Especially if they had at least one paedophile doing them...

Kids ..... they love water!

In hindsight, we now know why he wanted to be with kids in their bathing costumes

Well dead children don't talk.

Ooh dark!

I like that.

[WTFH]

This hasn't aged well (from 16th March)

...
Number of deaths due to CV each week approx 10...

A week earlier, the UK was getting <500 new cases per day. Now it would be nice to get <500 new deaths per day.

I wonder how they're going to spin this one: Coronavirus: UK only formally asked Turkey for PPE shipment help on Sunday - after telling Britons it was on its way | World News | Sky News

Britain only made a formal request to Turkey over a consignment of personal protective equipment on Sunday, Turkish sources have told Sky News.

This is the day after Robert Jenrick, the housing secretary, said at the daily Downing Street press briefing on Saturday that 84 tonnes of the gear, was already heading to the UK.

This included 400,000 urgently needed clinical gowns, which he said would arrive in the UK from Turkey the following day. It failed to materialise, but no explanation for the delay was given.

Two sources have told Sky News that no formal request was made to the Turkish authorities - who were not supplying the shipment, but whose help was sought to get it to the UK - until Sunday.

I loved the public information films! We had those in school every now and then.

Plus all the impending doom from imminent nuclear annihilation

Yes, I remember back then being a bit sceptical that crouching under the kitchen table would be much help against a nuclear blast.

We grew up with proper warning info-mercials .... none of these softly softly rubbish from today!

Imagine the snowflake uproar we'd have today if the Tories starting releasing this style of warning video again

Be afraid! Top 12 terrors of childhood, according to 1970's Public Information Films.

Kites?

Well to be fair, in Pakistan or similar there's a tradition of flying glass kites, and dozens of people are killed or maimed by them each year!
