Looks like we are going to have a 4Tier system.

Boris and Hancock need to go.

Enough of the lies and dodgy graphs, no one trusts them now.

four? That's it, wee Jimmy will have to go to 8 now!

Wee Jimmy doesn't have to do anything, except wait for Mr Johnson and his gang of shaved apes to catch up with more effective plans than the waffling BS you seem to be stuck with.

//He said the 'best way to get this country back on its feet' was to 'continue on the path that we are, driving the virus down'.//

Who has he been listening to this time?

Since the 7-day average of daily new infections first exceeded 20,000 on October 23rd it has remained remarkably level. It has actually increased on 12 of the 18 days since then and now stands at 22,842. It certainly has not spread like wildfire which the blood-curdling graphs which led to the November 5th lockdown portrayed. But I don't think the figures support the contention that we are "driving the virus down." More properly it seems to show that the virus has reached (perhaps temporarily) a plateau with which we shall have to get used to for a while.

What is this, a virus or a wedding cake?

Rather be stuck with the 'waffling BS' as you so charmingly put it douglas than the English hating mealy mouthed poison dwarf you seem to revere!!

Went to my local community library today, kind of expected it would be closed or have to queue, but the notice on door started with "By order of HM Goverment" Will be closed for at least 28 days I expect longer.

My charm seems to have tranferred to the second half of your post.

Happy to help. X

//"By order of HM Goverment" Will be closed for at least 28 days//

Which is very strange because libraries are mentioned neither on the list of places that must close nor on the list of those which can remain open. That said, you may struggle because one of the exceptions to the "confined to barracks" rule is that you can leave home to visit those businesses listed in the "can remain open" section. And libraries are not mentioned in that section.

A lot of whingers here. We elected are leaders less than a year ago, in each country of UK, and even there opponents agree with them. We should live with are choices and follow there rules, its there job to do what they think is best. Vote them all out next time (altho there seems to be no party other than Nigel Farages who thinks we dont need lockdowns) but in the meantime do your bit and stop whinging

[bobbinwales]

Judge you have blinkers on. How many deaths today- well over 500 wasnt it

[Old_Geezer]

May as well have a 44 tier system. Can't be long now before folk push back, rebel/ignore/whatever.

[bobbinwales]

Its funny how out of touch alot of answerbankers are but thankfullyall these fools who think they know better than scientists and goverments across the world are are a minority and probly realise deep down there losing thearguement Most people are reasonable thankfully who live in the real world

[Old_Geezer]

Those elected are entrusted to uphold the tenets of our society, our culture. When they don't all have a right to complain, and none should feel the need to just sit back and put up with it.

[bobbinwales]

all parties agree with the lockdown principles tho.

[Old_Geezer]

Then please join us in the real world. Where we don't just accept outlandish conclusions from folk playing safe and covering themselves, regardless of the consequences they cause.

[bobbinwales]

Four years till the election. If you voted wrong blame yourself. And Covid will be over by then. You can then form your own partys but a bet it'll be the same ones we vote in.

[bobbinwales]

The real world is lockdowns in every country as they grapple with a crisis and 99% of scientists agreeing its nesessry.

[New Judge]

Quite what the number of daily deaths (remembering that around 2,000 people a day die from all causes, every day) has to do with whether or not you can use a library is anybody's guess. But in any case, at the current rate, by the time the next election comes the country will not have the cash to get the ballot forms printed. Then we shall see whether the lockdown strategy was correct or not.
