Exactly that.

Right. Just to be clear, you are saying that the Tories had a deliberate plan to send in kids to all schools to transmit Covid between themselves and to their teachers and then lock these people in to infect their families? That's your claim?

Going slightly further off topic, but there was a programme on 6 Music on New Year's Day which was a discussion with Brian Eno (who I would not expect is a Covid expert) and Brian Cox (ok, physics, but definitely a scientist). Cox made the point that countries which had done "best" had female...

There's a big, big difference between supporting Boris per se and supporting the measures brought in last night. I fully support what he has done last night and, guess what, so do Starmer (and Krankie) because they were also suggesting / doing it. If anything I agree that it was all a day late...

Where did you get those figures from out of interest? Only those in exam years were supposed to go into secondary schools and Primaries were closed throughout the South East, including my daughter's school. Then very many had inset days planned anyway to either create the online learning plan...

This. I will be watching with my lad and only with him. We're not even meeting up with our bubble this time. Being stuck at home is bad enough. Being stuck at home with endless repeats of Pawn Stars and socially distanced panel games isn't even worth thinking about.

Starmer - we should lock down Unions - schools should not reopen Johnson does neither and is reviled (and possibly kills thousands and renders schools un-openable due to staff sickness levels) Starmer - we should lock down Unions - schools should not reopen Johnson does both and is roundly...

:clap2:

I think Dazza has it fairly much nail on the head. There is a need for constant flexibility. He's basically fallen in line with the proposition of Starmer and the teaching unions. We should be celebrating that, no?

Thanks. I find it beyond frustrating that people focus in on what Boris was saying 48 hours ago and not what he did tonight. Surely if he opposed their view then, and changed his mind now, then they won and the right thing has been done.

Yep. Whatever he did before, Boris has acted correctly this evening and Starmer has been just as statesmanlike in openly backing him on his BBC interview. Now Brexit is done I'd really like to see them working together in unity to get vaccines rolled out and keep economic and educational...

Yep. Google how many broke Christmas and New Year guidelines.

My paragraph one suggests I'm happy with the end result which is EXACTLY the same decision Starmer wanted. None of what I wrote suggests Boris has done a great job, merely that he's reacted to the cards dealt. You can put "eventually" in brackets if you want. I won't argue much.

No it isn't. Where did Boris Johnson INSTRUCT people to socialise at Christmas? If you were concerned, you should not have. End of.

Small number of games called off due to bellendry by players that is now socially unacceptable country wide - no more Tier confusion. Small number suggests most games are safe Called off suggests it's not being treated lightly. Football really isn't the problem.

At the risk of sounding like my father, if Boris told you to jump off a cliff....?

Sorry mate, disagree. Watching outside your household or bubble is illegal but it wasn't compulsory in Tier 2 and was also illegal in Tier 4. Keep the sport. It was the biggest miss for me in lockdown 1.

This. Should be easier for elite players to be isolated into work bubbles with full lockdown and much needed entertainment for those stuck at home to keep them indoors. Right decision for me.

Perfectly happy with all of this. Lockdown much needed. Vaccine signalling the beginning of the end. A couple of months of home working, running and time with the kids while we get it sorted. As much as I am not a Boris fan in general, no one could have predicted the precise mutation in the...
