Well it was wrong then and it is wrong now.
That is not what he meant and you know it, but you defend it.

I like his approach today- he’s sick of taking a daily beating & has no way of sticking up for the govt any more so is starting out on the wind up right from opening bell, get a bit of ‘revenge’, admirable enough & It’s working so far with people replying. The argument is flawed a bit by referring to it being a mistake coming on- he spends his entire life on here and is the most addicted poster of all
I don’t need to take a different approach as I have pointed out this is not a representation of the real world
As for addicted you have been averaging close to a thousand posts a month on non football related matters on a football forum

I've stayed out of the politics so far, but will make the following observations.
Keir Starmer has come across as a reasonable leader (profess to know little about him)
Boris is in a no win position. Clearly he won't be dealing with any of the detail (down to others), but whoever is in charge of leading the country is going to be criticised for either messing up the economy or causing the death of additional people. Easy time to be in opposition, which is why I am glad Starmer isn't taking cheap pot shots. If ever there was a time for all sides to be working together, it's now. it's not time for Brexit 2. Also find it interesting how Scotland, Wales etc are trying to establish a different agenda, which the cynic in me thinks they are trying to accentuate their national identity, rather than all working together. Not a time to play politics for politics sake.

The transport guidance is a mess.

Where did you get that meaning from? It’s actual meaning is a bundle of sticks, anything that followed isn’t the actual meaning.

In fairness he probably got it from the same website that told him Lord Of The Flies was written by I Golding, so cut him some slack

Or they're trying to protect their people from needless deaths
Exactly this. Saving lives is not playing politics ffs.

Back on topic and regarding schools. My wife was talking to one of my daughters friends last night who has a child with very bad asthma in reception and a child in year six with my daughter. She rang the school and said she doesn’t want to send either children to school as the youngest has asthma and the eldest could bring it home. The head told her it’s her decision and the school wouldn’t take any action. My wife has spoken to a friend of hers who is a primary school teacher this morning and she has said that the school she works at is sending out a letter advising parents that the school cannot practically in any sense ensure social distancing is adhered to and it’s for the parents to decide if they’re happy with that or not and decide wether to send their children back or not. Do any of the “faggots” on here have a similar response from the schools they work at?

They were talking about this on 5live this morning. I don't know if it's on IPlayer but a lot of teachers on pointing out how correct social distancing and proper hand washing (They don't have alcoholic hand wash), and cleaning of toys equipment is virtually impossible.

Think thats sensible of the school and probably the best they can do. Someone on 5live this morning saying people won't be fined if they keep their kids off.

Optional school return before Sept. could work well in many respects.
The attendance in the run-up to lockdown in my kids school was dropping significantly & was below 50% in some classes anyhow.

Our school have done something similar - before the lockdown even began the school had sent home very student that had any kind of underlying health issue and told them to stay at home. Did the same with staff too. One of my responsibilities is for whole school attendance and it’s been made categorically clear we do not fine, refer or chase parents that choose to keep kids off when we do go back.
Only option with young children going to school and nursery is going to be to keep the virus out by testing every member of staff and getting a result that day and having the place cleaned each evening. No way you can expect social distancing to be adhered to. The government are just pushing all responsibility to the public.

Common sense really pisses me off!!
Common sense is just a passive aggressive comment to someone who you think hasn’t understood what was said. I also find those who say it’s just common sense are the over confident types. I was told by someone on my team at work that the limit of one exercise session a day was changed when lockdown was extended. Well if so why is it now changing from one form of exercise a day tomorrow?

Krankie is a terrible leader, so it doesn’t surprise me Scotland are behaving the way they are when it comes to sticking together as the UK through this
The people who bang on about common sense are always the ones who haven’t thought through the details or technicalities.

How are we sticking together with them? Are Scotland, Wales, *and* NI all wrong while we're right?

It isn't the welsh, scottish or irish that have an inferiority complex, it's the English and it isn't surprising, the English voters are responsible by and large for electing this shower of a government.

Agree with you - I'm just saying that it is interesting that whatever decision Boris/whoever makes for 'England' is likely to be challenged at every turn as it accentuates the fact that they are a different country, Do you think that Boris/PM/whoever is leading us doesn't have saving lives at the forefront? If we were talking Trump, then I'll concede.

It hasn't been challenged at every turn though. Everyone was onboard with the stay at home message. So much so Scotland etc are carrying on with it.
