"It might be easy to say as a northerner but, I would shut the underground down in london...as you dont need to be the brain of Britain to work out why London is the hotspot for it to thrive. " It's not possible to shut it down due to the number of key workers who need to use it. What hasn't helped is our thick in the head mayor Sadiq Khan telling everyone two weeks ago that the tube was totally safe to use. Now him and Transport For London have taken the genius step of closing down tube stations and running a reduced service

"My thoughts First he should introduce a law that anyone profiteering would be prosecuted. It might be a minority issue however it would send the right message. Second. After this is over I would require all individuals to have at least two weeks worth of non perishable food in their homes. I know not everyone will or can do this but if a majority did it would make a huge difference. To put this into context all the current panic buying only amounts to £15.00 per person. And that included the empty beer and Vodka shelves. Isnt making a profit called capitalism?" Sort of but not exactly. Most economic systems aim for profit but it's why they aim for it and who owns it that names the system. Capitalism is a system where the government play a secondary role and the means of production are owned by the people. We have a mixed system of socialist (for all the people, NHS etc), oligarchical (small amount of people own most of the profit), and capitalism here that is veering towards trying to be a free market (don't like to pay for welfare as it generates no profit). | |||

"Make it possible for people to test themselves at home (luke you can get with some STIs)... Slight kicker is they wouldn't be as accurate other tests but it's genuinely horrifying having to wonder day by day whether you have it and what your last day will be" People are not even being tested in the nhs. Apparently a story is out tomorrow of a dr contracting it from a patient. | |||

People are considered equals and their needs equally important. Governments exist to ensure that all people are treated equally also. All welfare is provided by the state and not for private profit. If you see with capitalism the profits belong to private owners. Free market is encouraged and welfare can be provided by private businesses for profit. | |||

"Put the whole country on lock down, that will help stop the spread of this virus. As social distancing is working fantastically isn't it." How are people going to get food if we are all on 24 hour lockdown? And how long for? 2 weeks? 2 months? 2 years? It doesn’t matter how long you lock down for, the virus WILL re-emerge. It’s a simple fact. All social isolation is for us to SLOW down the spread. Not stop it | |||

You should also have some kind of proof of how many people you need loo roll for. Make sure the kids who aren't in school (kids of essential workers) are also social distancing from their friends & relatives they don't live with...

"Not something for now but thought for after.... We give our armed forces medals for going on ops. At the end of this as a bare minimum all critical workers should get a national medal for the service in this time of national emergency!" Medals are tin tokens that governments give out instead of proper recompense. Soldiers who have given everything are awarded a bit of metal and ribbon, then told to fuck off and starve. To be proud of the service they gave their country, but don't dare ask for a decent pension. So no, there should be no giving of medals. There should be pay rises for both front line and the less visible support workers. There should be proper funding increases for the vital services that keep people alive. There should be compensation payments to dependents of doctors, nurses, cleaners, porters, police, army, bin men who catch this through their work and lose their lives or suffer incapacity. It should be no questions asked, not "commissions" looking into it for five years then doing nothing. | |||

You are justly proud of the medals you received, or that your parents, grandparents received in conflicts past. But you deserved more, just as those being asked to risk their lives and their families lives now, deserve more than just the hollow thank you that is probably all the government will give them. | |||

"Seen some pictures today of our local seafront showing how many people clearly don't understand what staying at home means - and the behaviour of the idiot pnic buyers at supermarkets tgat have prevented NHS staff from making use of supermarkets opening an hour early just for them makes me hope that the PM steps things up and puts the army out on the streets or something. The longer these morons continue to ignore the advice the government is giving, the longer we'ee going to have to do it - and they're selfishly risking putting unmanageanle demand on the NHS" Government and medical advice isn't to stay home (unless one of your household displays symptoms), it's to practice safe distance from others. | |||

"First comment is anyone profiteering would be prosecuted.... You realise who's in government right?" I know  | |||
"My thoughts First he should introduce a law that anyone profiteering would be prosecuted. It might be a minority issue however it would send the right message. Second. After this is over I would require all individuals to have at least two weeks worth of non perishable food in their homes. I know not everyone will or can do this but if a majority did it would make a huge difference. To put this into context all the current panic buying only amounts to £15.00 per person. And that included the empty beer and Vodka shelves." Some people don't have two days worth of food in there house. Some people live pay day to pay day. Some people need food banks that will now have nothing. Some people will be kicked out by slum lords after losing there zero hour jobs. But some people are spending £500 plus on extra food. It's time for a change after all this | |||

"Thank fuck I’m a product of the sixties and seventies, as a kid I learned about survival! I learned as a kid to build things from nothing. I learned how to use my brain when playing. I learned how to look for food in hedge rows, we caught rabbits and took then home to mum for dinner. I learned that if I needed a poo outside, what plants would wipe me clean, I learned to use survival tools, a knife, a axe, a saw, and the jokes it’s held together with string and willpower, as a kid our minds were sponges and even to this day, those skills are still with me! But, from the eighties onward, kids haven’t been able to learn a damb thing, there’s no learning apart from sitting in front of a tv screen, the introduction of games consoles all be it tic tac toe to begin with, kids are so reliant on there parents to supply them with there daily needs, and now those eighties kids are adults and parents, is it any wonder that there’s so much hatred in this world, it breeds a selfish society, and now that lack of just playing is showing what this society has bred! I’d welcome a total shut down if all the services, because I know me and my family would survive! This virus is just the tip of the iceberg! It’s probably going to get one hell of a lot worse unless we take a really hard look at ourselves. The elderly are going to suffer first as our society throws them aside as discarded rubbish and I really feel for them. The so called people in charge! The top 1%! They don’t give a shit about how people will have to live, so long as they’ve got food in there bellies, so all they’ll do is waist time and not put a proper action plan together. I’ve a normal guy, who cares about people, I’ve always tried to respect others, but society has just gone to far away from need and survival to pure greed? We all need to pull together as one United country, let all create a land army, where everyone helps there neighbors! If we all stick together, we’ll all get through this, healthy. This is just my opinion. " It’s unfortunate you didn’t learn about paragraphs though . Makes it hard to read.
Sorry, I couldn’t resist!
Being serious though, I agree with quite a lot of that | |||

"I would first of all cancel brexit then introduce a curfew where you only could go out to buy food and restriction to dog walkers to only be in their local park." If the police would see a dog walker they would get the power to ask where they live and if they catch them too far they would have to return home. | |||
"I would first of all cancel brexit then introduce a curfew where you only could go out to buy food and restriction to dog walkers to only be in their local park." why cancel Brexit how will that help, sometimes remainers will use any trick to get their way. Couldn't make it up. | |||
