Covid Figures Exaggerated 09:19 - Jul 19 with 21734 views | Boris_ | Who would have thought it? Scotland and Wales classing anyone who had Covid with in 28 days of dying as a Covid death, regardless of their actual cause of death. In England, we are classing anyone who has ever tested positive for Covid as a covid death. So someone could have have tested positive in February and get run over by a bus today, and they will be added to the list of Covid deaths. As I have said all along, the numbers are fabricated and exaggerated. History will show that we performed as well, if not better than most of the large European countries ( which will upset some on here ) Cancer Research UK are predicting that the lack of urgent care and referrals could contribute up to 35,000 excess deaths as well. Heart conditions etc also contributing to excess deaths. The truth is unraveling. | |

Why tell the country that they will be fined £100 if they don’t wear a mask in shops if they are not going to be fined £100 for not wearing a mask in shops? This has nothing to do with policing by consent and everything to do with sending a mixed message. And you say I’m thick! | | | |

What would YOU do then Soppy? What is your master plan? How would you police the wearing of masks? Are you going to Diane Abbotts school of Police Recruiting and going to hire 500,000 more officers? It's pretty clear to anyone who isn't a little bed wetting pansy that the Government are directing people to wear masks in shops etc and if you don't you 'could' be liable for a fine. Just as you 'could' be liable for a fine when, littering, shouting and a million other things, however the policy on these is normally policing by consent and only at a last resort will you actually be fined. What don't you understand about that? | |

He's definitely an oddball. I very much doubt he has a wife and if he does, she must be sick to death of him. What an absolute bore soppy is. | |

Point of order. Since when can't oddballs have wives? With that logic, most of the contributors on here would be spending half their monthly disposable income on Kleenex, FFS! | |

I see a GMB poll this morning on 'Should you or your boss decide when you return to the office' and 60% of the voters say it should be up to the employee to decide when they want to come back and not their bosses. A snapshot of the problem we have with left-wing extremists in this country. | |

Are you calling the 60% 'left-wing extremists'? Speaking as an enlightened modern employer, what rights (if any) should workers have? | |

Please provide evidence that the people not wishing to return to work until their safety can be ensured are “left wing extremists”. | | | |

It really isn’t difficult Doris, although you seem to share your hero’s inability to sort anything out properly. Just don’t sell products in shops to people without masks on. I’m glad you aren’t a manager anywhere important. Nothing would ever get done. | | | |

So your solution is to not sell products in shops to people without masks on. How will you enforce this? Are you expecting Sheila the cashier to police it? Or are you recruiting a zillion police officers? Not sure your McDonalds cleaning job gives you authority of an opinion on this Soppy. Get back in your lane. | |

Covid Figures Exaggerated on 12:20 - Jul 29 by DorsetIan | I don't need lessons from you in employment law, thanks. The point - which you fail (as usual) to grasp - is that these are somewhat extraordinary times, so comparing a box falling on someone's head is as silly as your usual stuff. And the original question was this: "Speaking as an enlightened modern employer, what rights (if any) should workers have?" I was interested to know where you would draw the line. Perhaps you think it's stupid (or 'left wing extremism') because it's stupid to think of workers as having any rights? Is that your view Mr Scrooge? |
Why is a box falling on someones head different? It is Health and Safety in the workplace. Covid comes under than, as does a box falling on someones head. It is up to the employer to mitigate the risks and if they don't they are rightfully up in court explaining themselves and subject to huge punishments including prison. What are you failing to understand? ( there is a lesson in employment law for you as I don't think you understand ) I'll flip it to you. Someone turns around to their employer and says 'I am not coming in to work as it's not safe to do so in my opinion, so I am going to stay at home and expect full pay' This particular person happens to just want to work from home because it's easier and more convenient for them and in fact the workplace is safe and all risks mitigated. What happens then? Who has the power to decide? The employer or the employee? Interested to hear your solution, with your clearly extensive experience. | |

You're completely wrong there pal. Not even close. It's up to the employer to deem where the place of work is ( and 99/100 it will be clearly defined in the contract ). They cannot unreasonably change the place of work without offering redundancy but to say that an employee can demand to work from home or change their location of work and the employer mustn't reasonably withold it is completely false mush. Absolute fantasy land stuff ( assuming it was a troll post and I fell for it... FFS ) [Post edited 29 Jul 2020 13:33]

The difference is that boxes can be stored in places where they won't fall on people's heads and trip hazards can be avoided, and equipment can be pat tested and all other office hazards will be subject to H&S best practise which has been developed, accumulated and learnt upon over many many years. This virus is new. As you have been so keen to argue when excusing the govt from any blame in how they have handled it so far, there are many unknowns and a lot of it is 'best guess' based on imperfect information. It is very different to the risk of a box falling on your head, for an employee to conclude that an office space is still not 'safe' for them (and given their particular circumstances) that they want to continue working for home or, if that is not possible, not work at all. The issue of whether someone in those circumstances should be paid should be up for debate but I certainly don't think that the employer would should be able to dismiss them - as long as their actions are reasonable (which will, of course, depend upon their circumstances, the type of work they do, and the working environment). And this sort of thing is the stuff of sensible discussion in a liberal democracy like ours, about citizens'/workers' rights. Only someone who would like to see children sent back up chimneys would refer to it as 'left wing extremism'. | |
