Think that protective ring must have been electrified or had machine gunners around it.
Utterly shameful cunts - lying with such brass neckā¦ but where is teh media who should be questioning this???
On Twitter where only mentals like me go.
Then again, a noose is a ring I suppose and I suppose it protects the wearer from hitting the ground when they drop through the trap door.
Straight from the horseās mouth. A care home managerā¦

Whatās going to happen to HS2 nowā¦?
Itāll still go ahead but the trains will wear masks and the passengers will run along 2m behind the last carriage (and each other).
What makes you think there will be a change, expense?

Itās going to be interesting to see what happens in June. Frightening too, I suspect.
We went into lockdown after too many people were needlessly infected on account of the governmentās lethargy and incompetence.
Weāre coming out of lockdown too early after having no real idea of the scope of the problem, with reports of carriers being completely asymptomatic quite commonplace.

Infection central.
I see Eton, Harrow and the rest of the public schools are closing until September. Is the plan to send the kids of the great unwashed back first to see what happens? I suspect that is the case. Will the Daily Mail be calling out these public school teachers as squabbling commies who should put the kids first and get their lazy arses back to work? Donāt hold your breath.

65 education workers have died up until April 20th of Coronavirus.
To be fair these are people that work across all aspects of education and may or may not have caught the virus in the workplace. But equally, albeit unlikely, each one could have contracted the virus from children.
Primary schools have been explicitly chosen because a) we believe the risk is lower when very young and b) primary school teachers are less unionised.
Also, whilst the very young seem to be much less likely to contract the virus, we donāt know if they can infect adults.
And whilst the science says the very young are at the least risk, we will be letting year 6 pupils back too in the first wave - many of these will be 11 and effectively secondary school pupils in a couple of months. Do they count as the very young? I guess so. But why then keep senior schools (year 7) shut. Unionised workforce?
Iām conflicted because I believe the science when they say it should be low risk, and I desperately want to get the kids back, but we need to be completely sure that schools are safe for kids and adults.
If social distancing and non-physical contact are prerequisites for safety then primary schools arenāt safe and canāt easily be made safe.
I also work as part of a team that will need to physically intervene with children who express themselves physically including spitting at adults. We will be exposed to greater levels of risk as a result.
So there is a great deal to debate and consider. By announcing a June 1st start, by not consulting unions and senior school leaders and by whipping the press into lambasting teachers the government could not have handled this any worse.

I had it on in the background while doing something else.
Neither the Met nor the protesters covered themselves in glory.
I believe Jeremy Corbynās brother was led away in handcuffs. The Sundayās have their headlines and pictures for tomorrow. Never mind the increase in the death rate and the flouting of lock down regs by the vast majority of their readers.
Isnāt there a statistical probability that some education workers are going to die
Out of 30 thousand deaths - some of them are bound to be education workers. In fact I would go so far as to say the number feels a bit light when you consider the number of education workers as a proportion of the population
