    Round and round we go. Apparently Boris Johnson will hold a press conference Monday to elaborate but it appears it could be from Weds and all none essential shops will close, in fact everything will close barring essential shops and educational facilities.

    Yes and it will be for longer than it would have been if bozo the ******* clown had listened to the same experts when they first told him to do it in September or when Keir Starmer begged him to do it at the begining of October instead bozo chose to listen to Demonic and Sunak and now the country's ******

    Haha ******* stupid. Education, the biggest spreaders, Stays open. Supermarkets, the big spreaders, stay open.
    But the places that keep a roof over people's heads and who have taken the most measures to protect people are forced to close.

    The mind boggles mate it truly does. Closing down hospitality sectors where the correct guidelines are all being followed and in some cases extra measures are taken, but we’re leaving open high schools where there are countless stories of procedures not being followed OR universities where it’s a congealed mix of students from all over the country coming together.

    We are f*cked.

    Wrong time, wrong set of rules, wrong targets.

    Looking at the News at Ten, with pressure mounting from the experts, it now looks
    absolutely inevitable that a total lockdown is to be imposed.

    No but they've been allowed to do whatever they wanted from day one. Handed a complete monopoly on retail and have profiteered massively. They should have been forced to take aisles out like restaurants were forced to take tables out

    I’m not sure there is much evidence that supermarkets are amongst the biggest spreaders unlike education which definitely is.

    The problem is they have no clue what they are doing no strategy and are ignoring their own scientists and are destroying the country whilst simultaneously not controlling Covid.

    As for policy by kite flying in the weekend press it’s hard to find words

    I held back on my orders for next week because I was worried we'd be sent into Tier 3. Didn't hear anything so I just had to go ahead with it. Nice to know that the government can brief their favoured newspapers while we're still working out how to stay more or less solvent. They're squandering political capital that they never even bothered to earn.

    That's because nobody is forced the check-in when visiting the Supermarket. You could have hundreds of people a day visiting a hotspot of Covid and nobody would know.

    Closing businesses with perishable products and minimal cashflow through a story leaked to the papers - all with potentially just with 48 hours notice.

    Education education education is Johnson's mantra. It's his bottom line.. He said as much. So we should believe in him shouldn't we? He's one of us. He cracks a few jokes. He shags the ladies .He insults people who wear different clothes. Top bloke

    We took delivery of around 20,000 worth of stock today that has a shelf live of around 2 to 3 weeks. 20 grand that the business don't can't afford to lose

    Einstein’s definition of insanity. Carry on doing the same thing and expecting different results. The country has taken leave of its senses; I despair.
