It seems England and Scotland are very much in step with regards to their Coronavirus restrictions Andrew.

I'd be willing to bet it wont be a national lockdown like last year. Building sites and manufacturing plants such as Nissan will stay open (the latter according to mates who work there, have people on the lines going down like flies' it's impossible to maintain social distancing.......)

Apparently from what l hear the Covid threat level is being moved up to level 5 which is the highest level as we had level 4 for the first lockdown.

Told ya so. ^^^

So Boris is due to address the nation at 8PM tonight to announce further restrictions.

Those Civil Servants eh, whit are they like? Stitching him up every time.

Remainer civil servants I bet, extracting their revenge on the competent and honest Boris Johnson. ;)

So I work in a school and Boris is telling us to stay open but then he is telling London schools to close however we now nearly all in tier 4. Go figure that out!


I vote we close everything. Total lock down!

I suspect you may join the working-from-home brigade soon. Another BoJo u-turn is on the books.

Well thats my mind up. Its a go for the purchase of a 6 month Morrisons delivery pass!
Bet Boris has bought his Ocado one already, before announcing the lockdown, which is insider trading really...
