Temporary broom closet in lieu of staff creating a staffroom

Just in case she got lucky and is in the one school that still goes to the pub.

I wish the unions would stand up for education workers health and safety. A nationwide section 44 walkout until it is proved that education staff are not at increased risk would be a start

They are going to school Dr Harries!

She is talking absolute shit!!

It isn't difficult to disentangle what kids are all doing Jen, it really isn't.

I just think it's time now

I agree @GleamingBaubles

Bloody he'll, Jenny Harris must be a secret Us4Them! What a load of bollocks. Just snuck in to get that off my chest...

@Piggywaspushed

Jenny please come to a school you silly silly person!

And, if we all have to take personal responsibility, what about me sticking my head into my classroom on Jan 4th and swiftly backing out when I see 30 unmasked students breathing intently towards me? Bet Hancock wouldn't like me taking his advice ten - fuckwits.

And breathe

DS hates hate Hancock but I swear if I ever do harm to anyone it will be Jenny Harries.

Obviously I don't mean it. I would just shout at her.

Sorry, I know I have interrupted but I agree with everything you lot say and it is all so shit!

The other one (Doyle) referred to the 'education experts'. Just who does she think is being consulted?

I loved the way Harries talked about transmission without blinking, and the way they now bang on about asymptomatic transmission.

They have some brass neck.

She is odious and just dam right rude.

Well you know it's track and trace they will sound official ( paraphased)

Just want to add that I am that angry that I have broken into the Christmas pork pies - bastards

I'd like to see this evidence that teachers etc are not at higher risk

@eitak22

Once again us in primary will get ignored. Cant have our free childcare closed.

Normally I'd say you were right to be annoyed about primaries being ignored. However I don't think you should wish for this utterly ridiculous testing suggestion, probably best to try and continue being ignored so you don't get sent useless tests.

If you have inadvertently bought 20 million tests that don't work should you:
A. Send them back and ask for a refund
B. Dispose of them responibly
C. Give them to secondary schools

Teacher death stare?

I’ll bet she’s avoided going into schools, partly to avoid the virus and partly for plausible deniability about the risks in schools.

I was watching the conference and had a flashback of school assemblies, with hundreds of kids sitting in front of them, cross-legged, on the floor.

Or D. See how many you can shove up the arse of Gove, Cummings, Johnson, Williamson, Harries etc?

Seriously, what can we do about this? The unions are saying the right things but the gov won't listen. it's ridiculous to be in a tier four area but be expected to be back as normal in Jan with no new measures except this shambolic testing idea

Genuinely think it is strike time. And I have actually changed union membership to avoid striking twice now.

The fact that MH said he hoped it was the last press conference before Christmas said it all.... there'll be more announcements, more guidance, more U turns.

Omg have you seen today's numbers?!

Popped on to say merry Christmas to everyone as I'm taking a break from MN over Christmas. Thanks for all the support and laughs since the start of the republic. I've not posted much but I have read everything and this thread has been a lifeline. You're all amazing

Jesus today's numbers! Seriously considering how much I need my income. They can't keep schools open in full when we're heading for a situation worse than the first wave?!
