My First thought was that if the uk improved it's child car seat safety advice / regulations ( similar to the Swedish regulations) there would be fewer children injured in car crashes but that's me going off on a bit of a tangent.

No one is listening anymore, even my pro-independence friends aren’t listening to her ‘advice’.
We’re having a Hogmanay party with at least 15 people from well over 3 households, how do you like that Sturgeon
She'll be livid you'll all be having a great time

No one will know. You can contact your local MASH team anonymously, or Google your towns safeguarding number/email do do the same.
If you know their school you can also contact them on one off email address that doesn't give clue to who you are - if you tell them that you've contacted MASH that will really help their case too because repeated concerns will be prioritised.
You could also use that email address to contact the police on 101, but would understand why you wouldn't want to do that.
Even if they suspect you they can't prove it, and I think that of God forbid anything happens to the children you'd feel awful having done nothing.
If they give you grief then thats a direct call/email to 101.
I wouldn't let the bastards win. Goes ups can take shit, kids can't.
The government are doing a shit job at safeguarding children, so it's up to us to do it while they force kids to live with abusive parents because of needless lockdowns

Quoted the wrong person sorry. The above message was for you.. it's been a long day

It's not even 1%. Since March 20 less than 0.25% of the population have died with Covid. With not of.

And I'm one of them. PCR came back positive

Still only got mild cold symptoms
Hopefully that's all you'll get ,any wonder there's no tests left with that sort of demand.

I've received a text from my gp partnership asking me to reply if I want to be given an appointment by them or if I have already made one elsewhere.

I'm not sure what I think about the booster situation, it's less than 5 months since my second jab. I certainly don't want to be travelling miles just to get one , I'll see if there's local appointments .

I don't normally listen to radio now, mostly podcast but on talk radio this morning alone was 2 phone in saying they had to stay a few nights in hospital and it was empty, nurses sitting around drinking coffee and another said A and E was empty both times they went with a repeat message on a speaker saying we may not look busy right now but we are
It's so blatent now, propaganda and lies upon lies.

Unfortunately I belong to a UK online BC support group and am seeing this nearly every day.
It's simply a lack of bed. The surgeon told him he would be next this morning, but it's the lack of bed that's the issue. He'd been waiting there for 8 hours with no food or drink (he couldn't eat or drink due to going in for surgery) and then at the end he was given food and drink when they told him he would have to return home. It's just maddening this happens simply for lack of beds. He said the staff were brilliant though, including the nurses.

Thank goodness this isn't the black death. We have far more ways to protect ourselves these days, yet our freedoms are far less. Make it make sense.
During the black death one of the ways to stop the spread was sealing the doors of the sick people and put a mark on their door - nobody was allowed to come in. It was either you survive either you die.

Plus when 30% of a town/village was dying of the plague, I am not sure freedom was the most important concern (like if as a farmer etc. you had any anyway!) but how to survive with the loss of all of those people and how long you will have before the next bout of the death plague/other diseases.

That made people even more religious as there was no way to understand what was happening so that could only be a divine punishment and it's quite fascinating to look at those very dark paintings from those periods with utterly sinistee scenes of the apocalypse/the purgatory.

Things suck at the moment but I would rather live nowadays than during of any of those pandemics during the middle ages! Today the plague can be cured with antibiotics, same as leprosis thanks god.

Someone I know got pinged as a contact last night and as shes double jabbed only had to isolate until midnight when the rules changed . Her PCR is negative but make it make sense

I had to wait over 7 hours each time for two surgeries and that was before this mess even started. Hope he gets another slot ASAP!

How the hell has the red countries list been scraped and quarantine is no more on arrival into the UK. Is it because they need these hotel beds for the people that Government have said they will discharge because they don’t need to be in hospital. The proverbial box of frogs are running our country. They are laughing their arses off at us over their cheddar and jacobs crackers.

I assumed it’s because they probably suspect omicron came from the uk but they don’t want to admit it

Travel quarantine is useless once a variant is spreading through the community

Apparently there's been 1.3 million tests done today.

Even at the cheapest £26 pound per test that's over 26.5 million pounds!
It can cost up to £43 pound depending on where its sent though.

If they're sequencing at the cheapest cost of £19 per test then that's 36.4 Million!
It can go up to £69, again depending on who they use

That's just what one day has cost!

Just imagine if they had used the untold billions spent so far to improve the NHS
