. They won’t even let the teachers wear masks in lessons, FFS.
Good grief. I reckon that were a teacher to die from covid under those situations, a manslaughter case could be made for the rule maker. That's just thoroughly ridiculous.

Yep. I’ve tried to persuade her to wear one anyway on the basis that her safety is more important and the academy would have a very hard time justifying telling her to remove it if it went as far as legal action. But the culture there is 100% submission to what the academy says. I’m sure similar tactics are used by dictators to enforce their rule. It’s insane.

This is exactly why running schools as a business is a terrible idea.

Address by Johnson at 8pm.

New lockdown presumably. Necessary.

The chances of it being a full one without tons of silly little concessions are pretty slim though.

Testing and tracing hasn't worked since they started. We're just going to be in and out of half arsed lockdowns until enough of the country is vaccinated now.

Yup. The only way I can see a lockdown actually working now that the public are simply not caring is if they police it properly, and there aren't enough police to do that. Save for declaring full-on martial law, I can't see it having much of an effect.

Johnson will tell us all to be responsible and abide by the rules, but won't risk the political backlash from actually enforcing it.

BBC political correspondent and Boris Johnson's sockpuppet Laura Kuenssberg is suggesting that schools will be closing this time around.

Paraphrased, but he said he was going to tell us the realistic time scale for vaccines and 'normality', then caveated it with 'with a good tail wind'. That's not realistic it's optimistic you prick. :lol:

Do you find your vaccine chip occasionally needs rebooting? Do you occasionally see visions of a blue screen containing technical jargon? Are you suddenly being pursued by black helicopters?

Does the idea of Boris Johnson now fill you with bubbly warmth and confidence?

Felt a bit odd earlier on but feeling much better now I'm back home amongst my stable of fine Microsoft products. Like Office, Word, the blisteringly fast Edge and of course the worlds number one search engine Bing . Your one and only guide on the information superhighway.

Just off to up my standing order to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation on my Zune HD. What a truly underrated piece of tech that is, well overdue a comeback I'd say.

All hail King Bill! Who incidentally smells lovely.
