So, it’s looking highly likely our super-competent Government are bringing in a three tier alert system.

What’s the betting that most of the North will be in Level 3 (the highest) by Christmas?

I can almost hear the howls of despair when those down south can carry on with their festivities, whilst Boris’s new converts will have to make do with some tinny’s from A.S.D.A.

What sweet irony it will be, when all the deluded fools who put this incompetent bunch into power now have to face the consequences of their actions.

Vote Brexit - Get Shafted.

It's strange that most of the areas most affected are the last bastions of Labour held constituencies and for a simple guy like me, it's baffling that London has escaped any spike in cases.
Mind you, knowing the scepticism and distain for some of the measures that have been imposed and the willingness of people to please themselves, it's no wonder that the numbers of positive tests has risen dramatically.
Also, with the numbers tested being increased there has to be an increase in the numbers of those testing positive, apart from those living in London

I live in co Durham 33 cases per 100k (9/10). In lockdown and soon to banned from travelling

In my local area of Durham. The rate for the last 6 weeks has been 0.2 to 2 cases per week.

Hillingdon. Boris constituency. 81 per. 100k. No lockdown

South staffs gavin Williamson 92 per 100k. No lockdown

Newark and north Notts. Robert Jenrick. 192 per 100k. No lockdown


Anyone see a pattern ?


I have learnt my lesson from Cummings. Fuck the rules I am doing what I want

Trust in the current government (on anything) would be a brave/foolish idea.

It looks like that London country will be joining the North in tier 2, probably only for a short period, before we go into tier 3.

I can't wait for next year, at least we can stop them pesky foreigners coming over here, bringing their disease's & pinching our jobs.

Has anyone rung Noel Edmunds and asked him to bring the very last red box with him.
Cue dramatic music and Boris being asked the question.
They could even stencil "oven ready" on each side of the box

DEAL OR NO DEAL

The ad break would be a killer.

That's the problem, nobody cares because of that incident.

Personally, I don't see how going to see my parents isn't safe unless I meet them in a pub that serves food. You either lockdown or you don't, and you need law enforcement to be able to crack down on those that break the rules.

Could be worse. Labour could be in charge!

A Starmer led Labour government wouldn't be worse than Boris & Co.
In fact, Dolly the sheep with her cloned self would do better than the current clown government.

You do remember Boris urging everyone to go beck to their place of work while, at the same time, trying to get the schools back open.
It's more like the Hokey Cokey than anything resembling decent leadership and their spending is both ill thought out and out of control and that's all before Brexit kicks in.

Yes, your right, better than Labour

Are all you looking forward to your Tier 3’s up their in the North?

We’ll be reet

You southern softies enjoy the extra money Rishi is throwing at you this morning now that London are under The Tier 2 restrictions



Bojo could lose his northern backing if he is not very careful - the only thing in his favour is there is no other party of any substance

So the results are in!

Most of the North & Midlands in tier three, the South in two, who'd have thunk it.

Responsible people get rewarded for compliance.

Yep, it's a shame they didn't have a tier system back in March, when all the "compliant" people got it.

13 London Boroughs over 200 cases per 100,000. Now in Tier 2


Teesdale. 77 per 100,000 in tier 3


Guess which one is in the North of England.


London treated as an entity based on lowest rates in the area. The north and midlands based on the highest rates .

Hancock said today there are 5 criteria not just simple numbers like you quote.

I’m looking forward to a substantial meal and a few pints next Thursday as a reward for acting responsibly.

I see Richmond managed to keep in Tier 2! I wonder whose constituency that is?

Oh no I'm missing out on the Managers Special and a pint of Old Ferret Whizz in a pub that smells of wee despite the toilets being a quarter of a mile away! Enjoy!

Not in Goves leafy Surrey suburbs. Enjoy your front room.

Wow, what a smug end-of-a-bell.

Hancocks criteria will also be used to pick the 12th club in SL.



It's amazing how in the worst parts of the South East, they can reduce the average by lumping them in with an area with a lower infection rate

Keeping the SE of England going is good for the north.

I shall enjoy my beer Thursday.

You'll need to.
It wont be too long before we are all back in lockdown - my guess is by the end of Jan.

Don't forget to leave the pub once you've finished your meal.

I will just leave it to go cold on the table and just keep drinking fresh hand pulled real ale.
