Michael W Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 (edited) The "Tory heartlands" (i.e. the South) isn't anywhere near the level of cases that the North of England is. Another utter, utter failure of Johnson there - implemented a regional system and systematically abandons it when it isn't a total failure in a large part of England. He could have just done a similar thing to Sturgeon - people will moan about it, but instead instead it's the blanket approach again. What he has done is seen what Macron's done and has copied it - once again, a dithering follower and not a leader. Also, what is the exit plan to this? It's four weeks but then in March it was only three weeks... What level of cases will he acceptable to roll off?

Extending the JRS, from what I heard anyway, was unconditional. How would NS leaving areas in Level 1, and therefore able to trade, be starving them of pay? I'm sure workers in those areas would rather work and earn 100% of their wages though. I know I would.

ICTChris Posted October 31, 2020 Author Share Posted October 31, 2020 Sturgeon has said that they are looking for details on the furlough extension, asking if it’s flexible or if it’s a hard stop at the end of November.If it’s a hard stop, and I’m sure that’s what she’ll be told, then I can see North and South Lanarkshire and Glasgow being moves fo Tier 4 very soon. Maybe the whole of the Central Belt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd_is_God Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 "Allowing business in Level 1 areas to trade instead of forcing them to close would deprive workers of furlough pay" has to be up there with one of the wildest fucking takes in this thread.

I genuinely fear this is it. Boris, the man who saved Christmas. That's the goal; please everyone like him! He has fucked it big style. He should've acted sooner in the problems areas and instead he's thrown a blanket measure in place again as overkill to try and hide his failure. An utter, utter c**t.
