Lad at work (working from home though) bairn sent home from nursery as another kid's has tested positive, but only the kid has to isolate not the whole family ???? (seems strange/daft) Also things seem to be slowing up here: Compared to last week:

Should be prosecuted

From a a lad at work: "found out yesterday that my cousin was fuming at her ex-husband recently, apparently he felt ill with coronavirus symptoms just before xmas but he still went to his parents for xmas and his new wife's parents (who have illnesses) for boxing-day... subsequently his father-in-law has now died and his mother-in-law is in hospital... when he found out he was tested positive he said to his son (also my cousin's son) that he'd pop round the next day to see him... my cousin told him exactly where to go of course, it's no wonder the virus is spreading with people like that"

Vaccination update - Mother in Law (age 84 with COPD), second vaccination postponed "indefinitely" Sister in Law works in care sector, 2nd Jab same. De Pfeffel's serial rule breaking cunt of a dad has had his 2 though so that's OK.

What concerns me (doomsday scenario) given the virus is rampant in this country (thanks inept Gov't) it is way more likely to keep generating mutations, if one comes along that is resistant, (and there is an E strain - can't recall the numbers that follow E - that it's not known yet if it is vaccine resistant or not.) rest of world would be well advised to shut us off until it was eradicated - easily done as we are an island after all - but there seems zero eradication policy in sight.

Here's your guy https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-55577426

Yes it would EDIT, actually no it wouldn't !!!

Propaganda is the new truth !!!

Pharmacies give the flu jab and evidently they offered to do same for Covid (via whatever association the have) and have had in response .............. tumbleweed Can't have anything getting in the way of tory mates and their logistical prowess earning a crust

Blitz spirit = record levels of crime, looting, rape and the black market (it'll happen soon enough)

That's because flights/ferries/border are not within her powers to control as they are not devolved issues as I understand it.

Going back to March, clear communication and explicit published information on the rules (no 3 word bullshit guidelines), based on my experiences when I managed to get up there, observance of said rules and organisiation in shops etc. was so much better than down here, given the constraints of being tied to Westminster in many things, I reckon they've done as well as they could, if she'd had the power she'd have shut to border way back for all non-essential traffic/travel, as they should have. IMO of course.

It's funny ain't it, useless Blonde Cunt is PM with his band of arseholes and still folks take the piss out of someone who has shown some actual leadership

Thank you for your comments/thoughts guys. It was actually quite cathartic to write. We have counselling available (and are taking advantage) through my work healthcare (work have been tremendous - even my yank bosses!!) I really just want to emphasise the message, there was no discernable reason for this (notwithstanding my lockdown belief) and Dan was the most positive, laughter inducing person I ever knew and he exhibited zero sign anything was wrong to anyone, no-one has any recollection of anything being strange, or off, at any time. (I know none of you knew him, but you have to trust me on this - he was such a lover of life, never phased by adversity or ever visibly down he was an utter joy to be around), We have now found out one of Dan's best mates (since they were 4 yr old) was in a really bad place 2 years or so ago, and it was solely Dan who worked on him and talked him down FFS, " he saved my life" as he puts it and he's now yet another person destroyed by this. It's extremely scary in it's simplicity - if this was in Dan it is in everyone so never assume anyone, even yourself, is OK, assume they are not, and work from there and look out for everyone. Thanks again guys P.S. Since Dan did this, over 750 other families have started upon, and are enduring, the same journey we are now on, and that will be rising at around 18+ a day, every single fucking day, many, like us, will be totally oblivious to anything being wrong. Not all, by any stretch, who do this is are pissed up druggies or financially destroyed, marriage ended people with a host of problems that can make you think "I can sort of understand it". There is no understanding it. P.P.S Woman who works with my sister in law rang work last week, in bits, and saying she couldn't come in because one of her son's best friends had done this 3 days earlier, was found by another mate and she'd just found out the mate who found him had then done same the night before. It's close and it's everywhere.

This is not a post looking for condolence (there is none) nor is it intended to be any form of eulogy, I simply want to make/issue a warning. On Friday 13th November my youngest son (aged 33) took his own life and I found him. There was nothing even remotely bad in his life, he was married to the girl he’d been with since they were 17, he had a secure job, he had no debts, they were looking to start a family. There is no reason that comes anywhere near close to justifying why he did this. (not that any ever does). Except I have a theory. Daniel thrived in company and socialising, gigs etc. the local, or anywhere there were people. Daniel was as his elder brother has put it was, a people collector, we knew he was popular but he had so many friends it has astonished us (we got over 300 messages of support/condolence when we announced it social media for those we hadn’t or couldn’t reach personally, some from folks he’d met once or twice 5-10 years ago). Just about every message was either “devastated”, “gutted” or “never in a million years, not Dan”. There were dozens and dozens at his funeral all stood in the rain and the cold as only 10 allowed in chapel. What was the one thing that Dan lost this year? that would be his social interactions, even his job became work from home so he lost his office “craic”. He was the archetypal “life and soul of the party” and there was absolutely zero sign anything was wrong with him or that he was down in any way. Dan was the family Mr Positive, everything was great etc etc Even through lockdown we saw him/them at least twice a week. On that that Friday he was talking to his mum about her helping them with their decorations the next day. We finally got the coroners report Friday just gone, he was not pissed and he had no drugs or anything else in his system. What I am trying to say is, if this can happen to Dan, it can happen to any one of us. I will go to my grave believing that lockdown killed Dan, something ate away at him slowly and gradually, we never saw it and I doubt he did, I suspect he had an itch he couldn’t identify or scratch, if he did he was, it must be said, a mental health doubter “man up FFS” sort of person, so probably thought he could deal with it, until he couldn’t, and he broke. We have since heard about so many others. It is NOT ok out there. Please, please keep an eye on each other, don’t assume everyone is “happy and normal” ask people if they are OK, especially those who are “life and soul” types because it seems that a significant proportion of victims of this were “never seen without a smile on their face”. I hope the message is clear and if so please pass it on.

Which one is the vaccine in ???

Really !!!

He might, if it was pink with blinged up hardware

Is this weekend too early to put Christmas decorations up ?? Feck all else to do

John Redwood hasn't certified you as a British fish, Fish

66 million-ish population divided by 5000 = 13200 days = 36 years (and you need 2 jabs 2 weeks apart) so 72 years

Trumpist tactics

Not surprised. Wash your hands and don't type and shit will help.

Do you enjoy having your butler watch you shit ??

Plans you say !! So when we can't get a vaccine it'll be the remainer's fault, probably sums it up. If this thing actually does work, there's going to be a bun fight for it, I wouldn't be surprised if they adopt an "EU first" supply policy, especially when initial supplies are limited and if we fuck them over with torn up treaty and no-deal. (Which would then be the EU's fault and a Tory plan B to the above)
