I wonder how all those red wall voters who turned the wall blue feel now? You'd think they'd get thrown a bone after electing the Idiot Johnson.

Relieved that Welsh schools are moving to online learning from next week.

This isn't about families with privately educated students -- they're already able to take their children out of school whenever they want. They aren't fined for it. In many cases independent schools are supporting remote or blended learning.

Liverpool has mass testing of pretty much everyone, not just schoolkids. Is that unfair too?

Well i wonder how businesses feel now that yesterdays press conference proved that the November lockdown was all for nothing and the tokenism, YES tokenism of shutting them down for another month was exposed. Once you see that you cant unsee it

@boysthree. There has definitely been mass testing at my university. 5000 tests done so far.
