He really needs a break as he is obsessed.

Relating to ignoring him, if you are a browser on the phone, you literally get a whole page of "Displaypost by this user"

Stop quoting him as well

We shouldn’t be banning people for calling others a cunt. Just my two cents...

The attraction of this place was not having overzealous mods pulling the trigger just because they can or don’t like a poster.

Well done on utterly failing, hand in your mod keys you clearly don’t have the stomach for it.

Priti Patel has claimed the government has been “consistently... ahead of the curve” in its response to the coronavirus pandemic, despite one of the highest death tolls in the world and Saturday’s last-minute decision to effectively cancel Christmas for large swathes of the country.
Pressed on the apparent last-minute nature of the tier 4 announcement, Patel said: “Well there was nothing last minute in terms of the work undertaken by government in terms of planning and preparing for tier 4.
“These are big decisions that are taken collectively by the government based on scientific advice.”
Patel’s assertion that the government has been “ahead of the curve” in its response to the coronavirus pandemic is questionable given the UK’s huge death toll and multiple botched policies and 18 significant U-turns.

I feel compelled to report you

Hundreds of immigrants in France working on the coronavirus frontline have had their service to the country recognised with fast-track citizenship.

The interior ministry invited residents helping with efforts against Covid-19 to apply for accelerated naturalisation.

More than 700 have already been granted citizenship or are in the final stages of receiving it.

They include healthcare professionals, cleaners and shop workers.

Frontline workers around the world have been exposed to Covid-19 at a high rate with many dying from the disease including doctors and nurses.

Hancock says another new strain of Covid-19 has been detected in the UK which has originated from South Africa.
All travellers from South Africa in the past two weeks must isolate immediately due to the new variant which has been identified.

Sandstorm wrote: ↑Mon Dec 21, 2020 3:36 pm Here's how devious this virus is and how bloody confusing it is for everyone:

UK family of 4 with 2 kids: aged 14 and 11.

11 Dec - 14 year old loses sense of smell and starts coughing. No-one else has any symptoms.
Has Covid test on 15 Dec
Positive on 16th.
14 year old confined to his room to keep the others safe.
Still no symptoms for the other 3.

So according to the rules: whole family should isolate for 10 days if anyone has Covid....

So does their 10 day starts on 11 Dec and therefore 21 Dec is their "Ok, you can go back to Tesco" day.

So far, so good.

BUT yesterday morning their 11 year old starts showing symptoms so Dad, Mum and 11 year old go get tested and 11 year old is positive today!
Parents both still clear.
Weird....because kids were supposed to be less susceptible right?

So now their isolation clock resets and they have to stay home until 31 Dec. And if wife gets it, another 10 day lockdown starts!
Fun times.

Nonsense, Liz Truss will be along shortly to proclaim that it is only thanks to Brexit that the UK can import this strain tarrif free, and the UK will prosper mightily with or without it.
