Current Events > The new lockdown here has really eroded the political narrative on all sides

(+) Yeah! (+)

I don't even fucking know who thinks what anymore. Like, is Boris Johnson both doing a bad job for imposing lockdown and for not imposing lockdown? is lockdown a good thing or a bad thing? Are we for small businesses or for protecting the NHS, or are we for both but the lockdown is badly managed? Is it actually badly managed or is it just people not taking it seriously? Has it gone on too long and enough is enough or do we just stay in lockdown basically forever until a vaccine is really rolled out

I don't fucking know anymore CE. I'm just going to sit at home and drink beer.

they arrested some kid for violating quarantine to go play hockey at a rink with some friends. At the time I thought it was very fair; next.

...and then a literal shit ton of politicians broke quarantine to go celebrate Christmas in other countries. What a slap in the face octillery.

Which part of the UK are you currently living in, pinky? Glasgow? I'm in the Westcountry, and we quickly raised from Tier 2 to Tier 3 to Tier 4, and now we're in Tier 5. Wtf.

Tell you one point that pisses me off though. When people say "the hospitals aren't full"

Fuck me, you really want to see what happens when that happens?

yes

Bro, he let all the schools open for one day, after the kids had been away from each other for two weeks, so they could get nice and mixed and then closed them all. Literally the worst way of doing things. His incompetence is off the charts.

boris and the conservative govt have been way behind the curve, too late in implementing lockdowns and are to blame for us being the worst in europe

although the vaccine rollout seems to be good...so far...

I saw that on the UK reddit and was blown away. Apparently he was asked in an interview two days ago if parents should feel safe sending their kids back to school.
