If anywhere is already well-versed in using PPE it’s nail bars.

1m plus where 2m is not possible.

So they haven't signed off on 1m being safe then

To me that says 1m is only acceptable due to economic pressures not health and safety.

So 1m is not safe but we value the economy more than the lives of our citizens.

Why does it seem that Starmer has a far greater knowledge of what is needed to reopen industries than the PM?

Embarrassing and people are asking him friendly questions and offering to support him

Because Starmer actually was attentive to his job before getting into politics. Johnson has always been a chancer in it for the shits and giggles.

Once again you talk utter shite

1) He didn't actually back him did he. He asked for the medical advise to be made public

2) Once again why do you persist with the notion that we don't want to see the country reopen? We've explained this to you many times.

3) Mr u-turn? Is this a nickname given to him due to the amount of times Boris has had to u-turn after PMQs? As Starmer hasn't actually u-turned on anything as he isn't the fucking PM you clot.

I do worry about you

So when we explain to you it is best to wait until it is actually safe (it's not at the moment or the would reduce 2m to 1m universally) as we'd rather people didn't die and it fact the demand side shock to the economy would be a lot worse if we reopen and then have to tighten again which even Boris says is a possibility. This extra demand side shock couple with the current demand side shock would mean more people would lose their jobs.

All you'll says is "DERP DERP THERE WON'T BE ANY MORE TIGHTENING DERP DERP BORIS LADDD" l

Economics isn't a strong point either of yours is it.

He misses a lot of things such as people explaining it is timing and safety issues, pubs not being open is costing the company I work for money.

The problem is, in a general sense, that I'd like to think I'm reasonably disposed to following a government at times like this. I'm also happy they'll make mistakes, things won't pan out as anticipated, and it'll be rocky.

I'd like them to front it up, though. The problem is with the way they play it, is it's hard to tell which bits I *should* believe among it all!

Yep. I can handle mistakes. This is something that hasn't been seen for generations so it's largely uncharted territory. Mistakes will inevitably be made. If they said 'we've made some mistakes but we're learning from them to improve our response' I could give them more leeway. (Of course the issue with the care homes does make me suspect a more sinister motive and plan)

But I really can't stand is the constant lying and saying how great the response has been and blaming everyone else bar themselves for any mistakes. No wonder it's taking us longer to get the numbers down because there is absolutely no-one willing to take accountability for the choices made.

The thing is, it's not even unreasonable to make mistakes, or more information to come to light to change the decision making. Take the 2m rule, I see that other countries have less than us, so I can be disposed to a change... if it's explained properly.

As it is, it reads like Ian Duncan-Smith ended up running government after all.

What hasn't been mentioned much in among all this is all the shielded people are expected to go back to work. Now that seems a particularly odd decision to me. I can accept letting them out the house etc for their own sanity(!) but expecting them to be 1m away from people because it's not practicasl to sell more burgers otherwise...?
