Corbyn would arrange a meeting and insist the virus has a right to exist..Mrs May would pray.,,the other half of labour party would be arguing about what gender it was.

Or simply all countries will hold the same % debt, re balance currency values... and hey presto, we are back where we started.. back to 2008.

Quantative easing is a cure, if all countries employ it (which they are) then there are no long term repercussions.

Perhaps not the best place for this but, in the absence of anything else jumping out at me, it'll have to do .... Allsop's Residential Auction Annual Review. AST analysis:

I've read some BS in my time, much of the above is good but some of it is claptrap, I'll let you sort yourselves out.
My view....
Central city office space is going to become very cheap for a bit mmmm. That's it.
UK government is actually doing very much what everyone else is doing, a bit dull really.
Recovery via investment in Green is a very logical route forward, certainly I'm betting big time it is.
Brits will do badly out of the next few years because we are generally lazy and under educated seeing nothing positive in being educated. In fact the un-educated look down on the educated in this country. That has been true for so long it is the basic norm in this country. Watch any game show and wait until you hear "and you can speak 2 languages" oooooh in other parts of the world when they say 2 languages they mean 2 plus their native one, with all three to a high level. In England they mean they can stumble through ordering fish and chips in French.
My local town is just investing in new-industrial spaces at the moment to "give the kids a better future". When you look it detail that means, "Pizza making". JHC!
And don't get me started on Financial Education or basic Economics.

Yes, and we're also the finest by a country mile at talking ourselves down.

This is depressingly true. The linguistic failures are easily explained - we live off the back of the US being the global uber-culture, so English is the default language. I've been at multi-national events on the continent - and you have a Finn selling things to a Portuguese. You have a Dutch chatting to a Greek in the bar. All in English. There was one time I was sat near to two Belgians, one Walloon, one Flemish - they were speaking English to each other. Then there's the French. The French are French... <grin> I've been on a campsite in Croatia, and the site owners' little lad (maybe 5) insisted on saying hello to the English-speaking people. His American accent was perfect. He'd never left Croatia... he just watched a whole load of US media.

My opinion
too many businesses being supported that were marginal at best. meanwhile others getting no support at all
people gaming or trying to game the system, have a friend who has been on benefits 2 years now, as soon as the mortgage payment holidays were announced he tried to get one ( despite the DWP paying it ).
the wrong groups being designated key workers by management, locally Golf course green keepers are one group that springs to mind, about 50% of local ladies hairdressers have gone mobile and are visiting people at home.
People praising the rule breakers, e.g. gym owners being praised for opening " its for peoples mental health", social media influencers taking holidays and posting pictures, and claiming it was work.
I'd say locally most of the younger women ie < 35 and nearly all the over 70's look like they've had a recent haircut / perm / colour. and an awful lot of the younger ladies also seem to have got a tan ! ( but then a tanning salon / hairdressers about 15 miles away was raided earlier this week )

Honestly, if you haven't worked out how to do your own hair stuff by now you've been doing lockdown wrong....
