The teacher isn't even socially distanced in that photo ffs. She looks like she has her arm around him. I fucking hate this paper, whenever I see someone buy it I despair. I have to say it is usually always old retired twats that have ruined the country. I guess their younger equivalents have the Sun.

acrossthepond 875 Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 I become instantly suspicious of anyone who attacks unions. It suggests to me they've never done a decent day's work in their lives. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was always going to happen with the amount of chancers these days, like you say they probably thought the government wouldn't have the resources to catch them out.

I was amazed at that given what I’ve seen recently. That said, pretty much everyone I know down here has been working from home for more than 2 months? It will be interesting to see what proportion of people have the antibodies once the testing gets done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the shops and pubs didn’t all their shutters down, you would have no clue we were in lockdown. People and traffic everywhere. This past week has felt very different to just a fortnight ago.

Hard to imagine that staying the case for too much longer. I saw a group of six young people having a bbq in the park. Ok, they might all live in the same house share but amazing how the atmosphere has changed since the PM’s address on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
