You'd have to be a simpleton to read that Spikey phrase as earnest.

Universities are going to be a fucking disaster, aren't they?
Yes, if by disaster we mean fresher's flu being renamed and...?
Lol, as if that's going to happen.
I can't actually think of a single bigger form of spread than universities. They're all old enough to catch it and social distancing will be non-existent. All home in time for Christmas to spread it to their families too.
Carnage awaits.
They should get it now and recover amongst themselves.
I wholeheartedly agree.
We've had fuck all cases in my uni.
What a bunch of Nerds.
Too busy learning.

Sunak announces a top up scheme to replace furlough.
It's absolutely crap.
Yeah, really appealing to pay an employee 33% more than the hours they've worked.So for someone on £2,000 a month working half their hours, they’d get £1,000 normal pay plus £333 extra from their employer and £333 from the government.
I'm not sure why it needs the 33% from the employer. Surely that will lead to people being made redundant.
I don't think it's meant to stop redundancies, more to tide people over who will soon (or at some point) get back to normal hours.
A big step down from furlough though.
The vast majority of people who're going to be made redundant by this will have already been made redundant too (or serving their notice on furlough).
I can't think of any circumstance where it's useful to a business.
If they're struggling enough that they can only offer part time hours to a FT employee, I don't fancy that they'll want to pay them extra money as a nice gesture.
I've been interviewing people for a marketing role this week - I've probably spoken to at least 20 people. Every single one of them has been made redundant or at high risk of redundancy. It's brutal out there.
Marketing is pointless though, so they deserve it.
Aye. I'm probably a fortnight away from learning my fate.
My wife works in wine and one of the big companies who have had people on furlough for the entire period and now starting to just bin people off completely. It's going to be a real shit show in the next few months.
We've still got it.
Perhaps the key to the vaccine will lay in Zlatan's blood, after he's bossed it out of existence.
Another one for the "good luck enforcing that one" bucket.

He is the biggest weirdo in existence. Covid would be doing a favour permanently fucking him up.

Speaking of Covid doing favours, students are banned from pubs and restaurants for the time being. Unreal
Yeah, good luck enforcing that one.
The acceptance is the problem. Skulls need to be cracked.
After all their pissing and moaning about being sold down the river by the elderly on Brexit, it does make me lol the way they're behaving with this. Proof (that wasn't really needed) that, shock horror, all people look after their own interests at times.
Don't really know how Brexit is in the elderly's own interest.
They thought it was, which is the point.
Hahaha amazing.
Those Scottish university regulations are demented. We should ask for our money back.
It’s only for this weekend and for ones in halls, I presume.
SNP will still win 95% of seats and probably get independence in the next few years
Less forrins.
A successful Brexit would be more in the interest of younger people (for the opportunities or whatever it would create), but I would have thought a lot of older Leave voters were voting on the vague notion of getting things back to how they used to be in the good old days when they still had a sex drive.
The 60s and 70s probably was great fun for a boomer and then the 80s an opportunity to buy their own home. There was still loads of foreigners (West Indies, South-East Asia etc)
I can't find any ethnicity stats, but there's no way the racial demographics of the 1970's are anything like today's. At school we had 4 non-white people in our year and 1 Kosovan.
My daughters class at school now is a full spectrum or races. The main cities have probably changed less, granted.
That's probably why it's all the little shithole towns that voted leave. Margaret and Bob can't say nuffink these days.

Yeah but you could call them funny names back then.
Ethnicity across the country is 87% white.
There's definitely a sense in the regions about London elites having foisted multiculturalism/multiracialism on them without their consent (to what extent this is true is debatable). The central tension is them saying well hang on, shouldn't we have some say in what our locations/communities look like, and shouldn't everybody living here have a proper stake in the whole place rather than just their narrow ethnic community; and their opponents saying no why would you have a problem with any of this, unless of course you are a RACIST.
Personally I think it's much less about colour and much more about language - people really don't like hearing foreign languages spoken around them, it takes away their innate sense of place and makes them feel uneasy. It's easy to throw RACIST at any such feeling, but this isn't a rational argument, it's about feelings, and you can't control your feelings.
