    I remember reading about that and seeing he tried to throw his wife under the bus in the process. What a cretin. Great read, though

    UK has been leading the way in almost every facet of this shit, as much as it pains the commentators to admit it.

    This was good though:

    A load of Pfizer was wasted as they'd been told to only use 5 dosages of 0.3ml out of a 1.8m vial.

    Nor should you. I honestly find it very hard to watch the cricket from down under, especially NZ, because of the spectre of full grounds etc as I am confined to my flat for another three months.

    My cricket club has had an absolute field day with those grants, so far spent it on relaying the ground, another round of them might just see a champagne jacuzzi facility installed pitchside.

    They might be demented with the trauma and stunted educational and social development of the last 12 months but at least our next generation will still be competitive in the Ashes.

    On further good news, I note it's FA Cup weekend coming up so that's less football to distract us from the dark empty void in our hearts and souls.

    Whoever runs the Fianna Fáil Twitter page stuck up that they’re closing the schools til end of January before deleting it because the announcement is tomorrow. Nothing riles up the type of cunt that phones into the radio more than a teacher being off.

    The NI Executive at Stormont was supposed to meet yesterday evening after the four nations briefing thing with Boris to tighten our restrictions. Then it was apparently off and they'd meet this morning. Then they did meet but only put out a holding statement and said they'd meet today.

    They didn't meet until this afternoon at 4pm. Then that was paused during it for some reason and they're currently still meeting.

    And now this:




    Absolutely fucking useless.

    Is the executive not piloted by two women who absolutely can't stand the sight of each other? A truly magnificent platform for government.

    I saw this last night but didn't post it because I figured there must be some sort of reasonable explanation for it and didn't want to go claiming premature e-victories.

    Anything to do with institutional inertia in the public sector is a safe bet. There are good people but the institutional dynamism required for this sort of thing just does not exist.

    They could have done with somebody in government who has written extensively about this sort of thing.

    I did think 'fair fucking play to the sort of melt who believes so strongly as to put layers on and step out for this'.

    My other related thoughts today include:

    - is there actually a ceiling to how long/many of these lockdowns people will swallow*? What would a rebellion even look like to these melts?
    - am I experiencing classic long-COVID? The fatigue in the last hour or two has been bad. I just thought it was lacl of exercise/sunlight/life but I imagine if some fatty wasteman was experiencing this, I could see why they might make a big deal of it.
    * - A geezer on a work call just dropped the word 'acquiesce' when talking about a customer's request and yet I get the insults for my vernacular? That's brexit britain for you.

    On the how long question, my guess would be that if it's found that the double dose of vaccine doesn't offer immunity beyond a few months and we're essentially back to square one as a result, we'll need a plan B.

    In that case Plan B would just be routine vaccinations and going back to normal. What else could you do?

    This, if the health service couldn't cope and leaders couldn't come to terms with natural selection. The majority would disagree by some point (if we haven't got there already) but aside from tweet about it, I wonder just how many would have the gumption to make any sort of stand.

    PS. Long COVID is in the mind. Just did my stretches routine and feeling fine.

    You could stay locked down forever. I reckon there are a bigger than you'd think chunk of the population who genuinely want this. The pro-lockdown polling hasn't budged at all since day one.

    And as a reminder, it splits only by age (the older the more cautious) and gender (the more female the more cautious). Politics etc not a factor at all even though both sides on twitter have been desperate to make it about politics/the culture war all along.
