Rob1885 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I see The Telegraph is running with a front page that Pubs and Restaurants when they reopen from possibly after Easter will be BANNED from selling booze. What's the fucking point !!!Tbf tier 3 didnt allow booze but allowed pubs to be open. So if they're working backwards then can loosely sort of see where they're coming from. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP_MFC Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I see The Telegraph is running with a front page that Pubs and Restaurants when they reopen from possibly after Easter will be BANNED from selling booze. What's the fucking point !!!Don't worry, the sun is running with it being May when they open and no restrictions. Meanwhile the Mail say all adults will be jagged by May but the I paper says if will be the end of June.It's almost like they don't have a clue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the fucking point !!! Seems pretty stupid tbh. Give people the green light to socialise but with dry pubs and people will just start mixing in homes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bus services getting cut next week due to shortage of staff I'm not sure I get this - they're having to cut services because of a lack of staff rather than a lack of passengers? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongTimeLurker Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 (edited) It was only a matter of time before we saw a headline like this: All the COVID doom porn has been bad news for other attention seekers with a doomsday scenario to peddle. Next up, "Carbon emissions boost COVID mutation rates" and "Rising temperatures will unleash more pandemics". The news right now should be dominated by the triumph of rationality and scientific innovation over adversity in both these contexts and how we have the capacity to meet the challenges that lie ahead, but instead all we get is charlatans with messiah complexes conjuring up exagerated nightmarish visions of the future to save us from. The ice caps will melt unless you repent and follow me or you will all die from a virus with an IFR of under 0.2% unless you comply with my nanny state rather than you will be damned to eternal damnation unless you join my church and follow me, but it's the same old formula basically. It's called snake oil y'all, it's been around for a long long time. Edited February 6, 2021 by LongTimeLurker -11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's called snake oil y'all, it's been around for a long long time.Looking at the global situation dispassionately, we have done and are doing irreparable damage. We could still pull back from the edge, but too much power lies in the hands of people who believe their money will buy them out of any issues - and as long as they can realistically fix the tipping point past their own life expectancy, they don't care about anyone's future.Greenie for the Steve Earle quote, btw.[emoji111] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Scotland at least, if you follow the figures we're seeing at the moment (50k a day), all adults should be jagged once by the end of April/early May. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldnt be too far off early summer though! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
