What's the betting the Covid thing goes tits up this weekend

two personal recent experiences, sat in a cafe last Thursday ( for work all above board) people watching at the takeaway while I waited for the owner, most quite well behaved, then this gobby 'look at me' lass came in, announced they ought to take a plastic fork or two back to work, went to the place where they were , grabbed a handful by the fork end, took a couple and put the others back. Point being that it was totally unnecessary as it was easy to just get what you wanted.
Went in to a Boots today , they had a great obvious one way system marked , it wasn't that busy so was easy to move around but that wasn't good enough for the ones who were too important to follow basic rules and just ploughed in everywhere.
Now these are minor examples but multiply that in the carnage of Easter weekend and.....

 

It'll go tits up because families will meet up indoors. As have one half measure they should have just lifted the restrictions on family full stop. Same with pubs and hospitality on 12th April. A Monday straight after biggest betting heat and biggest race meeting after Cheltenham, Royal Ascot and the Derby.

 

I understand the thinking is that Covid19 infections will rise significantly but hospitalisations and deaths will be stable or even fall as the vaccinations roll on.

 

No. It's ALL Boris and the governments fault. End of!!!

 

Iley out !
Booooooooo......

 

Huge numbers of the population have continued to meet indoors all winter.

 

My neighbours met indoors at the weekend because I could hear them all talking and laughing loudly from 4pm until gone 3am when I finally fell asleep with earplugs in. I felt like reporting them just so I could get some sleep! Clocks went forward too so I lost another hour. The neighbour at the other side had people over too in their back garden during the afternoon on the same day as it was the birthday of one of them. (It was also the indoor neighbour’s birthday as I heard them singing Happy Birthday.) I guess because both sides had lockdown birthdays last year and it was so close to restrictions relaxing they decided sod it.

 

The COVID 'thing' went tits up when the government first heard about it. Let's never forget this. They f***** up at every turn, and brazenly colluded to make money from the pandemic, for themselves and their friends and backers. Nudged along nicely by a right-wing media campaign. Ably assisted by the most inept 'opposition' party and leader.

 

So nothing to do with ignorant, self important/thick as pig **** people not following the rules, just doing what they want and sod everyone else then?

I do agree that the governments response to it has been very flawed in many areas by the way, before you go all lefty on me.

 

There are millions of thick people. That's why we've got the government we have and the COVID response we have.

 

Mcgeehan 3 match ban?

 

Didn’t want to start a political thread tbh.
We all know things could have been done better, it was more an observation of how quickly things could gone wrong, for instance the lass with the forks.

 

Great move by government to get people to blame other people for the spread of respiratory virus and ignore the shambolic state of our health service and care sector.

 

You've only to look at schools, mate. I work on supply and some of the measures both before and after schools closing have been non-existent in some of the places I work at.

 

I completely get what you're saying, but we needn't have been in this position if our elected government handled it the right way from the outset. I'm loathe to start criticising the public who've been locked away for 12 months at the mercy of said shambolic government, with no hope of anything better because the opposition are just as sh**e.

 

In which case, who do the "millions of thick people" you quoted vote for, if the opposition are just as *****?

 

The same right wing media you mention has tried to stick Starmer with the Captain Hindsight stuff - don't fall for it. He rips Boris apart in PMQs every week on the mistakes the government have made. We need to give him time to get the messaging right, and we need to see more personality from him. Jury is still out obviously, but I don't think Labour voters turning on each other is going to help get the Tories out.

 

It'll probably go t1ts up tomorrow...forecast is for 21 degrees (about 70 in old money)
Millions working from home, or on furlough, or out of work...

It'll be rammed

 

The opposition at the last election wasn't just as ***** but the big businesses with something to lose and the Tory biased media pushed a message out and the moronic voters lapped up said message and bought every word.

 

so your all saying that you prefer the peace and quiet of lockdown, rather than the bawdy rowdy cavorting thats going to take place,people are going to go crazy, just wait till beer is involved
