8hrs in and at least two local pubs have been closed indefinitely already <laugh>
 
Mate delivers to the Linerkunt crisp factory and they're not telling staff when people go off ill with covid coz of data protection.So these people might have been working next to carriers or infected people and they don't know about it.
Twats.

The amount of people I've seen walking up and down our road heading to the pubs (there are alot of pubs in my Village) is ridiculous. There is no way the pubs can handle the numbers.

We'll be heading back to another lockdown in a couple of weeks when the numbers spike again.

My other half as had to have a compulsory Covid test at her work today (she works at a doctor's surgery so makes sense despite having already worked the previous 3-4mths without it), great I hear you say? Well yes, I suppose it is. That is, until I tell you that she also as to pay for it and it'll be deducted from her wages! This is yet another government way of saying thank you to NHS workers!

Tories gonna Tory.
 
So in the good old USA they are having COVID parties. If you know someone has been diagnosed with COVID-19 he throws a party and you all attend just to prove it is all a hoax. Apparently one 30 year old who attended such a party caught it and is now dead. He admitted to hospital staff what he had done and also admitted he had been a bit silly to do it, probably not expecting it to be fatal even after he caught it. Can't fix stupid!

if it is compulsory for a worker to have a test i thought the employer had to pick up any charge .

That is a really stupid idea but also very, very sad that someone has lost their son/brother/father??? I hope the story stops any other such ridiculous parties before they become a thing. That's a helluva price to pay for a conspiracy theorist.

Without her specific agreement to pay, I doubt this is even legal. Private or public sector?

I thought that but they've been told it's a government initiative.

TBH, I've not looked into it because the mrs wouldn't argue it anyway.

Govt testing is widely available now and free. Some form of private company instigated employee testing scheme should be paid for by the company. There was some bell end at HMRC last week who decided that a work test should be classed as a benefit in kind and therefore a taxable benefit, but that was squashed by the Govt within 24 hrs after an uproar.

She should tell them to get ****ed basically.
