I think on a music festival message board it’s a legitimate question to ask. It doesn’t suggest the OP doesn’t give a shit about anything else. Of course there are much bigger things to be worrie

So...OX/AZ, blood clots, suspension of vaccinations, politics, vaccine hesitancy, convoluted data, PR problems, Brexit, EU procurement naivety, poor logistics, national identity...there’s an awful lot

Lots of sensible social distancing from the photographers, whom I assume some are from national media.

 

Also in the still picture the copper behind is wearing his cap at a jaunty angle

Thew wife is going cycling around central London with a friend today. Great idea! I told her to send me some pics. I'll post one or two if they're any good/suitably 28 Days Later-ish

My dad's news footage is used in the start of this film.

The swab test is a simple quick non-invasive (though slightly unpleasant) test for the presence of Coronavirus but it does have it's limitations. Virus particles must be present in the area sampled and they must transfer to the swab for the test to be effective. This is not always the case as the virus particles could be in the lower respiratory tract, not the upper from where the test is taken. It is also believed the virus could lie dormant within cells where it is harder to detect.

Does have quite a high false neg rate though doesn't it. Mostly due to the sampling technique as you allude too. We had a study at work the other day. 300 of us swabbed. Supposedly all negative.

Do tell! 

Sure! I'm a bit proud to be honest! He covered lots of stuff. So there is some footage from the poll tax riots. Think two bits - a police car getting a scaffold bar through the window and a horse rearing up on a protester. Both filmed by my dad. It's a while since I've seen the film so that might not be exact but that's what I remember. Got quite a surprise when I saw the film at the cinema!

Why do folk keep misspelling "borders" these days?    I see it regularly on certain forums, not this one though. Or are you talking about staying in B&B ?  Am I missing something?

Sorry ma'am. That's me told. Nope. just missing a letter 'a' before B&B. Or are you talking about staying inside an actual breakfast? That could get messy.

If you think 6 months in jail is appropriate for breaking quarantine then you need to take a hard look in the mirror.

👍 I never did say I agree with the length of jail time. It just highlighted how relaxed our government has been about it. Which in turn will delay the lockdown further because nobody bothered to pay it any attention anyway thus pushing the daily stats up.

Those poor Police Officers.

I agree! They are on the frontline and dealing with loads abuse at the moment worse thing is there families and children and suffering as well! A police officer has just spent 7 days in isolation and his wife and two young children have spent 14 days! How do you explain to a 4yr old who can manage the rules his dad can’t put him to bed because someone didn’t! Horrific thing is he was spat at and It could be a lot worse than minor symptoms!

Staying in bed much preferable to staying in breakfast.

      Ann and Nancy Wilson are planning a final world tour for HEART starting next year. They were never at Glastonbury. They should do it.

      sub yes I could see but I don't think they get 1hr 15, a headliner starting at 18:15 though is unlikely. Even the recent co-headlines that have had like 1hr 15 then a 1hr 30 after were on 8pm or just before, you are trailing behind more than 1.5 hours then. In that scenario some 3rd down bands are only starting at 18:15 and some haven't lol. I agree they won't not book them due to this but it won't be 6 headliners. It would be 5 headliners and you wouldn't want to see 5 headliners booked but Biffy were to not be thouhgt of as an option for one. Wolf Alice on the other hand could sub no bother and you'd think nothing of it. I'm not so sure Biffy would get headline though after the festival choice in Kendal this year.

      Definitely. UKIP also used Merkel welcoming 1 million Afgans to Europe in 2015 during the brexit vote.   Politicians in other countries within the EU know the are going to lose voters to parties to the right of them over stuff like this and they've no control over it.

      I think it will very much vary on who there is to book who they know will sell out a day.    They’ve co-headline and full headline stuff in future, there no reason at all they won’t do it again, even if it means cutting someone’s set by 15 mins or having a band less in a big bands day…   They’re not going to not book Foo fighters and instead get the equivalent of Florence and C&S just to not have a band do a big set…   …unless of course they think it will make them more money…
