I think a Ā£10k fine will make them stay put
England I know but theyāre hoping the other āhomeā nations will follow suitā¦
Didnāt stop a shit load of parties in lock down areas over the weekend
TBH people are getting more and more fed up with it and donāt see it as an issue. Do you know, personally, any one thatās tested positive, I donāt. Lotās of friends of friends of friends but no one directly.
Itās going to take a shit load of positive results and deaths for people to start taking this seriously againā¦
Iām not defending the parties BTW but can see why they are happeningā¦

And this REALLY doesnāt help
Nope, no it doesnātā¦
I think one of the ministers has said that this shouldnāt be the case, but when did MPs ever do what was right when their own privileges were being threatened
An why do they need a bevy after 10pm anyway - maybe thatās why they do fuck all in the mornings
Same here.
My nipper is at Uni of Manchester. Took him up at the beginning of the month to a house he is sharing with 8 mates. Weekend before last they were contacted by test and trace after a night out and all went for a test. 4 of them tested positive, including the lad and all of those have no symptoms. The whole house is self isolating for 14 days and it sounds like they are sticking to it. So far itās sounds like it is a FIFA tournament and takeaway pizza frenzy. The vast majority of students who will get it will have no problems with it. Providing they observe the isolation and donāt go out and are mindful of those who are more susceptible to problems, then they should be fine and will have antibodies and wonāt be some sort of pariah when the travel home at Xmas. A lot of youngāuns get a bad press and i think that is unfair.

Parliament scraps alcohol sale exemption
Alcohol will no longer be sold in Parliament after 22:00, officials have announced, amid a row over the revelation that bars and restaurants used by MPs and Lords were exempt from the coronavirus restrictions.
Earlier the Times reported that venues in the parliamentary estate were not subject to the early closing time rule brought in this month because they were designated a āworkplace canteenā.
Labourās Dawn Butler described the situation as "outrageousā¦ one rule for MPs one rule for everyone else", while Care Minister Helen Whately said āParliament shouldnāt be sitting round late at night drinkingā.
Within hours of the story emerging, a Parliament spokesperson issued a statement saying: āAlcohol will not be sold after 10pm anywhere on the parliamentary estate.ā
In line with the governmentās guidance, catering facilities will remain open later than 22:00 when the house is sitting, to serve food for MPs and staff still working.
Labourās deputy leader Angela Rayner reacted to the announcement, saying Parliament āmustā follow the rules set for the rest of the population.

How about people actually start taking responsibility for their own actions and actually going home.
Soon itās going to get to the point where they wonāt be able to go to pubs as theyāll be shut (again!!!)
I know, I know, personal liberties and all that, I know itās shit but flagrantly breaking the ārulesā is just going to make the ārulesā tougherā¦

Testwood hotel was once clsssed as works csnteen
I hear him, i really do, but is the lockdown the reason why deaths are so low, if we didnāt have this restriction on our lives would more people have caught it and therefore more people have died from it?
I donāt know myself but, to be honest, Iād rather not play Russian Roulette with anyoneās life let alone my own.
Iām also of the understanding that most covid related deaths are Co-morbid ones. So is covid really the 24th in the death stakes. Average deaths would suggest 60k+ extra have died this year, surely there arenāt 23 diseases with a higher death rate. If there were that would be 12m+ people dying a yearā¦
Now that Iāve waded in and proved āthe scienceā wrong, we can all just get on with our lives.
I might have said something profound but Iāll never know cause I got quickly bored of listening to myself spout bollocks, again and again andā¦
