ForenSix Opposition - Politics in the Soon To Be Former UK in Autumn 2020

Ugh, so sorry

Silver lining…

Hancock added: “I must stress at this point that there is currently nothing to suggest that this variant is more likely to cause serious disease and the latest clinical advice is that it’s highly unlikely that this mutation would fail to respond to a vaccine."

really not a fucking time to be exporting london residents to the rest of the country in a tight time-limited window and telling people to “be careful”.

Don't worry, I'm sure no petty personal issues will discourage Johnson from cancelling Christmas

meanwhile the Today programme has just done a Foucault for dummies segment

the mutant strain, which originated in Kent

👀 no comment

We are pioneers. We also had the first confirmed death outside of China, back in December 2019.

Thankfully this hasn’t stopped the Detling Winter Wonderland from taking place, though.

We also have a 20-mile-long lorry jam, with no facilities / sanitation, stretching from Dover as companies try to export as much stuff as possible to Europe before the 31st.

Out before the lock

GLUK etc

fair play never thought the engineer a national crisis so we can cosplay downton abbey and dad’s army crowe would have such good praxis.

crowd! why the fuck would you autocorrect crowd to crowe ffs!

Dad's Army is already boring and unfunny enough without adding a humourless prick like Russell Crowe to it!

I was going Cameron Crowe bc Brexit

Shingles

the thought of hundreds of those repulsive HGV driving beasts that stink of BO and look like amateur wrestlers, scrambling up embankments to take a shit, that's the true spirit of brexit!

morelike Shites of the Road ... amirite

Getcha Brexit fertiliser here mate nyah nyah you numpty you gotta laugh intcha, that Nigel Farage you could have a pint with him eh not like That Bloody Corbyn etc etc

Here we go....

Wheeler is reporting the link via an unverified alt as she lost her password.

fuck's sake i'm really sorry affected ilxors

Fucking devastated if this is true, ngl.

So,

1) What is Tier 4?
2) what is south east?

my sources say the death penalty being considered for christmas. I am pro-christmas and take no pleasure in reporting this.

Tier 4 is when a plague doctor paints a cross on your door and their is a 24 hour military curfew.

So, jesus is coming down and it's the start of the Rapture. But only on the Isle of Wight...

international travel not advised

sad to hear captain tom moore (currently in barbados wtf) is cancelled

That rule only applies to real people, made up py ops are exempt.

Lol psy ops

is rishi going to refund all the money that people have already spent on big christmas dinners, travel etc. sister-in-common-law is going to have some mission putting away all the food she'd bought fs

also where's my piss5 voucher rishi u wee fuck

Piss5s for Turkeys trade in

I’d have been shiting on about how terrible it was if they hadnt done this with cases getting out of control and lockdowns coming down like dominos all over Europe but that doesn’t mean I’m not gonna complain about it now obv

So many people gonna be distraught after having this false promise dangled in front of them

Hundreds of people dying every day and Christmas cancelled, def worth it for 3 weeks of joyless scotch egg boozing tho obv

at least in part because the cunt prime minister didn't have the guts to be honest about this a month or more back and manage expectations

big sympathy for others but of course i dunno whether i'm in "the east" or not yet

Despairing lol at this thing about the mutant strain forcing them to cancel, rather than the numbers that have been rising steadily for months

“I’d love to let you have Christmas, folks, but the MUTANT STRAIN had other ideas, nobody’s fault”

Yeah that excuse came fucking gift wrapped for them, cunts must have thought Chr***mas had come early

he was taunting Kiermit with "you want to cancel Christmas" when? This week?

Muppets christmas carol

I’m so furious. We’ve got no food in the house cos we’d planned a Christmas bubble. Now, I need to go to my local supermarket, in a shopping centre on the Sat before Christmas, in London’s COVID hotspot, all because these cunts buried their heads in the sand and ignored reality.

Gov press conference on this in eight minutes i think

Did not want to watch this cunt but I have to now..

This is 10 mins late..

harrumph! not happy with my football commentary on R Leeds getting interrupted by this bumbling arsehole.

Tier 4 restrictions in London and other parts of England tomorrow
London, the South East and East of England will enter a new tier four level of restrictions from tomorrow morning, the prime minister says.

These will be broadly equivalent to national restrictions which were introduced in England in November, Boris Johnson says.

Residents in those areas must stay at home, with limited exemptions. Non-essential retails and indoors gyms must close.

People should work from home when they can, and should not enter or leave tier four areas. Communal worship may continue.

The restrictions will last for two weeks and will be reviewed on 30 December.

"there's no evidence" vs "there's evidence that it doesn't"

We escaped being put into tier 3 on Thursday so I guess we’re not going into tier 4 then?

And nothing about restricting the Xmas window for the rest of the country, do I have that right?

no, i think it’s changed for everyone. no staying overnight (hello drink driving), “stay local”, and one other household only?

and it’s just christmas day, sorry, i think?

I saw "Reduced to 1 day" for the rest of the country
