I don't think they'll have a national lockdown. I think they'll keep it as regional as possible with ever increasing rules

BJ won't want to lockdown London

 

[Tredman]

Fair to say one of my (Tory voting in last election) macunian friends isn't taking this well.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

If you're from Manchester and you voted for them then you deserve everything you get, frankly.

 

[Tredman]

He's a brexiteer, what more can you say? Let his whole outlook be clouded by Brexit and believing Corbyn was a nutball. His brother was a fairly well known thug footballer too.

London is being threatened now:

Ministers have threatened to take direct control of Transport for London unless mayor Sadiq Khan accepts a package of measures including higher council tax, a much larger congestion charge zone and higher tube and bus fares in return for rescue funding. The mayor is seeking a £4.9bn settlement for the next 18 months to bail out TfL whose passenger numbers and revenues have shrunk since Covid-19 restrictions were introduced in March.

Client Challenge

[Jolemai]

Definitely.

Get ready for ‘local circuit breakers’. This is the way stuff always comes out first via pet journalists.

The average area in England now has over 100 cases per 100k.

Bit late for a circuit breaker now though!

They're making the exact same mistakes as they did 7 fucking months ago.

 

[Wolvensam]

Absolutely. We'll probably get a circuit breaker this time next month... 5 weeks later than it should have been.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

189 cases per 100k for Wolverhampton. That is rising pretty damn quickly.

 

[Tredman]

166 in Stafford - Tier 1. Got to love the consitency.

Gavin Williamson is South Staffs PM isn't he?

 

[Tredman]

Gavin Williamson is South Staffs PM isn't he?

Yes and the Stafford MP is Rees-Mogg’s niece....

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

MP ? Yes - his constituency office is on the road between Bilbrook and Codsall.
