I meant in the context of the state/government response. I accept the majority of people are doing their utmost and acting responsibly.

But this situation with pubs etc has to be clamped down on. Covid will be present in large social gatherings where distance cannot be maintained.

Someone there gets the virus, and is say asymptomatic whilst taking public transport the next week. They decide mask wearing does not apply to them, so infect someone vulnerable who must use public transport to get to work.

I'm not saying the government can be an angel everywhere and at all times, but they have a moral duty to do their utmost to protect vulnerable citizens from a killer virus.

Well thats now illegal, with a £1000 fine.

Pubs can have their licence taken away if they dont play ball.

I dont think anyone would go near a shop that didnt have the right Covid alterations.

Not exactly sure what they should do if I am honest. The economy has to get going, soz, but thats just the way things work. If the conditions are in place to minimise risk, (it can never be eliminated), and the vast majority comply, then we have to take each day and week bit by bit.
 
I wrote to Mr Hancock asking him to adorn the sides of pint glasses with a health message similar to those found on cigarette packets. "This pint could kill you selfish [Poor language removed]". Maybe at the bottom of the glass there could be an image of an elderly person bleeding from the eyes to really drive it home. I suspect he's thinking about it as we speak. I'll keep you informed.


Requiring people to maintain physical distancing and engage in responsible behaviour with face coverings etc, is that asking too much?

Why have the rules if they cannot or will not be enforced? Why bother at all and just let people decide as they see fit?

The wife and I went to a tea house on our "cut loose Saturday". I fear the ways of the wild ones wouldn't be my subject on Mastermind. I would like to point out, however, that we're not completely risk averse, as the tea leaves we enjoyed were from China.
 
Blair was a Tory. There is no distinction. He was a market led neo-liberal, as was Brown, Cameron, May and now the Murderer.

The NHS 'coped' only by making sure it was not facing a deluge of care home patients - who were left to die in their care homes in order that the Johnson Gang could be able to claim the hospitals weren't overwhelmed.

How on earth you and anyone else can hand that lot any credibility whatsoever is a matter for you and your conscience(s).

you really do talk some utter drivel.

Minimum wage, tax credits, Record spending and performance on education and health, Homeless falling from nearly 2000 in 1998 to under 500 in 2008.

None of the above are actions of a 'Tory'

Just because he understood people actually want to make money and better themselves... didn't make him a tory
