In the grand scheme of things a coach won't cost much. You can hire a 16 sleeper tour bus (the type touring musicians live on) for £500 a day so a Harry Shaw coach to London and back should be affordable. Not like they're going to be swamped with bookings at the moment.

I like fireworks as much as the next person but its got out of hand. Started about 5pm last night and was constant until well after midnight. Has already started again tonight, fortunately seems to be just the odd handful of people tonight. It now seems like we have 3 months of it. Fortunately...

Isn't there a limit (90 days?) to how long you can keep using a UK license in the EU? Government website says you need to change to a local license, should be up to date as it was published yesterday. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/driving-in-the-eu-uk-licence-holders-living-in-the-eu

Think this is the key. We need to start seeing announcements of trade deals that are significantly better than the terms we had as members of the EU. And of course worth remembering that the EU are also going to be working to access emerging markets and do a trade deal. Its not an emerging...

Everyday at work I'm dealing with companies who have their offices open and staff in when there is absolutely no reason their business couldn't continue uninterrupted with everyone working from home. What I can't understand is that even when they brought in the new tiers they admitted only...

Hopefully with vaccines, even if it means the vulnerable getting an annual shot as they do with flu, and improved treatments we can get things back to normal and it really does become similar to getting the flu. If we get to that stage within 18 - 24 months of the Wuhan outbreak that is an...

There seems to be less people moving onto ventilation which is obviously a good thing. Assume that is down to increased knowledge of how to treat covid. At the first peak there was 21,683 in hospital and 3,301 on ventilators. We're currently at 23,813 in hospital but ventilator numbers are 1,847.

Don't know what you're complaining about :ROFLMAO:

What happened to the communicty mass testing that the governement said was being rolled out in Coventry weeks ago, did that ever happen? Is there any reason that capacity can't be used for schools rather than hoping parents will do the job? Doesn't this risk leaving schools in poorer areas...

Not sure how you can say "people saying we don’t won’t be in the know" and then assert that we definitely will. Recent history suggests we don't bring in many first team regulars in January yet for some reason we have people that think this season, when we have one of the smallest budgets in...

No shock that a young player isn't breaking through at Spurs. Was more wondering why 2 teams he's been loaned to have barely had him on the pitch.

What's the story here? Played one season for Leeds, appearing in 25 games, and then signed by Spurs for millions. Has only played 2 Europa League games for them since. Last season he was loaned out twice and only managed 3 starts in cup competitions, taken off in all 3 games, and came on as sub...

Is he grandstanding? He was one of 52 MPs who abstained, he wasn't even one of the 73 MPs who voted against it. Not sure why anyone is really concerned about how he votes, he's no longer leader, in fact he's not even a Labour MP. How he votes is pretty much insignificant in a parliament where...

Not sure it will work like that. If Brexit is a success the Conservatives will claim the credit. If its a disaster anytime Starmer brings up anything about it being a bad deal it will just be batted away with 'you voted for it'.

"The problem is not the schools the issue is the spread from the mixing of households that naturally takes place in schools" That's a hell of a quote from Johnson, not sure he realises what he's said there. Empty school buildings are safe but schools with kids in aren't.

Certainly not my view but I think getting public support for a strike during a pandemic would be very tricky. As you say this is something where Labour should be totally behind the teachers.

The situation in Greenwich is weird. The local authority tried to close schools early before Christmas due to an increasing rate of infections. This resulted in the government threatening them with legal action and forcing them to stay open. The government then shut schools early before...

Most of the country is in tier 4, the highest tier possible at present, so surely all those areas are very high rates of infection and therefore schools will be closed?

Would be quicker just to say who isn't in tier 4! Is there any difference between what you're allowed to do in tier 4 and what was allowed in national lockdown?
