WhatEvil posted:Aren't "Swing voters" basically a myth anyway? 'Swing' voters dont really exist in big enough numbers to do anything meaningful since the great Lib Dem failure and the dissolution of Ukip. I think the biggest issue facing labour is that people might just not vote at all.

With a bit of luck she'll heat her home by burning it down, preferably while still inside. Like no one, and I mean no one, opens presents in a way where you can re-use the loving wrapping you poncey oval office.

WhatEvil posted:Aren't "Swing voters" basically a myth anyway? More or less, aye. Swing voters do exist and can in close elections matter, but enthusiasm from your base of 'vague supporters but need a reason to bother on voting day' is much more important most of the time. Of course the Labour right use the Corbs elections as proof positive that it's the other way around, because they are all either A) Massively disingenuous or B) Massively thick, and won't/can't appreciate that whilst important, it's not the only factor involved by any stretch.

No, there are no covid restrictions, nor any need to isolate or whatever when coming into the UK. No free tests. You can get a vaccine/booster on the NHS, that's about it. https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/deaths We only lost 210000 people, so get back to work and stop talking britane down, slacker. It's broken, Nigel said so.

Thanks I've had three jabs maybe I should look into getting another one. I feel fine mostly just a bit of a sore throat and a bit fatigued. My missus seems to have the other thing that's going round and she's feeling worse. She's done a test and it has come back negative. I'm a bit worried about the tests because they've been locked in a drew for over a year, on the packet it said they should be good till 2023 so I'm hoping they'll be fine.

I've found the test packs I've had for quite a lot of months, albeit they're still in date, have only a tiny amount of the liquid in them and after mixing the swab in with the liquid, I squeeze whatever I can out of the squeezy thing and then more or less have to 'paint' the spot where the drop goes with the cotton bud end of the swab for there to be enough for it to start climbing up the test slot. Btw as you're in Wales IIRC, you can still get free packs off the website, just basically answer the questions that you need them for whatever reason. I got a fresh box about 6 weeks ago, and my sister's had umpteen new boxes just doing that.

Some of the saline ampoules on my older tests were a bit dried out but I think you can substitute other saline for those if needs be. Also in very not dystopian fashion they've had cardboard displays of covid tests for about £2-something each at sainsburys for a while.

I might have a look into that, the missus took a test and it came back negative so I've been relegated to the back room and have just gone round the house using anti bacterial (I know it's not bacteria but if I recall COVID is pretty fragile outside the body so it should work.) spray on things I think I've touched. I'm going to take another test later to make sure it's not a false positive and then report it if need be.

There are no rules for covid like there are no rules for any other infectious disease, with people left to judge their own response based on their own conditions. Such as "I don't work somewhere that will pay more than statuary sick pay, so I'm gonna work no matter how poo poo I'm feeling because I need to stay warm".

Nothingtoseehere posted:There are no rules for covid like there are no rules for any other infectious disease, with people left to judge their own response based on their own conditions. Yes, I have no sick pay so I don't work I don't get paid plus over Christmas I can earn a lot of money so I don't want to miss out.

For reference I'm not mad at her, I'm mad at the string of prick managers all the way up to the government allowing this kind of precaritisation of labour that means there is absolutely no room for error and people are terrified of taking time off.

Bobby Deluxe posted:Literally the person manning the post office counter a few days ago, saying she felt like death and just wanted to go home, but she had another 4 hours and then another shift the next day. So glad I can work from home when I'm unwell. Had a horrendous cold for 2 weeks but didn't have to take sick leave (because there's already way too much work - trying to cram what should be a full time job into < 50%hours) as could work from home and take a nanna nap mid afternoon & make up hours later. Nevertheless, wasn't fully recovered on Monday (the day we all normally go in) but went in basically because I didn't think my boss would believe me that I was that sick - I was only 3 days into it when she sent me an email saying 'hope you're on the mend now' because hey, just a cold :rollyeyes: ) anyway, apparently I looked so unwell they sent me home after 1.5 hours. Unrelated: Trying to wriggle out of birthday party for 7 year old on Boxing Day. There's been so much trauma this week already over Family Meals (thankfully I could avoid as sick) and being piggy in the middle between people. If I don't go I shall have 'ruined Christmas yey unto the nth generation' but if I do go, I shall be surrounded by so much trauma and 'he said she said' arguing, it'll do my head in. And I'll have to rely on lifts as buses not running 26th and my leg is playing up so walking 2 miles each way is out of the question. Thinking of running away to London and hiding out in a cheapo Travelodge for 3 days (did it a few years ago when the thought of xmas trauma was too much to bear - esp as there are family birthdays on Xmas & Boxing day too) but now transpires motorway control rooms are going to be on strike too so coaches will be a nightmare!
