You'll be pleased to know the daily mail is absolutely livid about the fireworks "Viewers slam BBC and London mayor Sadiq Khan for 'forcing politics' into NYE light display that featured 'woke' NHS tributes, BLM fist salutes and a climate change lecture by David Attenborough - while NO ONE sang Auld Lang Syne" Lmao cry more, daily mail

I got the opportunity to volunteer through my place of work (which is in the medical sector). I have absolutely no medical training whatsoever though. They're not asking for complete randos just yet because there's some sort of legal thing between my company and the organisation doing the vaccination, i dunno. I tried to get my wife signed up but they were all like "nope not yet".

The Perfect Element posted:I am just praying, in an incredibly selfish manner, that playgrounds remain open. This is not because I am a nonce, but actually because I have a 21 month old and it's literally the only activity we really have available. The rules are loose enough for that to be interpreted as exercise, which is a permitted reason to go outside. You'll be fine. e: and if nurseries are explicitly allowed to stay open I would think playgrounds will be OK. So long as you can physically access them - but I doubt local authorities will bother boarding them up like they did in March.

Armani Glasses posted:Up here in Aberdeen I work in Starbucks and our two central stores are as busy, if not busier, than before this 'lockdown' was announced. Suddenly families and other folk are out in droves for their "exercise walks" which just happen to all pass by our stores. Its obscene and just makes me think no-one is paying attention at all and we'll see that number will continue to go up, up, up. I'm ashamed we are even keeping the doors open to be honest, and if I could I'd have my store closed until February and beyond, but alas money needs to be made and we'll skirt the line until explicitly told: "Stop"! The virus may take your lives but it'll never take your freedom

His Divine Shadow posted:Hey does anyone remember this news site, or maybe it was just a twitter, but they reported about news from the UK I believe, but they reported on it in the same way that modern news report on news from the developing world, using terms like "the regime" and the like which put a very sinister look on the whole thing. It was a great thing for showing double standards in journalism. I know who you're thinking of. A twitter feed but I don't recall the name.

I'm loving this idea of charity via private contractors. Perhaps we can pay a company to house the homeless? Give them like maybe £5000 a pop and the company books the cheapest rooms at the Premier Inn? (with one Mayfair penthouse suite for the company director's daughter recently made homeless by being 'kicked out' of the family mansion)
