They have to simplify the rules for compassionate exceptions and let everyone in the chain know about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael W Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-57962409 Labour want the self isolation exemption for the fully-vaccinated brought forward. I fully agree. But then, I wasn't the one arguing earlier in the week that we need vaccine passports and a negative test to enter certain venues. More inconsistent and baffling messaging from a clueless opposition. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Social distancing remaining = massive numbers of businesses economically unviable and state continuing to pay millions of peoples' wages. All for a weird cough that means you might not be able to smell anything for a few weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I am a bit touchy at the moment, but as both myself and my wife are locked into our house, both with this “weird cough” I think I am entitled to be. Maybe if you had added to weird cough, days of high temperature, 24 hour vomiting, headache, aching joints, loss of taste and smell, no sleep etc, I might not have got annoyed reading your post. We are both double jabbed. Appreciate symptoms differ from person to person, but to just call it a “Weird Cough” is wat too simplistic.

We are both double jabbed. Appreciate symptoms differ from person to person, but to just call it a “Weird Cough” is wat too simplistic. Yes, it' was unpleasant and I was being flippant definitely. I was locked into my house too. That wouldn't be the case long term for COViD cases. In terms of other symptoms, yes I was lucky. Also worth mentioning that the vaccine doesn't work for 10% of people. So they are still at risk of dying. But we need to think if that's enough to keep parts of the economy shut off. When we were told the available vaccines were 90% effective against hospitalisations and deaths, there was jubilation. I heard noone say 'but what about the 10%?' or 'what about getting minor cases of COVID'. We have completely lost sight of why COVID is a problem- it can overwhelm health services and cause deaths if no treatment exists. But treatments do exist. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don't we go the whole hog and call them Doctors or Knights of the Realm? We may as well, those names are just as accurate as using "client". I would use the word "inmate". Perhaps using language which doesn’t belittle them, or reinforce their criminality may assist in their rehabilitation, which at the end of the day is the point. Also, it may remind the prison officers that they are not there to “punish” the prisoners, but look after them. The punishment element has already been taken care of by their incarceration.

Once Sunak pulls the plug on furlough it should be game over for the devolved governments. He was in Scotland either yesterday or today and getting grief from the SNP about ending furlough. You can draw your own conclusions about what they want to happen regarding restrictions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SANTAN Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Someone I'm mates with shared this on Twitter. I am stunned they could be so stupid. How do you go about being a big conspiracy nutter but at the same time trust an Alexa.

I hope you are discussing this is good faith, so I’ll continue as if you are. ”Inmate” has 2 connotations - either a prisoner, or someone in a mental institution. Neither is a positive one. You’ve also ignored the point of the impact language has on the Prison Officer. “A society should be judged not by how it treats its outstanding citizens but by how it treats its criminals.” ― Fyodor Dostoyevsky 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
