United Kingdom VII: Taking Pride in Your Success

Probably one of the big reasons they want people back to work in the office. All that office space isn't going to rent itself.

We could convert all the unused offices into residential property and solve the housing crisis, but that's the last thing the landlords would want. The housing crisis allows them to keep rents high and standards low.

The latest press conference is another crap show:

The key points are:

There are going to be a crap tonne of cases
There are going to be a crap tonne of hospital admissions
We're removing all restrictions - but don't act like we're removing all restrictions

But it won't overwhelm then NHS, so no worries (the NHS Trust disagrees, but what do they know).

CitizensTV did a response to the Press Conference with their own (they are members of Indy SAGE, Editor-in-Chief of the Lancet and various other experts that Gove told us to ignore, rather than it being a underground conspiracy channel).

The TLDW; Their basic conclusion is Johnson is an utter clown.

Mings called her out for previously provoking the abuse in failing to condemn fans who booed players taking the knee.

Hospital bosses have also said Johnson is also making a big mistake in abandoning restrictions, saying it's going to lead to intense pressure on the NHS and many bad side effects.

It's okay, we're reducing overseas aid to compensate for increases elsewhere.

It's equals 1.1% GDP or about a billion that will end up in the PMs back pocket.

About 1/30th of the Test and Trace money-pit, then.

Don't think I've been in a restaurant or somewhere that needed it
If I need it for going back to the football next month then I'll probably have to get it but unless that happens I won't be downloading it

I have the NHS app which shows my vaccine status & that's fine...well unless I ever want to go to Europe...as it appears my first jab was from the Indian Astrazeneca batches that aren't recognised by the EU lol
