Sometimes you have to stare the cow in the arse and look at the facts in your face.

Brilliant.

People don't have common sense. Look at what's already happening, people going out a lot more, loads more cars on the road than two weeks ago, people wondering around the shops as normal mostly in couples or with their teenager kids who could easily be left at home/in the car, all because they got a sniff of the exit strategy.

God knows what it's going to be like next week.

Our local garage has a decent sized coop attached to it. They were only allowing 2 people in at a time. Yesterday I went in and there were no restrictions. It was packed

He’s not Churchill. He’s Chamberlain.

Zero exit strategy in Scotland yet I’ve just been out myself to screwfix ?‍♂️Essential?? Not really if I was to be honest but credit to screwfix they have it reasonably well sorted. Went past a retail park containing a B&Q, bargain world, M &S etc and  the place was rammed with long queues. You either go solid lock down or not the halfway house we are seeing is not really working. Even the burger van next to screwfix was open. Truth is many have had enough of being told to stay at home simple as that.

Boris is to blame for everything Mark from corona to the price of fish, now that we have established that can you put up as many positive ideas as to how we do things better as you have done with the relentlessly negative and political posts. 
Sad but not surprising to see the political points scoring and posturing from all sides during what is a nation wide issue.

Sounds like you've been to Union Square.

Did anyone mention mixed messages?, the likes of screwfix (not diy stores) are open because there is a need to keep tradesmen in supply so they can carry on working. How's that work on bigger sites when folk are mingling with each other?

Let's face it he is to blame for how bad it is in the country. We had the advantage of hindsight but sat back and watched it take country by country and did nothing. China went from dealing with a never before seen virus to having it pretty much under control in 3 months. Ministers said they went to meeting to discuss it in January but 5 months on its rife in the UK. Not condoning the markets in China that enabled this virus to cross species but their subsequent handling puts us to shame.
