Today is the start of Eid , what will it mean to those communities ? It's going to be very hard for everyone

[emmie]

no, my clan who are getting together tomorrow, have managed to stay covid free,

[Neveracrossword]

I think there were two threads on this last night...

[Bobbisox1]

Sorry about that N.a.c.w,had an early night so didn't see them

[Neveracrossword]

Thanks, Bobbisox. I mentioned it just so you could see any earlier comments ... and also in case you didn't get many responses this morning.

I suppose it would be racist to suggest that the restriction should only apply to Muslims?

[emmie]

No, but it would apply to people who cohabit in large numbers, grand parents, parents children and so forth

[Bobbisox1]

I understand n.a.c.w, , thanks

[Bobbisox1]

Davebro, hardly racist ,it's fact that communities in those areas will want to celebrate Eid, can you imagine if this kind of edict was given to us on December 31st? I feel sorry for those that can't celebrate their culture

[Bazile]

Effected ?

Or

Affected ?

[Bobbisox1]

Affected will do Baz, :0)
( bit early for the spelling police , haha )

[Bazile]

Well I thought that Baldric might not be up yet :-)

Where, exactly, do the boundaries take effect? My muM has a Bradford postcode but doesn’t live in Bradford. More woolly ‘rules’! I’m rapidly loosing and semblance of faith in this Govt.

[Bobbisox1]

Me too Zac , Andy Burnham has just been on Sky News trying to make sense of it , seems the rules are a bit fuzzy around the edges

[Zacs-Master]

I’ll take it that in means the city of Bradford and still be picking her up to come to us in North Yorkshire then. Eejits

[dannyk13]

Yes, I am affected,

[douglas9401]

I'll be fine, no spikes here since they took the railings for the war effort.

As I said on one of last night's threads, the number of new cases in Burnley is 4 - that's F O U R. Hardly the end of the world - not even the beginning of the end of the world. Yet my town is one of those on the list. Fiction Factory pointed out to me that the government (in their wisdom - my words, not his) have realised that if the Muslims in Blackburn (whose C19 numbers have spiked) cannot visit their relatives there, they will probably travel to outlying areas to celebrate Eid? So the people of Burnley are prevented visiting their loved ones because of what someone thinks 'might' happen.

[Bobbisox1]

Danny ,effected or 'affected ? Lol

[Bobbisox1]

It's a bit ham fisted Ken, that's for sure ,either lockdown or don't lockdown not bits and parts
