I'd be up for pints with @Renton. Couple days of no quiff and he's on the edge again. Come on mate, come back. I'll get the first round mate

Oh Fuck. Thanks for cheering me up. 

 

 

In all seriousness, you MF and PL seem to be mates. You're like money pyrhon,  the guys from Royston vasey, or Nev, Dennis and Oz (you're the latter ). If you guys get together sometime, let me know, so I can make a beeline to the other part of town. 👍

If you’re counting me as Nev or Dennis you can fuck your pint.

There's a resemblance no doubt and not just the accent. (Vicky obviously not the current Mrs PL these days).

Sage warns freedoms may only last for WEEKS amid surging Delta cases as Boris Johnson tells Britons NOT to get 'demob happy' when he relaxes (almost) all the rules in 'Big Bang' July 19 reopening.

 

7 weeks of the school holidays spend like buggery boost the economy. Because there's a good chance we'll be in Lockdown by September. Boris wasn't shy in stating we will probably be seeing 50k new infections a day by July 19th. Its not unrealistic to think we could be close to 150/200k new infections a day by the beginning of September. At the minute people seem to think the low hospitalisations & death rate from the virus are ok. But as we know there's a 3 week lag. What we are seeing at the moment is when new infections were roughly 6k a day. If Boris's prediction of 50k a day new infections is right. Then by early August we will be seeing hospitalisations & death rates increase by 8 times what we are seeing now. If the trend continues by the end of September beginning of October we could well be seeing those figure overrunning the NHS. Obviously that's the worst case scenario but entirely realistic. We just have to hope the vaccines work & people are sensible when everything opens back up. Just as an aside, it wouldn't surprise me if the UK new daily  infections are higher than the rest of Europe put together at the minute. Stay safe everyone.

Let’s all play - Blame the public

I still can't get over how absolutely reckless it is to get rid of face masks. It's such a minor inconvenience but removing the requirement endangers so many people who have no say in it.

[Dr Gloom 19824]

it won't las long. Israel, which is a few months ahead of us, re-introduced mandatory mask-wearing soon after their great unlocking

[Alex 30409]

might be wrong but I get the feeling most of the ‘hard’ people are already not bothering / claiming they’re exempt anyway. This is just the latest farcical chapter in our handling of this crisis 

[trooper 940]

With potentially 50k new daily  infections, 7 weeks school holidays, predicted red hot weather beaches & parks rammed full. What could possibly go wrong. 

[Dr Gloom 19824]

it's all part of the herd immunity strategy. seems pretty obvious they want the youngsters to get it now the elderly, vulnerable and middle aged are protected. it's a high risk approach

I was on the tube last Friday and as well as noting the "seat gap" rules were now being ignored compared with a month ago, of the six people sitting opposite me, 4 were rocking the mask not covering their nose look so I think there's a tendency towards non-compliance anyway. 

 

In general I think they've miscalculated in thinking everybody will embrace "normality" and the economy will be boosted - a lot of nervous/sensible people will simply not go into shops or bars with no masks or distancing if they feel uncomfortable and it could actually reduce footfall.

UK cases could hit 100,000 a day this summer, Sajid Javid admits. Another bit of reassurance from this clown

As ill-advised as the government's approach is, we need to be careful not to demonise beaches, parks and other outdoor spaces, given what we've learned about transmission and ventilation in the meantime.

Maybe David Icke is right after all and it’s because the virus doesn’t affect reptiles.

The stupidity if your ruling class gets more absurd every day.

Remember the police being called to Bournemouth beach last summer due to overcrowding.
