Michael Martin: "This is a very special night with toy show coming"

So the country’s going down the drain and all this goon or whoever wrote his speech are interested in is fantastic Mr Fox and the fcuking toy show.

We’re doomed.

It was a cringe factor of 1000 and wouldn’t instill any confidence in our so called leaders.

This is serious stuff and kicking the can down the road is not the answer.

There’s no such thing as a free lunch and lots and lots of people are going to get some wake up call when the bill arrives at the table....

These very children that Mehole addressed will be paying for this mess for all their working days

Sad times indeed.

No mention of adult education in the media at all, or from the government either. 5 days a week 7 hour days, 10 students at a time (so in contact with 20 people, not counting other staff), teachers not able to wear masks.

In a building with 60 people sharing 3 bathrooms (30 at a time) with no windows or extractor fans. No ventilation in classrooms, just windows open a crack. I see absolutely no reason why we can't teach from home, adults have relatively few difficulties learning online, but no, back we go, face to face.

We truly are ****ed .
Our leader is quoting .... The pope / Dahl and mentioning the toy show ?????
There isn't a hope in hell this shower will organise the rollout of the vaccines correctly .

It was astonishing stuff, I'm also convinced make up team had some tear glands installed. Just shocking that with all the advisors these clowns have, not one coukd muster up a coherent speech

They can put all the added guidelines and dates for this the other and tell us X amount can congregate from this date until that date, but the reality of it is December is going to be a free for all. They can just forget about it now until January because people are just going to let rip from the 1st and after the year we’ve had I don’t blame them

I think the fact that the next lockdown has already been earmarked for Jan 6th means a lot will just say "balls to this" and let the hair down next month. Because, it doesn't seem to matter what people do we never get out of restrictions and end up in ever more severe lockdowns.

Pubs owners and staff must be absolutely devastated. We were only country in Europe (maybe the world?) to deny them a chance to reopen since March. And for what?

I'm no fan of the Vinters Association in general but jesus... Their members are truly the sacrificial lamb of 2020 here

I agree but the harsh reality is 6 weeks trading before next lockdown not going to rescue alot of pubs and restaurants and sadly the writing on the wall, some will just take the P*ss over the com weeks, it's going to be chaos

Pubs can't just offer zoom sessions.. open pubs for a while and close adult education! for crying out loud, give them a turn, let me teach at home

Can't you let us just blow of some steam? It's been grim 6 weeks all round.

Tbh the one thing I won't complain about is the reopening the gyms. Personally that's a lifeline terms of getting a sense of routine back!

The Toy Show will be a endless festival of 'virus, virus, virus' propaganda this year.

SuperRabbit

I suspect these people who don't like the Toy show may be Russian bots.

If I have two apples and you take my two apples and add them to your one apple, how many apples do we have?

Or maybe we have better things to be doing on a Friday night than watching an overpaid lanky streak of ****e making an arse of himself amidst a barrage of billy barry dance numbers about wearing masks and washing your hands? If it goes even 30 mins without a mention of covid I’ll eat my hat

What's the vaccine going to do for you...buy you a couple of months before you need another one, vaccine doesn't end this.

RobitTV

I would be willing to put a substantial amount of money on a 'wear your mask, wash your hands' song being performed tonight on the toy show.

They aren't going to let this slip through the cracks.
