I'm with you, Foxicus. Many people have not been vaccinated (largely their own fault), and many have only had one jab (especially amongst the younger people who are understandably itching for a proper night out). This is all happening at a very unfortunate time.


A mask in indoor/enclosed public spaces is a small measure - trivial almost. Why on earth wouldn't you wear one?

Yes. There are plenty of people out there with their eyes wide open, who have done their research, and are not buying into the fearmongering and this big pharma conspiracy!


And the hospitals are filling up with 'em.

I?d be interested in an update on this KK when the family?s isolation ends. Will/did the rest of the family get infected? I think I read 1.7m people are currently self isolating in the UK and only a fraction are infected.


The reason I ask is that Covid will be with us forever in some shape or form with possibly thousands of variants to come in the years ahead. Society cannot function with endless pingdemics and self isolating.

It's funny, the media are now believing every word from a man they hounded for lying about his "eye test trip"


He's out for revenge so I'm taking everything he says with a pillar of salt 🤔


I wonder how long it will be before he calls for a new PM chorus "if not now, when?" 😆

There?s lies to save your own skin, like Cummings did (with BJ?s encouragement). Then there?s lying about who said what.


I?d err on the side of poor judgment on the first, and mostly not be in the least surprised in the revaluations on the latter.


Johnson is a dreadful human being, we agree on that mostly. And he?s a serial liar, we?d agree on that mostly. And credibility between the two?


Cummings is more credible, than Johnson is believable.


Most of those things ring ?true? as the type of stuff that streams from BJ.

C - Bearing in mind that a mask is designed to stop us passing our germs onto others (a fact that STILL seems to be lost on a lot of people they interview on the TV) I'll wear a mask out of respect and courtesy to others when I'm in a busy environment, and I won't if it just seems pointless.


I'm nervous about the relaxing of the rules but I agree that this is the best time to do it, with the schools closed for summer, the students not living on top of each other in halls of residence, and the potential (and, so far, reality) for warmer, drier weather.


If they delay the relaxation for another month, then the schools will be about to return. A month after that, the universities will be reopening. A month after that, we'll be into the normal winter flu season, so there won't be much chance of relaxing the rules until next Spring.


Not a fan of the virus passport idea, but if it means that the hospitality sector can stay open when the students return to uni and the cold weather approaches, then it makes perfect sense. People worried about "their rights" will have to refrain from visiting their local Ritzy for a while. I get the point about this leading to enforced vaccination and so on, but this decision seems to be sensible in isolation.

By 'pointless' I take it you mean when you are not around other people? There are masks that also give the wearer a good deal of protection, but like you say, people do seem to think by wearing whatever they are wearing, that they are predominately protecting themselves.

A for me ...

It's only freedom day for the virus not us... the younger people ( I'm 45 )

Just want to go to nightclubs etc and dont seem to care about covid as they think it doesnt affect them..

I believe there will be another lockdown or partial lockdown in late August or beginning of September

Partial lockdown will be hospitality like clubs bars restraunts and pubs and sports stadiums as they are the mostlikely places to catch covid.. 2 of my work colleagues WIVES one is a teacher and one a nurse / midwife has been

Told already to expect another lockdown or partial lockdown at end of August beginning of September.

And it's this attitude that is making so many people nervous about the unlocking. Just imagine how much easier things would be, if everyone had the common sense and manners to try to protect those around them.

    • Do you have any binoculars?  My first ever sighting of swifts was when I was lying in the park, trying out some 10x25s.  Nothing at all  within plain sight, but when I was playing around with the focus -- presumably for clouds or planes -- suddenly there they were.   I've still never heard any in real life though.  The sample I heard on the BBC website sounded fairly high frequency and not very loud, so I suppose I might miss some; but then there have been precious few reports I've seen here of any being heard.  The only one I remember is Jenny1's last year. 
    • None of that makes any sense. Rumour and vibes-based governance...   Meanwhile, thanks in part to the NIMBY tendencies of certain councillors, 23 London council areas saw 0 (zero) new housing units under construction in Q1 2024. Pitiful. About 724,000 (net) people moved to the UK in 2024, a sizeable chunk of them to London. The already high demand for housing is increasing, and the supply isn't changing at all. Rent prices (and therefore taxpayer funds paid to private landlords through Housing Benefit) are going up...and new housing units are objected to because they're "visible" and because a fear that rich foreign students will live there. 
    • Lots of hoverflies (that look like drone honeybees) about today. Also, tiny (< .5cm) bees/wasps 
    • Posting for friend. Both missing since Thursday eve. Last seen in back garden on Soames Street, their garden backs onto gardens in bellenden road, avondale rise and copleston road. Gladys went missing a month or so ago and I know she was chased by a large black and white cat and again he is back in my garden and now both my cats missing. They are both chipped and neutered. No collars.  Thank you.
