Well if you end up leaving the UK we won't have to subsidise you any more.

Boom

That’s certainly like putting the cat amongst the pigeons

How many would you allow to sit together?

Depends on the room. Theyd have to be apart. Also the age. A room of 80 year olds are possible more vunerable to side effects than a room of 50 odd year olds. Blood doning is usually about 6 or 7 being monitored. At my vaccine trial about 5 at a time

I knew he wouldnt have agreed despites england saying there was totally agreement ,he is being very sensible putting a lockdown into place in advance whereas we havent done that

Someone just calculated that on the rate of week one vaccinations it will only take until sometime in 2038 to vaccinate the nation.

I know its a nonsense stat as numbers will escalate but it puts the good sounding numbers into perspective.

Nonsensical calculation as we know that more and more places where people can be vaccinated will come on stream soon. Only 70 hospitals were offering vaccines this week whereas over the next few weeks thousand of other surgeries, hospitals etc will be involved. There are around 20-25m in the nine groups so far outlined by the government and I expect the vast majority of those will have had both vaccines required by April next year

We are trying to avoid groups of strangers in the same room

He changed his position between his 12.15 prezzer and what was announced about 30 mins ago.

He's Mr Flipflop.

Can't help feeling that Boris has got.this wrong. I was expecting him to say you can still meet with family, but reduce the 5 days to maybe 2/3 days. I think there will.be a big.price to pay come January. It's all the frontline workers I feel sorry for

 

[Blue Maverick]

Have we changed the tiers then?

Downing street said they all agreed on plans , he is scared because of the numbers in wales , he is trying to come up with the safest plans , better than our whishy washey mixed messages

He’s also fucked up the Welsh response and hasn’t a clue what’s going on.

Fire-break then back to normal, then within a few days pubs shut at 6pm then a few days later closed. He’s just grasping at lifelines without knowing which ones lead to safety.

I’ll bet all the Welsh police are happy it’s been made law, just what they wanted to do on Christmas Day was to raid people’s houses.
’Mummy, mummy is that Father Christmas bashing the door down?’
’No pet, it’s the rozzers’.

Options for Full Fiscal Autonomy for Scotland which would have ended the subsidies were put before the Tory-controlled Westminster parliament and were voted down in 2015. Anyhow this debate is more relevant to the politics forum.

Wales just announced that because of all the problems they have been having with Lighthouse labs (the ones I think that created the England issues a few months ago) they expect tomorrow to announce over 11,000 cases all at once with a huge backlog coming from testing issues that have been going on for the past six days.

That’s why I said they’d be apart. With masks on. If they’re 2 metres apart, sitting still and not chatting they should be fine. My vaccine trial is at Manchester rugby club. For the briefing we all sit in the bar. With our masks on. Afterwards we sit at different tables and wait.

Announcement tomorrow apparently.

I will feel sorry for the poor innocent victims who catch this as a result of people taking a mile

Which why making it law is a nonsense. Who is going to be prosecuted?

Lol, haven't heard the term Rozzers for over 50 years.

Fair enough, although I expect some being a little uncomfortable sharing a room with strangers
