The main bus company in my town is a limited company however 94.9% is owned by the town, the rest is held by a local bank, the rest are all private companies. This action was actually one of the first indications that I had that people were starting to take a lockdown seriously. I believe that other countries started doing this quite early on too
    Do you think the likes of Stagecoach give a tulip about their staff?

        Did you go to university? You seem to be unable to take a considered approach to which 'news' sources you use. I use apostrophes, as that website looks horrendous and is an unknown source. Going to university doesn't make you intelligent if you aren't already, but it does score you down severely for trusting bad sources of information and referencing them in extended essays and theses.

        If such a source lures you in now and again with facts it is then able to mention rubbish and someone like you will for it.

        If you want official sources and detailed explanations of the count methodology for each country or region then go straight to the horse's mouth and stop relying on dumb websites! You've done this for months when you post 'evidence' and it's truly ridiculous and says a lot about the way your mind works.

        I ask any members of the forum to visit the website you've linked to and laugh at the state of the poorly created logos and images. EWN... what a joke. It's one step away from the One News America network nonsense recently emerging in the USA relying on similar levels of stupidity and gullibility from people:

        Last Week Tonight with John Oliver covered OAN and it's bulltulip well the other day.

            This should wind up the misogynists here:

            Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                  Ah. Clearly their contribution is of little or no significance then, in the same way that what Boris & Co get up to pales in comparison to the robust action taken by the UK’s Head of State, HM Queen Elizabeth II

                    This is concerning. One wonders how parents are communicating what's going on if some children are starting to become too scared to go out and think they will starve and/or die.
