Cretins. RSF, Heathrow and British Airways. The lot of ‘em.

Too sexy for their mask.

Had a phone call off my mum's nursing home this morning. Though it was Covid related, but apparently not. Her cancer has progressed but she has refused any treatment or "interference." She has always been like this.
So an end of life plan will be put into place, but I can only go and see her when she is nearing the end.
Have wept a few times today. She deserves someone there, at the end

really hope you can to be beside your mum as soon as humanly possible,

Walked through Manchester City centre and they have mass testing with lateral flow tests set up in the Town Hall extension. I looked through the doors and there were no queues, just a couple of soldiers sat behind a desk. It could be appointment only though

I really am hoping that this is the beginning of the end, Daily death announcements back below 1000 has to be a real positive sign. The vaccine rollout should make a huge impact as well, spring just around the corner and better weather to come.

Just another day closer to normality.

Thanks for the detailed reply - I remember that Lancashire had high numbers.

I agree - and exactly as Myself and some of the other London-based people thought putting London in Tier 2 in December was nuts.

It was and may even have stopped these new variants from spreading quite so fast.

This is not the time to assess who did what and why and I agree that finally and with the most important phase of all they are doing a pretty good job on the vaccinations. So credit where it is due.

With my reservations over the care home situation in England which hopefully now seem to be receding and probably mostly applied to pre Christmas when we only had the vaccine that was - as Nicola Sturgeon said - difficult to get into care homes and slowed Scotland down.

England it appears chose not to slow down and the deaths that resulted are hopefully now receding as post Christmas we had the easier vaccine to get into care homes and have presumably been doing so with that.

Who was right and wrong here is to debate another day. Right now the vaccination programme seems to be speeding along and we should reap the rewards. So we should focus on the increasing number of positives and be patient and not be desperate to rush out of this too rapidly and risk losing the edge we have gained.

Two or three extra weeks of lockdown in March if it saves our Summer is a price worth paying.

Hopefully we will understand that when the time comes.

I occasionally feel light headed wearing one but it’s really not that bad at all, some people are just selfish and think they’re clever not doing it.

Absolute fucking wankers. I can’t believe those tweets, or maybe I can.

Like you say, they’re not super comfortable but I also never found them over restrictive. If you genuinely can’t wear a mask, you should get yourself straight to A&E as there is something seriously wrong

Twats & if any staff have been licking his arse I'd have them fired.

And tested. Not just for Covid either.
