[Diogenes the Cynic]

This is what I’m on about. The rural folk followed all the rules, wore the masks, sanitised the hands, maintained social distancing, sat at a table, no standing up, hardly anyone has Covid .....now in tier 3....

Yes but they feed beefburgers to swans.

I'm beginning to think that Boris Johnson was not the brilliant tactician I thought he was.

Yeah, it's terrible being included into a grouping that doesn't reflect one's locality.

I assume you've changed your stance on Brexit and devolution accordingly?

“Let’s not bother with lockdown, we’ve got plenty of beds for critically ill people to die in”

“Let’s not bother with lockdown, we’ve got plenty of beds for critically ill people to die in”

but thats one of the main reasons given by the Government for lockdown that these areas don't have enough hospital beds... which is now a lie

It's always comforting when a member of parliament knows how to spell "tiers"

 

[peteblue]

I told you never to use that picture of you and me.....

If you go on the Ancelotti thread these could be our next management team.

Get the Oxford vaccine injected into people now. The % doesn't matter as long as its above 50 it will have an impact.

It works enough, get it injected into people.

Every time you question why Ellwood hasn't gone on to better things he reminds you why he hasn't. The MoD could not assist with its medical staff without damaging its ability to be deployed anywhere. It is also questionable how useful they'd be anyway, given that their normal patients aren't usually 50-90 year olds with breathing problems.

Big regional tiers are an unfortunate consequence of people not following instructions. When the Welsh lockdown ended, my parents went shopping to Broughton to get a few things. It was packed with English people who couldn't shop over the border because their shops were closed, so they went to Wales where the shops were open. Now the Welsh infection rate is going back up.

Boris Bone head ,3rd of Feb no more tiers how can he say that has the virus told him nuts
Surely it's too early to predict that even with the vaccine starting to be rolled out
