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

A while since I/we posted because just like everyone else we get fed up of this shit. So just like to say..... For the first time since last March we are free of covid patients 😊

As it seems we're going to be spending the rest of the weekend discussing why, when and if Dominic Cummings broke the very lockdown rules that he already had a contentiously large hand in creating, we feel we need to point out one quick detail that's at risk of being overshadowed.

If you ever choose to drive the 250-odd miles from London to the Cummings' family farm just south of Durham, it's pretty easy to find. You just need to turn off the A167 at a junction known locally as "Cock O' The North".

The junction took its name from a pub that used to stand there that's long since been demolished. But thanks to Dom, it looks like the name will live on for a while yet.

Everyone out ... it’s all common sense now ... 

That’s quite likely.

We’ve followed the lockdown vary carefully but spoke to my mum earlier who I haven’t seen since Feb and she is keen on meeting up to see grandkids and walk dogs next week. We would keep 2m apart and all of us are healthy . Her quote was If Cummings can do that what the hell.

If we were in N Ireland or Scotland as I understand it small groups are allowed to get together like this so why not I guess. So fuming about Cummings I’m not feeling like sticking to the less sensible rules now. Must be many others thinking the same.

I'm so angry with this, they would rather put everything at risk rather than sack him.

For the whole cabinet to get behind him, and dilute their lockdown rules to accommodate him is so dangerous.

My big takeaway from today's briefing was that it is now up to people to use common sense when deciding which rules to follow.

The lockdown is fucked now, once people start ignoring the rules it has a snowball effect, if everyone else is doing it then why the fuck shouldn't I? It's already happening round my way, and they have basically given the green light to do what you like.

      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…

      Maybe some right wing leaders like Meloni are just playing to their base, like Reform have been here talking about them ending up at Calais.
