You are confusing/conflating a lot of different issues here.
I have 3 kids all married, 3 of the 6 can and do work from home, child care has not changed, jobs still need to be done so children still need to be looked after. You are either working or looking after the kids you don't/ shouldn't get paid for one of them.
Yes lot's of jobs can be done from home and maybe should be to negate needless travel and carbon production, no problem with that and should continue where possible.
Then we have company's (and i know a fair few so others will know many more) who are still furloughing staff (or certain staff ) when their part of the job is quiet meaning they keep the employee but pay little for them, (pretty sure my company would love to only have to pay me when they called me out to a breakdown <laugh>)


Then there are others who really don't want things to go back to anything like normal either from fear generated by the news or (and there are many) fear of socialising/going out in the world.

I'm not confusing or conflating anything, I gave an opinion on how I see it. You sound like a dinosaur to me, that's complaining, that someone is getting something better than you. If people want to look after their kids and work at the same time, I'm not seeing a problem with that, if productivity remains the same, or in most cases has improved, well apart from some grouchy grandad that thinks things shouldn't be like that. Why you so bothered what other people are doing anyway, sounds like sour grapes to me - just let people get on with their own thing, and stop bitching over it.

I never said they had to, everyone has different choices to make, many variants.

The only reason bosses want people into work is because they tied themselves up to long leases.

So now they've got masses of space they no longer need, and hard done by mega rich landlords, where the arse has just fallen out their office to let market.

The natural reaction is to blame the little man, get your arse into work... Oh so much for the environment then and the new normal.

We are on the same side here mate but you have picked up on a point i picked out of your post <laugh>

Childcare has nothing (or little) to do with working at home.

Childcare might not to you, but you are a 60 something year old guy who no longer has childcare issues.

You wait until they do an extended school break in October, due to plan A or B. You'll have shhite loads of parents with child care issues then. Except those that work from home!

TBF 200 out of 65mil is **** all. How many people died today in total without the 200 covid deaths?

You’ve just proved my point, over a thousand a week and no one gives a ****.

90%+ of them are completely avoidable and taking up ICU resource to boot, yet our screens, radio, papers and SM are still full of people harping on about non existent restrictions and anti vax bollocks.

So the first 3 did **** all apart from screw the economy so let's try it again <laugh>


Either lazy ****ers that wan't to stay at home doing **** all on furlough pay, work from home types who can work from their kitchen table and nobody notices the difference or the people who are terrified of life and all it's twists and turns.

The vast majority are begging to get back out there and live normally. I do work for two companies that are involved in a 10k people rave this weekend in Manchester, i wonder how many at that rave want to work from home, be furloughed or be locked down.
This is just one of 4 such events i know of in the general area.

Aside from the traffic light system for foreign travel, there’s no restrictions in place ffs, so what the **** are you on about?

Furlough ends this month, and your comments about people working from home is downright ****ing insulting & completely out of touch with reality..

Alternative medicine, new age nonsense, every conspiracy theory under the sun, angels, demons...
You seem like someone that believes any old ****, as old as most other people don't.
Are there any conspiracy theories that you don't believe?

Sorry to hear about your friend, but I'm not sure how the two are connected.
I'm clearly missing something.

We're going to keep going back and forth with this **** for a while, I'm afraid.
The government don't want to commit to either a harsh lockdown or just ****ing it all off.

Not sure how the two are connected.....really

Just show proof of a negative test then, simple for the anti vaxx people to attend. Plus tests are FOC.

Was a government initiative at the start, now only the PL will request this.
