Official figures show the UK has recorded 48,161 positive COVID cases and 25 further deaths in the latest 24-hour period

and that's with a weekend lag!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yep, Itll start getting messy this week, will be close to 100 deaths a day midweek
----------------------------------------------------------------------
14-21 days after your Freedom is restored should be interesting. Good timing from my POV as our idiot in chief is considering opening the southern border and allowing Americans in.
These cants don't even realise their constitutional rights ain't worth a hill of beans here. The numbers who show up with their guns is fekin unreal. Then they often get quite upset at finding out that Canada is a different country with its own laws.

Oh yes, this is going to take off big time.

We should have waited for mathematical herd immunity. But there we go.

Happy virus free dumb day.

I’m in a bad place.

Not mentally, I just live in the UK.

A colleague of mine has had to isolate, he's a reserve fireman and went out on a call Thursday, Saturday morning he got a ping because one of the guys in the fire engine tested positive.

Can he go isolate at chequers the same as Boris?

You'd think these people would be celebrating. Or, is throwing bottles at cops considered celebration in the UK nowadays? Bladdy morons. I guess this could be used as proof that mental health care is needed throughout British society.

I really really dislike Alistair Campbell....

But..

A few surprises today,

1) only 3 of my 30 colleagues at work today decided not to wear a face covering

2) saw someone I deliver to in the co-op today, said "Hi Lauren, Isolation over?" (One of her kids had a positive PCB test) to which she responded "Freedom Day isn't it! I'm so glad, I got bored of isolation and I was worried I'd have to isolate again because <Two of her other kids> are sick now too"

Me..

Good news. OPEC has agreed to increase production. I wonder if this is in line with limiting GHGs.

Oh dear!



Have t ventured far today but most people in Sainsbury’s and most coming out of the tube station were still wearing masks.

Ben & Jerry's says it will no longer sell its ice cream in the West Bank and east Jerusalem. It's seen as one of the highest-profile rebukes by a well-known company of Israel’s policy of settling its citizens on war-won lands sought by Palestinians.

It'll come to nothing, like the last one

Staggering if true but totally believable.

I have no idea what this Cummings guy wants? He was a loyal friend and he broke the covid rules and certainly deserve a sack.

Why the Vendetta?

He should have kept his mouth shut and by this time he probably would be in a big position just like the guy Brokenshire who hired an illegal immigrant while he was minister for immigration. Now, I think he is in the cabinet.

Problem with Cummings is that he's still lieing over the trip to Barnard Castle.

I'm not buying any of this security concern, he would have been given protection if true, it's got the feel of "Oh I came up with a better excuse now"

That said, I believe most of what he's saying about Johnson, with the huge proviso that it's being embellished.

Had he proven any of his previous accusations I would give him more credence.

So someone involved in Brexit has finally admitted that the £350m we could give to the NHS was complete BS.

I didn't believe a word of it when it became the Brexit slogan, anyone who did has been confirmed as a gullible idiot.
