How will I recognise him. ?

He’ll be the only person wearing a Haz Chem suit in the pub.

Because they wee in swimming pools and eat nothing but pasties?

I had a pasty today and ate it on the beach. God knows what that makes me.

You're practically Pol Pot in a Ben Sherman shirt.

You sir are a peddler of death.

And amazingly there wasn’t a mad spike that followed !

A lot of the things that people thought might cause a spike were unlikely to do so because things like VE day, BLM marches and the like only involved a small percentage of the population.

If the relaxations just started, and those to come in July result in millions of people going back to something like normal, then the outcome could be quite different.

I think most people will still be wary though, so, though we'll see pictures and videos of boozers being packed out, they'll be the exception, rather than the rule. But the next five to six weeks are risky, and it'll likely take that long before we start to get an idea of how risky.

You’d have thought that there’d be localised spikes though ?

Maybe the warm weather had something to do with it ?

From what I’m seeing by me, the pubs are gearing up for outdoor drinking, which should help measurably.

The first night in the City Centre will be bonkers though.

I must say you a breath of fresh air in this thread.

Just me that misses the daily updates? It really feels odd, like it doesnt matter much any more, but it actually does.

Never watched it, clashes with The Chase.

He’s turned his attentions on the MURDERER elect, Kier Starmer.

For some reason that reminded me of a Private Eye joke.

...About the absent Dave Spart, the Private Eye campaigning spoof character, who missed Sparts Personality of the Year even though favourite to win thanks to his role as Neasden convenor of the Stop the War Against the Stop the War Coalition Coalition.

Apparently he had angered members of the voting public after a series of ill-advised comments about how he would like to totally deselect all the sickening neo-Blairites with their proto-fascist agenda, to make the Labour party electable.

From Private Eye circa around 2016 I think

Some data is suggesting that other people staying home more in the areas with a lot of protestors so kinda balanced out,


But even the testing centers that popped up to specifically test the protestors were finding low % of positives thankfully.

Hopefully the details provided will have to be backed up with photo ID

I don’t think so.....

 

[COYBL25]

I don’t think so.....

Pointless then, as in busy city centre bars it’ll be nothing more than lip service.
