By August, probably be something more like a fiver. itll be a lateral flow test of some sort

Possibly. A fiver seems a bit ambitious though if they're subsidised they could be.

Lovely. Both cases and deaths significantly down.

By the way did anyone draw 21 June 2021 in the office sweepstake?

Only 1% of arrivals going into Hotel Quarantine

No data on how many FPN's are being issued by the Police, and with it being pushed around from Border Force to Isolation Assurance to Police to Border Force am not surprised the whole thing is a shambles.

And I've still not had contact back from my multiple emails to the DHSC Trace Team regarding my 'arrival' questions, despite emailing yet again yesterday (and cc'd in Matt Handcock).... Ignoring the fact I've been back 3 days already! 

No contact from Test & Trace either.

Predictably shoddy.

The redlist idea was a terrible fudge.

Quarantine everyone or no one.

And on a separate matter, I have a real problem with the enforced £210 fee for 2 tests that are DIY. This generates £3million EVERY DAY. Someone is creaming off huge profits...

Anyone else think Glastonbury should do a u-turn and press ahead with the 2021 festival. Freedom arrives 48 hours before the gate open...

I said a little earlier but it's still too risky, building the site and spending the money if any of the steps have to be pushed back then sadly they would have to cancel and incur losses.

That’s a shame. I’d love it if they had a crack at something this year. Even if not the festival proper. A half Glastonbury

Yeah, once I set my absolute optimism aside, it would be a massive gamble. But when you see R&L planning to run you wonder if they could do something on the site for us this summer.

Williamson doing the press briefing at 5. Will talk a bit about returning schools after lockdown and then move onto the more important issue of freedom of speech in universities.

They could look at a slightly bigger Pilton Party or something in early September.

What do you think of Boomtowns chances now? I heard that they may be folding

They are still selling tickets and their social media is busy as ever. Got a good chance of running now. I wonder if ticket sales have pick up this week??  They probably have little room for manoeuvre.

To make money they need to pretty much sell out

Yeah, there was talk of that glamping event. With the news now maybe they could run more than one?

Haha, exactly what I was thinking/just posted. Wouldn’t that be something. They can run that posh glamping event and throw on some proper gigs too. I’ve always said The Park would be an amazing festival in it own right

Rag N Bone man just announced some gigs for end June. Shows where some people’s thinking is.

Which is so positive and sums up “when will this s*** end”. The more this happens the harder it is to turn back
