We both went out and applauded. About half the street was there, plus we could hear folk clapping in the adjacent streets to ours. It was extremely moving and actually brought a tear to my eyes. It was a unifying moment - for once a United Kingdom! Well almost..A few left wing FB so-called friends at once decried the demonstration. They claimed that it was nothing more than covert support for our Prime Minister Johnson, and that we who partook were nothing more than misguided fools who'd been sucked in by the right-wing media. All garbage of course, for me it smacked of the old "You're either for Jehovah or against him" nonsense - the daft linking of 2 separate and un-related issues so beloved of extremists.

Applauding the NHS (UK)
by blablabluh inhi, just curious to know if anyone knows of witnesses not applauding the nhs on thursday night.
all i know is for some reason my mum and aunt only went out to listen but didn’t take part in the applause.
not sure if they were just being strange or if there has been instruction not to take part.

Covid-19 (Coronavirus) - Status Update Thread
by Simon inthis topic is to focus on status updates & advice (no opinion or politics please).. status.
latest status is that it's serious, probably isn't going to be contained and most large companies are making contingency plans, cancelling large events etc... which i don't think would happen if it was just people being alarmist.
the incubation period means it may have already spread further and infected many more people than are currently known, so expect jumps in the numbers over the coming days and weeks.. tracking.

For the UK Chancellor Rishi Sunak: - Is coronavirus REALLY so bad?
by The Fall Guy inon bbc news footage a couple of days ago, he was filmed getting out of his ministerial car and walking up to the entrance of a building in london where he was warmly greeted by an official.
the greeting was a firm handshake, followed by the two of them walking very closely next to each other into the building!.
what did his government say about keeping 2 metres distant?

Do you know anyone with corona virus?

Yes. My BIL and his wife both have the virus, but are making a slow recovery. He'd been working in Austria but came home earlier than expected and was in contact with a whole bunch of guys from Italy who'd been on a skiing trip.
He says that it's unbelievably debilitating and has hammered into his immune system so that other stray bugs surface later.They're in total isolation so we've posted chocolate bars to them in the hope of cheering them up.

About the Memorial and Unleavened Bread Thing..
by snugglebunny inunleavened bread has no yeast in it.
and yeast is a symbol of sin, right?
not good for symbolising whatever it's supposed to symbolise, obviously.. so my beloved missus, who i believe is possibly the best cook in the world (although i do have a soft spot for chef nigella lawson with those magnificent knockers and all) is an absolute ace at baking sourdough bread.. and yes, sourdough bread - especially when toasted - is absolutely yummy.

I get it. Unleavened bread has no yeast in it. And yeast is a symbol of sin, right? Not good for symbolising whatever it's supposed to symbolise, obviously.
So my beloved missus, who I believe is possibly the best cook in the world (although I do have a soft spot for chef Nigella Lawson with those magnificent knockers and all) is an absolute ace at baking sourdough bread.
And yes, sourdough bread - especially when toasted - is absolutely yummy. And it doesn't contain yeast!
So. How about it? Would it be OK if the Memorial emblems were sourdough bread instead of that ghastly unleavened stuff?
Enquiring minds need to know!

Social distancing and the Memorial
by Kingdavid41 inwith the coronavirus now categorized as a global pandemic and many large gatherings are now social distancing for safety concerns of contacting and spreading the virus.. will the memorial of christ death take place on april 7 2020 worldwide where thousands will gaether in large crowds to commemorate the death of jesus as commanded in the bible.
jesus gave the command to keep doing this in remembrance of him or will sound, reasonableness and good judgment for safety overrule on that special night.
my guess is that it will not be canceled regardless of the frightening and very real pandemic the virus has caused around the world!.

I guess "social distancing" will be on a par with self-disfellowshiping..

Europe traveling to US suspended. I dont get why UK is exempt.
UK isn't part of the EU's Schengen agreement. Schengen countries have open borders. UK doesn't.
