Stay at home was over in England weeks ago.

Not when you have symptoms it wasn't. It is now. Have symptoms do what you want. We did.

Whatever the case the lockdown is effectively over now. Why won't everyone just go to their parents now?

If Cummings is right to do it then so is everyone.

So CVC will want to see the return on their investment, from broadcasting rights,is that correct? So do they get all broadcasting for a period of time, or 28% in perpetuity? If they own 28% of the business they will be entitled to 28% of any dividend, assuming there is one. The much speculated play...

I have heard a story that the SRU are looking at some serious cost cutting. At this stage contingency planning, but entire programmes are up for scrutiny on the basis that it is better to fund fewer things properly than more inadequately. 7s are supposed to be under threat (again). They'd be extrem...

Money = good, losing some control to commercial interests = bad.

Thoughts?

Good.

Commercial revenues are going to plummet. Let CVC take the hit.

Boris Johnson's popularity is going through the floor according to the polls today is it.

Michael Gove will be PM in 2021. No chance Hancock and Johnson survive this one. Even for Johnson. Lying, affairs, being generally useless is one thing but the huge amount of deaths is quite another.

If you want to have a go at Churchill don't look at his racism but the Bengali famine.
