Let's not forget Remainers were also completely hamstrung by having Corbyn in charge of the opposition, the useless cunt. He was probably keener on Brexit than Johnson if everyone let their true feelings be known. A competent opposition leader and we would be in a much different place now

Will they move London up to tier 3 as a whole, only the affected boroughs, or drop is down to tier 2? Or of course do nothing?

Blimey, how many people did Kay Burley have at her party?

 

[Alex 35077]

Given it would appear the whole strategy has been focussed on keeping London open it underlines just how incompetent the government are 

[Renton 21608]

It's interesting that the move from tier 2 to tier 3 appears to work mind, suggests pubs do have a fairly large impact.

She's undoubtedly getting a touch of he old Keys/Grey routine...they were waiting for her exceedingly entitled self to step out of line and now we'll never see her again *

 

* maybe a Channel 5 voice-over gig awaits?..

Just as well there won't be 10,000s of Londoners travelling all over the country to see their families for Christmas.

Aye, good point. Loads of the people that live there are from somewhere else.

This is from the Gov.UK site ...

If you are returning to the UK from Belgium, you will need to self-isolate on your return 

So Boris was in Brussels yesterday & has visited Blyth today. There were pictures up of Boris at Blyth beach with Ian Lavery MP they were standing about 2 feet apart with neither wearing a mask. Also there was another picture of him standing outside Coastline Chippy standing right next to a female worker. Again Boris wasnt wearing a mask. Both pictures have now been removed from the internet as they were clearly a breach of government guidelines 

[Meenzer 15524]

If "high-value business travellers" are exempt from the self-isolation rules now, then I imagine the prime minister is too. And masks aren't mandatory outdoors, albeit they're advisable if you're outdoors somewhere crowded. Still, you'd think Johnson's people would be more aware of the optics, especially if he's standing close to people too (which is meant to be not allowed, as you say), but this is the bloke who boasted about shaking hands with everyone at a hospital as the outbreak was taking off so what can you expect.

This has been screamingly obvious all along, and I've gone from rolling my eyes and having a laugh at the good old British need to go out and get sozzled, to being genuinely annoyed at the fact that my life is going to be put on hold for maybe six months longer than it needs to be, all because people can't go without a draught Fosters for a bit longer.

Pretty much everyone I know has cancelled their family visits and is staying in London for once, but there's inevitably an exception or two, and I must admit I'm finding it very hard not to reply to their posts about their travel plans with a tirade of abuse.

Almost everyone tbf. Barely a cockney left

[Meenzer 15524]

Seems to be accepted wisdom that Tier 3 will be announced for London on Wednesday. But possibly not implemented until Saturday, because what we need so soon before the Christmas relaxation is a couple of nights of people socialising as much as they can.

Because they know they can still get a pint and go out for something to eat.

With Brexit looming, it’s imperative that we keep our whites the whitest, so we’re using Persil.

OK, seems the jungle drums were wrong and tonight and tomorrow will be the pub nights. Wiser than making it Thursday and Friday, at least.

[Monkeys Fist 42413]

That’s a bold statement.

Oh, he's too good for us now....

 

Anyway, just listening to Desmond Swayne there on C4 news. He is a genuine lunatic. Ignore doctors and trust your common  sense apparently. 😜

I thought he made a good case about how lockdown isn’t good for mental health and the disastrous effect on the ECONOMY and the damage to the ECONOMY and how it’s going to ruin the ECONOMY.

Certainly didn’t come across as a swivel eyed loon in the least.
