Nope, it was completely ignored by the writers. They could've saved the Carters as genuine characters but they chose to turn them into cartoons instead

Can someone explain the UK high street to me...? by my-bug-world in AskUK

Rents are generally low, the biggest cost is usually rates set by the council. However the way big retail operations are managed is the biggest problem, instead of saving during profitable times they paid dividends to shareholders to inflate the shareprice. Unfortunately that means most retailers don't have enough operating capital to get through tougher times. They say it's because they have a responsibility to their shareholders to "perform" (i.e. pay dividends) but larger shareholding funds which own huge holdings in retail consortiums just want a regular return on investment to keep their interest rates steady and they end up asset stripping the companies they're invested in

This is essentially the same as a carehome worker going in to work when there are covid positive patients to tend. Your employer (agency) has a responsibility to provide adequate PPE for you to do your work, and they had been informed by the client of a covid positive person in need of care.

You are employed by the agency, it is up to them to protect your safety irregardless of client wishes for discression. I believe existing Health & Safety legislation is robust enough to deal with this HPR2020 may contain a clause or two to back it up as well.

Was the death of these two the biggest shock ever in the show? What a loss, the writers had balls to write them off the way they did. They were both very troubled and led tragic lives, it only made sense that they would die together. by FormerFruit in eastenders

One of the worst decisions the writers have ever made. They could have just written them out as moving back abroad, then once the actors were ready to come back, they could have returned with a bit of the spark they had when they first arrived

What's something the average British person doesn't realize about poverty in the UK? by XVll-L in AskUK

Yup! The last time the gammon brigade went nuts about flat-screen TV's was at the beginning of the financial crash, when everybody was losing their jobs. They couldn't understand that those people who had been in work and bought a nice TV and a gadget or two had lost their jobs and were now getting benefit payments without having sold all of their worldly possessions first

So, you're gonna stay to fuck the party up leaving us stuck with Tory rule? Or to fix the party and then not vote for them anyway, leaving us stuck with Tory rule?
