He did tell me that this virus is like no other as you cannot see it.

That’s no way to fucking argue Steve.

You should have replied by calling me a **** and offering me out on PM. (Like someone does that your currently chatting to on this thread).

Lucky you (and a genuine well done) for being able to live off your own cash though. There are millions that aren’t able to do that. It’s all about balancing people’s lives with people’s livelihoods as Mackenzie said.

Fucking irony of a certain poster complaining of being abused while sending vile abusive PMs to people who call him out for his bullshit.

If this lockdown carries on we are going to lose more people out of poverty because many businesses are on a knife edge of going under, no jobs no money mass poverty. I don't really understand why people can't see that being alert is just that, alert to the fact that we have a dangerous virus that can kill you if you do not take the necessary steps, we had a slogan in my previous employment Stay Alert Stay Alive and fuck if you wasn't alert like this virus you could end up being dead.

There are 2 industries that have suffered more than any throughout this pandemic. Hospitality and aviation. Those 2 sectors are already fucked and will continue to be whilst social distancing remains until a vaccine. They will be planning already for a new type of operation that allows them to trade in some capacity. 3 more weeks of lockdown, or however long it may have been, will not matter.

Under industry has continued. Many people have still worked throughout and I’d argue most office based jobs are roles which can, and have been, conducted from home.

So I don’t buy your point of view.

Separately, the biggest issue with the new wording and branding if you like, is that it now puts the onus on us as a nation to make decisions we were previously told we couldn’t make. That being going to see family. As I’m sure you have seen, people have already been flouting the lockdown and this new angle will only exacerbate that situation further.

Personally, I think the message is crystal clear. Boris and his cabinet want the above to happen. It is a baby step way to switching the ignition back on. They are actively seeking to get people out of their homes and a return to some sort of normality. I disagree with that stance, I think a further 3 weeks of the same message as the last 6 were required. However, I’m no medical scientist and would assume that is where government are taking their next steps from.

It’s a loose and designed message, one that enables us to go back into a more resolute lockdown should that be required. Honestly, I think we are testing the water here. I think we are loosening the shackles just a little to see if the prisoner makes an attempt to bolt, if you see what I mean. If he does, we tighten up again.

Agree with you last paragraph totally, this countries economy is mostly based on services etc for a reason that is best left on another thread, my point was that if people don't understand what Alert is then they may as well join the fuckwits that don't understand what lockdown is.

The northwest has the lowest drop rate in cases and isn't really changing, with the highest number of cases now being up here, many local politician and mayors think any idea of changing tge remit of the lockdown in the region for now would be catastophic.

No regional mayor or respesentative from regional councils have be invited to any discussions or had imput into what happens next.

Basically they are told when we are with a few hints before that it is impossible to plan from.

I am banned from virtually all politics threads mate. Meanwhile I see blu thru and thru and the blue phantom, two sips and various others spout left wing bile that is frankly dog shit post after post - it gets me too angry. They are now kicking off about a fucking slogan.

I can’t stand extreme left wing people. I avoid them in real life and I will have to on here. It gets me too wound up.

Fucking tits the lot of them. They think the world will run on fresh air.

Oi I hope you don't mean me,i am not extreme left ,i am trying to think people not politics,i can't help it if people keep putting it on me that I am only pissed off because it is the tories,i have said many times thank fuck labour are not in charge

Are we having our first row x
