People aren't shooting in the dark over this, the Gov has already issued a clarification of the meaning of the new slogans. That's what people are highlighting, that it's meaningless, vague, and open to interpretation. It's a crap slogan, substitute Alert with Safe and it becomes a lot better...

Regardless of the wording, if they have to explain it, then it's already failed as a messaging exercise...

Don't give them ideas!...

These conspiracy theorists are the online equivalent of Jehovah's Witnesses, full of false ''let me just leave this with you'' bonhomie. I'm guessing snowy's ''FFS'' is the online equivalent of slamming the door in their faces...:)

I think (hope) Tarquin has been and gone. The first words I heard uttered on the morning after moving here 15 years ago, were in the old Blue Mountain Cafe where I went for a can't be bothered to unpack boxes breakfast. Upon opening the door I was met with a parent very loudly proclaiming ''Tarquin, hurry up and finish off your croissant!''. My informative years of Ready Brek, central heating for kids, seemed a long way off...

I doubt we will see > anything more if that in England. In Wales it was illegal to go outside more than once. There was no such legal diktat for England, Scotland and NI... The laws in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland do not specify - or limit - how many times per day someone can leave their house for any of these reasons. Although the Government advice is to exercise once a day, the law does not say how many times a day this is allowed to happen. But in Wales, exercise is permitted "no more than once a day".

robbie verb as in ''doing a robbie'', not to be confused with ''doing a jobbie'', although resultant is often the same. ''I would suggest that unless you are able to productively contribute, either observe and or research the content people are providing, or just ignore it.'' And who are you to decide what is a 'productive contribution'? I'm simply applying my own 'critical thinking'...

Funny how your critical thinking only works in one direction...

Yes malumbu, you do realise that now makes you a critical thinker. The next step in your travels through grifterdom is to start your own YouTube channel so that you can explain this remarkable scientific discovery to all the free thinkers out there. Presentation is everything, make it look like you're in your Mum and Dad's spare box room, this will appeal to your target audience. During filming don't forget to throw in a few colourful bar charts, my neighbour's 6yo can help you out with this if you're stuck. Finally the moneyshot ending, make the plaintive plea that in order for you to continue your intellectual crusade for truthfulness you have a gofundme page. Rinse and repeat...

*critical thinking*...

Hope this makes sense TE44. Seasonal flu puts a lot of pressure on the NHS every winter, despite the flu jab reducing the spread and number of people being infected. C19 is far more contagious than seasonal flu and we have no jab for it. The whole point of the lockdown is to prevent the spread and thus avoid overwhelming the NHS and social care services...

It's quite entertaining to see someone criticise media spin of events, and then source media outlets for their own spin of events...

I'd be interested in getting a whereisboris app...

David Icke recently had his Facebook account closed due to the dangerous conspiracy theories and disinformation he was peddling. Perhaps Admin would like to review some of the recent posts on here under the guise of 'information'?...

People are wasting their time thinking the NHS will be sold, Trump's administration is far more interested in their huge pharmas supplying drugs to the NHS, that's where the money is for them, which will mean increased costs for us. If Trump wins a 2nd term that's what he will push for in any UK/US trade deal. It's all a bit of a moot point at the moment, Trump might not win, and the big economies of the world will be far more interested in dealing with the economic/financial fallout of this pandemic...

And as edcam highlights, hard to separate a politician from politics, especially one who was active in previous Govs during the last 10 years of austerity, overseeing serious underfunding of the NHS, the very people trying to save his life now. I hope he pulls through so he and his mob can be held accountable...

I see Quids is still raging at being being a white working class man living in a white middle class metropolitan area. That'll teach him for hanging around with the cool Twitterati kids instead of his real mates...:)
