The ADs get ready to rumble then have a nice cuppa tea

Watch us wreck the mike, watch us wreck the mike, watch us wreck the mike.
Psych.

Now gather nicely in groups of no more than six...
Unless you're outdoors in Wales...

Oh well, come on in whatever the laws where you are. Plenty of space in this bubble of sanity

@cassgate

Sadiq Khan (Mayor of London) is blaming the rise in cases in London on increased socialising in August ( eat out to help out anyone). A few weeks ago the same Sadiq Khan was moaning about London being a ghost town and needing people to get back to work and support the businesses in the capital. And they wonder why people are fed up.

Totally agree

Calpol woman 😃

He's a twit.
I am struggling today. I feel like a shit mother. DD1 and DS been little horrors all day and I can't help feeling I fucked up completely. DD2 having friendship problems that I can't do much about. And none of them can be quiet for more than five seconds before they yell or irritate each other. Aaaargh!

These make me very happy - you need to do your own “mummy can’t hear you” hand signals though.

DS would just kick me in the shins probably. Sorry, rubbish day.

[quote Ibake]@cassgate Sadiq Khan can get to fuck. I hope he gets his arse handed to him at the Mayoral election. Wish we didn't have to wait so bloody long to tell this government what we think of them. [/quote]
We have Welsh elections next year. Problem is who to go for. Labour, Lib Dems and Plaid have been no better than the Tories on this nonsense (possibly worse). If you want to vote for someone who's opposed to continual lockdown, you're left with the Brexit Party, as far as I can tell. One of whose representatives is Neil Hamilton. Yes, that Neil Hamilton.

(I've said Brexit Party, but I may have got the wrong UKIP tribute act there, can't be bothered to check, sorry!)

So fed up. Just cancelled our uk break given the constant what-ifs as we won't lose much money if we do it now but will if we leave it any later. Feel really bad for the holiday company but can't stand the governments drip feeding of leaking restrictions without actually committing to anything.

Drinking to compensate.

If anyone isn’t sure whether their swearing is up to scratch or not - take a gander at this - I’ve just lifted it from the DM comments section.

What the actual fuck?

@110APiccadilly I feel very strongly that you must always exercise your right to vote. However, at the moment I think that might involve me drawing a massive penis on my ballot paper. A spoiled paper has got to send more of a message than apathetically not turning out?

Either that or I'm about to form my own political party, something along the lines of gobby middle aged women sorting this shit out.

@LivinLaVidaLoki

Though I will also leave this here

That's funny on so many levels!

I hope the marshalls continue to make their own rules up and report every transgression to the police. I hope the government do decide on a full on lockdown. I hope ...

I can't stand this fannying around. If they go full on surely then the majority of people will revolt and revolt hard. I have never been in favour of violent protests in my life but I can see how people are driven to it when time after time they are fucked over AND I hope the government, marshalls and police really overstep the mark enough to rouse people into loud, mass protests all over the country - it worked against the poll tax -

I can only hope - and I would still prefer it to be violence free but something has to crack and the sooner the better.

I’ve gone to bed. Wake me up when 2020 has pissed off please (or when the gp rings me in the morning to raise medication yet again)

@InsaneInTheViralMembrane
Crikey! Reporting people for touching the stock! Perhaps if the ingredients or use-by dates weren't printed in tiny writing on the underside of the packaging the germ-infested public wouldnt need to touch? Or is not having 20-20 vision & a sixth sense our fault as well now?

I have many questions about this, who has appointed him as a covid marshall, sainsburys? Local council (are those up and running yet)? Himself? How many times has an increasing irate desk sergeant at the local nick told him that they don't give a fuck?

(I suspect it's a poor poe in all honesty but you never know with the mail)

@RealityExistsInTheHumanMind Amen to riots, just like the poll tax days. Riots should have happened in April.

We the taxpaying public did as we were told by bumbling Boris: did he not say there was "greater compliance than expected"? What happened to that mantra?
We went without seeing our families and friends.
We went without treatment, while the highly expensive Nightingale Hospitals lie empty.
We wear face nappies, of questionable effectiveness (handy visual shrines to da virus).
We ate out to help out, and now the government are blaming us for doing so.
We made MASSIVE SACRIFICES to our livelihoods, to fuel Saint Boris's ego.
We believed him when he said "we can turn this around in twelve weeks".
We go to work, to pay Saint Boris's wages, at our own personal risk.
We got tested, then were told we were wasting them, by being the worried well.

And our political servants continue to lie, manipulate, deceive, terrify, keep us in suspense, fuck with our heads, spout stupid slogans, turn the country into an oppressive regime by stealth, and treat us with UTTER CONTEMPT, all while pretending they care. Where will it end? With a tacit admission "actually, all those measures in 2020 did no good at all, they killed more people than the virus did, but shhhh... I think we've spun things enough so the plebs haven't realised that".

They've had six months to sort out their promised "world class test and trace", remember that? And now they're trying to blame us for infections. THEY ARE OUR SERVANTS, not the other way round. We must not forget that.

Just when I thought dh was getting better he just moaned at me for not washing my packet of crisps for 20 seconds.

Just. Fuck. Off.

Superb post @wanderings

@Justgivemewine

Just when I thought dh was getting better he just moaned at me for not washing my packet of crisps for 20 seconds.

I didn't process that properly & was wondering why you rinsed out empty crisp packets, thought it was taking recycling to new levels.

Either way, you have my sympathy.

I would have stuffed the packet in my mouth at that point.

Either that or I'm about to form my own political party, something along the lines of gobby middle aged women sorting this shit out.
Sign me up.

Wtf does that git think he is stopping people touching things? That's not what a marshals job is anywhere! If people can't read the ingredients or instructions then they won't buy much. I would have told him to fuck off and I am not confrontational in the slightest but that would be the final straw for me.
Hope he can get his head back out of his arse when this is all over!

I am rustling my unclean Covid crisps (Massive bag of beef hula hoops) far more than necessary and not offering him any (he loves ‘em) that’ll teach him 😂😂

@BillywilliamV

I'd have been very very very tempted to stuff it in his mouth or somewhere else
