sharkyvilla Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Whenever I hear the word 'lockdown' I sing it in my head like they do on Pointless 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted March 23, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted March 23, 2020 News suggesting it won’t be called “lockdown” but will effectively be one. The impression I get is the government seem determined to somehow do this differently to everyone else in the world. Even now they’re probably locking us down, it feels like they want to be able to turn around at the end and say “and we did it without a lockdown!” 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leemond2008 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 I know I might be banging on about this but if they are going to class us as a key worker then they'll just sit on their hands and keep us in the office and won't be in any rush to get us working from home at all 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lichfield Dean Posted March 23, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted March 23, 2020 I mean 'you will be dispersed' is all well and good but when was the last time anyone saw any police in Sutton Park? I just don't think this goes far enough given the obvious idiocy of the average tesco-queueing muppets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ll be queueing at Aldi at 6am, family of four, one trolley each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Well there you go, Sweden officially pretty much the last European country without any restrictions. Hope it works out for us, we always like to think we know better than everyone else and I hope we do this time. Leaving it to people acting sensibly and doing the right think is a massive gamble IMO.

No way you can get together with all those you work with in the same boat and express your concerns to those in charge? Or even better/simpler are you in a Union?
