Some outlets seemed to revel in reporting that there would be a lack of food etc, therefore leading to people stockpiling. Don’t get me started on Piers Morgan, the way he interviewed Matt Hancock was nothing more than disgraceful, giving no thought to the fact that MH probably had been working non stop for hours on end Too many people seem to want to score political points at a time when we should all be pushing in the same direction

Qatar Airways always had a good reputation when at Gatwick. Was not impressed with Emirates Business Class but luckily it wasn’t my money being used to pay for it, so can’t complain

I know that they provide a Chauffeur Drive service for their First and Business Class passengers transporting them to and from the airport. Emirates have their own lounge at Gatwick which I hear is worthy of praise.Qatar's business class passengers use an airport lounge at Gatwick which is not that impressive.

Originally posted by Jimenez Exactly my sentiments. Without wishing too down play this too much what resonated with me yesterday was some guy on Twitter yesterday from NYC berating someone in the UK telling him that he'd seen NINE friends/colleagues pass away from Covid19!!!!! When I happened to mention that I possibly knew as many people as him & that I also lived in NYC & I didn't even know anyone who'd even had a sneeze or a cough let alone die, I didn't hear back from him. My real issue has been the drip,drip approach to Lock down.Just Lock down completely instead of doing it in dribs & drabs & punish severely those who don't comply so that the rest of us can get on with our lives. I also happened to notice that a Labour MP deemed it proper to attend a funeral yesterday (with 100s of others)while the rest of us are stuck indoors. Of course no one will call him out as he's a Muslim & he'll play that card for all it's worth Did you also notice the labour leader harping on about the lack of funding in the NHS for the past 5 years, or notice the usa born CONservative pm, and his party, not providing PPE to the front line staff, and letting the Italian flights in to the UK unchecked until 2 weeks ago? just saying,,,,,,,,,,

I for one feel there is about to be a change in the way people think about one particular profession over here, and knowing the great british public, i think we can push a nice pay deal through for all the hard work in exceptional circumstances, for even making it in to work, let alone the hard grafting in the line of duty, anybody else feel the bankers should get a hefty bonus in honour of there hard graft saving the country?

Maybe you should stop watching Sky and come back over to the BBC! Yea I know they will spread it but this is what’s going to happen anyway, why not “lockdown” the elder generation and the vulnerable (which I totally agree with by the way my mum and dad were 2 of the 1.5 mill people recieving letter saying stay at home for 12 weeks) and let the rest of us carry on and build up immunity ? I don’t know nothing about science or politics but I genuinely don’t see any other way to beat this unless a vaccine turns up to the whole country tomorrow “This is a crisis, a large crisis.... in fact if you have a moment, it’s a 12 storey crisis, magnificent entrance hall, carpeting throughout, 24 hour portage , and an enormous sign on the roof saying “This , is a large crisis” - Edmund Blackadder

They made that 'Big Short' film about the 2008 crash...though they left out the controversial bits. I wonder what will happen when they come to film this.
