That’s shit - your School should have tried to give you some kind of info as to their approach to put your mind at ease.

SMT approach is to leak stuff to HoDs to then share with us and canvass opinion before deciding what to do. I have also had nothing through about going up the main scale so it seems like I’ve burned myself out this year for no rise. If it continues as is next year I’ll look more closely at leaving the profession and going back into science.

I see a false flag is being raised about covid deaths being recorded where they reckon the person died of something else. It is being stirred up by Hancock etc and lapped up by morons.
It's complete ignorance of what goes on a death certificate and the seriousness with which they're completed by very well trained people. This country is going down the tubes, it is full of unthinking idiots.

Yep. Just there to deflect.

Technically almost no-one has died of AIDS. Usually end up dying of pneumonia.

Same with cancer - what finishes most off is an infection the body is too weak to fight.

Even if it doesn't kill them Covid could be the difference between someone dying and someone not. Why I'm fearful of big numbers in winter - if people have damaged lungs from Covid it could make a massive difference in being able to fight off cold, flu or pneumonia

Where have we seen that shit approach before...

Also if you are on mainscale (M1-6) you should be moved up automatically. It’s only when you get to M6 and want to go through threshold or move up UPS that you have to ‘apply’ to move up. If you're being told otherwise it’s not true, irrespective of performance management.

That should be brought up straight away. It's an outright lie that will be in Hansard as well as having on video. How on earth they think they can get away with these blatant lies is unfathomable.

Maybe we need a points system whereby conduct and providing untrue/misleading info etc can result in ineligibility for (shadow)cabinet up to eventual deselection depending on severity and how often.

Although knowing them it'd be 20 points for failing to address the speaker correctly , 3 points for lying to the house and 1 point for lying in public.

You are right, but his oblivious ignorance may be a factor in our return to lockdown if it’s replicated across the country.

Would love to be optimistic but just having Johnson get up and say everything will be back to usual by Xmas while the experts are saying the opposite doesn't give me reason to.

We're just hearing soundbites from the government, there not showing any actual plan as to how they will achieve getting back to normal.

IMO this is Johnson saying "we're doing it anyway". It's got to a point where they've decided the economic impact is too big so if people have to die so be it.

I wouldn't expect any politician to be honest about a decision like that though. Not just political suicide but would make you a pariah

Which is why you need the opposition to highlight it and give a viable alternative. This idea that Starmer can hold off until everything is over and there's an enquiry is a joke. Already see Conservative voting friends, who are far from politically engaged, calling him Mr Hindsight.

What? You mean just pretending it has vanished doesn't mean it has.
827 new cases which are basically spread back predominantly this week, they tend to report a low number on the day itself then revise afterwards. Safe to say cases are going back in the wrong direction again.

It is a Sunday but it is nice to see single figures. Would be nice to have a day with none soon.

Still got a feeling it's going to have an impact in one form or another when it starts to get colder.

Hundreds descend on Hyde Park to protest against wearing masks ahead of new rule

Large groups of people gathered in the capital to protest the new regulations that come into force on July 24, when shoppers in England must wear face masks
www.mirror.co.uk

The fucking state of these, I can understand if people have health issues where it might stop them from breathing but it's a fucking mask. Keep one in your car, chuck it on when you want to go into shops or anywhere. It really isn't that big a deal.

Exactly, it's weird shit. 5g flat earth stuff.

To be honest, I don't really want to wear a mask and haven't but if it needs to be done it needs to be done.
