Not to mention just mucking in anywhere they can, I had to recheck the governments shielding cohorts in the first lockdown running them through our clinical system and get clinicians to add more patients as thousands missed off. Ball aches if I had any.
Can understand weird problems cropping up.
Big vaccination centre set up here in Pensilva. Entrance and parking is good but people were turning up an hour before their appointment causing big problems with congestion. Big push on social media and radio seems to have cured it
Make sure you wear your beater too, apparently that's slowing things down a bit (BBC were extremely positive with their brekky show this morning, even helpful)!

Gives easier access to upper arm where apparently you get less arm ache.

A lot of their carers are BAME and I wonder if they have been influenced by the anti-vaxxers who have targeted minority groups.

It would be good to see the likes of Lewis Hamilton, Lenny Henry, Stormzy and all those celebrity Black Lives Matter champions stepping up and encouraging the use of vaccine. Not holding my breath, though.

@Victor-Meldrew you mean this veritable who's who of old white folk doesn't cut it?
I didn't realise Stormzy and Lenny got in on the action too.

Oh yeah. Lenny Henry thinks holding a watermelon is "casual racism".
There's a real opportunity to get involved and say "Black Lives Matter". Hopefully they will and do what people like Trevor Phillips and Frank Bruno have done.
And kudos to the Muslim Council of Britain for taking the lead and dispelling the myths about the vaccine at Friday prayers.

It would be good to get his views on all those old sketches of his back when he was moderately popular.
Katanga! My friends. Katanga!

And a bloody good actor as well. Saw a video of him playing McBeth and he was outstanding. (The wicked side of me is thinking he's a racist as he culturally-appropriated Shakespeare...)
EDIT: He did a skit on the experiences of a Black brit in the US. One of the funniest things I've ever seen.
-
@Victor-Meldrew Not seen much of his serious acting but back in the day he really traded on being black. A load of Uncle Tom unfunny shit and dressing up in tribal costumes. He also did minor film where he went white face which was distinctly crass and unfunny.

I hate these articles. Because nobody looks like them they they won't take it? So, the 3 people up on the TV each night should be 50 people to cover every single race that lives in the UK?
Get fucked. Don't take it then and get really sick and die. And inevitably be unable to travel anywhere, go to school, attend public events. Up to you guys.

Why on earth would they do that when they get far more attention by shouting racism!!

Heard this from Mrs M's daughter and thought of you and @R-L

Zoom lessons for her kids start. All good.

Email from school: "Please make sure there is no-one else in the room when the Zoom lesson is going on - including parents. This is a child safeguarding and privacy issue."
-
Snippets from Zoom lessons start appearing on TikTok and other social media
-
Email from school: "Please make sure you or another adult, are in the room when Zoom lessons are in progress to prevent children recording lessons and posting them on social media. This is a child safeguarding and privacy issue.".....

@Victor-Meldrew See what I wrote about Gavin Williamson on the politics thread.
Saying adults not allowed in the room for safeguarding is the sort of retardedness that he would come up with.
