SAGE are a bunch of upper-middle class midwit commie fuck-pigs.
What they haven’t yet worked out is that their gold plated public pension promises won’t be worth a wank if they carry on destroying the economy.
The government were paying people to eat out a few weeks ago and are now closing pubs + restaurants again. Clowns.

they are not "fuck pigs" they are scientists whose jobs ( in sage) is to present the science to government and not the economics etc, that is not their function.

Yes, that was clearly a big mistake and now a u-turn. With any luck, after the next lockdown we'll be eating out again at half price. :D

The extent of the restrictions for the new lockdown isn't important. All that really matters is whether or not they decide to call it tier 4. :o

Another lockdown - Boris speaking at 4.00pm. FML.
What a stupid time to make an announcement.
He must have read this thread, he's delayed it until 5:00pm. :)
Now around 6.30pm....They want to watch the first half of Liverpool v West Ham....

These delays suggest there are still big disagreements between ministers on how far to go with it

I'd imagine a lot of businesses will collapse on this second lockdown. Then on the way out again, they will have to fund a lot of this borrowing. I'd imagine a lot of smaller business owners may just throw in the towel.

Wonder if they'll let all sports continue, would be good for another complete lockdown so we can have a pre Xmas break.

Most sport is set up to function now without any attendees so I don't see why not?

Let's see, that would be a bummer of a way to end the year.

Did see something earlier from the Premier League who said they are confident they will be able to continue this time, stressing they've had only 2 positive cases from something like the last 1.6k tests but will release a full statement after they've seen all the details

Exactly. All the people making these decisions won't lose a single day's pay during this crisis, and will have nice index-linked pensions to look forward to - all funded by people who create wealth.
