Do what ever you want,as long as you go to work

I wonder why you would choose to send back the youngest children; those least able to follow social distancing and hygiene measures or understand the danger? The kind of thing you would do if you wanted to spread the virus.

Quite simple really. They see the economic benefit of freeing up the parents of those kids for work as something which outweighs the potentially life-threatening risk of sending thousands of primary school teachers back into cramped rooms with zero PPE.

I would not want to be a primary teacher right now.

You are right, he’s trying to murder us all......Or maybe, it will allow people who are looking after little kids to go back to work, with the older kids able to look after themselves....

Probably more to do with education/socialisation being vital in a childs development at KS1 age and obviously Yr6 have sats that leads them into secondary school.

The other years can realistically wait a few extra months.

Yet NHS staff deal with actually infected and ill people.....

Why announce this so late on a Sunday night? People still don’t know if they’re in tomorrow.

What cluster ***** all different parts of the kingdom now doing their own thing. A PM with 80 seat majority cannot command respect of the devolved nations. Everything you need to know on how the rest of us believe this blond Messiah managing...

The policy is basically "as long as the ICU's can cope, we're not arsed how many of you die".

I hope this info is posted out in simple bullet points of do's and don't's.

Apparently a 50 page document is being produced to accompany his Commons speech tomorrow. I'll wait and see what that says first before passing judgement. More questions than answers at the moment but that's expected until we get more meat on the bones.

Only if it doesn’t involve driving there, you’re free to dog on your bike for as long as you want in your local park if you want,

Good thing I have a Tandem ♡

But what about the teachers? Do they get PPE? Are there tests available for the, if they show symptoms?

Does this mean pubs are opening?
