There isn't a valid reason. This problem is, I'm afraid, down to Boris. Boris, although a true-blue Tory, is also an uber-libertarian, and there is one word which is absolute anathema to him; pure poison, and one which he (and the prats who won't wear a mask) would like to see removed from the...
Couldn't agree more - been saying the same thing myself for months (including in several posts on NSC!)
'Don't like wearing a mask' is not a reason for exemption - in fact there should be no exemptions. 'Wear a mask or f*** off home and stay there' should be actively enforced, with penalties...
Yes, I'm sure you wouldn't - and neither would I. But the majority suffering for a selfish minority? That's often the way. Take Covidiots for instance .... 'I don't want to wear a mask 'cos I'm against Boris, innit' - 'cos, I mean, 'cos I'm like an individual, free spirit an' all that - rules...
In case you hadn't noticed (or in case your sense of outrage blinded you to the facts) this country had voted for Brexit, and voted in the only government that was committed to delivering it months before Covid came galloping over the horizon.
Now, we understand some people (more than most on...
Like keeping schools open .............................. He changed his mind - so according to some that makes him look and sound like a leader. Another person who does the same thing looks like he needs to comb his hair.
So two rival politicians have both changed their minds and now agree -...
Harry - you're making the very wrong - and if I may say so, slightly foolish assumption, that everybody who doesn't support the 'Boris is a clown, he's done everything wrong, everybody in the rest of the world has done better, and frankly my mother's friend's goldfish could have done better'...
So one political leader changes his mind and now supports the government line looks and sounds like a leader, whilst another politician who changes his mind following expert scientific and medical advice looks like he needs to comb his hair? Well, at least I'm sure you're not allowing your...
Tier 4 is a geographical area. Shielding as such doesn't apply as it did in the March lockdown. In the last lockdown people like myself who were asked to shield first time round were merely asked to remain extra careful
The inference that anybody voted for Coronavirus, or that Coronavirus has anything to do with Brexit, is a prime candidate for the most pathetically stupid thing that has ever been posted on NSC. If you want to carry on bleating about Brexit, and trying to bring it up in every discussion about...
Hopefully this time round the uber-libertarian Boris will be forced by wiser heads to make the restrictions compulsory, with sanctions that will be enforced (and without the police being allowed to say they are too busy!).
I wonder if the numerous mockers and sneerers on NSC would instantly solve the problem of Covid should they somehow become (gawd help us all) PM overnight?
