Police believe the altercation occurred over face masks and are appealing for anyone with information to come forward.
Damned if you wear a mask and damned if you don't!

According to Jacob Rees-Mogg, instead of complaining when you got home, you should have cracked open the beers and started celebrating the phenomenal success of the UK's Covid-19 testing facilities. :?
I agree with him, we are living in a criticise culture. When the Government does something the media go on a mission to find someone to criticise it. I can understand their motive, agreement is less newsworthy than criticism but it does give a distorted picture.

I agree he doesn't deserve criticism - he deserves a smack! People with appointments have driven 150 miles only to find nobody has turned up, bothered to contact them to say the appointment was cancelled or even made a public announcement. It's basic courtesy to contact appointees if you can't make an appointment even if they're not driving 150 miles!

That is of course totally unacceptable but was JRM to blame? No. If you want to smack someone go smack the person who didn't turn up or would you have it JRM's responsibility to go around the whole country every morning and make sure everybody is doing and managers are managing everything 100%? The 100% infallible system has not yet been invented especially for new ventures.

I wasn't blaming JRM for the problem but his sheer arrogance, indifference and insensitivity, suggesting somebody who's wasted a day and a 300-mile round trip should "celebrate" the UK's testing facilities, although he wasn't actually talking to them.

BJ admitted we were caught napping and totally unprepared for Covid-19. I think he's forgotten that he was at the helm at the time. :?

Bog roll manufacturers say sales have gone up 60% in the last week but they still have capacity to keep producing. Nevertheless, I'm getting a pack of 4 tomorrow to be safe. :)

Wearthefoxhat,

I read recently that the guy who composed the hokey cokey died recently, but they had problems getting his body in the coffin. They put his left leg in . . .

Medical professionals have been saying all year that masks don't protect you, they protect other people. Now one at least says Trump's infection was inevitable because he doesn't often wear a mask!
