George Floyd copper

I agree. Itll either return things to normality more quickly or cause carnage.

 

Think Cummings brought that on.

All last week the government could have said something about going to the beaches and didn't.

It's all too late now.

 

@Frank Castle went to us mums today is he thick?

If you think people are not seeing their family now or friends then you're delusional.

The government are easing things and want to get the economy back plus do Brexit.

 

That wasn't the point we were making but as explained thousands were on the beaches last week. Think that's worse than people protesting for good reason. Government said nothing last week and did nothing.

 

No mate I didn't and wasn't protesting either. I fully understand the rule but when you've government going to second houses, cracking on as normal, doing their jobs and only seem bothered about able to go on holiday this summer then I can understand people breaking it.

Leaders should lead by example

 

Fordy, it's not a game of cheating, those that break the rules are dicing with death, nowt clever about that....

 

I agree mate.. but people are bored now and just taking their frustrations out. It's going to get worse unfortunately.

The UK and US have handled covid 19 extremely badly so far.

 

Yes and when Cummings got away with it then it was always going to result in others ending the lockdown.

 

Our country is completely fecked!

 

Our country is one of the least prejudiced, most free, most equal countries in the world. And yet we see riots on our streets akin to the dark days of apartheid in south Africa, or racial segregation in the US, or opposition to the war in Vietnam. Complete madness.

 

So no proper track and trace till September at least, but easing lockdown a few months before its properly in place?

I don't know the data, but for people on the Furlough, will there be sufficient demand that they have a job to go back too?

Mass redundancies for Christmas, not controlling this virus and then end of Brexit transition for New Year. I'm I being too pessimistic and over dramatic?

Also pushing to get the social distancing limit down to 1m from 2m, but UK scientists not apparently playing ball so far.

Want to get seasonal businesses open for summer or they fear they will go under.

Trying to negotiate travel corridors with popular holiday destinations so that the whole self imposed quarantine issue is sidestepped.

Current timeline on some loosening is reported as Beer gardens -Late June, Holidays - June 28, Theme parks - July 4, Weddings - before Mid-Jul

Basically, mate the guidelines have gone. The government want to crack on with things now.and don't care anymore.

 

In the dark days of the Empire, we took slavery and ‘perfected’ it - we are one of the most prejudiced countries ever. Sad, but true.

 

Aye... if only Sadiq Khan hadn't got rid!

 

He has NO sense of reality.

 

There are still problems but generally you are bang on, this country is a great place to live in term of equality and prejudice although you wouldn't think so judging by the medias ill informed comments. I sense the scenes we have seen in London over the past week or so have had a negative effect on what at the beginning in America was a movement for justice for George Floyd. Hijacking by anti facists for their own agenda weakens the effect of the protests.
