The St Ledger meeting is going ahead tomorrow with over 20,000 racegoers expected there over the next 4 days.  This has been allowed by the Government.

Because it’s a test event within a huge open area at a massively reduced capacity. If you want to stay in for the rest of your life then absolutely nobody is stopping you.

And after the races when a few thousand inebriated racegoers head into Doncaster to carry on drinking......

Donny is a bus ride from Bradford and Leeds  where there are big spikes in cases,

It doesn't make sense to me.

It's a monitored test event with limited capacity. Germany and other countries have had them too.

It's to help figure out what can be done and what can't sports event wise before venues open up more widely (assuming it goes well). We've got to try and figure out what parts of our lives we can get on with, with restricted capacity and social distancing.

Dominic Cumming’s friend Dido Harding is a steward of the jockey club who obviously will make money from allowing it (as they did with Cheltenham)

Yes, that’s the same Dido Harding who was in charge of the failed track and trace app and will also head the new public health body.

As an aside, just in case you’re worried about cronyism, the cabinet minister in charge of anti-corruption is (wait for it) John Penrose who also happens to be Dido Harding’s husband. John Penrose also happens to be a member of a think tank that wishes to privatise the NHS.

You missed out that Matt Hancock is her MP and a friend. He's the MP for Newmarket. But being the MP for a town that's built on horse racing won't influence his thinking.......

And she was the CEO of the mobile phone company who had a massive data leak and gave out the details of huge numbers of customers (I can't recall the company)

And Finally, she has never been elected to her positions. But we left the EU because we were being controlled by unelected bureaucrats.

Nice one Forza! A lot of people forget Oldham were founder members of the Premier League. The benefits of a plastic pitch eh?
