Again with the qualifications thing?

It's because a) you won't answer it or b) you have and now want to pass it off as "a joke".

This place is full of layman's opinions but that's not what you've been supposedly offering.

Are people who work in manufacturing now key workers who can send their kids to nursery/school?

Boris didn't explain that. But if they need to be at work because they can't work at home, they 'should go to work'. Details tomorrow.

The term 'keyworker' wasn't used at all.

I am wondering also whether people who it is deemed should be at work will now lose furlough payments if they refuse to work, or try to work and find there is no social distacing (like at the garage I went to last week) and decided it isn't safe.

I still hope for clarity tomorrow.....but on the face of it this is quite concerning.

June 1st, looking like my 5 year old daughter will be required to attend school, well already I can tell you many of the parents on the chat group my wife visits are not going to send their kids in. They are scared, like myself. How the hell can you socially distance 30, 4-5 year olds in class. If they reduce the class size to 6 pupils a day I might think about it. Would have thought reception, year 1 would be the last to go back.

I can answer it, but there’s no need to.

Your call for qualifications makes you seem snobbish. Maybe you have a thing against Southwick? Half of my family are from Portslade if that makes you feel any better.

I personally know a few people have had enough of this board.

Oh, and that ISN'T evidence. It's barely tittle tattle. Have you?

Because, it's not going to turn into a Farage / Conspiracy love in any time soon, any more than it's going to actually turn into the uber Liberal/Left some would like to think of it as (though those people can also not resist posting on here over and over again). It's a place for debate but it would be nice if the standard was slightly higher than a 12 year old watching his first ever youtube video :thumbsup:

Not a contradiction, just an observation old boy.

Judging by my post to like ratio (up until recently when I started replying to insults from bullies like you) I’d say a lot of people wouldn’t want me to ‘**** off’.

Again with the qualifications thing? I see many opinions on here and they are never met with the same questioning. It seems you only ask for qualifications when someone doesn’t agree with you.

No, I’m not a doctor or a scientist, just like 90%+ of people on here aren’t. If you actually watched the videos I posted you will see that I agree with scientists and doctors who don’t agree with the lockdown. That really shouldn’t be too hard to understand. Ah, but in your world they are all obviously fake because they aren’t on the main stream media.

Few people on here who look down on others, think they are thick, stupid, less educated and so on. Not experienced this with GB but with some others I have, it's horrible.

No, I'm just interested as to why you are dodging the answer to a question you claim to have "won" with "a joke".

Just for the record:

Boris Johnson's address to the nation in full:




"In step two – at the earliest by June 1 – after half term – we believe we may be in a position to begin the phased reopening of shops and to get primary pupils back into schools, in stages, beginning with reception, Year 1 and Year 6.

Oh dear.

Looks like I'm going to have to have the battle with the school which I really didn't want to have. She's not going until September at the earliest.

Back on topic Boris's message did seem to me to be "get back to work and make sure you drive there".

I'm sure Dominic intended it to be a little more nuanced, but it wasn't.

Did you read my post, I mentioned that I had not experienced this from you. I've hardly posted on here in the last couple of weeks.

No, because you were editing it as I was replying. I take it back because you thought better and posted something much more thought out. However, I will reinforce, no one is locked into NSC. Just our front rooms (unless you're expendable and drive a car).

I am a scientist and 'doctor' (PhD). I know of no scientists or doctors who don't agree with 'the lockdown'. The smartest person I know and his entire modeling department decamped weeks before the rest of us in self-imposed lockdown. You can always trawl the web for contrary opinions on anything. I can assure you the stuff you rate is not mainstream because it's shit.

As for people leaving NSC, yes, some troubled characters have vanished over the last 20 years. They found they couldn't lie, bully or bluster their way forward without reprimand or ridicule, and flounced. But there are far more people online than ever before. Indeed some people who have struggled with NSC and have been banned, have been let back with a new name and have been good company. I can't think of a single decent contributor to NSC, with one possible exception, who has flounced or been banned and not returned. Even old droopy can't keep away.

Yeah, didn’t claim to have won with a joke. Thought I already answered that.

Yes, you mentioned you were a scientist before.

I, like many others have seen doctors and scientists who are against it though, you disagree with them, fair enough. I don’t.

As for the people I know who have left NSC, they are definitely not troubled characters. Yes, I would expect the amount of people on here to rise with the increasing size of the fanbase.
