Coronavirus - political views - supporting or otherwise...

BBC have a new game .

Return to any version of normality in the rest of the World - lets all celebrate triumph over adversity!!!

Return to any version of normality in "England" - foolhardy dicing with death!

mmm ;-)
Not how the BBC is reporting 'return to normality' in the USA...mind you - what can be normal in the USA given who they have 'in charge'.
 
Funny how only some politicos breaking the lock-down is newsworthy? I would have though MPs are more of more interest than advisors? I guess it depends on their allegiance.
Cummings story remains newsworthy, because Hancock's determination to stick with the PM's view rather undermines Hancock's essential message to us all on Test and Trace.

Contact Tracers access to the system proving problematic? Support tell them to keep hitting 'refresh'...well I suppose it's a step on from being told to 'shut down and restart' :)
 
Meanwhile Ian Blackford admits he travelled 600 mile to his estate in Scotland rather than stay in his subsidised London address.

Even you said why that is the case. I am of course wrong, I shouldnt have included the USA.

' :)

Do folk still "whoosh" on message boards?

You mean just as all MP’s from all parties did when Parliament was stood down, ie, went to their “home” address rather than stay in their subsidised London address’s.

How did this story break?
 
I'm so confused with Scotland. They didn't allow golf back until tomorrow as it was. When England did , yet now they are going to go even more lax than we in England currently are (could change tonight)

Mixed messages much

I can’t see that much difference to what we have right now and for the last 3 weeks ?

Unless that isn't the article I read on another site it said two households can meet in gardens but must respect social distancing .. up to 8 people

So family and friends can meet in garden

That's very different

You mean you haven't noticed the 'almost back to normal' amount of traffic on the roads?!
Certainly been a jump in traffic this week in the ones I (Key Worker) use - and hear pass my place!
 
Scottish Golf Union guidance includes 3 and 4 balls so long as the group originates from two households. Standby for the odd mixed 4 balls in the middle of 2balls.
(I am thinking that Boris will not want to be outdone by Nicola and may expand the England households meeting of one person to mirror Scotland guidance/restrictions of two households of no more than eight people very soon)
 
A curious little factette - that my reading (of The History of Scotland by Agnes Mure Mackenzie) suggests is in fact true...

John Baliol - King of Scotland before Robert the Bruce - was born in Barnard Castle (!) and had the nickname Toom Tabard - which roughly translates from Scots as Empty Jacket - on the basis of him being a useless leader with no idea :)

And then came King Robert I - a very different sort of leader.
