Slow news day, or end of the world?

”Aggressive” new variant has landed in Moscow. Makes people, even those that have been vaccinated, more poorly than previous types.

Time for Uncle Joe to push the button? Short term pain.

Something poetic about Javid getting the lurgy...

Stands up and says the war is over and on the eve of his VC (Victory Covid) Day he catches a bullet 🙂

 

I’m all for cracking on as best we can.

I even think Boris is doing the right thing in lifting restrictions.

And then he simply reverts to type and takes a massive shit on 100,000’s of people who are self isolating. He’s loathsome, shite at his job and an embarrassment.

CON (+17)

I'm worried that you might explode when they put us back in lockdown again in September

🤣

Nah, It's so obvious we're going back into lockdown in the autumn / winter. There's no chance we're not. 

But this data is out there, from the government, for people to see.

Fear porn from the media about variants that get less deadly as they mutate.

Crack on!

54k cases 

That should start to increase this week 

Nowt really changes for me tomorrow other than being able to go to the sauna 

And am at a beer festival next weekend 

So if I'm going to get it then it's due soon 

Twitter reckons the plan is to flood the hospitals again to demonstrate the NHS isn't fit for purpose so they can privatise it

Tomorrow has rings of science fiction pre-apocalypse hedonism... bit like where the 4 minute siren goes off and you neck that bottle of vodka and shag the nearest creature... we know its coming and can do sod all about it so just carry on

Yep. My lad has to isolate because his teacher tested positive at 2pm on Friday. An hour from it not being an issue. 

He obviously can't go to school next week but after reading that this morning I'm sending him out licking door handles and spitting at pensioners first thing Monday morning.

Having his cake and eating it... the rules are for the oiks not those pre-destined to govern

The Boris shaggers will love it.

How long can they maintain the lie that this government is fit for purpose?

I often joke that in my working day I have to defend the indefensible but this lot are well above my league... they're in the outer stratosphere

Load of pandemic experts on here. 

Fuckin special.

Government U turn. 

The shithouses are now isolating. 

It's fucking laughable.

More than we have in Downing Street, it would seem…

Apparently the trials only open to Government employees..

Knew they were doing something in NHS with daily tests 

The quickest ever turn around once they've realised how their decision could be interpreted. Which was for me that they are elitist bum boys and can do what they want and fuck the plebs.

I can’t believe they’ve melted and made such a rapid u turn, the spineless fuckers.

Boooo

Carrie must have told him it’s not a good look when everyone else gets pinged they isolate he won’t have come up with it by himself.

Set of cunts.

Nothing about being a pandemic expert... just an expert on recognising bullshit. Early on B'astard Johnson missed Cobra meetings as he was writing an autobiography on Shakespeare, it obviously rubbed off on him as he has turned his government into a Shakespearean comedy.

You gotta laugh.. if you didn't you'd cry. They seem to operate on 3 levels, shit. absolutely shit to mind blowingly shit

Country is ran by some of the most incompetent insufferable bumbling hypocritical morons you are ever likely to find on allahs green earth and what is even more laughable is there is no credible opposition anywhere close to the capital

Whilst they've chosen not to take part in the pilot I can confirm if pinged before August 16th I'll test every day rather than isolate

So what time does the pandemic end today?

I walked into our village shop today without a mask, and he promptly told me I'd have to put on a mask if I wanted serving, which I was happy enough to do, but no doubt some folk will decide to complain about it

They did have the option of just isolating in the first place.

Not that anybody else has an “option” to isolate or not.

No idea what point you are making.
