Seems like a decent enough summary.
Bubbles a possibility at the 1st June Step Two stage. The logic of allowing meeting up with one outside but no more is peak COVID era nonsense. Buzzing to see that policed, too.
London needs bombing.
Just wait for the next train, man.
The next train is always busier.
There is no next train, on the tube. There is the same train, 200 times a day, packed to the gills.
I'd love to rim Starmer and his analytical approach to debate. This is the competent shit we live for.
If we could stagger start times, then you'd get a better flow but they don't so you can't.
You can't ask people to go to work and then complain that they're doing exactly that.
What did they expect? For all of those to suddenly have a car they can use to get to work?
That's his genius keeks. He has his get out of jail free card because he said not to use public transport, so it's the fault of the plebs.
Okay...
I'm not sure what is melting my head more - the complexity of the guidance or the government wanting us all dead. Either way, I've taken my car off the road, and I expect to be paid to never work again rather than risk it on a bus.
Probably for the good of your posture, really.

Can't wait to celebrate Independence day down the local.
Lol at the document recommending covering of faces. You could have gone with common sense at every stage of this issue and you'd have had a much better hit rate than our scientific advisors.
What's this party political broadcast by Starmer about? Man's bopping in with his designer suit matching his aryan eyes and immense hairline to run riot in our homes.
Are you stalking the man ffs?
Turns out this is another random BBC decision to allow it. That's some strange fucking shit, are the lizards plotting a coup within days or something?
There needs to be a public inquiry into how Keir Starmer's hair is still looking like that in lockdown.
Meanwhile, my crosshairs are now homing in on these NIMBY wankers: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-52615443
Try living in a fucking backwater town or estate in the arse end of a city somewhere and trying to complain about an 'influx of visitors'. Living in a pretty area doesn't give you more rights.
Boris will get a second bout soon enough and go back into hiding the pathetic cunt
Boris drags himself out of bed at three in the afternoon, sludging his way through strewn Monster Munch packets and empty cans of Dr Pepper, unruffling his four day old suit and sliding into it like a viscous liquid and leaving his hair unkempt before plonking himself in front of the camera, wiping the crust from his eyes and reading off an autocue. The editing occurring everytime he thumps his fists on the desk in fear of a word he both doesn't understand and can't pronounce.
He's the leader we all deserve.
The mental gymnastics on the news trying to decipher the rules is beyond satire.
The fucking geezer is putting out "you can even go pick up the grandchild" before being pressed on it and clarifying "if they're old enough to walk at a 'socially distanced distance and pace'"
And if Wales decide to fine some fine Englishman for breaking the STAY AT HOME guudance by driving into Wales for a walk, I'd love to see the legal loopholes concerning that.
Its been nice knowing ya lads.
I bet the mooching fringe don't shut their borders tight enough to stop our money getting through.
I saw today that it used to be a regular thing that the leader of the opposition gets to address after the leader. At least it was like that with Thatcher and Callaghan but a little before my time.
Boris's speech after winning the GE hasn't aged too well but then we knew that was going to be the case.
Yeah I retract that as it seems to be standard protocol.
No new cases in Tayside since Saturday.
PO bar sesh?No new cases in Tayside since Saturday.
Watch Heineken be Ł5 a pint when we get back into the Holy Grail.
Luckily the States are carrying most of the weight.
I can't remember who it was, but someone in here claimed that CoronaVirus isn't seasonal. Well, I thought at the time 'why has the Southern Hemisphere dealt with this better then?', but I let it go because we have been fucking useless.
I've now seen the below showing the 1918 pandemic getting started in the Summer, before, well... let's just hope it really isn't seasonal.
With Spanish Flu I think it was probably mostly to do with troop movement, etc. But it does make me wonder what will happen come October.

I cant recall anyone down here saying it is seasonal.
Presumably we'll find out during what passes for winter down there.
What is the evidence we are making the 'same mistakes' as 1918-19? Did they take any preventative measures whatsoever? We have shut society down and have 100 years' worth of exponential medical improvements.
Make no mistake, I'm using the chart to show the waves and ask about seasonality. Nothing further. We quite plainly haven't made the same mistakes.
Being able to shut down state and regional borders and having a bi-partisan National Cabinet making all the big decisions has made Scomo look like a genius. When in reality he is one lucky cunt coming off the back of the bush fires where people wanted to beat him senseless.
Lying to each other about numbers and blaming others?
The problem with Spanish Flu was the war. All the governments involved kept schtum for fear of knocking morale, productivity and giving the enemy knowledge of it. That's how it got so out of hand and is hopefully a freak event / perfect storm that won't be repeated. Probably a good job Trump didn't carpet bomb Iran in January.
It's still lol that the Spanish get the blame for it all because they were the only ones being in any way transparent about it. When in reality it came from Shitnock, Alabama or similar.
Not only was troop movement a factor but the virus targeted younger people.
Furlough scheme extended until October.
Much celebration in my team's whatsapp group. Fuck them all to hell.
What’s the change from July to October? Half and half with the employer?
Bailed out the banks no problem.
No change, still 80%.
I look forward to my taxes going up to pay for all this when I've got fuck all out of it.
Initially BBC reported as a change at the end of July but that has disappeared?
2/ From August to October the scheme will continue, for all sectors and regions of the UK, but with greater flexibility to support the transition back to work.
Employers currently using the scheme will be able to bring furloughed employees back part-time.
3/ We will ask employers to start sharing, with the government, the costs of paying people’s salaries.
Cheeky bastards
It reads like they will crank down the support for people who aren't prevented from working, and there is also an annex with the entire Treasury team lolling over a Five Guys at Smiffy's posts projected on the wall.
So it’s not safe for Jimmy’s mates to go back to desks, selling tractor turbines over the phone, UNTIL OCTOBER, but children and teachers are safe as houses to go and spend all day together from 1st June?
