I've seen flip-flops in January up here. Perfect for the dash from Range Rover to Tanz Are Us.

There’s a college age lad I sometimes see at the bus stop who is still wearing white gym socks and flip flops in November. Apparently it’s fashionable these days but really he just looks like a bellend.

We'll be Tier 3 when this lockdown ends.

I'd be stunned if Johnson wouldn't kick the north-west to make London feel better about Tier 2 or whatever.

The only region with an R number below zero

Here's hoping our leaders show a bit of backbone for once

Someone posted earlier, that the progress Liverpool have made with the mass (ish) testing is a perfect way for the Govt to use that as an example to the rest of the country. Fits their levelling up thing, and having Everton/Liverpool games with a handful of fans in is a powerful image.

No idea about Manchester mind.

Tier 2 I'd guess for Liverpool for reason you've said.

By putting the city in tier 3, they are effectively saying their mass testing wasn't much of a success. Governments don't tend to do stuff like that, but who knows what the plan is.

From what I can see, the cases have dropped quite a lot recently so tier 3 probably isn't proportionate any way.

Looks more like a butch ladyboy than a sex tourist tbh.

I wish the argument about mental health was considered by the same people who complain about it re lockdown when they were considering bringing in the gig economy, agency labour, screwing everyone’s pension and generally cutting the welfare bill, social support and so on. Things that really did cause people to kill themselves.

Certainly there’s a financial component in addition to social. It all needs to be considered both now and after covid is under control. Mental health as a whole is overlooked by our society in general, seemingly because you can’t see it or measure it as easily as physical illness. It’s a major problem and has been forever, yet outlets and quality care so minimal.

no way they will put Liverpool in Tier 2. I'd be shocked if hardly anywhere is below tier 3

wait.. so if you are in tier 1 at xmas. You can meet 5 other people in the pub on xmas day but you can't go to the pub with 5 if they are in your xmas bubble?

how does that make sense???

Tier 2 will still mean pubs shut. Basically that pleases hardly anyone, unless you're a restaurant goer.

Tier 2 isn't all pubs shut.
