I wonder what this lockdown will mean for single person households that have made a support bubble with another household. My mental health is going to take a major nosedive if that can't continue.

i suggest just ignoring any parts of this new bullshit "lockdown" that might have a negative impact on your life

if the filth show up or whatever just tell them you needed to test your eyesight

Somewhere inside Downing Street, Robert Peston is kneeling next to the gap beneath a bathroom door. Nose wrinkled against the smell of of whisky and vomit, he pleads over the gargled snoring noises
"Please wake up Boris, we need you give us the news. They can't blame you. Somebody leaked it all over Twitter earlier anyway".

You know despite everything I'm still optimistic. Britain's under 40 population is actually fairly left wing and a hell of a lot of millenials/zoomies are outright communists/anarchists, so I don't see how we don't have a better future to look forward to once the lead-addled boomers start dying off in earnest, which is going to be happening over the next 10/20 years.

Then the kids who inherent their parents wealth become tories, although that number shrinks the more wealth is concentrated in the hands of fewer people.

I MASHED THE KEYS AND LOOK WHAT I MADE

endlessmonotony posted:

Do you have any proof? Any? Any at all?

A lot of Very Important people made the assumption kids aren't infectious because they desperately want to believe that and there's no loving evidence.

Russell Viner, the President of the RCPCH, said in August there is "very little evidence that the virus is transmitted in schools", which was not at all an assumption and is in fact based on extremely large data;

a loving atrocious imbecile posted:

"About 20,000 pupils and teachers in 100 schools were tested to monitor the spread of the disease up to the end of the summer term, he told The Sunday Times."

"This is...some of the largest data you will find on schools anywhere. Britain has done very well in terms of thinking of collecting data in schools."

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/coronavirus-schools-reopen-children-covid-study-boris-johnson-a9661686.html

Hmm, the summer term when the schools were closed, a good time to gather such large data. What a good job Britane done, thinking of collecting the data. Collecting data is good! But wait! Since the children are now attending the schools, ol' Dr Viner has changed his loving tune and wants smaller data, only the tiniest;

a tremendously disingenous fuckwit posted:

“We need to be thinking: ‘Are we testing too many children?’ because of our understandable but probably unscientific and misplaced concerns about children being infected in schools.”

https://www.theguardian.com/society/2020/sep/27/too-many-children-tested-for-covid-leading-study-schools

Probably unscientific concerns, and ideally let's make sure they stay probably unscientific by not finding out.

Basically you are right and the Royal Colleges are a loving disgrace and frankly the entirety of the senior medical establishment can get in the bin sea hyde park covid mass burial pit

Without any caveats or qualifiers they said that Muslims are offended by the Charlie Hebdo cartoon.

Is there any polling on how this used to be 5, 10, 20 years ago? It feels like it's always been said that the young are left and then the older you get the more right you move. I don't know if that's actually based on data or just a random belief/excuse for some old persons FYGM attitude.

This is always the counterargument, but it relies on younger people becoming wealthier and more secure as they age, which isn't going to be the case for those in their 20s and 30s today to nearly the same extent as has been historically.
