That’s a pretty damning article. Looks like Cummings was right all along about Javid
WBF: we are doing something that will mean more people die.
Tory MPs: Hallelujah.

Ozzy is right. When there’s serious shit to talk about BJ combs his hair.
And how is this then possible, I thought this can only happen in banana republics…

It is a banana monarch. No sense of a republic to be seen hereabouts. Tinpot dictatorship is accurate though.
Now that the vaccine has proven in many cases to reduce the severity of covid infection, the cunts going for herd immunity. Yet by leaving the precautions of avoiding this virus to the individual, he is basically saying the balls in your court. The great unwashed will continue to spread it. A message to anti-vaxxers, hug me and I’ll fucking drop you.

This does seem to be a common interpretation, but are they actually going to pass legislation to force businesses to let the unmasked in ? If not, then it would be possible for businesses to keep requiring masks if they felt it was in their best interest (protection of staff, encouragement of some types of customer, maybe avoiding being sued by customers who do come down with the disease etc). I wonder if my dentist is going to ‘go back to how it was before’ for example ? Or my hospital clinic ?

The shipyard is keeping current precautions and testing in place for a while longer yet.
The local industrial Union doesn’t like it one bit, strange but true.
I was thinking similar earlier today, when I read that Easyjet & Ryanair will insist on passengers wearing masks. Now, it’s obviously sensible, and you’d have to be a tory to think otherwise, but what are the legal implications from this. Could a gammon claim for a refund if he/she refuses to wear a mask and gets kicked off the flight?
It will be in the T&C’s of the ticket purchase if they are serious about enforcing it

Not surprised they went for that. It has to be one or another on a plane or there will be fighting.
Since when does a UK union has the wellbeing of the worker in mind?
Now, call me psychic / astute / whatever you will, but, I get the distinct impression that you are not a fan of the UK.
What you read is actually utter frustration and disillusionment.
I used to be quite an Anglophile, but that has lessened a bit since following UK politics in detail from 2016 on.
I saw Rover, Cummins and Jaguar (and VW too) from the inside during a study trip in the 90’s and have worked in automotive ever since, until last year. The UK is the typical gateway to Europe for US and Asian/Japanese companies. From that perspective, it’s hard to understand the situation in Sunderland related to Brexit.
I’m a bit allergic to self harm and stupidity.
By coincidence, I was awake when Grenfell Tower cought fire. I cried that night.
It is Grenfell and Windrush plus the aftermath that really made me feel hurt.
That hurt continues with the hostile environment.
I started to wonder, if it would be safe to visit England with the family again, while my car has a German number plate.
I do not feel well with the current state of affairs.

Hidden beneath the noise surrounding yesterday’s relaxation of Covid regulations. The removal of any right to protest anything this shower of shit wants to inflict on us.

Yep, that’s the ongoing culture war that I think, long term, is the death knell for the Tories. It is a defining moment and places the Tories firmly in the electoral grip of the elderly. They can ride this demographic for a a few years, but eventually those they deride as “woke” will have the say at the ballot box. Their continuous lurch to the right will be their downfall, it remains to be seen who will benefit by winning Tory “safe seats”.
