    Tertiary education yes.
    Secondary education needs to stay open but with limitations

    I hope all those duplicitous ****s who will be beelin at Boris later on take a good hard look at themselves. I’ll say again 660 illegal house parties in one week in Manchester when the last lockdown was on says we have some selfish arseholes in this country. As always the majority get ****ed over for the behaviour of the selfish minority.
    Folk could lose their jobs and business due to the shameful way some carry on in this country.

    Those beelin ****s brought this on themselves. I just wish Boris or his medical people show the balls to call out the real reason we are back here again.

    Yep. Seen it myself. Groups of them hammered on shandy staggering around the town. They think they are so clever yet fail to realise that it’s their ****ing generation who will be paying for the increasing costs of dealing with Covid due to their negligence... oh and there will be a lot less jobs for the selfish ****s to come out of uni to.

    was that last party they had to have really worth it?

    Original press conference expected at 4, then 5, now 6:30. A typical example of how we’ve gone about COVID. Useless, unorganised.

    I like Sturgeon me.

    Mate, no one gives a flying f*** that I lose work, can't claim, but still have bills to pay. Regarding schools, my oldest daughter teaches at a primary and she and many others have had the virus. The virus definitely spreads at school. They should be shut.

    I agree that schools and Unis should be closed. And I think self employed should have financial support. Half of my family are self employed.

    I'm just saying that the lockdown isn't 'their' lockdown, it's 'our' lockdown. It's to save lives.

    Primary schools should not be having major issues if done properly

    I genuinely do feel sorry for the position you find yourself in through no fault of your own. My youngest is self employed and also falls through the cracks in the system. It’s not the lockdown at fault it’s the support system which needs to be improved so that no one falls through the cracks. Further made farcical by some big companies abusing the system eg Sports Direct by working furloughed workers and NUFC furloughing staff but still paying thousands of pounds a week to players.

    On schools and children I have never quite got my head round why children don’t have to wear masks etc. Surely masks are for two reasons. The first is to protect yourself from others passing the virus on to you and the second is to protect others from you passing on the virus. Yes, children are apparently less susceptible to the virus but they can still pass it on. Can anyone explain it to me?

    Well in my school the kids have to wear masks in corridors and communal areas but not in lessons as they are in their bubble. They are also allowed you wear it in class of that want to. Problem with this is then behavioural isues.

    However, I would say 30% of the kids in my school appear to think it's a joke.

    I should also point out I'm in a 2m ( yeah right) zone that I can't leave.

    If I sit at some desks I'm about a metre away from them.

    Lockdown for 6 weeks, open it up. Lockdown for 6 weeks from January. Rinse and repeat.

    The simple fact of the matter is, the government will open things up for Christmas and deal with the consequences in January.
