1564 deaths today.

Open the pubs though.

Yeah but they probably died from something else really and just had Covid included on the death certificates to stop us taking day trips to National Parks ... can't believe there are still some dumb ****ers out there trying to argue that this isn't an exceptional and catastrophic crisis ... <doh>

Try working in a place filled with people, and they keep swarming them in.

My sympathy mate ... you should be close to the top of vaccine queue as an essential worker IMHO... if it's any consolation, according to the "on-line calculator" I'm due mine a week before those of my collective age group despite having had a quadruple heart bypass ... happy to take my chances tbf ... but seems harsh on others with obvious heart disease risk ...

I'm fit s ****, will get one about October.
 
Tory ****ers at it again.

The government has quietly introduced a loophole to its eviction ban that waters down protections for people who lost their jobs during the pandemic.

I work in a front line role for a Housing Association and the blanket ban has been a joke in the first place. We are all for keeping people in their homes and probably only have a couple of evictions in a normal year so as a social housing provider, we are all socially responsible and provide all the support out there for people to get back on track. What this ban has done is allow a lot of people who were already in arrears to stop paying knowing they are invincible. It won’t help people in the long run when they do become accountable.
In my view, it should be circumstantial, if you are genuinely in the situation due to COVID, you will be ok. That should be up to the individual to provide evidence and show that rather than everybody getting a free pass. I find people just throw it in there but aren’t forthcoming to accept the support....
 
My mate is a buyer for a chemist group local here. He had a call from an NHS contact last night and had a spare jab at 8:30pm.

good that it didn’t go to waste, shame it didn’t go to someone with other medical conditions etc.

Tenants who need protection tend to be those in the private rental sector. Council and HA tenants are generally pretty much guaranteed a fair deal from their landlords, so maybe the eviction ban could be adjusted to reflect that fact. Tenants of many private landlords almost certainly do need that level of protection

Absolutely 100%, clearly there will be private landlords who need stopping. There should be different rules for private and social as even with the social tenants, they still get a fair hearing and to put their case forward. As I say, if we put a case to court, invariably it is because the tenant is not actually choosing to engage with us and not showing signs of wanting to resolve their situation...
