Are we seriously at the point where someone has to ask the government to tell us how many people have been tested, rather than the government saying how many tests have left the warehouse?

Seriously?

He's already got a deal over the line in no time when most said he couldn't. Whether you voted in or out he's moved the process along from its inertia.

You must have been reading different news from me then as all the papers are saying that currently we have no deal and if anything we've gone backwards with "no deal" being odds on favourite now i.e. chaos at the ports, supply chain issues and price increases.

As far as I can tell, there's been nothing other a grandiose gesture on Boris's behalf to say that we're definitely leaving (at some time in the future)  but absolutely no progress whatsoever in negotiating future trade arrangements - only to be expected if you promise people they'll get what's on their wishlist rather than what's actually on the table.

But if they feel they need to take two tests then how is that akin to putting them in the bin? It’s really not in reality is 

i wonder if pigeonhole principle or some other weird thing has them doing two. 

dunno how or why . but it must be summat .

I think outside normal school hours you're expected to make your own arrangements

Which, to a point, is fair enough

My badly made point was that we are allowing these essential staff access to schools as daytime childcare in order that the essential work is covered. We’re  also saying that a person from one household can’t visit another or be visited by another. So no childcare by relatives or even an after-school type business.
My point was who looks after the kids if the schools are closed? The work is no less essential so staying at home for the six week holidays isn’t an option.

Yes but don’t forget the passports and making all our own laws! #independent coastal state.

I know

I'm just thinking many working families depend on schools being open

The fact their normal summer plans are out of the window will prob loom large in the headlights of this govt the day before the end of term

Somebody posted that yesterday

I actually had some sympathy for him

The silly cow on next who openly admitted making her own rules was more annoying 

Not really

If you don't think it's a good idea for people to do it, don't do it

Like this woman who drove 90 mins to the beach then couldn't believe all the people the flouting the rules

Nah, I'm led by the govt, too

It's reasonable to think they know what the fuck they are doing

Perhaps that's a bit naive

Well aye, from that point of view the government messaging has been ambiguous and vague

So it's no wonder

But these People all seem to understand but don't think it applies to them

No, you're just being ignorant or obtuse. Or both.

You did watch the TV at some point presumably, when parliament voted in the withdrawal bill. The same one the EU also voted in. The one which was agreed after protracted negotiation between both parties.

The one which allowed both parties to start trade negotiations.

Now then, if a trade deal isn't agreed, then that in my view wouldn't be a good thing, but I believe it will be. Even if it's one that forms a skeleton, which has meat added later.
