Did anyone see that muppet Matt Hancock’s response when questioned as to “how many people had been checked that they’ve been observing the rules whilst they’ve been in quarantine”, “ I don’t know the answer to that question” “How many people do you have making these checks?” Same answer. Hapless cunt.
ok, how would you police that people are staying in quarantine?
When I had my week off week of self isolation, I made sure that I stayed at home with no contact for 5 days however i know someone that only did 4 as she said 'its only one day' and went to get her fkn hair cut.
Yep,get that 100%, a colleague of my Mrs has a partner /husband who snuck of to his local after work, he was then contacted by “Track & Trace” after leaving his details with the pub,problem for him was,that his Mrs was shielded as her Ma has a terminal brain tumour,needless to say ,she threw him out on his arse!

I’ve now got some suitable IT (in the form of a tricked-up Surface Pro 7) which will allow me to work from home, this after only almost 5 months, but at least I can support my colleagues in the office, although that said, I cannot see myself returning there anytime soon, unless there’s either an effective vaccine, or therapy. My (UK Civil Service) Department are now asking if employees would prefer either to work from home ,in the office, or a mixture of the two. Utterly fucked up. BTW on a related subject, has anyone booked a European holiday this year? I'm in the Canaries as we speak. So will you have to quarantine when you return to UK?

So we've got lockdown extended another 6 weeks, with a nice 8pm curfew thrown in for good measure.
Fuck sake, it's like I'm 14 again. I'll have to grab a 2 litre bottle of cider to really take me back.

I visited two supermarkets yesterday, Wing yip in Manchester and Morrisons near me, the difference was unreal. Every single person in Wing yip had a mask on. Everyone. In Morrisons, they are not wearing them or totally wearing them wrong! Its supposed to cover your nose as well. Had a guy kicking off because he had to queue to get in, no mask on! Sometimes I wish I could live on a fucking island somewhere!

Going to be so many people out of work, basically everything closed accept supermarkets, butchers, and pharmacists. So glad me and the wife can work from home everyday, it's a real strain though. On a positive note my order of absinthe came last week so that was good timing

We’re monitoring it up here in Sydney, a few hot-spots, averaging 17 new cases a day. Hopefully people will continue to do the right thing and we won’t be in our Southern neighbour’s situation!

Disgraceful.
