Quelle surprise! The Track & Trace App is being "adjusted" as it's believed to be too sensitive. Well, if you spend peanuts (£37 billion) what do you expect?

Wonder how many £ billions all those consultants are going to need to make it work better?

PS - it won't ever work accurately. The technology can't do it as all devices will have differing Bluetooth signal strengths so cannot be used to accurately calculate proximity. They were never designed to do so. This was called out before the App even went live. So, there have been, and will be many, many false positives meaning that people will be notified to stay home when there is no reason to do so.

Good to see Boris condemning those nasty racists. If only they had just stuck to booing the team for taking a knee before the game,. Should have been obvious to everyone that condoning that, leading a government that calls any anti racist sentiment woke, Marxist and gesture politics and generally blaming foreigners for everything in no way leads to people thinking tgey can get away with calling people n*****s.

Fair play to Gary Neville for calling these fannies out over this.

He literally told fans to cheer players taking the knee

Guess you've had that most of that in draft since the start of the tournament though so

All very contradictory isn’t it? One day he says it’s ok to boo, the next that it’s ok to cheer.

If only he’d have come out and condemned those booing unconditionally in the first instance.

Apologies, I'm not in the habit of using Google to see if our dear leader has half heartedly backtracked on his latest daft comment, although I am aware its always a possibility.

In that spirit, I ask everyone to cheer on and support our prime minister in his sincere efforts to bring the country together, I assume it's taken as read that any and all comments or actions I have been responsible for in the past which may suggest views contrary to this position are clearly no longer relevant and outweighed by this single statement.

The job ad says they were "Keen to encourage applications from a wide range of backgrounds".

That's really worked then. :lol:
