Even if they just sent him out with an apology, that would've been better instead of the "Well, actually ..." bollocks he spouted in the garden.

Are peanut allergies highly contagious?
I don't think you've thought this through.
Problem being a large proportion of the vulnerable won’t be arsed about shielding and will want to just take their chances.
My gran was fobbing off the first lockdown and still milling about despite all of us asking her to be more sensible.
The younger generation don’t care, I suspect there’s a large section of the vulnerable that don’t care and there’s a mix of wet wipes/not bothered in the middle.
The PC thing to do is to try and save everyone. But that’s not happening. Should just let natural selection take its course. Ask everyone to be sensible, ask everyone to do distancing and masks and move on. Unfortunately, opening the clubs is an obvious problem that would be avoided.
I get the feeling Nicola sturgeon takes every death from this as a personal failure. As would any scientist advisor. And that is far more of a problem for me.
I mean, this is a problem we all failed to contain. Politically and personally, this is a catastrophe.

This is the kind of shit police are going to have to deal with regularly. Arsed being an officer trying to break that up.
This is such a bollocks turn of phrase. Most people have been compliant which is why we managed to slow down the virus earlier in the year.
Natural selection means hospitals are unable to deal with things they should deal with in normal times. That PC paragraph is so fucking wrongheaded that it makes my head hurt.
That would at least mean not having to choose between mass death and economic catastrophe.
There's likely to be a rebound, too. Although I reckon Rishi and co are probably a bit reluctant to try and force that again. There will be a natural rush, though. People clambering to buy shit, bugger off on holidays, open the clubs, etc.
Holidays are going to triple in price after this shit.

Mandatory testing? The world has lost it.
You'll be swimming the channel and walking across when they open the clubs.
New years eve and Australia day fireworks have been cancelled in Brisbane.
Brisbane hasnt had a 2nd wave what do they know that we dont know?
Maybe they're the first people in the world to finally realise that fireworks are shit.
Could not agree more but both days are huge money earners for hospitality places.
They should be banned (and I mean completely banned, no firework ever to go off again) purely on the grounds that they scare animals half to death, but they are also the least entertaining thing ever devised by mankind, except perhaps my posts on here.
Hear, hear, I've always wondered how people derive joy from it, much like ten-pin bowling.
The 'Boris could have saved thousands with an earlier lockdown' headlines are back. In other news, Boris could have housed every homeless person in a 5-star hotel for the rest of their lives.
Fireworks are indeed rubbish and adults doing them as a solo activity can be lumped in with those 40 year old weirdos who also go to theme parks on their own.
Fireworks are great if shit goes wrong.
My Dad used to host a big bonfire night and something would always fail.
Katherine wheels flying off the post they were nailed too was a common thing as were rockets changing trajectory as the milk bottle they were placed on would fall over. The biggest fail was one whipping round to the crowd and going inside a woman's cardigan.
Lol now Turdgeon is saying she would have put the whole country in to full lockdown like England but the furlough not being available is stopping her so it's all Boris's fault. #politicalvirus
Apparently Magner Carter is allowing clubs to open. Mr Carter, we owe you
I don't think we'll shut ourselves down like fannies again, but - BUT - the naval base might tell all non-essentials to get lost. It could go either way.
Boris is on top of the situation, this is NOT a lockdown. That is fear mongering.
We're rebranding it to...
National Inside Month
You gotta provide some context, just posting in disjointed fonts that make no sense is not cool.
Is that genuine? National Inside Month?
I'm a twit
"Advent Extra"? There's no way it can be genuine.

It's not genuine.
Phonics aptly demonstrating how fake news works there.
My Monday evening weekly shop at Lidl has informed me panic buying has restarted. I mean first time round you can put it down to idiocy but second time round is just downright hilarious.
It really is mental. The first time round it was borderline understandable. We've all seen the disaster movies with looting, Zombies and Will Smith crying. But fucking hell lads... we've been here before. You're not going to have to use your baby photos as toilet roll. get a grip.
The supermarkets could do a better job at restricting people from buying loads of shit but that's not really in their interests, I suppose #NationaliseTesco
The Lidl here was queuing 30-deep or so the other day, but Albert Heijn (kinda Waitrose-ish) was fine
I've just seen a Tesco advert saying they're installing a traffic light system to manage the flow of people and I really hope that's as literal as it sounds.
Edit: it looks like it's just to let you know when you can enter the shop, so my dream of delays due to a collision on the corner of Pasta and Gluten Free will have to remain a dream for now.

I went to my local Sainsburys today and I didn't see any panic buying although I didn't check on the toilet paper.
Hopefully that continues.
