This is why, it's just not allowed these days!

What a silly ignorant or should that be bigoted man.
"Craig Whittaker suggested BAME people - particularly Muslims - were "not taking [the coronavirus pandemic] seriously enough".
Neither are all those white people enjoying the packed beaches or gathering in huge numbers for raves or street parties etc.

You're quite right, Jan. This isn't about playing the Boris game of blaming certain people, it is simple public health risk management. Imagine it were Christmas Day tomorrow, and thats what you're dealing with - and if it were Christmas Day, of course there would be all sorts of measures in place!

Simon Dolan's appeal against denial of JR will continue next month. At the Court of Appeal yesterday Lord Justice Hickinbottom agreed that the challenge against '
possibly the most restrictive regime on the public life of persons and businesses ever' should proceed, as the case '
potentially raises fundamental issues concerning the proper spheres for democratically-accountable Ministers of the Government and judges.'

Where rational adults embedded in a shared culture make important decisions the results are very different. But we have not one in government, not one advising, not one in parliament, and there's no such thing as society. Instead, we have government by bawl and tantrum, and a culture of paranoia, bullying, shaming and denunciation.

Apparently sex isn't 'off the table' (phew! - some things are not just for Christmas dinner), but...
Hysterical. An excellent marker of the spread of our current unreason.

It doesn't take a statistical model to award a dunce's hat to the leadership candidate for the Illiberal Undemocrats, who'd like to keep us enslaved and our economy in ruins in perpetuity.

I've written to the C-PCI suggesting that, since MPs are now spending more time at home than in parliament, we pay them in security blankets and waterproof mattress covers.

Here, the unit of measurement is supermarket shopping trolleys. In Wales, however, it's (obviously):
VISIT ELAN VALLEY SAFELY
• Observe latest Welsh Government guidance on local travel
• Keep 2m apart (that’s about 2 sheep).

Perygl! Best look over your shoulder before disparaging Cymru, B; the Leas is a lot closer than Penrhyndeudraeth. (Mildred. One of yours?)

A month old, still true, and about to become truer. It's not the Cummings. It's not 'the science'. It's the Sturgeon.

Our local trust top bosses seem to be some what in need of a shake up if this report is correct.

Shouldn't there be hazard bins if these things are so toxic?

Certainly toxic to those of us who take their rubbish home or use a bin and abhor all kinds of despoilation of the environment.

In England, there are now 305 Coronavirus patients in hospital with 33 patients on ventilation. At the peak those numbers were around 17,000 and 2,800.
No sign of any increase in hospital admissions too.
It's so important to look at the whole picture, not just reported cases.

Funny, that's just what Prof Sikora said! (Great minds think alike. Obvs.) I'm sure it'll be on the BBC somewhere... just checking... hold on a bit... just a mo... Oh.
btw, listen to the Prof on cancer and weep. 'Protect the NHS' my a***.

Shouldn't be arguing the toss: should accept this is serious and be mature and act accordingly.
