I think the population would have more respect if Bungling Boris had made an appearance at 4pm to admit the announcement would be delayed for whatever reason. It just seems he is the bus conductor on a driverless bus hurtling into oblivion. ****ing clueless.

Multi coloured bingo cards now. This is like every dull sales presentation ever. Here are some graphs you don't understand. Next slide please.
Anything this govt does is wrong if you're anti Tory. But having said that I do hope to hear a good reason why we waited so long, the timing seems quite poor this time around
And quite a few thousand people too.If they don't support councils, there will be loads of leisure centres and gyms closing for good. Councils have helped support keep their centres going where possible but they are potless. Virtually all centres are run buy not for profits who still have the running costs to pay. Memberships have been decimated and this will just make it worse. You are spot on about mental health but there are loads of other services provided by these sites that benefit physical wellbeing. GP referral schemes, Cancer Rehab, Cardiac Rehab, Diabetes prevention to name a few. Also the overwhelming percentage of kids' swimming lessons.
And this is just one small sector that will be massively affected - just happens to be the one I know best. Without targeted financial assistance rather than the blanket assistance of last time, it will be the death knell of a fair few sectors.
