Who was it who said that they could never be a teacher because they'd 'shag all the children'? Strong 'ironic' nonce vibes there too, but I'm thinking Liddle rather than Young.

I’m not overstating things when I say that the media and therefore public acceptance of austerity can, in large part, be attributed to thr Hon Robert Peston. His complete lack of understanding of macroeconomics, his career in financial and right-wing newspapers, and his excessive closeness to the finance industry combined with his incuriosity meant that the BBC never asked difficult questions to the Coalition. I can only assume that he was allowed to move from finance journalism to economics because editors don’t know how huge the difference is, and because of who his Dad was.

Was out doing the necessary things and on my drive home got caught in traffic headed to the seafront complete with inflatables that were for whatever reason inflated while in the vehicle but I suppose when you have a landbarge why the gently caress not Many others just out for a walk along the front and then failing at socially distant passing because the pavement is barely wide enough for two to walk abreast anyway. Go past the b&q and it's open for foot traffic again and the car park is loving full Get good at surfing cause we gonna have so many waves we won't know what to do with them

I'm morbidly curious as to what the worst impact of opening B&Q up again is: More Coronavirus cases, or more 1st time DIYers putting a drill bit through their hands. After working in DIY stores for years, I wouldn't trust the majority of customers there with a screwdriver, let alone powertools.

the next door but one neighbors are doing some DIY, there's been drilling and hammering all morning (and all yesterday, maybe the day before too) and it's starting to get very annoying, but I can't close the windows or it gets too hot not sure exactly what they're doing, but I think they might be making their fence higher because I heard them having an argument last week with our mutual neighbour in the middle about him apparently looking in their garden? idk but they were threatening to call the police on each other in the middle of the day still beats working from work

They usually don't stock that many of them, and were cleared out way before the lockdown. Anything in their distribution network will have long gone with online and click & collect orders.

They will just buy substitutes instead. A car windscreen chamois and a bit of string maybe Those cheap disposable overalls that i've never seen a real decorator wear are probably going to sell because they look the part

I'm wearing a thick cloth ski snood around these days. If the main benefit is limiting exposure to others then I don't see the point in getting medical grade protection unless you're high risk.

Anyone who understands the law/legislative procedure better than me willing to comment? This doesn't change the likelihood of the fash choosing to gently caress with you in the first place or give them any additional ability to do so, it just makes it easier for them to actually hit you with the book afterwards when they throw it at you. e/ IANAL, that's just my read. When we've got video evidence that rank and file coppers are happy to just make up charges to stick you with, I don't think we're in a position where the letter of the law is all that important.

more bizarre do-nothing bullshit, it boggles the mind https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/23/public-can-choose-scarves-instead-of-masks-say-uk-scientists like not a single one of these statements makes any real sense quote:England’s deputy chief medical officer, Dr Jenny Harries, said the fact the issue was being debated means “the evidence either isn’t clear or is weak”. What difference does it make whether countries telling people to wear masks are also physically distancing, why do you need to quantify the specific effect of each individual intervention that someone else has taken? If other countries are seeing a reduction in infection rates after telling people to wear masks and socially distance then clearly the hypothetical increase in transmission from people touching their face isn't actually turning out to be a huge effect. quote:The health secretary, Matt Hancock, has said it would be unlikely the government could provide free face masks to the public and the priority would remain giving medical masks to health staff. lol like what the gently caress does that even mean? what stage of the virus cycle? why would masks potentially reduce transmission later but not now? suspect its probably exactly the same horseshit that led them to believe that locking down later is actually better because people might not follow the rules after a while quote:Martin Marshall, chair of the Royal College of General Practitioners, told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme there was no research to support wearing a mask if you were fit and well, and there was even a risk of picking up the infection if people were constantly adjusting it and touching their face. also, the government advice is not to leave your house if you're coughing and spluttering so it actually does not make complete sense to only start wearing a mask at that point Like, OK they don't want the public using up even basic medical masks because they're struggling to find enough PPE for hospitals, but there are other sorts of masks and ad far as I'm aware no country is mandating you wear an N95 to the shops. It just seems like an ideological opposition to masks for some reason, and I can't guess what. Maybe it's because they've made all these statements about how masks will give you the disease because you'll touch your face (cf Austria where millions have died as a result of compulsory mask-related infections) and they don't want to back down?
