What with not living under the Johnson yoke I only just found out about the bank holiday switch. Doesn’t affect me really, but what on earth were they going to do about the snooker final? Lucky escape.
Who knows… The snooker was scheduled to start 3 weeks ago. Lol.

Coronavirus lockdown breakers: ‘We got a dirty look and I called it to an end’ Coronavirus lockdown breakers: 'We got a dirty look and I called it to an end' - BBC News
”We haven’t got razors, clippers or anything like that so cutting it myself just wasn’t an option. Mum is in touch with this underground network of hairdressers who have been working from home.”
“I’d never met the hairdresser before. She was in her 20s and had everything set up in her kitchen: all the proper utensils and a mirror from her bedroom propped up against the table. She said she needed the money.”
This sounds like a Brass Eye parody.

Yeah I read the same article earlier and LOLed at the line about underground network of hairdressers. Then I noticed he’s 19 so engaging with an “underground” network of hairdressers probably sounds alluringly edgy to him.
From BBC rolling news.
Today’s figures show testing has fallen to 76,496 tests in the 24 hours up to 09:00 BST on Sunday – a drop of more than a third on the 122,000 tests carried out on 30 April. It comes after the health secretary had previously announced )that the UK had met its target of carrying out 100,000 tests-a-day by the end of April
What a shocker!

Middle England morans.
We went for a drive and walk in some woods in Bucks yesterday, passing a few groups of street parties of people all in close proximity to each other. Morans like to celebrate events even their parents weren’t around for. Morans feeling better now.

My dad had one of these; he provided the champagne, spam fritters and hotdogs. He’s a 73 year old obese diabetic with sleep apnea. At no point during my time on this Earth has he ever attended a VE day celebration. Up to now he’d always seemed relatively intelligent and rational.
Nice one dad, you fucking moron.

Yeah that’s the thing, I’ve never once seen a VE Day celebration and yet the moment we’re told to stay in our homes because of a lethal virus half the fucking country decides this is the year for a street party.

Getting beyond a joke now. Tory scumbags briefing the media in advance of announcements is one thing, but dropping the Stay Home slogan is shocking. The majority of this idiot country only understands 3-word slogans so this is going to kill tens of thousands.

I’ve honestly been surprised by the Locals here at my place tbh, all in all its been quiet with only a few Syrian kids out (same family of 3) and some other minorities…
The local gang seems to be in hiding except the 2 ring leaders ( Kids of 14 
) who again are quiet and only seen them building tents and sunbathing with their small crowd of family and friends, who are always together anyway.
Seems all the other locals ar either staying indoors or have moved 
No garden parties Yet, no Taps aff Yet and thankfully no firework parties for weeks.
The place across the road though has been a bit of a nightmare, helicopter & all most nights + some 5g bonfires. 
Tbh I’m handling it well wrt being alone and used to being out ALL the time and since the toaster story is being talked about in another thread P. S. I had to get 1 too 
And made BLT with toast the other night with Mayo, that alone was worth the risk and £20 (Russel Hobbs ftw)

It is understood the system will be similar to the one used to keep the public informed about the terror threat level and Mr Johnson is expected to say England is currently at stage four but moving towards stage three.
The warning tool will also reflect the virus threat in different parts of the country, which could mean the threat level in one city could differ quite widely from another.
Assuming they mean “level” not “stage” - either way a recipe for confusion - hopeless.
Looking at the traffic/beach in Brighton today everyone seems to have decided it’s all over anyway.
