Just making sure that no one breaks in and steals their toilet rolls they have stock piled.

"fears of possible social unrest amid the coronavirus crisis are prompting some Americans to turn to firearms as a form of self-protection." what?!? i thought they were already armed to the teeth? i bet the survivalist nutjobs are running around with erections shooting their assault rifles in the air.
at least i'm reassured that there's a body more f***ing stupid than the great british public.

I'm reminded of a business trip I once made to Boeing in Seattle. On the way through the car park my guide and I walked past a pick-up with a gun rack attached to the bulkhead behind the driver's seat. It contained rifles, one of which looked suspiciously like an assault rifle and a hand gun. I made a sort of wtf? kind of noise and the engineer who I was with told me that it belonged to a senior Boeing manager who, if he'd had a bad day at work, liked nothing more than to stop off on his way home and indulge in a little therapeutic slaughter of the local wildlife. He personally didn't agree with it but apparently many of his colleagues thought owning and using firearms as natural as using a knife and fork to eat their dinner.

Let's hope he is does a better job than Comrade Corbyn. Expect the long knives to be out within the party and the Tory press to go up a gear.
A thankless job but good luck to him.

The only way surely has to be up from here for Labour, as Corbyn has done his best to reduce the party to being nothing more than a pressure group. I'm sure The caring, sharing S*n will concentrate solely on the current global crisis, rather than put their 'best' men on sh*t slinging duty....

Strange times to be stepping into a position of influence, and how he pitches himself over the coming weeks and months could prove critical, but Keir Starmer offers some hope - especially so far as Labour unity is concerned. Feeling cautiously optimistic...

I'd have thought that securing twice the number of votes as his nearest rival should be a significant enough margin for everyone who wishes to see a Labour Government to get behind him. As for the press, they've already started. The Guardian which likes to publish columns by those of the political right included one by the deputy editor of the Tory supporting Spectator only yesterday in which the author was highly critical of Starmer who she accused of failing to hold the Government to account over its shambolic management of this crisis. The fact that at the time he wasn't party leader was not a fact that she was going to let get in the way of a good whinge.

There have certainly been a number of comments btl in the Guardian today lamenting a potential shift back towards the centre, the place from which the party won three elections. Opposition is easy for these people whereas government requires compromise, something Corbyn and his fanclub really don't understand. The extremes of the political left are almost as whingey as those from the political right, the problem they have of course, and something they seem to struggle to get their little heads round is that this country is altogether more comfortable with the right than the left.
