No the insert buzz spin word here mutation.existsThe new strain doesn’t exist mate. If they’d just cancelled Joshua vs Pulev and closed Harrod’s then we’d all be back to normal by now.
it's not difficult is it?!
You could make the correlation with almost anything!
You’re probably right but as a parent the most difficult thing during the first lockdown was watching your kids rot. It was absolutely right to send them back but the issue is there’s been no joined up thinking. They could have gone back on reduced hours, the government wasted months not thinking about how to make schools Covid “safe”, they could have shortened the terms and extended half term and Xmas holidays ahead of Xmas etc. So many lost opportunity from a government scarred to govern during a crisis. Everything has been reactive not proactive and we keep paying the price for that and most likely will keep paying because this leopard can’t change it’s spots.Schools are obviously the issue. It was nowhere to be seen over summer and as soon as schools went back things skyrocketed. They’re keeping kids in schools because they’re encouraging parents to go to work. If they’re serious about sending cases down schools should lock down like the rest of the country.
There probably wouldn't be a "tier 4" if there was some common sense when coming up with the tiered bullshit in the first place.The new strain doesn’t exist mate. If they’d just cancelled Joshua vs Pulev and closed Harrod’s then we’d all be back to normal by now.

Glad to see you agree it’s the government’s bizarre handling of it all, and not some kind of cockney conspiracy, that’s to blame for this all going to shit. You got there in the end.
It's you banging on about conspiracies.
Still, now there's the super corona I guess those Nightingale hospitals might get some use?
At this moment in time schools are the biggest source of infection rates - especially Secondary. Anyone saying that is not true is deluded. 1000 kids missing freely in bubbles of 200+ a time, the mixing as a whole before and after school and all through the evenings and weekends.You’re probably right but as a parent the most difficult thing during the first lockdown was watching your kids rot.

Would you want Nick Jr bringing it home?

Some of the things like Tier 2 are so stupid it's hard to think they aren't being done on purpose for some reason.
You are beyond parody sometimes
Just adapt for a tiny period in your working life?
Sorry, it was a great idea and nobody could have foreseen a massive spike after that decision.
Was only a few days ago some prick was threatening to sue schools if they closed early.
My point is that they keep doing u turns and there's only so many times it can be due to being inept.But you want them open?
You've seen Boris Johnson, the amount of times he can be inept is limitless!My point is that they keep doing u turns and there's only so many times it can be due to being inept.
Yeah then there's all the highly educated Gimps around him.You've seen Boris Johnson, the amount of times he can be inept is limitless!

If they are going to close them anyway, not much of an issue to finish a couple of days earlier to get a head start for January.
I still think there was an opportunity to have some kind of campaign anyway, for business and individuals to donate old laptops etc they weren't using / had upgraded over the pandemic. Didn't necessarily have to be government bought everyone a new tablet.The councils wanted them closed early because they can see what most of us can about their big role in transmission. The government threatens to sue them then later goes for ‘Tier 4’. My point is teachers are much better equipped to deliver a short period of remote learning than we were to deliver months of it in March. Get everyone a device and internet over Christmas and deliver it remotely until we have x number of people vaccinated and the cases below a certain threshold.
We are going back into national lockdown in January anyway.

Just nonsense about manufacturing being back 100%Most will be going in other than certain office workers. All manufacturing is now 100% functioning. Supermarkets, shops, transport, take away hospitality and any offices that require office presence including accountants. Also oddly if people are working from home they are not supposed to be supervising children all day but actually working
What is she talking about? Utterly clueless
t's what grenners doesJust nonsense about manufacturing being back 100%
The thing that pissed me off the most this morning was after marr had used the head teachers comments saying the plans were impossible he comes back with most head teachers want the best for their children. Wtf I think all of them do and would know better than him what is and isn’t possible. Just a complete wankerThe problem with the closing schools argument is its full of caveats...its based on all the sensible and obvious things that SHOULD have been put in place, but haven't and won't be any time soon.
So the current bleak reality is closing schools in Jan will result in the most deprived becoming more so, the most vulnerable becoming more so, the most hungry becoming more so, the abused and neglected becoming more so all while millions of families are forced further into financial crisis due to the inability to earn.
Whilst it affects everyone, it massively and disproportionately hits those who are barely keeping their heads above as it is.
......it's a shite state of affairs Tommy, and all the fresh air in the world wont make any fucking difference

Is international travel banned too aside from emergencies?
We're quickly being banned from multiple countries because of the new strain. Bit rude, we allowed people into the country freely until June didn't we when it first arrived.Who knows what the fuck is going on?
You are absolutely spot on - what I would say that from a safeguarding/welfare point of view that a lot of schools that have cohorts like this (mine is one of them) are putting on additional things that they can do to mitigate this. We’ve been buying food parcels for vulnerable and FSM kids to take home over the break for example and even for kids to take home at the weekends in some cases. Daily welfare calls and home visits to kids at risk that started in the first lockdown, continued through summer and all term time holidays - and will continue during Xmas break and beyond.The problem with the closing schools argument is its full of caveats...its based on all the sensible and obvious things that SHOULD have been put in place, but haven't and won't be any time soon.
