Partial lockdown up north.

[crystal ball]

You just need an open mind when you view any of it's content - take the other week, headlines on the main evening news that a 12 year old had been arrested for saying something not nice about about a footballer on twitter then rolling out all these pundits calling for the max punishment and to be banned for life (FFS he is 12) could you ever imagine the beeb doing that if a child of ethnicity had said something about a white footballer?

Then just last night they were quoting trump out of all context to make him seem even more stupid than he actually is, then followed by one of the beebs all time favourites mister Obama going on a political electioneering rant at someones funeral, but they reported that with glowing admiration.

Just watch or read their stuff with an open and balanced mind and its obvious they are on a brain washing mission to condition britain how to think, great pity so many fall for it.

I have an open mind but you appear to be somewhat biased in your interpretation of news, which news outlet would you consider unbiased?

Just looked on the BBC website, can you point out some brainwashing items, because I can't see any

Why are these "high - risk professions" (especially cleaners)?
Unless they don't take any social - distancing / mitigation / sanitising precautions, why are they any more risk than running the gauntlet of Morrisons?

The more you are exposed to others, the more risk you have of catching it.

Many people are either furloughed or working from home - drive around London and you will see empty streets at lunch time.

But some people are not furloughed, and some cannot work from home. These people are at highest risk. Educated, traditional middle class, desk workers, are less likely to catch it than cleaners, drivers, warehouse stackers, pickers, shop workers, factory workers etc.

just a bunch of bumbling clowns

I thought you were talking about UK government, then, for a while.

I deleted my post because for some reason it did not come up as a post of yours, and I didn’t know if you would be bright enough to realise it was one of yours , given the copious amounts of drivel you produce

It was obviously mine, it had the link referring to my post.
The reason why it wasn't a quote, is because you used copy instead of quote.
Now that I've explained how you can quote my post, and you do seem to have mastered the technique at this later stage, you could repeat your deleted post and we can all work out what it was you were trying to say.

Well said. That sums it up quite well. Why can’t idiots understand it though? I saw on the news tonight some Muslim saying something like "How would you like it if it happened on Christmas Eve"? Well, I’d be a bit disappointed naturally but AS IT'S TO PROTECT ME AND MY LOVED ONES I’d just accept it FFS.

How dare you! I demand my right to celebrate some beardy bloke on a cloud, to the exclusion of my fellow humans ' wellbeing!

("beardy bloke" being illustrative ; I am aware that Muslims put a lot of store in their prophet too )

Yes notchy, right in the middle,have an appointment booked for kitchen place with my parents on Monday afternoon for their new kitchen, so don’t know if that’s going to happen, we have been doing their bungalow up this year,managed a new bathroom and en-suite then the week of the first lockdown we were going to start the new new kitchen , so it’s been on hold since March they are getting a bit frustrated now.

what bad timing!

Do the rules prevent tradesmen working in houses? -I don't know where that would fit in, I know plumbers have done emergency work in houses all through the lockdown.

I suppose you have to decide between what you think the risk is and how you interpret the rules.

But lower than many other UK towns that don't have an increase in cases.

e.g.
Halifax is White 87%, followed by British Pakistani (10%).

Oldham, White British, 77.5%, muslim 11%

Luton has had a white British population less than 50% ... Pakistani 29,353 (14.4%) and Bangladeshi 13,606 (6.7%).

Croydon - White: British 47%, 68.6% BAME in one ward

Ilford South - White, 50%, Muslim 19.6%

There must be more to it that race / ethnicity / muslims, as towns with fewer whites and more BAME / muslims are doing OK.

That stats don't lie.

Oldham itself has 40% asian population,outlying posher areas less but these are not seeing a big rise,as more rural.
Croydon is the 5th worst hit in country with deaths from covid, hardly proving your point.

I’ve probably only done a dozen emergency jobs since March, but I’m semi retired now and only work for existing clients , not taking on anymore customers, not sure of new rules yet, but if we’re allowed to go on Monday will put mums mind at rest.i

Covid 19 has its victims all locked in on the radar.
And lock down or no lock down it will get them eventually.

Don't tell me, advanced AI controlled computers are sending covid to people via the 5G network?

Only to those with 5G enabled phones obviously.
