Because if/when everyone abuses the system, they will stop accepting lateral flow test results as proof of a negative test, as I understand they have done in some EU countries.


I don't really understand what this country's obsession is with gaming the system (and this isn't a dig at you, Sue, as I know it's a genuine what-if...). Ever since the pandemic started, people have gone on about ways of getting around the restrictions - "I'm exempt from wearing a mask"; "I'm going to put my house on the market so my mum can come to view it"; "my hairdresser is in my bubble" etc. It's this constant aim to find loopholes instead of using some common sense that has made the rules so convoluted (like the scotch egg being a substantial meal thing).


I just think you have to be a pretty sad person to go to a crowded venue knowing that you have Covid (which would be the only reason to fake a test result unless you really can't take one for some reason), or to pretend that you have a mask exemption just so you can go and breathe your germs over everyone.

    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
    • Exactly - a snap election will make things even worse. Jazzer - say you get a 'new' administration tomorrow, you're still left with the same treasury, the same civil servants, the same OBR, the same think-tanks and advisors (many labour advisors are cross-party, Gauke for eg). The options are the same, no matter who's in power. Labour hasn't even changed the Tories' fiscal rules - the parties are virtually economically aligned these days.  But Reeves made a mistake in trying too hard, too early to make some seismic changes in her first budget as a big 'we're here and we're going to fix this mess, Labour to the rescue' kind of thing . They shone such a big light on the black hole that their only option was to try to fix it overnight. It was a comms clusterfuck.  They'd perhaps have done better sticking to Sunak's quiet, cautious approach, but they knew the gullible public was expecting an 24-hour turnaround miracle.  The NIC hikes are a disaster, I think they'll be reversed soon and enough and they'll keep trying till they find something that sticks.   
    • Totally agree with you.  🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
    • It took the Tories 14 years to dig that 20bn blackhole. It's taken Labour 14 months to double it.  You cant get rid of Reeves though because the next person will actually be totally incompetent. There are no MPs in Labour capable of performing better than the current shower.
