I have to admit looking from the outside in to experiencing some grim humour at just how thoroughly the UK is loving up everything to do with this, although the fact that I won't be able to visit home and my 93 year old grandad any time soon nor have UK friends and family visit me here in Europe is depressing

I don't get this whole "people are sensible and will follow the guidance" thing. Ok, yeah, maybe a lot of people will, but a significant number of people also won't! It's like the repeated talking about 'common sense' where following common sense can equally lead to outcomes as diverse as isolating from as many social interactions as possible, to 60 mile eye test drives. My best guess is fear they won't have the staff to enforce it but it seems really odd to me because it's so contrary to my understanding of human nature.

TfL can't even enforce tapping in properly so they lose like 3 mil on fare dodgers and I'd love to see how this will turn out. Also, welcome to March 2020 I guess.

This is where the Dominic Cummings saga will truly cause damage. The government's credibility has been completely undermined by not punishing him or even admitting he'd done anything wrong, instead they actively stuck to the nonsense excuses he gave and brushed it all off. There's bound to be tons of people who'd previously gone along with the lockdown measures but will now think "why should I bother?" when the government try to bring in any new restrictions. I don't have any immediate prospect of my working from home ending, so I'm essentially sticking to what I was already doing during full lockdown and only coming into contact with people once a week on my shopping trip, which I'm wearing my goon-made mask for. Here were the details to get one: Rondette posted:Ok UK Goons, dunno if anyone is interested, but I am sewing cloth face masks. Not for profit, but for charity. Every penny raised is going to a local food bank. I've raised nearly a grand so far and would like to raise more.

The quarantine period will magically disappear and/or become ‘no longer necessary’ on or abouts 17th July. It doesn’t take a genius to know why this is

I was in London in February and forgot to tap at the station I got on at because the machines are tiny and there's no gate so I just forgot. I got to a massive main station, tapped and then was denied because I'd forgot to tap first. Realising this I went to find a ticket person to pay and ended up getting threatened by some arsehole of a woman who tried to make out like I SHOULD BE getting fined a grand... Bitch I could hop the barrier if I wanted to, I'm being honest paying, stop being a dickhead. So fare dodging, if you do it, respect because they don't have any for you if you're honest.

Sometimes the TfL people can do that to "give a lesson" or straight up being overzealous but I think they're just doing their jobs and in the last year I have witnessed alot of abuse and actual danger the staff (especially the tube crews) towards them. My point was, people straight up dodgee fares and drivers can't/won't do poo poo because getting stabbed or punched/yelled at for 1.5 pounds is not worth it and I don't expect them to check people for masks. The police does suprise fare checks on busy lines during rush hour but I can't see how this can be enforced. This all feels like, "well, we told you to wear masks and you didn't now grandpa is dead because of you" setup to me tbh. Maybe through CCTVs it can be pushed but idk.

I went down to the BML protest in Belfast city centre the other day, and pretty much everyone was wearing a mask of some sort. Compare that to my occasional visits to local shops to buy essentials where I'm pretty much the only person wearing a mask, and everyone else in the shop is wilfully ignorant of how one-way systems work and have a special kind of selective blindness that limits their ability to see floor markings.

Describing their fairly stringent proposals, they were exceptionally clear that, although they’d like to leave it up to people to be sensible and think of others, they know that people are in fact utterly feckless arseholes who can’t be trusted to pour piss out of a boot.

I'm pretty certain that NI has decided lockdown is over on a selective basis. i.e it's okay for their social group to ignore it, but if someone else does it's an attempt at genocide. Sometimes, but not always based upon traditional NI lines. I would also have to disagree about "pretty much everyone wearing a mask of some sort" at City Hall, yes there were more than I've seen anywhere else of late but I'd still call it a minority of those there, and I'll be quite open about the fact that I was unmasked and shall remain so for the duration. It'll be interesting to see if we do get "spikes" due to socialisation, theoretically we should have had the VE Day casualties this week, bank holiday infections next week... The VE increase doesn't seem to have happened, let's see if the beach BBQ one does.

I ended up chatting to the chap who runs my office yesterday and he seemed thoroughly confused by government advice. Apparently his read was that masks were expressly forbidden in the working environment, which doesn't seem right to me. The good news is that we don't plan to reopen for a while

Aww, I missed IRN-BRU CHAT. 500ml bottle of Irn-Bru and a Mars Bar was always my go to hangover cure. Anyone else remember Irn-Bru 32, the energy drink? They brought it back sorta, but they changed the name. No idea if it tastes like it used to though as I haven't tried it.
