@MiketheSnow went crabbing with the family in West Mersea on Sunday. Fuckers down the pier had no idea what social distancing was.
They'll probably blame the government for not explaining the rules clearly enough. That and not sending each household one and two metre measuring sticks and their own personal instructor on the guidelines.

Local lockdowns/restrictions are the new normal. Just love the way people are now moaning the authorities are acting too quickly..

Hah yeah I found that hilarious yesterday. I've witnessed the same people blaming the government for not locking down early enough are now the same people complaining about governnment restrictions and not even wanting to err on the side of caution.
"But island group X has no new cases!"

Considering the pier was closed to boat owners only, there are a fuck load of boat owners more interested in crabbing than boats.

And the same bloke who complained that the government wasn't doing enough to protect BAME people is now complaining the government is targeting BAME communities with the new containment measured in Nth England.

Keir Starmer for one. Accused Johnson of not doing enough on BAME deaths a month ago. Today he and his party complained that the measures were put in place without enough notice in advance of Eid.
Am impressed with Jon Ashworth, Labour Health spokesman, particularly at the start of the crisis, but Starmer has taken over his role and, I'm sorry to say, is coming across as a complete muppet on this issue. Deserves the "Captain Hindsight" moniker

This would be the same Keir Starmer that vowed not to make the Coronavirus a political issue on his elevation to leaser of the Opposition?
Colour me surprised.

Put this here rather than in the meme thread as it seems more UK related....

@Victor-Meldrew said in Coronavirus - UK:
@pakman Read that a day or so ago. It's more about vaccine development IIRC.
Here's a mainstream UK media piece on the UK's vaccine efforts...
"I Teach At Oxford, But I Donβt Want It To Win The Coronavirus Vaccine Race
The story will be clear: China, once again, has unleashed a threat to civilisation. But the best brains of the UK have saved the world"https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/coronavirus-vaccine_uk_5ea067f2c5b6b2e5b83ba372
Telegraph also picked up Bloomberg Opinion article. And Times commented there on.
