Ivan, I have never heard ANY politician from any party on tv or any form of media state that the rate of increase in Covid is because the public are still not getting onboard with the safety measures they are asking for. If they did people like Piers Morgan or Andrew Neil for that matter would not get to verbally abuse those elected to Parliament. All the selfish Barstewards are concerned about is when they can get to the pubs and get hammered and make complete tits of themselves.

Re: Question
First.. A Huge Thank You Marian for the email that prompted me to get back here. Keeping to the Thread, So many questions, the same over here, amazing how good this virus is to show the character of us all. Both the Good and the Bad of mankind.
Hoping most of our crew and their families are coping with it all. For me, now 96, still alone, exercise, eat, drink, play music, keep up with each trouble and strife, no complaints. Keep Well everybody, Regards, Eric
Condolences Trader

Re: Question
Unless the crime is tax evasion. Violent crime court cases, more and more, result in verdicts of "not criminally responsible",
but tax evasion?. they will throw the book at you.

Re: Question
Hi John, Sorry for your loss mate. You now will be going through emotions, that none of us can help you with. Grief is a very individual*thing. You will hear the words 'I know how you feel'. Not true, no one can. All anyone can do now, is lend their support. Know we are here to listen. Take care. Den.

Re: Question
GP surgeries are appealing for patients to stop calling in asking when they will be getting their Covid vaccine injections. Surgeries have said this is causing phone lines being blocked and causing long delays in contacting other patients for appointments. They say when you are required to attend for your covid vaccination you will be contacted. When I was due my flu jab I got a call the day before to say my appointment was cancelled due to a shortage of vaccine. I was told I would be contacted when supplies were available again. I was contacted inside a week. It is understandable the concern for those who have loved ones waiting for the vaccine. Try and think positive thankfully the UK can be proud of how we are leading the way in Europe and the world rolling out the vaccine. We will get there.
