Hmmm. How many rights right a wrong?

As long as the money is going to the NHS i am not too bothered where it came from.

Jolly generous of the exiled Russian banker accused of fraud. I never read any Balzac but have read the Godfather.

I'm also in two mind of about this. Nice of him to give 1m to the NHS but who's he been ripping off to afford a £140 million home

If its his fellow countrymen it'll do for me.

An exiled Russian banker who fled to the UK after being accused of fraud has donated £1m to a hospital to help its response to the coronavirus pandemic.

But if you think of it like that, next time it could be an exiled Englishman who's run off with our money to give it to the citizens of another country

I have a feeling we wont have any money left to run off with.

Nearly 10,000 dead in UK a national tragedy and a disgrace.

I have added a few words.

And 2 minutes of Photoshoppery later...

It's unusable as a letter but the point is that now someone knows the format of the letter they can grab the logos from the websites of the org involved and use any reasonable signature as who knows what the real one looks like?

As i have already said more than once there is more info below the signatures which is why i didn't include it.

Doesn't have to be an exact copy to fool a few people.

 

[Chippy_Tea]

Believe me you wouldn't hand that to police officer if you had seen the original it wouldn't fool anyone.

Onesub.io is reporting nearly 12,000 new cases today. Can't be true, surely, as Public Health England reports about 5,000 each day. But Worldometers reported over 8,000 new cases yesterday? I hope and think that we are near the peak.

@kelper , with regard to the jump In numbers from Worldometer........' NOTE: UK Government: "Today’s figures for positive tests have been adjusted to include positive case results from swab testing for key workers and their households (pillar 2). These will be included in the daily figures from today, 10 April. If these results were excluded from the figures, as they have been previously, the daily increase in the number of people who tested positive would have been 5,195. Data on positive case results from swab testing for key workers and their households between 25 March and 8 April is available" [source]

I think its time to come down hard on the f--kwits who think it wont get them and treating it like its a free holiday with pay, i want to carry on living and enjoy my retirement it really pisses me off that some people think it doesn't apply to them but will still expect nhs staff who are risking their lives everyday to help us to help them, my daughters best mate who i known since she was 5 has been put on a ward to look after people who will more than likely not make it she is 22 years old she normally works on gastro i really feel for her, so all of the people who are flouting this lock down dont expect any sympathy from me

 

[dad_of_jon]

My daughter isn't a key worker so she doesn't have a letter but she lives in a holiday home hotspot and has been caught up in the crossfire

But that only accounts for 330 extra? PHE will update later this morning......

Onesub.io has just corrected their number of new cases (from ~11,000 to ~4,000!)
