Coronavirus in the UK - news, lockdown and discussion

[Miss-Shelf]

I am furious that this wilfully delayed decisions prevented parents [of school age children] and education professions and some local authorities and unions from having a mental or emotional rest over the holiday

What's the obsession Johnson and Handcock have with saying "getting jabs into arms"

 

[maomao]

He just said to half term

'start opening' after half term. i reckon mixed delivery from late feb if we're lucky

 

[flypanam]

so schools closed until mid feb?

 

[Ax^]

do they hold heads at that the point of a gun at the bbc

"forthright message from the PM"

 

[cupid_stunt]

Clowns to the left of me!
Jokers to the right!
Here I am stuck in the middle with you.

to start with.

something something annoying pricks something

 

[teqniq]

i am glad you lot can bear to watch the clown and report back here.

 

[Mation]

You'll likely never hear me say this about the clown again, but that was actually reasonable, given where we are now.

Tilting the odds against covid and towards the british people

Why does he always say this sort of stupid shit?

 

[T & P]

Sounded like it. Thank fuck, and I know it will be hugely inconvenient to many parents

 

[maomao]

minimum

though online delivery will be more organised than it was in March. Even my Y1 daughter's school has told us they expect her to spend 3 hours a day at home learning. Unfortunately my wife will stress herself out trying to make this happen when she is already well ahead on reading and maths.

 

[maomao]

Oh Kieth's on now. Not sure I can deal with this many massive cunts in this short a period of time.

Unlike the press conference format, these speeches from a desk are mercifully brief.

His voice was a bit hoarse in places today.

Pre-watershed to, I’m writing to Ofcom

I thought that, too.
That was the most unsettling thing of all. Him actually admitting that we're rightly in the clarts.

Fair wind in our sails or something too...

 

[LDC]

Pleased though, it's what was needed. Six or so weeks is it, mid-February. Going to be a grim six weeks.

 

[Supine]

Alcohol takeaway and delivery sales to be banned until mid Feb

Problem is it was reasonable given where we were in October.

Hostage video vibe.

I asked him for that to help me with doing dry January.

 

[Artaxerxes]

Alcohol takeaway and delivery sales to be banned until mid Feb

That’s a standout and while I’m not bothered it’s going to really fucking piss people off

 

[agricola]

Alcohol takeaway and delivery sales to be banned until mid Feb

in compensation, pubs will be allowed to hide nearly-rude pictures of ladies behind packets of pork scratchings, peanuts and other savouries again

 

[a_chap]

I'm just nipping out to stock up on toilet rolls....

 

[Cid]

Yeah, it is a bit of relief. I am lucky <kind of> in that I have no dependents and am... at home with my own company... though. Have to acknowledge that.

 

[flypanam]

He didn't mention universities though, did he?

 

[neonwilderness]

do they hold heads at that the point of a gun at the bbc

"forthright message from the PM"

Channel 4 have a behavioural psychologist on now sticking the boot in about the government’s mixed messages

Also Jeremy Cunt looking very pleased with himself
