It just isn't practical ' to get back to normal education' currently or in the foreseeable future. What happens with the people that take them to school, wait to pick them up again at the end of the day? How is that sorted out with social distancing? Where do they wait? There can be nothing ' norma...

Is it ‘common sense’ to expect four and five year old children to follow guidelines?

As I said to Aggi, that was in reference to the rest of us in our daily lives. I don't think it's necessary for children to wear masks, especially in the controlled environment of the classroom.

But you're not going to get reception and year one classes doing this. Getting a 4 year old to wear a mask and gloves and abide by social distancing is a hiding to nothing. Bringing back year 6, maybe year 5, makes sense. The other years less so I'm sorry, I didn't make myself clear. The mask and g...

I think, given the government's present levels of incompetence and worrying lack of support, the last thing they'd do is apply strongarm tactics to try and bully Lancashire into opening its schools. If the five rules haven't been met then the county would be reckless to risk stoking the infection r...

You say “I’m trying to keep an open mind” and then immediately say that one of the conclusions you could have drawn is “sickening to accept”. This suggests your mind may not be as open as you think. Dismissing something as false because you don’t want it to be true (unfortunately, recent events hav...

What if a housing estate was 12.6% black but 23% of people arrested were black? As Greenmile pointed out the same thing above, I'd agree that that would be racist. You argue, and I've never disagreed because I don't know, that black people are disproportionately targeted because they are black. If ...

It’s not the “black community”’s job to do that it’s the entire community’s. As has been repeatedly pointed out to you , the black community doesn’t have the wealth or power to implement the structural changes you’re suggesting. I’ll ask again, why are you consistently putting the blame on black pe...

Not my stats - I was just helping out Damo with his question. I do need to point out to you that the ghettos, projects, poverty etc can themselves be “pinned on racism” they are symptoms of an endemically racist system. You seem to be trying really hard to put forward the argument that it’s the fau...

Colburn_Claret

That is possible. Although obviously, as others have said, it then just moves the discussion on to why is this the case and from a police force that is institutionally racist to a country that's institutionally racist. The fundamental "black lives matter" issue is still the same. I couldn't agree m...

Colburn_Claret

From the George Floyd thread :- Those stats are worrying, but it could be misleading. In America the gang culture, drug culture, gangsta boys tend to come from the ghettos, or projects. These places are predominantly black or ethnic areas. In this country its the housing estates that provide the ga...

What a load of rubbish. If a black officer had done the same to a white person and this was caught on video you think it would have passed without the blinking of an eye? Why are you in denial about the very obvious problem with racism in the USA and particularly within the police force? I'm not in...

Colburn_Claret

The narrative begins with a person donning a uniform and murdering ethnic minority people. There’s obviously a problem in the US, and when sports stars protest peacefully, they lose their jobs, and the issue isn’t dealt with. I’ve seen quite a few people invoke MLK, but let’s not forget that his pe...

Players should honour their contracts, but from memory Tarks parents deteriorating health, and the interest from Burnley and an opportunity to move closer to them was turned down.

I was at Wimbledon and Newcastle. I found Wimbledon more of an embarrassment, and Newcastle more frustrating. Trying to explain to Geordie fans, who weren't there, that we played them off the pitch, only to be accused of sour grapes. At 17 I hated MacDonald. I forgave him 20 odd years later when I h...

But you were ok with Tarkowski doing exactly this when he was trying to push a deal away from Brentford to us?

Different circumstances. Tarks wanted to move nearer to his parents in Oldham, he wasn't frightened of being injured.

Nobody likes rioting and disorder, but let’s not take this out of context, and let’s agree that aggressive policing - killing people - is what has to stop, and the offenders need to be locked up. A country that resorts to violence and murder of citizens to intimidate them perpetuate itself has no a...

The problem with antifa, and many other of these organisations is the hangers on. There is a well meaning message that gets lost because of hangers on looking for a riot. Im happy to listen to the message, but the looters and trouble makers need locking up. Democracy demands you make your argument p...

It needs to be.

The media team should have a basic crowd noise with Burnley songs played every so often. Huge cheers when we score.

Try and make it home advantage as best we can.

I've been thinking the same, we need to screw every bit of advantage we can.

At the time of the visit to the castle he was breaking lockdown rules, hence the apparent fairy tale about testing his eyesight by driving, illegally I must add, to the castle He wasn't visiting the castle, that was closed at the time.

And what about his jolly to Barnard Castle while he was testing his eyes ? Describing it as a 'Jolly' is just compounding the media theories, not taking it at face value.

This is a spectacular interpretation. So long as the person involved deems something necessary they cannot be doing anything wrong. Fancy driving 200 miles to buy some second hand windows.

Your absolutely right, Vegas. I'm pretty sure loads have broken the lockdown orders. Lots of those caught doing it have been warned and/or fined.

This isn’t quite right. Say there are 100,000 people in the UK with Covid currently, if the R is 0.75 that means there will be 75,000 with it a week later. So on and so forth. So yes, the disease is dying out (though it will take months and many of us will still die out with it). But if, say, Franc...

So just for the medically uneducated (me). Let’s say r is at 0.5 in the wider community. Does that mean it disappears?

To the point further up the thread in the r rate.

Its not a flat line dying out , the lower the...
