Might have got lost in translation

It's just a name to type. Nothing to do with friendliness or subconscious fetish I think calling him BoJo would be more along the lines of your description! I think that private letter/phonecall thing wasn't essentially bad.

Mediocre? Really? I thought Boris looked flustered as ever. Starmer was hitting him with some points that Boris just had to go back to some bankers to defend, and not actually answer (shock). He was asked 3 times to condemn Trump's response to the protests/riots. Failed in any way to do so which no doubt doesn't look great and points to only keeping US on side for economic reasons. But anyway, I think mediocre is not right. Perhaps not as powerful as recent weeks but Boris always seems to be on the ropes to some extent when Starmer is hammering the questions away, blow-by-blow but still maintaining that calm persona.

Puts a mockery on Rees-Mogg's selfish thoughts to get everyone back for the fun of it, too.

Sorry mate, I'm back.

Obviously not.

Italy has re-opened its borders without quarantine. Portugal are willing to open up an 'air-bridge' with UK and possibly have no quarantine rules on arrival, just temperature checks.

I doubt Brazil, Mexico & US would go ahead; they don't seem to have stopped their COVID, and I doubt the rates would go down after all the stuff happening recently. Maybe they'll head to/towards Asia - Russia, Azerbaijan, Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, Vietnam for Sept-Nov...

I doubt it.

Yeah they should have waited til it all died down. Maybe the cops should have waited to stick their knee in to Floyd's neck for 9 mins til coronavirus went away too.

Yerry Mina out as well.

Government have delayed releasing data on BAME people being disproportionately affected by COVID for the 2nd time because they're scared of the ramifications it could have given 'current global events'. Surely it needs to be released to 'alert' people to the dangers, and how they may be able to protect themselves while the virus is still going round? It's ironic they keep it hidden?

Reported.

another slip-up by the government?!

But you can have sex perhaps in your garden or in park with up to 5 people

2 Wow that's mad. In a good way! Only seems like yesterday it was in the 1000s on the regular.

Silverstone x2 is happening! https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/52872157

SkyBet used to do this as well. Maybe all bookies do in some respect. Whenever I've raised it the excuse was 'technical issue'. They usually offered a free bet or returned stake as a good will gesture.

Can't say it wasn't expected. Headteachers, teachers, school staff, parents, guardians, probably even kids themselves have been complaining about this 1st June 're-opening' date since it was first announced. Unless I've missed it (with so much going on, it's likely!) I've not heard the government properly explain why they think it's safe. All the above have mentioned they don't think it's safe, even @RandoEFC gave a good account of reasons, and they themselves may not feel safe given their own vulnerabilities or perhaps risk to other household members. It's good the councils have taken it upon themselves to make decisions. Same with parents who don't want to take their kids back. Decision should be up to them and I just hope they don't get punished for it. Let's face it as well, this government's middle name might as well be confusion.
