couldn't be more wrong
couldn't be more wrongmy understanding from what I’ve read, gov said you’re going into tier 3 and heres the support packaging similar to Liverpool, AB rejected saying he won’t support unless they get more, gov concerned that without local mayor support lockdown won’t be enforced/adhered to, continued negotiations, negotiations failed.
a load a politics chucked in but think that’s the long and the short of it.

Scary !!!!
Is that the Wealdstone Raider?

Have they finally given up on claiming schools have no impact on the spread?
You talk about Andy Burnham as if he represents a private entity looking for a contract, not the mayor of the second biggest metropolitan area and largest city region economy outside London.Just saying that’s what I’d read. What’s wrong ? AB wanted more money, government didn’t want to give more support.
ps if you read earlier posts I said I supported his position by the way (apart from that he said he wanted a national lockdown/circuit break which would’ve meant paying off certain sectors of the whole country furlough (whether that would be his 80% or governments 60%) even in areas where there’s low case numbers. Which we can’t afford. I’d rather focus on local lockdowns and support properly. I’ve already written to Andy Street twice about additional support needed for certain sectors
If it's as dangerous as they say, when does the argument actually get noticed that bringing it back to parents / grandparents ain't great for their wellbeing...?The line is now ‘schools are essential to children’s well-being’ because the ‘save the economy’ line fails if you’re forcing large numbers to stay home anyway.

I've been meaning to ask you for a while if you were a teacher!Also, and I don’t know if I’ve mentioned, the ‘teaching’ they are getting is some bastardised form delivered from a box

That's certainly your starting point. Although it then gets more complicated as you deal with suppliers and businesses indirectly impacted by forced closures.Surely you arrange a package of measures for each restriction. Bars closed? Furlough for hospitality kicks in. Etc etc.
There seems to be some weird effort to penny pinch and play politics on this issue when the government can do what it wants. Just grow some balls and take some decisions.
Who was trying to get the poorest in his region a deal they can live on. It also has fuck all to do with politics as there are some quite right wing tories fighting the same fight with him.
Even now it’s genuinely breathtaking how fucking inept they continue to be.The line is now ‘schools are essential to children’s well-being’ because the ‘save the economy’ line fails if you’re forcing large numbers to stay home anyway.
Well paid babysitters that’s all we are mate.I have a degree too
Which, of course, ain't needed if everybody else is sent home!Well paid babysitters that’s all we are mate.
#whereskierI know the government seem to be able to do anything and people still support them but surely people have to now start asking questions.
Haha, OK get your priorities sortedFFS, I can’t win ! I’ve said I support what he was trying to do Fernando, I was texting briefly whilst trying to cook my tea so I can watch the match, sorry if I didn’t present the position in greater detail/more clearly

Remember a month ago when Whitty was accused of scaremongering for saying we could hit 200 deaths a day by November without taking action? 213 in England alone today.
Yes, was just coming on here to post 241 reported deaths for today. A huge jump from the previous figures.
I personally feel we are already past the last roll of the dice to stop a major loss of life in this.
All eyes on the central belt in Scotland where there has been a partial lockdown which is equivalent to a Level 3 Lockdown in England for a while now.
Doesn't look like there has been any changes in reversing the course of the virus just slowing it down in the areas which are most affected.
It is still too early to see if a lockdown has had any effect but the rate of infection is still going up and increasing in the neighbouring local authorities next to the ones which are causing concern making an even bigger area of concern.
I just believe they are trying to put off a national lockdown for as long as possible.
This can't continue for much longer.
When people are dying and it is just statistics then you need to worry.
