Fireworks should be banned from sale this year

My dog supports this idea

Fireworks should be banned from public sale

Should be organised and supervised displays only, too many idiots around.

And does this tally with regional or national figures. No it doesn't. Its a waste of time looking at them. Fine if you want to practice your scikit or ggplot skills but that's it. No conclusions can be made from the data. You need access to the full data for that

i still disagree. the LTLA/MSOA data agrees with national & regional totals (to within one or two which is annoying) published for that date and going backwards, on a given date. less of the snide comments please as well, it's tiring.

i just downloaded national totals, MSOA and LTLA/UTLA data all as a separate files from the dashboard and from the API and i can make them tally (as i say with one or two out due to one reason or another).

I went to Ikea in Warrington today and it was fairly similar but the biggest problem was when walking around no-one would wait or give anyone else the time of day. Everyone was barging in front of each other etc and it was generally chaotic.

I don't think it's that big of a deal but it seems people will willingly wear a mask but still willingly budge a granny out of the way to get to a £2 scented candle first.

I've read today in Japanese culture that sickness is seen as a bad thing because of the effect it has on others which is why masks were normal pre-COVID. If you are sick, you stay at home or wear a mask to stop yourself spreading it.

I don't think a single person in this country thinks this way and we see this above with people still being selfish knobs. They wear a mask only because they believe it protects them from others which isn't actually remotely true.

So indeed if it means getting to the last bog roll first they'll do whatever it takes even if it means giving someone COVID.

You’re absolutely right. I’ll wait for someone to come out of an aisle so that I can go down it and remain socially distant and in the time that you are waiting, entire groups of people just walk in front of you and down that very aisle. It’s fucking infuriating. I have never lost it with anyone or had an argument over social distancing, mainly because I know these cünts will never change anyway. But it’s becoming increasingly difficult to keep quiet. Same scenario when you want a product right next to someone. I wait for them to move. Every other fucker just dives right in there.

17 day lockdown ahoy here. Take the positives; it means a ban on Halloween parties and parties for that god awful means of entertainment for the chronically stupid or frontally lobotomised - fireworks

Sadly not true, local idiots already letting off fireworks, last night, hardly likely to stop anytime soon.

been going for 2 weeks here. Only plus side is I get multiple fireworks displays without having to leave the house.

This pandemic has really summed up how far down the gutter this country has gone though. Such a poor social culture.

So Burnham says infection rate going down across the region, MEN, BM and Government saying infection rate is going up, who is right? @Healdplace

I presume you're just looking at Manchester. Try doing the same thing for the Southwest or anywhere else. The data gets drastically supressed so your basis that it's one or two out is totally wrong. If you can't take criticism then you should quit the internet as I haven't said any snide remarks

• Cummings breaks Lockdown rules
• Whopping PPE contracts awarded to tinpot businesses tory peers have a stake in
• A catalogue of failed public messages
• Went in to initial lockdown way too late

"Mother should I trust the government?"

Depends what you define as a region as the Tories refused to use the term for years, is it GM which is really a sub-region, or the NW. Both could be correct.
