I understood he was hoping to open up in time for the Cheltenham Festival 16th-19th March, rerun of last year's superspreader event.

What is going wrong with that one (face is longer than it should be)

To be fair that's not news. Boris announced a while ago that he'd be talking about the path out of lockdown in the week of Feb 22nd. This just repeats that. Schools being aimed at March 8th suggests that's the earliest anything will change. That's still too early of course.

And that's reason for me not to be despairing how?

Surely this poll would look drastically different if "I do know; it's definitely neither of these fuckers" was allowed as an option?

With the fairly competent vaccine rollout and the EU gently caress ups allowing them to spin it as a Brexit success I'm honestly surprised the Tory lead isn't bigger.

Labour won't win anyone back under Starmer or possibly ever again but with one of the worst death tolls, blatant corruption and a pisspoor recovery plan the left can hope to make a dent in those ideas.

It doesn’t seem an outright unreasonable question to me. Once the vulnerable people are protected from covid isn’t it time to reassess whether the impact of lockdown (mental health, economic, education, etc) outweigh the impact of covid on the less vulnerable people?

Am I missing something?

Can only speak for myself here, but at least for me a large part of the mental strain of lockdown is not the lockdown itself. I know it's for a good reason and I will happily sign up for more if it means saving lives. The stress comes from knowing that all of that collective sacrifice is going to be squandered by this government. They already wasted the first lockdown in the name of making number go up, 100k are dead and they show no sign of breaking the cycle, or even being challenged to do so by current Labour leadership. So no, I'm not going to feel any better if the rules are relaxed and I can exercise properly again, when I know that the process of doing so is going to kill even more in another wave. I'm not going to recover mentally until the pandemic is under control, lockdown or no lockdown.

It’s not a huge amount but it’s very rich and intense, so one doesn’t need a lot at a time, and it really is very good. I’ve always been quality over quantity but YMMV

You can’t add cruelty while making the fudge, it ends up curdling the ingredients too fast.

Therefore each fudge packet comes with a separate, salt-&-shake like sachet, filled with distilled esa assessor malice, so you can add overpowering amounts of cruelty to taste :v:

Hi there. Everything was posted on Monday, Royal Mail first class. I’d say give it another few days- sometimes orders seem to randomly get held up I’m afraid. (Jermoudcorbynejad had one held up for literal weeks, despite only living two miles from my old place; would have literally been quicker to use a courier snail!)

I ship every Monday using RM first class. Some people have received their goods less than 24 hours after posting; normally you’re looking at it arriving on the Tuesday or Wednesday.

KartooshFace, you are not responding efficiently!

I am sad about the lack of EU fudge, but totally understand. I'll just have to order some next time I'm allowed to visit the office in the UK, even if I have to scoff it all before I go home!

Regarding lockdowns, the government seems to have sold the idea (if only to the media, which is the extent of any "national conversation") that lockdowns are a rolling solution until the magic vaccine arrives, rather than a thing you should do once at the beginning while you sort out an actual response. It would be nice if that was challenged sometimes (lol).

And now the incorrect item is being shared around the place easy for any tory to pick holes in.
