The way to tell the country is truly fucked is, even when presented with all the evidence of how badly they have handled the pandemic, people still defend the government to the hilt. It's like they are so scared of being proved wrong in voting for them they double down and back them even more.

[So… Howard Philips]

Well I don't know if you knew this or not Jill but if the sound is on low people don't celebrate when a goal is scored. They do when the sound is on loudly though.

Or do they just celebrate in a quiet and dignified manner when the sound is low.

Why are the media wanking over air bridges with Australia, NZ etc when they hardly let anyone out and hardly let anyone in unless you're a returning citizen or something. Not exactly party time is it?! Be lucky to get in there by mid 2021!!

Apparently most of the teachers in wifey's school think the same way, and you see the odd opinion poll that seems confirm that they are not alone!?

[TSC]

So these ‘air bridges’ only apply to England.  Devolved administrations have to date refused to adopt.

It appears these ‘air bridges’ don’t actually exist.  Agreements have not been reached with destination countries apparently.  All it means is that UK folk going to said countries won’t be quarantined when they return to UK.  Nothing to stop said folk being quarantined within the destination country.

Another day another balls-up?

Yeah, amber = good, green = bad, red = bad. You know it makes sense.

Weird isn't it.  Actually no it's not it's just plain stupidity as these are the same people saying they never expected it to get this bad and argued with me that people were going ott shutting things down.

This was despite me saying having you seen the numbers?  A couple of dozen 3 days ago is now hundreds and at this rate thousands will die.

Yeah but it's only a bit worse than a bad cold or a dose of flu!!!

Maybe the fact that they're praising him for giving them an extra two months paid holiday?

[7777]

That would, I assume, be because it was one Dr, who’s view was widely debunked by the wider scientific community.

Don't know mate, hence the 'not heard much about that one since'

Debunked because there wasn't sufficient evidence or because viruses maintain the same viral load throughout it's existence?

Be interested to read views from others if you have them

[Jiminy Cricket]

Serve only Daiquiris and Pimms and Lemonade; require the wearing diner jackets and bow ties; and ordering of drinks must be in Received Pronunciation. Oh, and when dressing the bartender, prefix your order with, 'Good day'.

I feel for the kids in that school if teachers, of all professions, think this Govt. has done a decent job.

[CraigDS]

My girlfriend's been told she's working from home until October at least and maybe for even after that.

She said she wouldn't mind a few days in the office and a few from home but working every day from home seems mental to me. If it was for the rest of her career that's over 30 more years sat at a laptop every day without seeing colleagues and having a routine etc. I can understand many companies will see the financial benefits of this but I really worry about us from a society perspective if this is actually the new normal now for ever.

I've worked for myself for years upon years, a lot of that from a home office, and it's entirely possible to have a routine - you just need to treat an area in the house as a work place and have a morning routine as if you're getting up and going to work. It does take a switch in mindset but once you do that it's great.

Whilst that may seem a bit 'WTF' - is it to prevent all pubs opening from midnight tonight once 4th July starts.

I guess less people would get up at 6 for a pint than they would go in at midnight?

You’ll get people starting tonight and carrying on through til opening time, just watch.

I went for a run with a mate at 8am last Saturday along the canal and last a pub with a nice looking beer garden. Might have to do the same tomorrow.

My morning walk does the same. I'd only need to go an hour earlier!

I would imagine he's as surprised as most normal people that pubs can open at 6am. But it must depend on their licence conditions and I don't how many pubs have 6am opening

Good, then those pricks will be fucked by 12pm and the civilised lot can go and enjoy a pint.

My daughter used to work for weatherspoons in the kitchen and they opened at 6am for food and alcohol.

Then that must have been allowed by their premises licence. I would imagine some of the larger Weatherspoon's may have a licenced 6am start as they do sell breakfasts. I don't know how many open at six one if they are open how much business they do but I'm sure Tim Martin will be whipping the staff in tomorrow for a 6am start if they can legally open then.

Just looked at the Richard John Blackler's licensing conditions and alcohol can only be served between 8am and 9am with a substantial meal. So a full Englush and a pint of gassy John Smiths it is then.

Nick Ferrari interviewed Johnson this morning on LBC. Didn't hear it but I assume Ferrari didn't ask the great leader about the obesity levels in this country and the link to covid.

Would have been awkward for both of them as they must weigh about 20 stone each.

UK in talks to join EU coronavirus vaccine scheme

"London is assessing whether the advantages of the European bloc’s bargaining power to strike deals with international drugs companies [to make a coronavirus vaccine] outweigh the broader political desire to sever ties with Brussels, UK officials said."

So many thoughts. But good if it goes ahead and we're working with the EU on it.
