No, there were no codes at any shop last time I went. I thought there should be?

I guess its because close contact for a certain amount of time is required for self isolation - not just being in the same building. In theory in a supermarket you're always moving and not around the same person for ages

A BBC Presenter portraying the PM as a ‘wartime leader’ is a joke. Parroting the party line for the Tories when in reality there is nothing even remotely close to being a leader for this PM let alone a wartime one. 

I fear you are missing the irony. Nick Robinson is certainly no fool.

The EU might start reviewing the Oxford trial data in the next couple of weeks.

https://www.bloomberg.com/amp/news/articles/2020-09-30/oxford-astra-covid-vaccine-review-said-to-start-in-europe

Last time they did a rolling review, it took three months to approve "The agency started such an evaluation of remdesivir to treat Covid-19 in April, while trials were ongoing, and the drug was given conditional approval three months later."

I think harshly shutting down Liverpool whilst most of the country is still open will just led people to meeting up in houses rather than restaurants/cafes/pubs which have some licensed measures in place. Obviously not everyone will do that but think there will be enough push back for it to not work as planned.

I wonder where the students are?

Spread over the whole area. There's 100,000 university students and less than about a quarter of those actually live in purpose built student halls. 

There are a lot more commuter students from places like Bolton then people realise. E.g Salford (23,000 students) has 50% students from Greater Manchester. 

There are large concentrations in South Manchester but it's not quite as many as you'd think.

Jeremy Corbyn caught breaking the rule of 6 after attending a 9-person dinner party.

 

Bloody politicians. One rule for them and one for everyone else. 

What a c**t that man is. So full of shit.

Can't wait to see how his supporters blame Starmer for this

I think they're going to get same restrictions as the NE.

The only difference currently between NE and Merseyside restrictions is the not meeting in pubs with other households - it's advised against but not forced. To be honest I don't know how they police that anyway. Mainly I'm just bitter because I live in Cheshire and yet still fall under the Liverpool City region 🙄

    • well, we might know by the end of next month if they drop the lineup early again
    • I'm definitely not camping 🙂.  My 17 year old Daughter and her friends are there 3 days and commuting back to Sheffield each day as didn't want to camp .  I am taking and picking up the Saturday so thought I may as well get a ticket as love Fontaines DC - need to do a lot of research on the other acts though to fill my day.    I walked through the camp site other year the day Arctic Monkeys played and it was like a War Zone.  My Son has camped a couple of times but didn't fancy my Daughter staying over. 
    • Not at all impressed with Polanski saying "noone should be barred from public life" wrt the Tory neo-nazi. I really don't think "no nazis in politics" should be an excessive standard.
    • Dug into Milkweed some more and this was a brilliant suggestion. Thank you 🙂   This will come as no surprise, but I have been told that there are some band substitutions to come.
    • Yeah, I think it's important to differentiate between a stage that's just a platform for the artist to walk on (which can be assembled fairly quickly and without too much difficulty), and the custom staging that you get in big productions where there's a whole world underneath.   Using the Eras tour as an example the stage extending out into the stadium field has all sorts - lifts that go up or down - down most importantly as this allows performers to enter or to leave the stage as needed. There's passageways to get from one part of the stage to another. There's what are effectively dressing rooms set aside for costume changes. There's spare instruments (and techs to look after them) so if something goes wrong above they can be swapped out in the space of seconds. There's even a track and dolly system running the full length of the stage so that Taylor can be moved from one end to the other faster than she'd be able to walk.   I don't know the specifics of the Madonna tour to the same degree but my understanding is that a lot of the same techniques are used.
