It was a tough old gig, but got there in the end

[Dunners]

I remember that. As tedious as it was it actually brought some light relief from the endless spats with OFF.

He still gets his leg pulled over that.

Was out today for a walk and I met a "Cowboy on a Horse". You read that rite, a "Cowboy on a Horse". Perhaps, I'm seeing things.

But also, basic maths.

But you say they make up any old number without being challenged, does basic maths confuse you then

[Ronnie Hotdogs]

Right oh.

I don’t think you’ve understood the equation they’re touting and how much of a nonsense it is.

[Top of the JES]

Explain exactly why it is nonesense but before you do go back and read Smendricks reply to your original post, he understands it and has explained it pretty well but it's obviously a bit too complicated for you.... It is a bit more basic maths as you say it is but you dont get and because you don't get it, it must be something "they" made up.

[Ronnie Hotdogs]

Eh? Which response from SF are you talking about? Please quote.

Anyway, back to the maths. How can a number of around 1 added to a number of around several thousand equal a number between 1 and 5. Their equation is bullshit. People were laughing at it.

A school near me is planning to open for two days a week, 9 to a class.

Also heard that Newham schools won't open on June 1st.

All the essex based schools I am aware of are going back on a 1 or 2 day basis only with vastly reduced numbers per classroom as you've indicated. It's the only way they can open.

People need to understand that many schools have NEVER closed. Even during the school holidays. Particularly in the young age group. My daughter teaches at a local school, they have never closed. The reason, children of key workers and other with difficulties need to have their children looked after because alternative care is not available.

Staff work o a rota system, my daughter has been into school to work. The only difference 1st June will make is that numbers will be greater, maybe.

They have all but closed. My kids school has around 250 pupils. They've averaged between 6 and 8 kids per day for April and May. They have all but shut.

So they’re open!

A powerful committee of MPs (led by Tory Greg Clark) has lambasted the UK's 'inadequate' testing regime - and said key coronavirus questions are unanswered. Here are five key points from their letter to the Etonian Spaffer:

How ANYONE can still defend this incompetent bunch of liars is truly beyond me.

The schools stuff is heating up nicely. How come the rest of Europe has gone back to school but ours don't want to?

MORE TORY LIES!

'No one had any idea': Contact tracers lack knowledge about Covid-19 job:
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/ ... vid-19-job

[Matt Hancock, the health secretary, said on Monday that 21,000 contact tracers had been recruited across England, surpassing the initial target of 18,000. “They have rigorous training with detailed procedure designed by our experts at Public Health England,” he said. “They have stepped up to serve their country in their hour of need.”

What was this 'detailed procedure'?

A 2 page script and a list of possible questions and answers.

New contact tracers have been told to rely on a two-page script and a list of frequently asked questions, both seen by the Guardian. When one taking part in a training session, run by contact centre company Sitel, asked for guidance on how to speak with somebody whose loved one had died of coronavirus, they were reportedly told to look at YouTube videos on the topic. Quote: “After the full day of training, people were still asking the most basic things. Someone also asked what they should do if they spoke to someone whose relative had died of the virus and he said we should look on YouTube where there are lots of videos about empathy and sympathy when talking to someone”.

Meanwhile, the Track & Trace App. will not be ready for weeks!
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/ ... until-june

Matt Hancock, the health secretary, said last week that the app would be “rolling out in mid May” across England.

MORE LIES, FROM AN INCOMPETENT, DESPICABLE, LYING TORY GOVERNMENT.

Yet still we have Tory sycophants still supporting them; believing that 'they've done a good job'.

I truly, truly despair. Just how brainwashed are some people?

You're like a lefty Sid Bishop.

[Long slender neck]

Apart from potentially taking the virus home, why are kids having to distance? Surely better that those who are vulnerable or live with people that are just don't attend school so the rest can attend in relative normality?
