NHS workers are, according to the Mrs WhatsApp work group, being mugged in London for their NHS passes.
All being advised to take them off as they leave work..
Anarchy is a footstep away.

Problem with this situations is the people who sadly are taken from us are never the ones who are a complete drain and won't be missed

Always the good ones
 
Posties to become more reactive, delivering prescriptions, food parcels etc,
Good move by Royal Mail.
Our nearest town set up a resilience group in the Autumn, bit like an urban mountain rescue team, dealing with all sorts of useful stuff.
They are now ramping up big time with many new volunteers, (y)
 
I know a pts driver who got priority in Tescos this morning, she is NOT a frontline worker. My partner is a renal nurse she has told me for years there are dozens upon dozens of nurses in the NHS that are lazy bast!ds, quite a few in her unit alone, so lets not just shout from the rooftops for them all.

I have been down the flat. Went for a 15m walk on Studland. Every one was behaving, it wasn't mobbed, it was just beautiful. And windy. Social distance, nothing open, just took some sandwiches and a flask, and had a lovely walk.

Oh, and someones dog was chasing a sheep, that got stuck half in a bramble bush, half in a water trough. Idiot here had to rescue it, and get covered head to foot in manky water and bramble scratches. Lovely. Sheep was ok though, so all ends well. They are not the brightest.

There’s good and bad in every profession in every walk of life.

Some people are still stepping up and doing the job though and when push comes to shove Nurses are there when you need them, so yes, right now let’s shout from every rooftop because we need every one of them!
 
On further reflection and seeing more scenes of crowds everywhere I fear the PM is failing badly and dangerously - quite possibly catastrophic by not being angry enough - not demanding that we do not go out - not conveying how deadly serious this is.

Seems to me he still wants to be liked. His message earlier today was far too ‘there there I know this is miserable what I am asking you to do and I really don’t want to spoil your pleasure, but you really must...‘ This isn’t good enough - the behaviour we have seen all over the country is insane and hellish dangerous.

The more I have seen the angrier I have got. When he was wittering on about not everyone having a garden to get fresh air and exercise and how important that is - many many more people in continental Europe live in flats and THEY are getting locked down. GET A GRIP JOHNSON!

I'm obviously coming from a biased perspective as I've had to listen to her going on about said lazy b'stards but yes you are absolutely correct. She works 3 days a week due to her shift pattern, she is about to go up to 5 days minimum to do what she can to assist, so to her and her likes, I raise a glass.

Stop trying to score political points, it's pathetic. The people who need to get a grip are the morons ignoring the perfectly clear advice.

I agree with your view of the publics behaviour but
You are slowly turning your posts into " let's slam Johnson"
He knows when he takes out the stick to replace the pleas, then there will be a lot of mayhem. The police won't cope and the army will be on the streets.
When it comes it will be the right thing to do, because as we know the public as a whole are not responding as they should.
For everyone like you who applauds the heavy measure , there will be one who condemns him.
It is a heavy decision to make. Once made ,there's no going back for a long while.
I think he will within a couple of days., if things don't improve.

It’s not political. If you think my post is political you actually don’t get it. Many of the public clearly have to be forced to do what is required of us ONLY the PM can make that happen.

We have some nice days weather coming after a rubbish winter and early spring and many people will be at home now expecting 80% pay - many will be out enjoying themselves - ENJOYING themselves - because they are not being FORCED to stay indoors.

Even small number of days delay will cause many hundreds of lives to be lost unnecessarily - there can bo no further delay. Our PM has the power to make this happen He does not have to rely on the goodwill and common sense of the public. He MUST use that power without any further delay.

Totally get where you are coming from HH1 heard it in bucket loads from Missis T..esp the ones that end up being gaffers and never liked getting poo on there hands.
But at the end of the day the laziness of a minority should not overlook the massive burden these nurses, doctors, healthcare workers, cleaners, returning retired NHS workers and every other poor sod that will be looking after our loved ones over the next few months. Inc Missis HH1.
Big up respect from Tash

Come on, I expect better from you. Look on Facebook at the interviews outside a pub in Manchester and I'm sure you'll find other cities too.

You'll also find that Scotland has now gone through the courts to have the legislation to force clubs to close and that has come into effect NOW.

Maybe Westminster should have forced this through before asking those places to shut. It should have been mandatory not a plea which allowed some publicans to cash in up and down the length of Britain while they legally could.

I wasn’t on social media or looking for anything, as my post clearly states, on Absolute Radio news, as I was driving home, it stated ‘many pubs’ in Scotland refused to close.

I’ve simply reported what I heard, I couldn’t post it earlier or look for any similar news stories to compare as I was driving and that would have been illegal, I wouldn’t want to ruin my perfect character record now, would I ??
