    More Lockdowns?

    'Supporting' the NHS is one thing, but advocating crippling lockdowns every winter for the foreseeable future because the NHS in its current form "cannot cope" with endemic respiratory illnesses is unsustainable and shouldn't be allowed to happen because it would destroy the country... MARK

    What if you get "pinged" or contacted by NHS Test and Trace when on holiday?

    As per the other replies, this part simply isn't true. And as for being contacted by track and trace, why would anyone answer a call from an unknown/unrecognised number in the first place, especially if they were on holiday?? :s MARK

    How much traffic to/from Hull docks?

    Several times a year, a shipload of biomass arrives at Hull (instead of Immingham) destined for Drax; which can temporarily triple the number of freight movements, but only for a week or two at a time. MARK

    The case for and against the effectiveness of face coverings and the mandating of their use

    Really?? o_O The difference is that shops don't have passive-aggressive posters on their doors asking people to wear a hat or a scarf "out of consideration for others" - it's this subtle but highly effective coercion which is the reason for the many posters on this forum accusing...

    The case for and against the effectiveness of face coverings and the mandating of their use

    What I meant was that until 10 days ago, it was mandatory to wear a mask in a pub or cafe while walking to and from your table, going to the toilet, etc and in may experience, 99% of people complied with that particular requirement, but since July 19th, I haven't seen anyone in a pub or cafe...

    The case for and against the effectiveness of face coverings and the mandating of their use

    I live in the same 'corner of Lancashire' as Green Tractor and with the exception of some smaller shops, I think it's a bit of an exaggeration to claim that "most people" are wearing masks - that certainly wasn't the case in Morrisons and Sainsburys in Morecambe and nobody whatsoever (including...

    What is the Covid-19 Exit Strategy of 'Zero Covid' countries such as Hong Kong?

    I get the impression that a lot of Aussies have been mocking the UK this year, calling us 'plague island', etc... I wonder if they will be quite as smug when they are still having regular snap lockdowns this time next year?? MARK
