Cineworld Closes

  1. And may not reopen. 5,500 people at risk, plus families, plus suppliers.

    Low paid, low skilled jobs are being lost in droves.

  2. And they will likely never return. This mess will permanently change public life as we know it.

  3. But don’t worry

    the government is saving us from a flu that is dangerous to sub 1% of the population


    We are so lucky

  6. That is what they have said broke the back and made them close now.
     
  7. Have been a member of a cinema meetup group in Cheltenham since the start of the year. We have Cineworld Unlimited cards and go twice a week, or did before lock-down. Had a good thing going throughout the hiatus with Zoom meets, quizzes and film lists for Prime, Netflix and Film4 with group reviews after. Moved to the town last weekend and now this, typical.

    Feel for the employees. Hope that they can come back next year once, hopefully, things will be more viable.
     
  8. I hope the other corporations manage to coerce billions or many millions out of the tax payers coffers. So that they survive & pay no taxes..
     
  9. don't worry gunner, pretty petal has the final solution she's about to roll out.:imp:
     
  10. A couple of lads at work were buying shares in Cineworld during lockdown. I guess they have taken a bath o_O
     
  11. If your investing in shares still while crypto is growing & unstoppable. You need to review you're set of influencers & friends.
     
  12. I find this who lockdown, distancing, mask etc utter bollocks. Can some one please tell me what the fuck are we suppose to be protecting?

  13. I am so utterly pissed off and enraged by the whole fucking thing! For one, it has empowered the fat, fag smoking, pizza scoffing moronic, settee denizen 1/2 witted proletariat ,who can now self righteously point a nicotine stained finger and shout 'where's your mask mate?
    Bollocks to 'em!

  14. And will people in power who are bringing the country to it’s knees and destroying countless lives, businesses, entire industries be held accountable for the massively disproportionate response?

    Nope - they will carry on regardless and retire wealthy.

    Not a free country. Not a democracy.

    I would have them publicly flogged.

    Then hanged


    Sorry - feeling a little pissed off! :mad:

  15. Apparently the all new James Bond movie could have saved the day in the Uk,but unfortunately he's self isolating.
     
  16. I don't think they are bringing the country to its knees. All they have to do is reduce the upper rate tax rate and that will increase tax revenues to pay for it all.

    If that doesn't work they can reduce VAT. Oh wait ..................

    TB
     
  17. Around 0.5% of the population if your above 70years old from death. But wait for 'wave 3' which bill gates says people will take notice. So here's a hint, if you see trails across the sky lingering. Get inside'
     
  18. Not to turn this in to another Covid debate that I probably started :laughing:

    I don’t buy the whole ‘wave’ thing. To me it’s rising and falling because we are prolonging it with our ‘lockdowns’ creating a wave like effect. It’s our doing.

    And mysteriously I wouldn’t be surprised if it rises over winter because erm.. it’s a flu
     
  19. If they offered this, instead of fizzy pop, with a bucket of popcorn, everyone would be safe.
