Here we find the DFE strategy for keeping schools open. 

https://twitter.com/educationgovuk/status/1472824123042766851?s=21

More mitigation in schools?  God no!

Get retired teachers to come back.  Because, what elderly person wouldn’t want to go and work in an environment with almost no mitigations for their health. Oh, sorry, they can open the window, my mistake.

I mean, it’s a laughable policy.  On one hand it recognises that schools will collapse due to staff isolating, but on the other provides a totally useless solution
“Happiness can be found in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.”
“Generosity always pays off. Generosity in your effort, in your work, in your kindness, in the way you look after people and take care of people. In the long run, if you are generous with a heart, and with humanity, it always pays off.”

Just had a text reminder through about my booster tomorrow, from an American number.

Wonder which one of Boris' mates that particular scheme has been outsourced to.

Imagine if there was a protest march by all the people who've been vaccinated objecting to the anti-vaxxers putting them at risk.

awful, awful people. what happened to their famous 'my body my choice'?

As seen in this thread, they think they're caring for "their fellow man", if they prevent them from getting "poisoned" with the vaccine, so therefore, there's no "my body my choice". They need to protect the sheeple, because the big bad establishment is trying to harm them. That's the kind of twisted thinking a lot of those covidiots display.

I work for a small local paper and in the last one and a half weeks or so, we have been getting e-mails from people saying we need to report the facts and not have a go a anti-vaxxers and that they are just normal people who don't have an agenda, but vaccinations are bad and most importantly that they are people who are "critical thinkers" and who "try to get to the bottom of things". Yet, it was about 50 to 100 people sending the same e-mail, that was clearly copied and pasted from some internet forum or telegram-group. Clearly shows that they can all "think for themselves". The worst part is that I'd be surprised, if even ten of those people were actually readers of our paper, because as I've said we're really operating on a very limited local level and when you looked up who those people are (thank you google), most of them are from some other places in Austria (where we clearly aren't selling our paper and I seriously doubt that they read the digital version which is behind a paywall) or even Germany. So, they just copied a text and sent it to e-mail-adresses they were given. Well done with your critical thinking...

Also have a personal experience with my dad, where he basically accused me of lying about what is going on. He didn't call it lying, but was asking "when we can stop writing what politicians and others are telling us to and uncover the truth". I tried to reason with him at first, saying that no one is telling us anything and all the information about the virus is out there. Sadly, he has gone full conspiracy idiot and came up with all kinds of already debunked shite. And in the end he said, that he's just worried about me, because once the truth comes out about all of this, people would want to punish the people responsible for it amongst which journalists would be. It's just insanity...

Labour is ready to support further restrictions to slow the spread of Omicron if the government deems them necessary, Sir Keir Starmer says.

...

Starmer refuses to be drawn on whether he thinks the current restrictions are enough or what measures he would put in place if he were prime minister.

Are the opposition parties privy to the discussions had within SAGE/JCVI and the recommendations made to government?  I know they will get snippets like the rest of us but do they get the full detail?

Unfortunately they’ll catch Covid then go the nearest hospital and beg to be treated, using up valuable resources due to their own fucking stupidity and taking them away from the ones who have taken precautions.

Hate to say it, but it may need to take someone taking the law into their own hands and giving one of these anti-vax cranks a good pasting for the authorities to wake up.

There are no doubt anti-vax cranks in the government. Perhaps such a moment would wake them up to what may await them.

We've had protests outside the vaccination centre here in Folkestone from the usual pondlife, thankfully not when my mother and sister have been queuing to get their jab otherwise I may be in a jail cell right now - they're due to get their jab after Xmas so again I'll be up there with them in part for their protection in case things go south.

I know they won't, but thw Hospitals should tell them to fuck off. Selfish c*nts brought it on themselves. I've got zero fucking sympathy for any one of the c*nts now.

I'm triple jabbed, missus is, eldest has had covid and first jab since Sept, youngest will get the vaccine as soon as old enough. Sick of my life being affected by anti vaxx c*nts and Brexit c*nts.

We can order LFT by post again now, despite all local pharmacies seemingly having none.
Am wondering if people are getting normal cold symptoms and going for PCR. I've got very mild "sniffles". If I hadn't gone for PCR last week (due to daughter testing +ve) and LFT every day, I'd be off for one.

They randomly sequence to check the variant and if you have Omicron you get a separate text, although at this point it's probably more likely you have omicron than not.

Interestingly, my Mum has just got an email from the NHS about new treatments and they're sending her a PCR in case she gets symptoms down the line, so that they can get the drugs to her quickly. I'm assuming lots of people will be getting similar?

It's for antivirals and monoclonal antibodies, apparently.

Well, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) has approved the Novavax-vaccine for people over 18, which as far as I understand is a more "traditional" vaccine. Looking forward to it being available and how many of the nutcases who are against the other vaccines, because they are based on a "new" method, will then get their shots. I would imagine some will, but the majority will come up with another reason, why they can't get vaccinated...

Am I correct in thinking any new measures being introduced will need to be announced in Parliament before they can be sanctioned? Did he not get a bollocking by the speaker for just making his last announcement in a press conference again?
Not if they’re advisory.

I fully expect them to be advisory as they can’t get anything else past the Conservative party.

I think so but not sure if advisory only at this stage.

He won't ruin Christmas for anyone as he wants to be Mr Popular.

Leaks suggested that they would put them in place next Monday.

They randomly sequence to check the variant and if you have Omicron you get a separate text, although at this point it's probably more likely you have omicron than not.

Get well soon anyway mate

Cheers, its not me its one of the kids but keen to know which variant as gives me a clue as to my level of protection!

I know they flushed out around 100 'rebels' last time around but it still passed 369 votes to 126.  I can well imagine he doesn't want to pour fuel on those flames but surely - with Labour backing - he'd get any measures through.

Can they bring support for businesses back, for example, if it's only advisory or would that need parliament's approval?

Usual journalists already know by looks of it.

Leaks help no one but apparently it will be in place a week today:
