Would be interesting to watch this...
Thanks for the heads up.. Habbox is my only source of news these days because I gave up reading the news since Boris' live broadcast informing us of the lockdown about 2 weeks ago, because it's all corona related and I cba to read it now. lol

On a related note, the 7th Marquess of Bath (Lord Longleat had a game reserve, e i e i oh) has died from CV. Age 87.

Eccentric and typically British. His son, the Viscount Weymouth, will succeed him to the Marquisate.

that made me laugh.. I can see that being the case.

Still be worth a watch though, queen doesn't often address the nation

It'll be exactly that, her imploring people stay home and follow government guidelines because unfortunately not everyone is taking them as seriously as they ought to be. Annoyingly I can already foresee the dumb dumbs of social media kicking off about 'easy for her to say from her palace' etc.

"Those who come after us will say that the Britons of this generation were as strong as any...while we may have more still to endure, better days will return: we will be with our friends again; we will be with our families again; we will meet again." - Queen Elizabeth II

For those who missed:

we will meet again
apart from those people who dont have access to proper medical equipment and/or treatment and die because of the choices of this government

Not sure why the government would/should have thousands of ventilators in storage gathering dust. Clearly this is an unprecedented situation.

It'd be like arguing we should buy 1,000 coast guard boats and build a 30ft seawall around the whole island in case a 25ft tsunami ever hits.
