Lockdown In The New Year ?

[Gromit]

Johnson would not dare to impose a lockdown at Christmas, but is another lockdown in January now inevitable?

I'm sorry to have not disappointed you.

maybe TTT is morphing into Gully. haha

Boris needs to lock down NOW..... not wait until after Christmas
...It's no good good closing your door after the Covid has entered.

well if they applied rule 9 I know of at least 2 that would be gone.

Don't be sorry for something you can't help, Jim, but you ought to realise that that sort of thing is just as boring as TTT's gambling invitations.... more so in fact for what should be obvious reasons.

Boris won't be bothered about lockdown anymore.....
... If he loses Thursdays By-election ,,,,,he will be more worried about being locked out.

Covid - in all its manifestations - has entered. and not just here but even countries like australia and NZ who still have the most draconian entry restrictions. it cannot be kept out.

naomi, if you are sure of your position it's not a gamble.

That's absolute nonsense and I love a gamble.

TTT
I seem to remember earlier this year (or possibly last year) you offered a bet that fortunately no one took you up on because you would have lost hundreds of pounds.
Rather than learn a lesson from that, it made you worse.

[ToraToraTora]

Indeed but the point is I backed my own view and I would have paid out.

The Tories are not going to lose on Thursday. Their majority will be halved but they will still win by thousands of votes.

[Gromit]

Then again, the bookies have made the LibDem favourite to overturn a 23,000 majority.

Considering that the virus isn't going anywhere (much like the aids and flu viruses) and will presumably continue to mutate, I'm wondering what measures you'd be happy with Gromit.

A permanent state of lockdown?

To refresh this post….

Any bets on Xmas lockdown ?

Or immediately after?

I’m going for a potential Xmas lockdown (or at the very least a reduction in how many people can gather in your own home)

Btw this is my guess as to what may happen it is NOT what I want to happen,
