I might book that extra week in September after all.
ABC Perth with a nice bit of trolling.

Wait until you guys get Windows XP. Honestly, game changing.
7 deaths in Scotland reported so basically 7 since Saturday. Jesus. I’ve also just realised beer gardens can open in phase 2 which should start next Thursday.
The wee dyke better not bottle this.
Stuff opens on Monday. I can probably think about a haircut and some new shoes. And erm ... masks and shit.
Hairdressers aren't included, much to my chagrin.
Betting shops opening a day before Royal Ascot in England. Christ.

Man, what a run.
When I worked in a Working Man's Club behind the bar the corner set up with a couple of stools and seats to facilitate drinking at the bar was known as 'Death's Corner' :D
That's pretty good.
I see they're talking of Nightingale schools now which presumably is the only way you're going to get the schools open short of getting them in on a shift rota. Get the fucking little cunts injected with the virus and locked into a 14 day camp, you limp-wristed fuckwits.

How dare you.
So ... America's reopening appears to have kicked off second waves in 14 states.
Yeah but they have FREEDOM once again.
Sorted.
Absolutely staggering (to the point when I sometimes feel like these people are trolling) that a grown adult can still think like that.
It's now 21 US states showing a spike. Mass gatherings like weddings and funerals are being considered a factor. That's before whatever backlash from the protests hit.
Ironically, BLM has actually given the man a nice lifeline from the 2nd wave.
If I get another month off because crusties in Bristol binned a statue of someone nobody had heard of then I might have to re-evaluate them. Perhaps baling twine as a dog lead was the answer all along.
The whole farrago has definitely taken the heat off Boris/Cummings here.
:sherlock:
Also managed to hide the "track and trace" fiasco being "live" but not live. My friend has been working track and trace for a fortnight and not been given a single name to call for £200 a shift.
I reckon when Cummings went to Barnard Castle, the real purpose of his trip was to visit a time travel porthole, go back to 1670 and tell Edward Colston to get involved in the slave game. 24D chess.

Immunity passports seem back on trend. Those coronavirus parties sound like a good excuse for debauchery :drool:
Release the antibody tests already ffs. I was waiting for that but I may phone GP this week and arrange a visit regardless as I'm past day 100 of anosmia with little sign of improvement.
This government hasn't done austerity and has no interest in it. Pre-covid they were all about building stairs to the moon and introducing fire in Yorkshire. Post-covid they have bailed everyone out in a way many Conservatives would hate.
The Cameron lot trying to cut costs, yeah.
Presumably we would have reduced it even further had we not decided to pop out to get our dicks wet, too.
We were a couple of weeks late is hardly a hot take at this point, blindingly fucking obvious even at the time.
Especially as the lockdown we did do had no border control to it. Seems that most of the infections we picked up in the initial stages were from Spain, France and Italy.

Almost none of it from China, it seems.
We're lifting all covid-related restrictions from June 20th.
:joy:
None of you cunts are welcome though, sorry.
Widespread John Arne level of smugness, our head honcho is going on about 'leading the world' right now. :face:
I was evidently mistaken when I said PM of New Zealand was the easiest world leader job going.
Boris is coming under ferocious pressure to reduce the 2m social distancing to 1m, god bless 'the scientists' and their wheel of fortune public health policy.
Captures it pretty well
It really is magnificent nonsense.
My parents can see me indoors, but only because I'm single - my partnered up brother and my married sister will have to wait in the garden.
However, if my mum stays at home, the rest of us can all go for a game of basketball.
Now is not the time for cultural appropriation.
Toggle Spoiler
The inventor of basketball. Our game was stolen from us.
It's basically done, yet we're somehow managing to fist the unravelling of it all as well.
And what the fuck is with "here's a nice thing you can now do, but you can't do it immediately, you need to wait for an arbitrary amount of time before you can" seemingly being the approach to all of the rules being relaxed.
Seriously, what is the logic behind it? Why does our approach to this and most of what our scientific advisers say make no sense at all? Is it some form of experiment?
Absolute joke.
The civil service (and Twitter, actually) is set up to view the world as a series of evidence-based transactions, rather than as a place where people just do what feels right for them right now.
The panic stage feels a long, long time ago.
I assume you're looking for a more nuanced answer than 'base incompetence'?
Apparently our parent organisation is functioning 'normally', that is to say meeting all of its legal requirements, with three quarters of its staff still sitting at home. That is the sort of thing people need to be thinking about not having the balls to get things back to normality.
These test and trace stats are very positive (gonna go wank at some leftist twitter wankers as a result) even with all that Netflixing. Now let's out the snitches.
Yeah, 70% for asymptomatic carriers is encouraging.
I meant the amount of melts they've managed to convince to isolate but that stat they quoted caught my ear too. He said it was to do with an ONS study, I'll have a look at it tonight but that seemed very off and cause to OPEN THE FUCKING BEER GARDENS if that's true.
