urns in 2 days at just one of them. If this turns out to be typical we are looking at an actual death-toll of 10's of thousands, which is more in line with experiences in Italy and Spain, and seems to confirm 2nd-hand-reports from the area that the situation was being severely under-reported. Dictatorships of course have an interest in keeping the truth away from the public, as do democratic politicians not doing their job.

To cheer us up, Italy have reported a man aged 101 has been released from hospital after having the virus! :wub:

1,019 confirmed deaths in the U.K. :(

Hope everyone is staying safe and well

Incubation period is anywhere between 5 days and 18 days, so that peak of infection is lowkey bullshit. But if it stops people from going out, you go girl. (Altho knowing Brits it'll last a full 2 days at max lmao)

Steve. If you can't see why the heir to the throne and soon to be King gets an immediate test then I give up. He isn't the same as any of us. He's a VIP, the NEXT MONARCH. The Queen would get one too straight away and her husband and William and Kate no doubt. The PM got one and bet he just had a slight cough. ;)

Ha, only just saw that. Don’t call me brainwashed or mental.

 

He is going to be our head of State in a few year’s time, where everything done will be in his name. It will be His Majesty’s Government. The national anthem will literally be ‘God Save the King’.

:lol: So some people are more equal than others simply due to luck of birth, ok just proves my first statement.

 

So if a member of your family was a doctor fighting this from the very front they shouldn't be tested but a Royal should be ahead of them? Seriously? A doctor is worth a lot more to society than any born to rule monarch!

Yes because that's how a hierarchy works.

So? I really don't understand your point? Because there's a hierarchy that's ok then?

All heads of state (both Royal Family and Presidents/Prime Ministers) are going to be given priority, in the same way they have teams of security. A threat to their life is a threat to their life, people are employed to stop attacks on their life. Yes, it’s unequal but that’s how society works in every single country.

 

Whether we should have a monarchy or not is a different area of discussion.

So? I really don't understand your point? Because there's a hierarchy that's ok then?

 

As much as I view tearing down hierarchies as a necessity for equality, something like the royals are a bit superfluous for getting worked up about. They're also just notable and knowledge of what is happening to them is currently in the public interest.

 

Rich people not in public life getting the test ahead of health workers I'd be angry about, this has a social dimension. Imagine a hypothetical where Charles wasn't tested and then died, that actually has a chance of causing a lot of panic and fear among everyone else.

The whole Charles thing I think is misdirecting it’s energies. Who cares that the next head of state got a test we should be angry that our government has adopted a piss poor testing regime or if we want to rage at Charles then can we talk about the fact that in flagrant violation of all public health and government advice he went to a second home in rural Scotland where we lack the infrastructure to deal with a potential requirement of ICU for a future monarch. We don’t have that kind of capacity to deal with such a major incident and all the international press circus that would come with it that far away from the central belt.
