A lot of conspiracy theories here.

Maybe, just maybe, there really is a problem which needs the action being taken?

The European countries closing the borders seems to confirm it to me - they will be acting on actual data, not Twitter rumours and what the mood on P&B seems to be.

Exactly what I was trying to say but much more concise. 

KSA have banned all international travel, because its present in DK and Oz as well as here. That's going to come at a serious cost for them. I just don't believe they'd take that decision based on an announcement by Boris Johnston. Of course they've looked at the data.

So, that most of Europe banned UK travellers? Looks like the French have even banned freight as well. 

Wait have France left the EU? The thick gammons were told it was impossible to close borders in the EU and in fact as the UK has proved even when you scream "Sovereign Nation" at everyone/thing you still don't close the borders when you need to.

I've got a radical idea the current Nuclear war heads are coming to the end of their life why don't we nuke the worst effected areas or alternatively threaten anyone who closes their borders to us with total destruction. We may as well use the 200 or so missiles it would be a shame to waste them.

Okay let's keep half back for eating that means we have 100 to use, one is enough to take out London and the South East so sarge you pull up a list of the 99 other targets and then mark them with something I don't know say a red bloon.

The ones that are shut are tbf.

Funnily enough he floundered badly when asked why they are still telling parents to send pupils to school this week instead of closing early. Didn’t give much of an answer other than to emphasise that parents must send their kids in.

Can anyone remember the film "Threads" which came out in the 1980s?

It depicts what life would be like if the UK was attacked with nuclear weapons but I feel it could also provide a useful insight into what life could be like over the next few months. Take away the radiation sickness and its otherwise pretty accurate.

Yes, but I am unsure in the effectiveness of all hiding under a table with a few cans of soup.....or was that The Young Ones?Is that the atom bomb, then is it aey? Owww, Nah. Not in that colour, you  know what I mean?” | Jase_tv's Blog

No I think that was Threads. You could also prop a mattress against the wall and hide behind that.

Seems as good a plan as any at the moment.

Just been in a taxi where the driver stated that he’d rather they gave the vaccine “to those who need it first, I’d rather ill people and healthcare workers got it before me.”

Does he think they’re just picking people by postcode? Or sorting them alphabetically by surname?

To be fair in some hospitals it’s been first come first serve with admin staff who had the time to sit on hold on the phone getting it first, so he’s not actually far off.

I just thought that sky news this morning had the feel and look of an apocalyptic tv drama.
