COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[True_Blue69]

Stockport is tier 2 as far as I'm concerned. Not that any restaurants or pubs will be open but I'll just drive 2 miles down the road to where they are.

 

[HelloCity]

You know what I really hate about modern life?

The way some people treat government decisions as though they’re a decision made by their favourite football team.

The decision might be bad for you personally or those that you know but because you voted for them and got them in office you have to defend that decision to your hearts content.

That guy who is batting for you and fighting for your rights? Well, he’s on the other side so everything he says is wrong.

As if dying is less important. No job and alive or dead but I had a job, I know which I would choose.

The problem with that is you are very unlikely to die of Covid but the affects of losing your job and not being able to support yourself or your family could lead to serious hardships.

Hancock just blamed local leaders who did not cooperate for numbers going up unlike in Liverpool.
.

Ha! See my post directly above yours for the reason why.

This govt is incompetent, cowardly and corrupt. It's only raison d'être is its own survival, and they have no scruples as to how to achieve that.

There's an almost FA Cup style draw feeling regarding this tier announcement..

Will there be any shock tier levels announced?

Trafford is actually far lower than most of Merseyside. Anyone living there should be really teed off.

 

[HelloCity]

So please list his major achievements during his time as Mayor.

I’d rank his work with the homeless and children higher than anything our Goverment has done for the vulnerable in over 10 years.

Why?
It's obvious we will be in 3 and London will be 2.
It's like a different country in the South.

Except the numbers were already falling in Liverpool before they did.

Might as well as said "Fuck you Andy Burnham"

 

[Phil1]

The Government are basically calling for unrest by Blaming local leaders for these decisions.
Fucking shame on anybody who defends them, the shower of utter cunts.

Johnson? He's batting purely for himself. His entire life shows an utter disregard for the consequences of his actions on others, whether personal or political.

[Edit - just realised I got the wrong end of the stick on your post, which was about Burnham rather than Johnson]

 

[Manc Born & Bred]

yes, and i'm sure you've got the money to be out of a job for a bit, unlike all those on the breadline who are fucked without one

I am not saying I have far from it. My work has been massively impacted and I have had fuck all support throughout. I am lucky if you want to call it that, that I have lost both my parents and I was left a little bit of money. Without that I would have been on the breadline. It wasn't a lot but has made things slightly easier. Getting a refund on my season card was also a huge help. But I would rather have been on the breadline and alive than dead. Let's agree to disagree.

Homelessness and begging seems worse then ever to me in the City Centre.

Gutted re tier 3 - was so looking forward to a bit of normality. Feel for the hospitality trade.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Sorry to hear about your business Tolmie. Yes it’s been a pisstake. I’ve had sweet FA off the Government and little income but I was still paying a tax return (this week) albeit for peanuts.

The London first policies of the Government have been very evident.

Same here pal, no help but decided to take the bounce back loan.

Irony, I didn't want to spend it all before making a decision on the business, so it is now going to be paying my liquidator.

Thankfully, the business doesn't owe anybody but me and the bounce back.

Cashflow will always be the killer and even media outlets are holding on to monies for more than six weeks.

Fuck the lot of 'em. I'm entitled to directors' redundancy from the government and won't be liable for Corp tax now, which will be a massive relief.

I will revert to sole trader status to manage what money is coming in a little better.

Just listened to that dick Duncan Smith try to justify London and its boroughs.

 

[MillionMilesAway]

Figures rising all over London but only in Tier 2 whilst figures decreasing in Greater Manchester but still in Tier 3. What North / South divide? Liverpool only dropped tiers for co-operating...

It is not true that all over London is rising. 18/32 boroughs are falling.

This doesn't mean the tiering is right though.

 

[andyhinch]

I’d imagine the pubs in Cheshire will be busy next weekend

I might pop into my local once or twice ;-)

 

[ganganvince]

Would you honestly rather stick up for this corrupt government than yourself? Do you live in Manchester?

Cheshire West. Not buying or selling simple fact that 2 week delay was criminal he should have complied and talked money later.

 

[shemnel]

cases per 100k, 7 day moving average, up to 20/11. Manchester vs London

Yeah, it’s a fucking joke that we’re locked into tier 3.

 

[hammocity]

Twat Hancock now blowing smoke up Dippervilles arse, these are the cunts that completely ignored government rules during the summer and only last week had an anti lockdown march that resulted in several arrests. The numbers have come down but GM will be a week behind, let's see if we go into level 2 around the 16th December, I doubt it very much but hey ho let's not upset the dippers, keep praising them and eventually give Merseyside the George Cross for their part in beating the pandemic, wankers.
