There's a lot of talk about Scots travelling FROM Scotland to England, flying out to wherever and back again with no quarantine requirements, then back to Scotland to get round  Scottish restrictions, but no-one seems to be considering that English people could be doing the same, just without travelling from Scotland to start with, then VISITING Scotland. Both ways could bring the virus into England and Scotland alike!

Not meaning this as a Scotland v England thing, but just that these things work both ways.

What do you want to do badly enough to risk your life?

Go to the pub? Send your kids to school? Shop for a t-shirt?

People are crazy

Totally agree Saint. However I believe they are going to re-start fining parents  who DON'T send their children to school, once the new term starts!

I think that will lose them all the support that helped them win the Election

They can't guarantee safety for children and then they're offering fines/prosecution if you want to safeguard your child

Just to make you go back to work ... cos the economy is more important than your child

Madness

Now that IS FUNNY.........

This morning Grant Schapps was speaking about the opening up of countries and travel to and from. He was also asked about the opening up of pubs on Saturday, Schapps quoted Boris who apparently said that he was hoping that people would be sensible. Is this the same 'sensible' which resulted in numerous 'lockdown raves' and gatherings in London and Manchester culminating in some deaths.

How deluded must Boris and his cabinet be if they think people are going to be sensible with a bunch of drinks inside themselves on a Saturday night.  Let's see what the headlines are like on Sunday morning.

This lot annoy me. Mixed and inconsistent messages IMO.

This lot, could be any lot at this moment in time.

Some big wig/ fat cat from the air industry ( or something Heathrow) was on tv this morning praising grant shatts to the hilt, practically gloating over the direction bodge it Boris was now taking 🤬🤬

One easy tip for reopening the economy. Look at what US did. Do opposite.

It's truly shameful that that sort of phrase was once a joke phrase and used in comedy sketches, but now it's a serious piece of advice!

Doesn't let them or hypothetical others off. We are where we are - it's shambolic. And it's this lot atm    

Speaking as a Scot, where easing lockdown is being handled better than down south,  Sturgeon has no fear of holding a daily briefing either:  "contract tasting"

Too late now. The common govt. theme

Posting again

Fl now the only state apart from NY to post a daily total higher than 10,000, twice now, and today’s total is only 200 lower than the all time high posted by NY.

The death figures are total manipulated garbage. 

Sounds rather familiar 

Stay safe Roxan

You too Baz. It’s just incomprehensible to me that such a massive tragedy is occurring here and nobody is doing anything about it!

We aren’t much better off here either Roxan....it seems the inmates have taken over the asylum !

Johnson, what were you thinking, you absolute lunatic Pandemic, what pandemic!!!!

Appalling Dame .....but it was always going to happen ....and if we could see it coming then surely the powers that be should be able to

Sheer lunacy opening pubs, my sister tells me it is still emergency medical appointments only but they open pubs. Makes me so angry they have done this. Haven’t they seen the result of that here?

Why lock down at all I feel you are going to open so irresponsibly?

Exactly Roxan !

Sadly it is all about the 'Money, money, money' as the song goes....... and the shame is, the 'guinea pigs' allowed out in the trials to 'sup and nibble' will pass on their 'nibbling' to others.

I think the worst thing I have heard coming out of the imbeciles mouth so far, is to blame care homes for the excessive deaths of the elderly. 

Missed the first five Cobra meetings, didn't work weekends, had two country breaks, sent patients into care homes without testing first. How dare he put the governments incompetence onto care homes, but at least he managed to string a sentence together to make someone else the fall guy. 🤡

Apparently he meant that the care homes didn't have the necessarry guidance in time - according to one of the pet poodles!

Comment from HYS, about pubs shutting down:-

I just don't understand these people dying to get to pubs and restaurants, it's like watching them commit suicide in slow motion.

And now research from Spain publically casts doubt on the likelihood of 'herd immunity' EVER being a viable solution!

Hancock, in the HoC has just said "We're getting Covid under control"  Really?  But anyway.....give it a couple of weeks!

That's it Boris, just keep saying what you'd like things to be and if you say it often enough and loud enough a few naive people might actually start to believe you!

P.S. I know it was Hancock who actually spoke the words this time round, but Boris is the one who is (nominally) in charge!

Yeah. Ron DeSantis, governor of Florida said the same thing about us yesterday. Is opening all schools in August. Full steam ahead. Says it has stabilized. Thousands line up all night and don’t get tested. Somebody should file manslaughter charges against this total moron.
