Not this time EFFT ....it’s all too depressing

Our GP rang re blood tests - I asked about the COVID vaccine.

"Oh we don't know anything about that. We've been given no info at all. Don't expect a vaccine til next year"

I’m not surprised Renton ....I can’t see it being rolled out for a couple of months yet

Gove says "I know that people will use these freedoms responsibly." regarding the relaxing over Christmas.

Really? Well' if the 'responsible behaviour' we have seen with regard to other Rule Changes over the past few months and weeks, we are in for a tough time in the next few months.

I am sick and tired of that gormless idiot's stupid face.  He loves doing what he presumably thinks as his "Churchillian" address to the nation but most of us know he hasn't a clue what he's doing and just loves the limelight.

   So deluded with his "we're all in this together" nonsense. He acts like it's WW2 all over again

An inept approach has left the Police floundering and people confused. And his backing of Cummings has done no end of harm to public co-operation. Gove is just as deluded.

They are all mad, mad, mad...hahahahahaha!!! *runs off waving arms in the air*

Yep. It goes against all logic and sense. Absolutely criminal across all four nations.

A cynic would say electioneering up here, too.

I think all the devolved nations had to go along with the Christmas relaxation because Boris was so set for it to happen, come what may!

Dunno. It doesn't involve financial aid.

I hope those pushing for these Christmas gatherings aren’t going to complain when the case numbers ( and deaths) go up again , and we end up spending January in lockdown !

We've had a letter from the GP saying that they're ready to go when permission given and that they will be inviting people according to age....

Not necessarily.....people would just break the rules anyway, the public hasn't got a good record so far

I was listening to Ken Clarke last night, and he was going on about Churchill and how this is the country's biggest financial crisis since the end of WW2. It was then pointed out to him that it was Labour who dealt with that particular crisis: replacing Churchill and bringing in the Welfare State... 

I’m in Tier 2.....not that it makes much difference to me , cos I’ve been effectively in lockdown since the beginning of March

Lincolnshire is very diverse,  only one city with a university, God’s waiting rooms on parts of the coast, very rural areas, no heavy industry and the largest contingent of mobile homes in Europe

Imagine what tier we will all be in once all the caged students are allowed to travel back home on public transport. And when we are all in tier three because of this the ptb will say it’s because of Christmas.

I just wish someone would realise that taking hundreds of thousands of young people away from their homes and plonking them with hundreds of thousands of other young people will encourage them to behave like, well ...like young people. Why they didn’t send them home at the beginning of this latest lockdown totally confuses me. Whatever has been gained in the last four weeks will be trashed as soon as they are uncaged. And we; normal, law abiding, handwashing, social distancing people will get the blame.

I’m a tad cross!!!

I couldn’t agree more Rexi ......and I’ll go even further and say there was no need for  uni students to go back in the first place , cos with a few exceptions , most courses could easily be taught remotely!

Absolutely spot on Baz. Anyone with any sense will tell them that all courses will be taught remotely from January.

Which obviously means that it will not happen!

Went into lockdown in Tier 2.....came out of it in Tier 2....no change

I don't quite get all the anger and rebellion in England about the tiers, post lockdown. Did anyone seriously think that lockdown would be lifted and you'd all jaunt off merrily to a restriction free world? The virus is still out there and we still have little to no defence!

When Scotland announced it's tiers no area went into the top tier but an awful lot of areas went into the second top tier. After the first review my area went into the top tier and after the second review we remained in the top tier. As with Baz and Kaytee it makes little difference to me as I have effectively been in lockdown since February. Don't see me emerging for a few months yet!

Are you not rushing off to get your 'SUBSTANTIAL' scotch egg sit-down pub meal with alcohol?
