It seems unlikely that a government could unintentionally be this catastrophically poor at messaging . On the BBC website its says there will a new tier 5 where there is a risk of health services being overwhelmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ender4 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Just now, PaulC said: On the BBC website its says there will a new tier 5 where there is a risk of health services being overwhelmed. That’s the country rating going up to 5. Apparently we have a Covid rating 1-5 which is different and nothing to do with Tiers 1-4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trekka Posted January 4, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted January 4, 2021 (edited) The Level 5 alert level is different from the tiers (BBC): Quote The Covid threat level is to be increased to five, the highest level, sources tell the BBC. The decision is made by the Joint Biosecurity Centre, which includes the UK's chief medical officers. Level five would not automatically signify a lockdown being introduced - the alert level system is used by the UK governments to help their decisions on lockdown rather than as strict rules. The threat level is different from tiers. Edited January 4, 2021 by trekka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once again the buffoon puts his stubbornness before the safety of the nation. Yesterday he said "Schools are safe" about 30 times on the Marr show. This kind of embarrassing and foreseeable climbdown ought to be enough to end a PM tbh. Labour would do worse though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ll probably still be open for key workers and vulnerable children I’d assume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our hall has been out of use since September. I'm sure there would be plenty of schools similar, who'd have the room to help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Today we've had a letter from the boss emailed out to us which we can show the police should we get stopped. It details how we are key workers because we support the healthcare sector, provide emergency utilities cover for key service like police, petrol stations etc. The trouble is, we don't do any of those things.

I saw a poll earlier showing the Tories with a 6 point lead. Stating the obvious I know but this country is well and truly f**ked if people have seen what has happened over the last year and thought yes please I like what I see here and will have a bit more of that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work for a very big FM company with different divisions. We do have a division that does indeed support the NHS in a couple of hospitals in London, but our side of the business does not. So it's being very liberal with the truth, there are people with our companies name printed on their t-shirts that should be considered as a key workers, but the other 99% of the business is absolutely not.

I'd wager if there was an election tomorrow, the tories would win quite convincingly. So, yes, in answer to your question! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
