He’s a fucking shit cook by the look of it too. Plus if claiming the super cheap, maybe leave the bottle of Sherry and what looks like a gin and tonic out of the shot

I've received the result for my test and I've tested negative!
Great news although I'm still not well so I guess it's just a case of me having flu

The figures in Derby are

Derby to enter tier two restrictions 'imminently' according to our director of public health.

Charnwood (Leics) has the highest rate in the East Midlands yet is still in Tier 1.
I thought the idea of tiers was to make it transparent how you moved into them. It’s all bollocks, cases are flying up everywhere and the country needs to address the increases. If only there was a plan from the scientists weeks ago as to how to halt the rise in cases....

 

[BillyDee]

I think rather than just infection rates other factors are involved such as hospital capacity. But yeah, the idea of clarity and transparency went right out the window...

Schools still giving awards for 100% attendance during a pandemic!

Van Morrison's new song 'No More Lockdown' just appeared on my Spotify Release Radar.

The guy is a fucking nutjob.

south staffs and dudley due to enter tier 2 anytime soon.

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

I’m amazed South Staffs wasn’t already. Is it because Gavin Patridge is the MP that they’ve got away with it so far?

 

[Tredman]

It’s all of staffs entering according to the e&s

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

E&S stating that local leaders are resisting plans for all of the West Midlands to be placed in tier 3. Bristol looks like it will be tier two very soon as well.

This will end up as national soft lockdown by a thousand cuts because nobody centrally wants to tell Alex and Cummings that it is the only thing that will work.

Strongly rumoured that France will go into a form of lockdown for four weeks, Macron on TV tonight. Primary schools to remain open but 7pm-6am curfew and stricter still on weekends.

stepdaughter is planning going out trick or treating.

FFS, what is wrong with people?

 

[Langers]

I'd agree with you regardless of the pandemic.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I’m sure we will get some sweets in just in case but aren’t the police asking people to avoid trick or treat as well as Halloween and bonfire night parties?

 

[PPB]

Can't understand why anyone would want to go trick or treating during these times. For the first time ever on Halloween I won't be opening my door.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Any time.

"Send your kids round to random houses of people you don't know asking for sweets, otherwise they'll chuck stuff at your windows" is a fucking nonsense concept.

Two words here, one of them is "off".

 

[Langers]

Can't understand why anyone would want to go trick or treating. I won't be opening my door.

[Tredman]

tbf on our estate there is an unofficial rule that if you have a pumpkin outside then you welcome trick or treating. On the actual night it is normally really nice and good fun, loads of kids laughing and running around - not happening this year though.

As much as Trick Or Treat is a crock, this is more important:

How teenagers ended up operating crucial parts of England’s test and trace system | George Monbiot

As one whistleblower tells me, a vital public health service is being bungled by private contractors, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Genuinely scandalous. Serco are one of the worst companies on the planet. Yet we hand them untold amounts every single year on stupid contracts.
