Wednesday?  So next Wednesday then?

"As soon as" two days before the whole thing is supposed to be implemented 😮

Pretty much what I predicted earlier.

Somehow they've contrived a more tedious on-off relationship than Bianca and Ricky in Eastenders.

Oh FFS!!!!!!!!!!! 

New new one is more transmisable than the new one.

I’m another that gets quite surprised by the constant anecdotes of no one wearing masks. I moved out of London in September back to Torbay and in both places I would say 99% of people I have seen have worn them in shops and public transport. I remember more recently anyone I have seen without one (I could count this on one hand) had a lanyard on presumably to explain why they were exempt. I think compliance has been fantastic since they became compulsory and think we should focus on that rather than continue to highlight and exaggerate the tiny minority that do not wear them. 

Do you work in a shop ? Do you have (mask exempt ) people leaning over you as you work ? exaggerate ? People are posting experiences of what they see ....  if that is an exaggeration are you saying that people are making this up ? It clearly differs across the U.K. .... in my retail shop I would say 40 colleagues out of around 400 are mask exempt ... if you go to another local supermarket not a single person not wearing them ... must just be unlucky to have so much ilness I guess

Just put us in tier 4 from today!

He's bottled saying the rumours about that one and why it's such a threat, which is probably for the best to avoid panic, but may not help with compliance...

Can someone tell the minister of health that viruses mutate. 
 

Effective measures will contain all strains, a mutation shouldn’t be used as an excuse to cover over the massive fuck up in the procedures for handling the virus.

Thought he was going to announce Oxford vaccine authorisation then...

They keep on covering up their own mistakes time and time again. Yet refuse to take the actions that will make a difference.

[st dan]

They’ve just clocked on that all their failings can just be covered with a ‘new variant’ get out clause haven’t they.

Someone got the wrong pen when colouring in the sw

Just need to think of an excuse for the inevitably failing economy in the New Year now and then they're sorted.

It was the killer strain from South Africa that damaged our GDP etc.

That’s a bloody awful graph ... just show the overall growth

Their usual graph maker has already gone home for Christmas 

[Guest]

They literally just show a graph which showed a national lockdown led to a fall in all cases, then when it was relaxed cases went up. That right there indicates it's the government's measures that's the problem.

Save all the Oscar-style thank yous until people are no longer dying in huge numbers, Hancock, you dipshit.

[Crazyfool01]

I’ve just woken up from my nap ... is the sw moving anywhere ? 

[st dan]

Also - immediate travel ban placed on South Africa in response to this new strain, which is the exact thing they have criticised other countries for doing to the UK this past week!!

It was last seen floating down past the Iberian peninsular.
