  1. Why shouldn't people be walking down the street at 9pm? People are allowed to shop and if I needed to go and get something urgent (like a bottle of JD to help my mental health ) and it is 10pm I do not see a problem with that. In fact, by nature, there will be fewer people out and about.
  2. Two tests for every person. Second test is to see if the first test was accurate.
  3. That is bullying! Being steam-rollered towards illness is despicable and those headlines must be driven by the government, surely? Either that or the respective editors want to get their shit-gathering reporters back into the office.
  4. Must be a wind-up. If not, surely the last sentence should read: "HAVE SOME FUN AND SAY YES TO DEATH"
  5. I hope anyone who attends gets attacked by rabid pigeons looking to feed off scraps.
  6. That is such an important statement. Imagine being a frontline nurse who leaves work after a 12 hour shift, and seeing a few people die and lots struggling for life, knowing that tomorrow she has to go through that again tomorrow and hoping there will be enough PPE for her when she gets to work. Imagine not wanting to go back to that but knowing how bad and "cowardly" it would look if you didn't go in. Same goes for any other health professional who would face a similar scenario. It must be horrendous. That sense of having to go rather than wanting to. It's not like a soldier who joins the forces and knows that one day they may have to fight to stay alive, or a copper who joins the force knowing they will be wearing a stab vest and carry a baton and spray etc to defend themselves with, or a fire fighter who knows they will run into a burning building that could collapse on them or get burnt etc. A nurse surely doesn't go through training where the instructor says "now remember, one day you might be coughed on and the result will be death for you or, at least, you will just take it home and kill someone you love".
  7. I took 4 days unpaid leave from work last week to be my son's teacher to help him with his virtual schooling whilst my missus did her "month end" reporting at home. It was difficult to get my son's fullest attention purely because he found the work they do in his year too easy. The maths was part-whole stuff and it was sums like 10 as the whole number with a 6 and a missing number which he had to answer. It was way to easy for him. He did that when he was 3 years old. My son is 6 now and said "Dad, it's too easy for me. Can you please give me harder sums to do". I had to raise it up to sums where the whole number was like 87 with a part of 59 and he needed to find the answer of 28, which he did after a little thought but, at least he had to think. That's what we've been doing at home, changing it to suit his ability rather than what he's being set. We told the school and they're fine with it.
  8. My girlfriend's sister is also the teacher's assistant in my son's class and she says the staff are all afraid to go back to bigger classes. She's been in and out of school helping out with the key worker kids and she said with just a few in class it's hard to keep them apart. A little boy was sad because he lost his Mom not long ago and he wanted her to hold his hand. She couldn't refuse because she felt so sorry for him and her boss wasn't happy with her for breaking social distancing rules but what do you do in that situation? No way is my son going back to school until I feel it is safe. I don't care what the school, authorities or anyone else says. My son is my world and as a parent it's my responsibility through the love and blood that we share to protect him and keep him safe. No idiot in power is going to overrule that.
  9. I dunno, I could imagine that if Villa scraped a last minute winner after Henderson was wrongfully sent off and they'd had 80% possession and 20 shots on target to Villa's 1 you might just get that feeling
  10. Don't beat around the bush so much. Just tell it how it really is - they're all pricks!
  11. Especially when, according to that ONS graph, the youngest bracket are the most likely. No way does my son go back to school until I am happy that he is safe.
  12. WOW! That is so damning. That there is going to hang Boris Johnson and his advisors.
  13. Starmer is cool, calm and collected. Johnson shoots from the hip. Their confrontations are going to be fun viewing over time. Right now, Johnson must be bricking it going up against him in Parliament. I hope that that Starmer persists with the request for the government to publish all the scientific guidance they've been following, it should be an interesting read.
  14. I'm bemused by that. I'd say that out of all the government ministers that have fronted those daily briefings Rishi Sunak is the only one who seems to have any empathy and comes across as straight-forward, unlike slimey Hancock and gormless Raab. His colour shouldn't matter and I doubt it will. If you're good enough you're the right colour.
  15. I bet the bar steward had that ugly pink tie on that he wears at every appearance on TV. He is a smug bellend and hopefully will be the first to go once the inquest starts.
  16. What about if you meet your parents in a car park? I mean, what if they were in the same queue at Tesco, can you not acknowledge the two people furiously shouting from a distance "son, SON, it's us, you know, your Mom and Dad".
  17. He's such a buffoon that I'm surprised he didn't recommend swimming to and from work if it's close to a lake or river. PLEASE, someone with more know-how than me make an image showing Johnson swimming down the Thames to Parliament.
  18. From now on, to me, Johnson, Raab and Hancock are to be known as the three stooges. You just couldn't make this absolute bowlocks up. Seriously, are they all on crack or something? How can they possibly be so shit at their jobs? It's not just once or twice, it's relentless. In fact, it's almost like they have a weekly bet to see who can becomes the biggest laughing stock by the end of the week.
  19. That fat buffoon is now bricking it because his next door neighbour is probably letting him know the vault is empty and we need to get more money in. That's the reason he wants to send the youngest kids back to school first. You know, the ones who are too young to look after themselves. The ones that don't really understand what's going on. The ones who will find it harder to sit still and maintain social distancing because they're an excitable bunch who like to hug and play tig and tag and chase each other around playgrounds. The ones keeping parents at home instead of at work boosting the economy. Meanwhile, sat at home are the older kids, the ones who can understand what's going on. The ones who can look after themselves. The ones who will socially distance themselves and remember to wash regularly and hand-sanitise. The ones that have come to the time of exams and want to take them so they can plan their futures whether that be in further education or the job market. Germany sent their older kids back first and met with anger from them. The little ones won't have that power of speech to defend themselves. Since when did that big sack of shit qualify to make my 6 year old son a Guinea pig in his experiment?
  20. Entice more people to break the rules (that aren't very clear) and fine them bigger - we need the money for the furloughed!
  21. Out of interest, what are your new interests?
  22. What? That actually made me cringe with disgust.
  23. If that means the end of the Premier League as it is now, the end of Sky and BT sport dominating TV rights and, the corruption and elitism of the sport then I'm well up for that.
  24. Brilliantly put! How can anyone argue with that?
