Banter. Instead of locking down for 2 weeks, we're now going to have to lockdown for a minimum of 4.
Such an inept government, we all suffer.

This government [emoji85]
1. The school meals in holidays issue is flagged up around Easter 2020. Didn’t we cover it in this thread?
2. Sensible people suggest meals should be provided to low income families. The government doesn’t act. Some Tory MPs are surprised.
3. Rashford gets involved, Tory MPs can’t believe the governments own goal as the Sun and tabloids pick up the story. Government u-turn.
4. Same thing occurs again! Government scores own goal by not ensuring low income kids don’t go hungry over winter, rashford gets involved.
5. Government u-turns but probably spends more of our money on a nuanced scheme just so they can try to save face.
The pattern is alarming. No wonder our test and trace doesn’t work, and out Covid respond was tardy and ineffective. With Trump gone you feel Boris is last era. Shame it will probably take years for them to drag the nation through Brexit and face re-election.

And then the next day, the Times splashes on GCHQ's work to counter vaccine-related disinformation.
So it's obvious that public acceptance of the vaccine is a hugely complicated comms challenge: hostile state disinformation, organic anti-vax nonsense, mixed messages on efficacy and complicated rules re entitlement, will all jostle for messaging space. What's weird about hiring in someone a little more heavyweight than a BEIS press officer?
Of greater concern is that someone wishes to create a fuss about: Source: "I don't know what they do."
Not knowing what they do is not the same as knowing they do nothing.

Anything that a journalist doesn't know or understand must be silly, made-up, or unimportant.
You're telling me there are things journalists don't understand?

The issue is there was the opposition
As i said before, can only assume Momentum are actually Trojan Horse infiltration of Tory members. It's the only possibility that makes sense.

Just seen on the local news that Croydon Council has declared itself skint
I can't believe more isn't being made of this HK business and China in general, they've just banned anyone from being in the HK government if you threaten national security. More countries need to come together and put some pressure on them and look to shift supply chains and imports to other countries.
