Today is the start of Eid , what will it mean to those communities ? It's going to be very hard for everyone

[Bobbisox1]

No problem PD , A sensible input

[mushroom25]

the "wear mask" mission creep continues - now all enclosed public spaces. so I fully expect, coming to you soon - wearing of masks mandated everywhere beyond your front door.

Hi Bobbs, late start today. No plans, too hot.

Still can't focus in my left eye, opticians 25th August.

Just hoping I have not dislodged the cataract implant.

On the plus side, I still have one working ear and one working eye.

Just wished some of the other bits of me still worked,lol.

[Bobbisox1]

Hello Sparkly , have you an eye department at your local hospital you could go to, or even A&E , they might refer you as that's probably what your optician will do anyway

[woofgang]

mushroom, have you got a link to that? I thought it was face coverings NOT masks, everywhere you can't stay 2 metres apart? what has changed?

[mushroom25]

masks. face coverings. whatever. I know there's a difference but I'm fed up with being told it's the same thing, just semantics.

[SparklyKid]

Thought about that Bobbs, quite happy to wait till 25th Aug.

Might settle down by then.

Cataracts done at Blackpool Victoria hospital. Before trying to see them, I thought it would be a good idea to let the optician determine the problem.

Good luck Sparkly

[woofgang]

Hope it goes ok for you sparkley

Look at the Towns affected. We all know what they have in common but not allowed to mention the elephant in the room.

Having said that all this has now moved from 'save the NHS' to control.

We gave up our freedom too easily. Boris and Hancock need to go before it is too late.

Get your drift YMB, we have 5% dirty muslims out of 3 million people, so it is a wonder the Government haven’t set up internment camps.

youngmafbog, you really are a silly little racist, aren't you ("not allowed to mention the elephant in the room.")

If the towns and cities involved ARE homes to more migrants than you'd like (which is probably none) then there are plenty of other possible reasons for them being sicker than other places - poverty, overcrowding, families living more closely together than proper white families (who quite properly send their relatives and old folk off to live elsewhere).

So come on, chum, spit it out, so we can return the compliment.

ahh the name calling, favourite of the left when trying to cancel someone, and proof of what I wrote.

[ParsleyDumpling]

To be fair YMB did not mention immigrants, I assume he was referring to the high BAME communities in these towns?

[youngmafbog]

"Get your drift YMB, we have 5% dirty muslims"

I have not said they are dirty, you have. Being dirty has nothing to do with it more the cultural way of life.

The problem with people like you and Allen is that if you dont look at things objectively you will never sort things out.

But no, both of you return to form with name calling and false accusations.

[Mamyalynne]

I have to laugh at such comments as - "not allowed to mention the elephant in the room".

There was a thread posted last night which began with that very intention and my name was used as a vehicle to convey it under the pretext of concern.

Whatever the reasons for the recent increase in numbers, they need addressing.

[ParsleyDumpling]

Sorry missed out the words "numbers of" when referring to BAME communities.

[Gromit]

I am sure the Government will publish details of the spike in cases of corona virus in Greater Manchester.

The Government’s latest available figures in my area Are here.

Ymb,
I have not called you names.
You are obviously a bit geographically challenged if you think Trafford resemble London ethnicly.

[Gromit]

Trafford 3.3% muslim
London 12.4% muslim

Th notion that Trafford is again restricted because of its muslim population is potty.
