Sorry, can't make out what you're saying over all the hissing. Was it something about how you're right and everyone else is wrong? Or are you back to your normal Boris-based growlery?
Sssssssssssssssssspeak up!You decide.
There haven't been follow-up questions for quite a while apart from one earlier this week. They seemed to stop when the likes of Peston, Beff and others kept acting the 2@t and couldn't ask an intelligent question.Journalists not allowed follow up questions on Bozo briefing, I see, not able to challenge contents of answers or any non answers if they happen.
Disappointing.

Certainly WTO rules...Hang on, so they're admitting they're being deliberately difficult on the border, as in imposing controls to **** about... isn't there international laws about that sort of thing?
You’re as sharp as a marble DannoThats what scrotes and plastic gangsters say. Which one are you?
If the cnuts that were supposed to stay at home actually stayed at home instead of attending lockdown parties, protest meetings/rallies etc then there would be less of a need for more lockdown in the first place.I'm pretty concerned that in a few hours Boris is going to announce that the lockdown isn't working, so to fix this, we're going to have more lockdown.
Certainly WTO rules...
Ahh, blackmail.The UK-EU friction continues as the PM plans to tear up the EU WTD & propose a Singapore on Thames Brussels says the border meat & fish issues can be resolved.

True, but why are we punishing those who abide by the rules? Why have a lockdown that shíts all over the lives of reasonable people, when the 'vid will be spread anyway by the feckless ones in society.If the cnuts that were supposed to stay at home actually stayed at home instead of attending lockdown parties, protest meetings/rallies etc then there would be less of a need for more lockdown in the first place.

I thought the whole point of the lockdown was to 'flatten the sombrero', not to try and eradicate the virus. It is absolutely impossible to beat the virus by lockdown alone unless we develop a way to hermetically seal 70 million people in little self-sustaining bubbles.
We are just dragging it out so make absolutely sure that society and our economy are as fúcked as possible.
Nice ad hominem response. You should look for a career as a Labour politician - zero analysis or fact - 100% bollocks.Thanks for this. It makes me realise why some people - and OK, I am referring to @TheSockPuppet - are called cockwombles.
Lockdown was originally to 'protect the NHS'. As cases fell the rules were relaxed. At the moment the NHS is struggling badly so to revert back to the original idea is reasonable in the circumstances.True, but why are we punishing those who abide by the rules?

100% not true and the single biggest misunderstanding about lockdowns. The virus started from a single individual in a foreign country. If we locked Britain down 100% and cured 100% of Brits, the virus would still get back into Britain, the same way it did when it first arrived on our shores. As long as someone somewhere has the virus and we don't have herd immunity, it will spread.If everybody stayed at home and stayed away from anybody else the virus would have been wiped out in three weeks through lack of ability to spread and infect someone else.

We all know that was totally unfeasible, especially as too many people dgaf about anyone but themselves. If the police and courts had hammered the rule breakers from early on I think more people would have been inclined to follow the rules. People all to often take the piss when they know they can get away with it.

The problem is it's not so simple otherwise we wouldn't still be seeing high levels of infections and mortality.100% not true and the single biggest misunderstanding about lockdowns.

Until we have a universally deployed vaccine, the virus will not be eliminated. Lockdowns are just bringing in a whole host of other problems, like economic ruin, educational crisis, mental health, people dying of other illnesses unable to get treatment, obesity, poor nutrition, poverty.
The original lockdown was supposed to 'flatten the sombrero' to prevent the NHS from getting overwhelmed. What we have now is a protracted slow infection which is leading to mutations.
The only thing that will save us is a universal vaccine deployment.
Stop the lockdown. Put all of our energy into deploying the vaccine. Shield those who must not get the virus.
Simple.
As someone whose been retasked to CV19 marshal that is more or less 100% accurate. We have an area in my city that is the source for most of our infections, and you can't tell the difference between Lockdown and a normal day.
In that area we've had two cars tyres slashed, at least three blokes spat/coughed on, one bloke approached and told to leave by a gang of youths who stated words to the effect of You should leave, this is our area now, and our laws. In between lockdowns the guy I was working with entered a shop only to have a male come storming out of the next door barbers and block his exit with a pair of scissors.
They had shops open down there which were posting lookouts for us, as we'd been in so many times to tell them to put the masks on. Literally they were spending more time and effort avoiding the mask rules than it would take to obey them. Other shops got a trestle table, stuck a few stacks of food on them and claimed to be essential food sellers.
