He just won't. Fuck off all these shite takeaways being open. Garden centres ffs! Churches! Enforce supermarkets to have strict rules again.

And all the other non essential shops doing the click and collect bollox, order online you fuckwhits.

What will it take for the Moron to impose a proper lockdown for a month or so.
This ‘Lockdown’ atm is a complete farce and non existent!
He should resign as he is clearly not up to the job!

Who would you suggest takes over?

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

Still lots going into work and getting public transport /going into crowded shops as well. It’s not a proper lockdown at all.

my mrs works in ASDA, hardly any rules, same people coming in every day with their kids, spending ages in the store and end up walking out with hardly any shopping, whats up with these people why dont they get it whats hard not to understand

The new slogan needs to be “stay the fuck at home, and keep the fuck away from everyone else”

I would pay good money to hear those words from Whitty's mouth!

 

[mosssideblue]

Awful numbers. How can people still see numbers like that and still act like selfish arseholes? Far too many people not adhering to the rules, even the simple ones about masks and washing hands

As our area (sedgemoor, Somerset) went from Tier 2 to Tier 4 and now National lockdown, the roads have steadily got busier.

It’s a fucking shambles and only going to get worse as this obliterates us here in GM.

REGIONAL SCOREBOARD SUMMARY

Some horrific numbers. London up to new record that is higher on its own today than everywhere in the UK was added together as recently as the 9th of December!!!!

On that day London was already double its previous high at 4144. Today it is 17, 119.

Somebody who is prepared to listen to experts advising them about what is likely to happen and be able to act accordingly.

No one in the current elected government then

thank fuck for that ive been worried about going back to square 1 with the reports the s a variant may be vaccine resistant

Wouldn’t ever be square one thankfully.

A modification for a mutation takes 4-6 weeks to do.

Of course it would be significant in terms of deaths and set us back greatly but it wouldn’t be square one at least.

 

[johnnytapia]

599, 271 pillar 1 & 2 tests - new record there of a better kind btw.

11.4 % UK positivity

@worsleyweb will be along in a min to say what a spiffing job BJ is doing

There’s a politics thread for this.

Where the fuck are all these people on the roads going???

Where the fuck are all these people on the roads going???

Curious myself. I live near enough to a main road and remember April vividly when the roads were deserted at 9am and later on you would have odd groups out for picnics but that was it. Now it’s just long traffic queues.


It just doesn’t feel the same at all.

REGIONAL SCOREBOARD

Also up pretty much everywhere - South East over 10,000 too and East new record

Sadly North West also sets its fourth new record in the last week - though 'only' up 510 to 7671

1489 was the NW number on 9 Dec when the entire UK had fewer cases than London alone today.

The ONE area to go down - yet again - is Yorkshire - by some margin the only one escaping the new strain.

Why is nobody asking how and finding out how to emulate it?

They have in all data I have seen been far below the % of the new strain compared with every region.

We need to know How?

If I was living in Yorkshire I would be building a wall right now.

The sadness is, they could be stopped and challenged and simply say, going to the garden center officer

Yeah, that’s what we are doing. Fortunately I’m my own boss so can work from home, and then we are just hugely limiting any outdoor interactions - minimal shopping trips etc. Next few weeks is not going to be fun.

 

[mackenzie]

My employer sent about 40 vulnerable staff home at beginning of first lockdown. They have worked from home ever since. Now the rest of us are going on a rota to work partly from home and partly from the office. Apart from me who doesn't have Internet access at home. Not that bothered as there will be hardly anyone in at any given time, so it will be safer.
This is in response to expectations the North is going to cop it big time very soon.
