Disgusting

A £200 fine for these morons is nothing to them - they spend more on drugs and alcohol Jules

Good. My daughter lives in Victoria - Im very happy that she is in a safer place than here.

As a Brit I always assume that the rest of the world is like the UK but bigger and warmer.

Even if going from England to Wales or Scotland there is no physical border let alone traveling from Lancashire to Cheshire. You posts make Australia sound more like a pre-EU Europe with lots of little tinpot states all with their own tinpot border guards.
Didn't see any such thing when one my one visit when I drove from Sydney to Cairns, but the distances were a surprise.

Lancashire to Yorkshire on the other hand has always been a problem = Yorkshire men have always been misinformed believing that they live in Gods own land. Tangiers Orange - gone, missing her

The Federal Government is paying for most of the Covid mess, so the State underlings can squabble amongst themselves! Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

As I said misinformed.

The younger generation are breeding grounds for germs/viruses - ask any kindergarten nurse.

The govt. has decided that although teachers are front line workers, their lives are worth less than other front line workers so they don't get to be first inline to get the immunisation jab. Would you in all honesty want your husband/wife to stand in front of 30 possibly virus ridden (other peoples) children all day every day.

Close the darn schools until the teachers can be immunised - or face the fact that you are sending teachers to the slaughter.

I did wonder if the new virus discovered in England is an example of evolution in practice.

If you hide away most of the older people, and then encourage the younger ones to mix freely, then perhaps you are left breeding the virus strains that can infect the younger people with their faster metabolisms.

Of course this new virus strain can use it's new-found speed to spread faster in the rest of the population as well.

PS I also have a daughter who is a teacher, and I worry about her. From what I gather there appears to be constantly changing instructions, but very little guidance (or additional resources) , from the Government.
I just wish that Boris would be a little bit more realistic with his promises, and start making sure he delivers (or enables others to deliver) on his promises, before he moves on with 'other good news' and fresh promises. FL2 XS SD4 Auto 2010 2012-2017 (21k - 91k miles) (MY2011)

Well it seems pretty certain that England is heading for full lockdown again. 58k cases today and Scotland already announced a lockdown.

Let's see what Boris says at 8... LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby
LOT (Lord of Time) - University of Gallifrey

but this time it is a LEGAL lockdown in Scotland.

I do wish Boris as 'Minister of The Union' will stop that woman trying to discredit him.

As Andy131 says, teachers are on the front line too. My daughter teaches in a special-needs school which has to stay open. Not only that, but because of the particular problems that the children have, she cannot even use any PPE because the children would be too upset by the change to their routine. Not their fault, of course. but it does make you wonder.

Maybe we are prioritising the wrong groups.
Maybe we should first vaccinate front line workers, teachers, students, and all those leaving home to work.
People not needing to leave their home/residence are relatively safe and could get vaccinated later. Jules
