spiderbot posted:Just found out that the estate agent selling one of the other flats in our building is doing viewings - are they allowed to do this? Multiple groups of people (including with kids), plus the actual agent, coming through the communal areas into a not very big flat. They are wearing masks, but don't seem to be cleaning or anything between groups. Called the agent out on it and he just told me the government allows it. get one of the other tenants to say they have covid and not do any more viewing? Before it was just a fake emergency. No ifs, no buts.

Supply lines collapsing, new Covid strain spreading exponentially, No Deal Brexit about to gently caress everything more than humanly imaginable in just 10 days with zero time for anyone to prepare – let's check in with Keith and the opposition, surely they will at least be calling for a Brexit extension? https://twitter.com/lewis_goodall/status/1340975978558971904?s=19

The guy who ran against him fought against his employees trying to Unionise and Starmer's preferred replacement is that Potato faced Edinburgh Tory who bottled joining the CUKs.

goddamnedtwisto posted:There's a big qualitative difference, even among the most supine media, between "Granny died because they hosed up and dumped plague victims in her care home" and "Granny died because Matt Hancock signed an order saying nobody over 75 would be admitted to hospital" (which would be only the first of care rationing levels). i think this sentiment is pretty much identical to the US libs saying "how will trump wriggle out of this doozy" for four years. the bodies are stacked to the 10th floor and all the tories have learned is that they have absolutely nothing to fear from us.

Yeah I think this is partly why the wheels are falling off. It's never been more evident to everyone that there is no mechanism to remove them from power if people keep voting for them. And even if they don't they still get 5 years if they can keep the party in line. It apparently isn't evident to like 95% of journos though who basically seem to operate from magic thinking. If thing is bad then it will be undone "somehow" Otoh it's also becoming apparent there is no real mechanism with which parliament weilds power or affects action, they basically just handle bribes and make TV appearances

Seems to me, and I'm just a layman her, but is putting your economy on pause for a couple of months and restricting international travel not less damaging that loving around with tier systems, short notice lockdowns and constant changes to guidelines (for months on end).

If you have a functional support system in place to keep businesses alive and employees in work, yes. I have no idea how pubs and restaurants are managing. The rules changing every few weeks just means they're constantly having to close, open for a week, implement a bunch of changes and then immediately close again.

getting a sufficiently large pasting in the 2021 locals would change minds in CON. Johnson's brand (somewhat recursively) is defined in terms of being able to uniquely appeal to the radical wing's passions and also achieve mainstream salience, with nobody quite able to put a finger on exactly why (any resemblance is strictly coincidental &c). Ultimately the membership also want leaders who can win, albeit they are (like partisans everywhere) easily persuaded that the things they like are also the things that voters like. The only thing able to move this belief are bad actual electoral results... the members supported May until they didn't, too.

Supposedly there will be a protocol in place for reopening ports within a few hours. Given one of the rules will inevitably be a negative test within the last 24 hours for drivers, is that something we've got the capacity or logistical ability to do?

The housing market is the centre of the known gammon universe. Without it reality will fold in on itself and collapse into infinite nothingness. Life is nothing but a delicate balancing act between punishing foreigners and poors and managing interest rates to ensure maximum landlord and homeowner yield which fuels the furnace of our national hate engine

Thing is, the main opposition party have spent the past year decimating and alienating their volunteer base while failing to establish a compelling counternarrative to the Tories. I wouldn't put money on a collapse in the locals unless there's some insane third-party surge.

Check out NZ as an example, they're doing amazingly compared to the rest of the world despite international tourism being their single biggest sector and in 2019 directly employing 10% of the countries workforce.

Jose posted:Just drove to Sainsbury's and at least I was able to fill the car with petrol for whatever comes because I couldn't find a parking space and gently caress trying that during a pandemic Google reckons my local Asda is actually a little quieter than usual. However that's also how it shows up when they actually do crowd control and everyone's lining up outside so I'm not sure. I did my shopping over the weekend so I'm not bothered, but I might go for a bit of a walk to rubberneck and see if there's any looting to be getting in on.
