I haven't really followed the minutiae of what's happening elsewhere, does any other country have something analogous to the tier system or is it a peculiarly British approach based in the historically-approved class system?

It's the same here in Quebec except we mostly use colours (red, yellow, green).

Correct. And “substantial meals”. And the six counties.

I once worked on a stage set during work placement for a production of Juno and the Paycock, which was quite fittingly being staged at the Bradford Playhouse (where the OG Labour Party was formed to keep it on topic).

everything is now tier four = everything is now on topic in all threads

Nearly 40k new cases and 744 deaths. The situation in South Wales looks even worse than Kent.

Trying not to think about where we'd be if no vaccines had yet emerged, I suppose there's no point in inventing even more horror.

i’m just imagining if you said something like this in an interview, or in fact in many professional environments including the bbc. uneasy looks and a big red cross by your name.

Fizzles, Wednesday, 23 December 2020 22:11 (three years ago) link

Yeah Andrew *those* Sikhs were always always considered jolly good fellows within the Raj caste system, not like those other *%$£**s

calzino, Wednesday, 23 December 2020 22:12 (three years ago) link

Our estimates suggest that control measures of a similar stringency to the national lockdown implemented in England in November 2020 are unlikely to reduce the effective reproduction number Rt to less than 1, unless primary schools, secondary schools, and universities are also closed. We project that large resurgences of the virus are likely to occur following easing of control measures. It may be necessary to greatly accelerate vaccine roll-out to have an appreciable impact in suppressing the resulting disease burden.

I couldn't give less of a fuck about the moronic ramblings and lousy politics of your idiot father just as much as I didn't give a fuck about my own before he died, but let's go make a thread about it eh?

Who even gives a fuck about old bastards not voting Labour at the moment anyway? I don't even care if nobody votes for them.

going back to back to that inane thread, it isn't any of kind insight that lots of teh UK electorate (not just old people either) like simplistic narratives and shit politicians and err towards the status quo - even if it damages them - yeah we know that from 2019. Isn't the point that Starmer is pandering to them and not gaining any ground and looking like a lock in for a GE loser more interesting than talking about your stupid fucking dad like there is some lesson to be learned there? Sorry I'm drunk now and my pathetic brane is imploding!

calzino, Thursday, 24 December 2020 10:13 (three years ago) link
