You work in a supermarket though, you may well get bumped up the queue.

I'm looking forward to finding out how on earth they are going to identify office workers. 

Right lads, let's start with all caucasian men called Gary...

If this is some sort of tactic to 'rush people back to offices' then fuck that.

I know it sounds a lot but a day rate of £1000 isn’t a lot, especially as that going to a company. But 900 at that rate is silly.

At the very least if they go this route then decide early and outline the reasons why clearly. Don’t just leave it till the last moment and leave people hanging. 

I hope they jab my mum first before moving on to the caucasian men called Gary.

The BBC News paper round-up just asked when restrictions will be lifted (I think he meant as a whole?) and the columnist said Autumn. Apparently Spaffer said something about June in the past 24 hours as well?

I'm sure supermarket workers would take precedence over office workers if they go that route as come into contact with so many people. So hopefully you'll be alright.

Maybe ... but group 6 isn’t so far away ... mind you it’s quite a lot of people in it ....

I agree it's not a wild rate but it's a lot in the context of Track and Trace being a complete failure.

Everything Serco touches turns to shit. And yet they keep getting the big gigs.

You should be fine as they’ve committed to that plan they published which goes down the vulnerable groups, I think.

True but in the context where the Tories didn’t vote for increase in UC to be extended it looks suspect.

900 for that long, when you have effective track and trace in every council is crazy.

People who call other people ‘Sir’ on the internet wear t-shirts that don’t fit properly.

Pretty big caveat in that: will need to show that vaccine stops transmission and is for after April when the over 50's are all done.

So... I guess they'd organise it through schools and the police stations for those professions. And through workplaces for office workers

 

[stuartbert two hats]

That's more like it.

Ha fair play. Good showing all round though, goes to show lockdowns do work in getting cases down.

Wasn't this the plan anyway, vaccinate all the over 50's and then move down?

I fail to see how this is any different to be fair.

I had my very first flu vaccine yesterday. They sent me a letter as I am, now, over 50.😏

I do wonder how much more certain Tories will be able to take.
