Mike Ashley has emailed staff and said it’s an essential shop and they’re to come to work today. I wouldn’t normally wish anyone ill but I could nearly wish a dose of coronavirus on him.
But sadly I don’t think this will be the only business. Boris has said non food shops are to shut but loads of non retail businesses seem to think they have the green light to remain open. So I know someone who makes staircases whos off to the staircase factory tomorrow and will be mixing with dozens of others.
Are staircases essential? Will the U.K. crumble if we can’t make staircases for a few weeks?
I’m going to be pissed off if I’m abiding by the lockdown and 70% of people are still going to work as normal. Because it will lead to deaths and cause the lockdown to last longer.
