Safe enough to go to school should be safe enough to board

All schools could, and should, be going back, I agree.

Nonsense.
 

Hell of a difference socially distancing kids in a classroom that operates on a rota system than in a Full dormitory. 

and I don’t think kids should be going back yet. If it wasn’t for childcare issues of parents wanting to get back to work I don’t think many would send them back

Tweet didn't embed for some reason.

Anyway, it's New York Times who have been looking at how Sweden is faring with their no lockdown approach. Their deaths are 27% higher than average, which puts them mid table, way behind the leaders on 67%.

No prizes for guessing who is top.

They don’t have dorms. The posh little twats have their own room at Boris’s old school

I didn’t have my own bedroom until I left home. 
 

Anyroad, you’re spot on for the reasons they want kids back at school. 

It's heartwarming to see the turnaround this crisis has brought about in some...

Folk who couldn't have give less of a fuck for others previously now showing a social conscience; What about the children's education? Social mobility will be compromised for years...People will die in droves of poverty alone!

Fucking disengenuous c*nts - I'd have more respect for them if they said (like Mick wrote):

"Get back to work you scruffy oiks - my portfolio is taking a real bashing here..."*

 

* "until I can redirect funds into sommat that capitalises upon the outbreak..."

I can't understand why folk from the northwest are so riled by the Mayor of London...

Do we know if [Sadiq] Khan's dad is still knocking about even, let alone if he dyes his hair?

Aye, baffles me as well. It can’t be that he’s from the Labour Party as I just don’t see the vitriol that he gets coming the way of Andy Burnham, a folk people can vote for in Gtr Manchester, and a former Labour frontbencher. I wonder what it could be?

A lot of the Twitter feeds of the most vocal anti-Khanites share a common theme, they also highlight stories from the press about certain scumbags who've broke the law or deviated from society's mores...

Nowt wrong with that, a scumbag's a scumbag.

They all tend to be a certain type of scumbag though.

Our David Jack?

Quite remarkable that only 29% of Labour voters support getting people back to work #Covid19

As I say, the hyporicsy is actually breathtaking, and I couldn't give a shit about his power....he's not the big cheese one bit like Pegleg says, the Chinese are the real deal.

UK imports, exports, and gets massively more investment from US than anyone else. China are well down the list for us. We have more cultural, defence, intelligence, scientific, industrial, financial ties with US than any other country, apart from Germany in a few cases. US economy  has the biggest external effect on UK

No one really gets riled, certainly not like bolty does over his detractors

Most of it is because an odious businessman has found himself in a role of a politician and is bumbling along in the powerful job in the world, and he gives us something to laugh at almost daily

That's not hypocritical, not as far as I'm concerned anyway, as Sadiq Kahn rarely does anything comical

No shit sherlock and you jump instantly all over Trump.

Amazing how no one on here has dared to mention a person saying "you won't catch the coronavirus on tfl"

Like I say.....staggering hypocrisy......would you please remind me of the death rate comparison of TFL employees and NHS workers ?

Another one.

Certainly upsetting the clique

I can't see a lot of parents sending their kids in...

It might have been better to extend it to parents who can't work from home, but then they doesn't help the most vulnerable children
