I wonder what the Construction Unions make of their staff being forced to carry on regardless through a lockdown?
I get all the nonsense, economy this, infrastructure that, but it’s wrong imo.
Plenty of Construction workers have to use public transport , sharework vehicles ,facilities , canteens etc and social distancing is near on impossible .
When everywhere opened up again they didn’t have the Brains to bring back people working from home on a staggered basis to help out local businesses who rely on these office workers to survive.
It fucking stinks imo!

but a bubble is one household of multiple people linked with one single person, so why can i not take my 4 year odl to see his grandma whilst her demntia still knows who he is?

A bubble counted anyone in my home mixing with just my mum at her home. That is a bubble.

So does it not now?

The gov description of a bubble =

A bubble is defined as a group of people with whom you have close physical contact.

In England, single adults living alone - or single parents whose children are under 18 - can form a support bubble with one other household.

The second household can be of any size and can include "at risk" people who were previously shielding.

Wherever possible, the government recommends that a support bubble should be with another local household to avoid unnecessary travel.




and i guess i will leave my 4 year old alone at home if mum phones me in a panic, i walk to her home , it's 6 minutes walk away. My partner has call outs and isn't always home while working from home.

My mum is ready to kill herself. and i might bloody join her.

If your Mum is seriously that way then regardless of what the government are saying you do what's best for her. I wouldn't bother asking for advice on here either as they are not in your situation.

our sites are so safe. When they closed down first time I say over a dozen grown men cry. They want to be on site and work.

But it comes a matter of interpretation.

To me my daughters welfare and mental state when suffering from baby blues and feeling lonely and mildly depressed is essential business. I appreciate the authorities may have a different view? In this case surely it should be down to my judgement rather than a broad brush stroke decision?

it is clear ,
  • International travel is banned, except for work purposes

Whether you agree with lockdown or not. If it was going to be done anyway it should have been done sooner allowing it to be shorter.

It should have been done to coincide with half term and half term should have been two weeks for all children. Everything closed. They then had another opportunity at Christmas. Complete shutdown of schools and everything that isn’t essential for a 3 week period. 18th Dec to 11th Jan. let’s face it, who does any work in those weeks anyway, especially in offices and school children don’t do anything other than Christmas related stuff.

Small to medium manufacture in the uk, whilst not exactly flourishing, is certainly bouyant.

If questioned just tell them you were testing your eyesight or some other bollocks. You'll be fine.

But lots of jobs are like that, I have to share a cab and at the minute our job is putting up the high street xmas lights. I am not happy about being in the high street were lots of people dont wear masks and dont obey social distancing.

We all had to get tested on friday as a member of staffs gf and mum and dad have tested positive

i think you'll find you're talking rubbish. i suggest you look at the part where the gov explainm what a support bubble is. It's for my fucking b=mother who wishes she was dead, can barely walk, uses a crutch, has dementia, and lives on her own.

People of ANY age actually who live alone can merge with another fucking household of any fucking size.

My questiosn were does that still count in this 4 week lockdown. I wasn't expecting iidiots to act like it beve fucking happened at all.

Support bubbles: How do they work and who is in yours?

Some people across the UK have been able to form "support bubbles" or "extended households".

[Withdrawn] Making a support bubble with another household

How you can safely expand the group of people you have close contact with during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

So to recap then, she can take that overdose tonight, i wont go round, and then i'll just do one in the morning then my son can find my dead body and go into care. That ok for everyone.

Good bye,

Calm down fella. I wasn’t intentionally talking rubbish, I genuinely thought that’s what I heard the BBC say.

If you’re daft enough to ask an Internet forum (where people in good faith might just happen to have incorrect information) what the score is, when you’re perfectly capable of finding the information yourself by using Google, that’s up to you.

Emergencies are exempt from any Covid restrictions anyway. Don’t panic, all will be good.

So Macmillan are just making it up? Good job you didn’t need an endoscopy either.
“A weekly average of 35 478 endoscopy procedures were performed in the pre-COVID period. Activity in the COVID-impacted period reduced to 12% of pre-COVID levels; at its low point, activity was only 5%, recovering to 20% of pre-COVID activity by study end. Out of hospital cardiac arrests, up by 56% from April, child abuse numbers off the scale, battered women the same, suicides on an ever increasing trajectory, so it’s not all about you, after all.
