Education Secretary Gavin Williamson has confirmed in the House of Commons that the UK government is not going ahead with its plan to see all English primary school pupils return to classes for four weeks before the current term ends in July.
Another u-turn incoming. Be interesting to see what those that were desperately defending the governments plan to re-open schools while the likes of scientists and teachers said it was wrong make of this.
People seemed to forget that countries like Denmark have much better and newer school infrastructure.The plan was simply not possible in a good number of primary schools with the lack of space. Some will be able to, and I think in July those who can socially distance everyone should re-open, but I've no idea how many this applies to.

If only the tories had not cancelled the building schools for the future fund

Not been stated mate, just opening back up to supporters.Are they after a complete reopening or reduced capacity?
They play in blue and Yellow, Yellow being the strong colour. Get your ass back here and let's watch a game, live footy (City back in the Championship confirmed) wish i had the money to go out and celebrate, still i've had 4 pints of larger and 2 pints of Vodka and Lemonade and got 6 cans back at home, friends have been buying me drinks all day.They play in blue and white. Reminds me actually, the time I came to meet you to watch the Sunderland match the cab driver said I looked like Vinny Samways, who played for them. Ha ha ha.
My god she’s a drip.
We need to get them open, do you want them all to close for good or something? Weird mindset that isHaving said that zoo's couldn't open as it wasn't safe after another u-turn it seems zoo's are safe to open.

Is anyone still pretending we're 'following the science'?
No Dim, we want them to open once safeWe need to get them open, do you want them all to close for good or something? Weird mindset that is
No it’s not - it’s merely wanting things to open and return safely so we don’t have to lock up all over again. This hap-hazard approach that is not consistent with their OWN plan and guidance puts a return to normality at risk the most.We need to get them open, do you want them all to close for good or something? Weird mindset that is
Yup. FWIW I think both announcements (schools and museums) are positive things as they've listened to the advice and entreaties of people, and been prepared to change their minds. Not going to have a go at them for that myself.Dom, when people jump on you for being enthusiastic about numbers coming down they're dead wrong about you celebrating death or whatever the accusation may be, similarly when you jump on people who don't want everything suddenly open it also doesn't mean they want everything closed forever.

The amount of published deaths in hospital yesterday is equivalent to an ENTIRE average sized primary school.We need to get them open, do you want them all to close for good or something? Weird mindset that is

Why do you seem to think that the only two options for just about everything are either open them immediately or close them forever?
It' so weird. You realise there is quite a big gap in between those two choices with plenty of options?
Binary Dom.
People finally starting to realise what they voted for.
I wonder if Grendel is still boasting about Johnson having the best approval rating of all time.
Not that he ever did. It was always a my dad is harder than your dad argument from Grendull.People finally starting to realise what they voted for.

No I don't want them to close for good. If you look back over this thread you'll see I posted a few days ago, when zoos were told by the government that they would't be able to open as planned, questioning the decision.We need to get them open, do you want them all to close for good or something?

The issue is that we're supposed to be following the science. So why do they keep making public announcements and then when there's a backlash change their mind? Its not just on issues related to coronavirus either, they do it with everything, if not formal announcements things are leaked out in advance to gauge the response. Its weak government and the last thing we need in a time of crisis.
How long is it until a reshuffle?
Have no Idea of what the quality is among the ranks but I'd expect 2-3 of the larger portfolios changing.
Trouble is they lost a few sane one's after the election.
That doesn't make good reading for the government and their choice to not impose any restrictions on people coming into the country. Was bad enough before but if studies are now showing "the UK's coronavirus epidemic was largely initiated by travel from Italy in late February, Spain in early-to-mid-March and then France in mid-to-late-March" then it would suggest if the government had acted early and decisively, similarly to New Zealand, the results could be very different.

It was surely obvious that locking down sooner, more effectively and more strictly, but for a shorter period, would leave us better off economically than one long loose, vague, semi-lockdown?
