Based, I imagine on if the local MP is Tory and threatening to rebel or stuff like that. Apparently Lancashire where I am asked to be split into East and West but the Gov't said no, even though the rate are very different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Its al down to central's government deep suspicion towards local government, and they have never been given the tools or resources to fight this disease. Funding has been massively cut for a decade and they don't have enough tax raising powers themselves to fund the incoming massive cash shortfalls. Still we are all going to level up. Well some of us in nice houses with nice jobs in the nice parts of England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 When that much of the country is in tier 2 and 3, ending lockdown seems like a bit of a joke doesn't it? "We're not in national lockdown, there are some areas of the country that are not even in tier 1" "Do you mean the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.?” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicho Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I’ve seen that it’s getting reviewed every 2 weeks but just seen “from the 16th” so does that mean we are in these tiers until the 30th? Barring the 5 day hugathon over Christmas. First time in a long time I have 3 weeks off in December and I was going to be very Merry for a lot of it.

As the father of an ex-resident of Hiatt Baker Halls, a gathering of 200 people is just probably two blocks of the halls. They live on top of each other, there's probably 20 rooms to a floor 5 floors a block. A "gathering" of 200 people isn't really any different to them actually having to live there. 1 Kitchen to a floor / 1 shared toilet / shower room per floor. The gathering isn't going to make any difference Worst Halls at Bristol Uni 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
