Cable Forum - Coronavirus

Probably not but what's the purpose of the state broadcaster if it's not to highlight the plight of the white middle class?

Also curious if the staged photo for the BBC website was an essential journey.

It was work, so yes that would have been permitted.

How was it work for the two ladies - were they paid?

Anyway, the picture is titled "Jessica Allen (left) and friend Eliza Moore near their homes in Ashby-de-la-Zouch".

Journalistic work. Obviously.

Key workers, in fact.

The reporters are, they’re not...

Anyway, as posted earlier, it was taken near their home.

Re: Coronavirus

It’s the worker, not the work, that falls into key worker categories. Are either journalists by trade?

Nobody said they were, I believe the original point was that the photo was taken by somebody working.

I questioned if their journey was essential. I offered no opinion on who took the photo.

What else would you call, you know, what reporters do?

Then what was the point of your question about ‘work’? Argumentative, as usual. No surprise there, then.

I found out as shops are private property that can refuse entry to anyone they want.

Personally I'd ban anyone without a mask, unless they had a Drs letter, then they would only be allowed in at certain times to protect others.

I say Drs leter as you can buy an exemption card online which is pointless.

You brought up work Old Boy, not me.

I merely asked if their staged photo was an essential journey. You got into an argument about it, I'm unsure why when it's plainly not essential to stage a photo for the purposes of a "news" article.

Since the confusion is resolved, let's move on, please.

Re: Coronavirus

Boris got well and truly skewered by Starmer at PMQs today.

To my eyes at least, the children's meal package that Boris said was unacceptable, etc, was pointed out by Starmer to be exactly in line with the official Education Dept. guidance.

Boris could only answer that the Conservatives instituted free school meals, not Labour, plus a load of bumbling waffle.

Skewered and Boris knew it.
