Raab, Whitty, And Vallance Today

Stay Home This Easter

I'm glad to hear that Boris is in "good spirits", because no **** else is.

I am!!   Well not spirits but cases of beer
just arrived

priorities old boy priorities

Why are the media constantly banging on about an "exit strategy"? And speculating aout lifting restrictions? From what I can see, far too many people are not getting the message as it is. FFS! How irresponsible can you get? The media are doing as much damage as the virus. Dumb barstards!

I think I'll join you, moisik. I was ready to quit alcohol, but it is becoming a necessity now.

Johnson nailed it when he feared lockdown too early would be hard to maintain and wanted to delay as long as possible.

Lockdown was too late more deaths than necessary,the lockdowns great sunbathing,sitting with family great time to refelect nothing should happen till june 1st.

Britain could be just days away from a 'stop-and-search' regime after police threatened to rummage through shopping trolleys looking for 'non-essential' items and introduce road blocks as people continue to flout the coronavirus regulations.

Police chiefs are calling for laws to ban Britons from driving long distances and flouting rules to exercise more than once a day ahead of a 77F (25C) Easter weekend. And Northamptonshire Police said the 'three-week grace period is over' and threatened that they may even soon start 'checking the items in baskets and trolleys'.

Its Chief Constable Nick Adderley said: 'We will not at this stage be starting to martial supermarkets and checking the items in baskets and trolleys to see whether it's a legitimate and necessary item. But again, be under no illusion, if people do not heed the warnings, and the pleas that I'm making today, we will start to do that.'

And he revealed: 'If things don't improve, and we don't get the compliance we would expect, then the next stage will be road blocks and it will be stopping people to ask why they are going, where they're going.'

What piece of work he is....

Nasty Nick has subsequently backtracked from his comments, doing a Trump and claiming that he never said them in the first place

Amd why am i still hearing fecking aircraft taking off and landing at all hours? Couldn't they have shut down all commercial flights and used the military for emergency repatriations etc? Who the feck would cram into an airliner with a load of strangers at a time like this? It's fecking madness!

Helicopters continue to fly over my head every day, taking workers back and forth from North Sea platforms.

well done des

you have to laugh a bit and take the mickey etc  otherwise we might all die of too much seriousness and a strange infatuation with death figure leagues  around the world.  the topics seem strangely obsessed.

having said that we have people striding along the river dogs and children  out the back of my house yards from my  back gate 

call me a hypochondriac  but I just don't fancy dying just yet  should I get a loud hailer and tell them to fk off like they do in cornwall  ?? ho ho ho

Holy **** Anjera that is frightening stuff

the various topics on here seem to be a strange obsession

anyway  shortly off to more soccerball betting - swedish friendly

Other than that supermarket part i think the police attitude has been quite good,mostly low key warnings,the road blocks is in force in Ireland and a necessity imo,you would end up with packed beaches parks
You are not allowed to go to a second home in Ireland either atm.

It seems a positive and cautiously optimistic briefing to now.

If i go to fetch essentials from supermarket, it would be folly not to buy other stuff while I'm there.
Its still a single trip.
Silly copper

I’d like to hear Whitty and Vallance explain how one catches a virus when in the open air.

^ totally agree with that, i can't fathom that one, you could have haemorroid cream there and that is your own business.

aaahChoooo   might be one answer

if any care,nhs,public service workers really want to no what raab thinks of you, read what he,s put in books your lazy,greedy moaning pack of koooonts

Italy's latest data. After four consecutive days of a falling number of new cases, the figures have risen for the last two days.
Total deaths up to 18,279, 636/604/542/610 the last four days.

I feel sorry for nhs workers  - all those hugely obese people to lift every day

for the 2nd time a tory chancellor manages to bankrupt the uk and gets an overdraft facility with the BOE, norman lamont will be so proud of rishi, and the torys continue with the you cant trust labour with the economy, and Maggie thatcher will so jealous of 10% unemployment

Seem to be backtracking when the "peak" is, they maintained this weekend, maybe unsure but......

10% of population estimated to have/had this,was that correct?

The rationale is that you should be in the supermarket for as short a time as possible.

Won't work Nick, not for me as I'm 'at risk'
If i go out I'm doing one trip getting all my stuff. Fewer trips imo means safety
If the coppers want only essentials bought then they had better marshall the supermarkets and tell them to just leave essentials on the shelves.

I don't understand what you mean when you say it won't work for you because you're at risk.

I agree entirely that fewer trips is better but I also agree that getting in and out of the store as quickly as possible is important.

In any case, it's a bit vague because what is an essential?  Milk, bread etc yes.  What about ham, biscuits, magazines?

Also, if you are at risk, why don't you get your groceries delivered?

Stay well.

I saw facebook posts telling friends to get to B n  M quick they've got jaccuzi,s in only 8 left

If they can't buy the stuff, they need to get the stuff off of the shelf so you can't buy them.

As long as you have essentials in your basket I see no harm in adding what might be considered as a few non essentials.

I'd shift the coppers away from the stores and get them to the parks and beaches where there are people openly flouting the rules.

Yes, I agree with you duffy and I think some supermarkets have done this.

What is wrong with going for a walk in the park?

Just ask the Nick Straker Band

That won't help the situation.
