Someone's pockets being lined
Someone asked why government continues to offer contracts to companies who have proved to fail in the past. See title line. It's obvious.

Going to any Apple store, we were given two options:
1) buy a new battery
2) buy a new phone
One way or another they wanted money. In the space of one update, my iPhone started to slow down. Call it what you want, if you're going to affect performance with specific updates, communicate that to the customers when they go to the Apple shop to ask for your help.And don't release updates that reduce the phone to a a dinosaur.
Since WFH was established in the company I work for (since last March), I've saved on commute time meaning I get 1 hour extra in bed, the dark circles and bags under my eyes are happier for it; I see my family although we each have our own area in the house to work/study in, I can put to good use my lunch break in the house, I have saved on diesel money so about 1500 Euros in a year.
We've ALL saved on clothes NOT being worn out, oh come on, how many of you just wear tracksuit bottoms with the shirt? No shoes on, just slippers LOL. No jacket either!
nah. Some nice people may do well. That doesn't mean that they've actually behaved well.
At work, the TEAM is all a farce. Yeah you do your work for the benefit of the TEAM, but when push comes to shove, that " I did this, I did that, he didn't do this, she didnt do that" is constantly there.
"Rather than investigate properly, IBM decided to close ranks and try to force Davidsen out of her job by giving her falsely negative annual reviews and "impossible" targets to meet, the tribunal found."
Just this alone should be enough to demote the managers involved, or force them out of their job for inappropriate behaviour.
The thing that disgusts me the most is that the managers are women. I trust Claire Bryant and Sandra Oliveira are now looking for other employment elsewhere as toilet cleaners (no offence to cleaners of any kind btw).
The fact that the Americans have been travelling from EU to USA before now doesn't affect them at all. of course not, it's just the EU countries' own travellers that have brought the Covid19 to USA since numbers have been growing.
Questionable. I'd like to see the Covid19 strains that they analyse to see what the origins are. For example, in Italy the strain comes from the German one found mid January before this all broke out in Italy a few weeks later.
It might not be there core mission but.......

"Killings by intimate partners or family members 2017: A total of 87,000 women were intentionally killed in 2017. More than half of them (58 per cent) ̶ 50,000 ̶ were killed by intimate partners or family members. This means that 137 women across the world are killed by a member of their own family every day. This amounts to some six women being killed every hour by people they know."
As much as I am a remainer, think that Cameron was stupid, that this whole Brexit nonsense has taken on a sickly corrupt tinge, many of us on the continent are looking at Brits thinking what the fuck have they been putting in the water. It's like you're in a daze. Rise up, revolt, did Huxley teach you nothing (hoping you've read Brave New World)?! Do you all want to lie in the bed the Tories have created for you?
Like they recently did in China (reading theReg's news today), they could send an AI virtual bot instead of these nincumpoops of politicians who don't even seem to have a GCSE in anything, let alone Geography, to let them do all the talking.
Even my Alexa Echo could do better. She sings ring ring a roses really well!!
If anyone can be bothered to read all the documentation just recently published here:
https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/how-to-prepare-if-the-uk-leaves-the-eu-with-no-deal
you'll notice that every single page starts with:
"A scenario in which the UK leaves the EU without agreement (a ‘no deal’ scenario) remains unlikely given the mutual interests of the UK and the EU in securing a negotiated outcome.
Negotiations are progressing well and both we and the EU continue to work hard to seek a positive deal. "
Going well, going wrong, going disaster???
You brexiteers that voted for this, you can relish in old episodes of Blakes' Seven and Doctor Who because that's about as close as UK is going to anything intergalactically spatial get if the gov doesn't get its head out of its arse and start dealing with this mistake of exiting the EU.
