He lives in a house
A very big house in the country
He's got a fog in his chest
So he needs a lot of rest in the country
He doesn't drink, smoke, laugh
Takes herbal baths in the country
But you'll come to no harm
On the animal farm in the country
In the country, in the country, in the country

Schools should remain open on a rota to allow students to socially distance. Why is no one arguing for this?

What about the teachers?

@Ramsaye Think you're funny as you remembered I made that mistake once.

@cozey Ah if I'm drinking Mad dog it has got to be in the park on the swings.

@Stoo61 Ah Bucky, popular to make negronis I have been told. Is sanotogen tonic wine similar.

So cheap child care and fuck the teachers and support workers?

I don't think there is the slightest hint that this government cares about school staff. They don't donate enough to the party.

Just walked passed the 3 pubs in the village, there rammed, like mad Friday before Christmas rammed. Most people where sitting at table but not all, it was like a gammon super spreader even.

Come mid December we might have a few less Tory voters at least.

They got until Thursday to be able to go to the pubs, always a good ideas.

Nope, mate says it’s carnage, no ppe, parents sending kids in when they are supposed to be isolating etc, I feel really sorry for them.

fuck me.

looking forward to reading Charles and Eddie's hot takes on the Common Fisheries Policy.
