United Kingdom Headlines News

United Kingdom Latest News, United Kingdom Headlines

"Women carry the burden of creating and maintaining family traditions and activities at Christmas.

But they suggest a series of measures, ranging from minimising the numbers getting together to keeping events brief to avoiding physical contact. If staying overnight, children should share bedrooms with their parents, not the children of another household

BorisJohnson are you saying that children are prone to spreading virus? I thought you said the opppsite when you defended yourselves about reopening schools in sept! MattHancock CMO_England

Aviod board games board games got covid or something get stuffed next you will say we can't have turkey because that was tested positive for covid before it was killed

EndUKLockdown1 🤣 yeah good one! Don't think so....

Yeah just bring a space blanket for the hypothermia. Seriously, the only thing sage should be used for is stuffing a turkey.

Oh yeah! I’ll have my 70 year old parent sat outside in the freezing cold so they can catch flu! Great idea, seriously BBCNews your full of ****.

Try NOT all sitting on the same side of the table at once🤔

There’s no such thing as ‘safe’ Christmas Hug your Grandparents and say ‘bye’ to them, Lol!

On the day of your birth ........ sign here please so we can control you and tell you what is and isn’t happening in your life. It’s not your life it’s the governments and how they see fit to let you live it - thanks mum and dad .. send me back in

Bruv, they’ll be freezing, even with fluffy coats they’ll be freezing.

What if i invest in a giant version of Monopoly or Cluedo would that be allowed?

My daughter is at her grandparents right now for a sleep over so this advice can FUCK OFF

“Scientists” have got us into this awful mess, so they should perhaps take a back seat from now on. Nobody has any faith in them for their moronic and blinkered opinions.

Get lost.

I am expecting homeless because they live on the street hence their home can only meet indoors. As I don't think they grasp shielding yet. Nor standing freezing in the middle of a field. While I may look like a scarecrow; but I don't want to act like one in the winter.

Has anyone asked all the grandparents if the want to be kept from their families over Christmas? It seems to me that lots of people are making assumptions about what they want! If it was me in my 70s 80s 90s I would rather take my chances and spend time with my family!

Omg

Why not ask them. Im sure they’d like to choose if they wld like contact. Older ppl might be Interested in this paper looking at loneliness and it’s impact on the immune system:

sad that you used to be respected.

And they can die of exposure instead!

How many ‘advisers’ on the SAGE quango have got Pharma’ pensions ?

SAGE won’t be happy until we’re all wearing hazmat suits 24/7 and surviving off army rations. No doubt they’ll get their wish of another lockdown and we all get the blame for “not following their guidance”.

Give us a break ... this is just guesswork ... for good advice ... don’t shut your eyes when driving your car 👍

Shove gran and grandad out in the cold, great idea 👍

EndUKLockdown1 [ Cancels licence fee direct debit ]

Any sane person would just ignore this advice. SAGE has proven time and time again they’ve got it wrong. They are focused totally on the virus so exclude everything else. It don’t matter if you’re gran is freezing to death as long as they haven’t got the virus so it’s ok.

Phew! 🏏🍾🥂

Oh just FOXTROT OSCAR with that advice!

Why not sit the family in separate rooms and play on their phones via wifi while listening to the BBC brainwash about the fake pandemic?

God damn it. We hugged and kissed Christmas Eve and Christmas morning, passed each other presents and sat close whilst enjoying a lovely Christmas dinner. You play one small game of monopoly at the end of the day and BANG, Covid.

Can see the January headline now 'Gov't: spike in cases over Christmas due to Cluedo' Fucking idiots.

Oh ffs... it's not April the 1st is it I have just so had enough of this b*******s. I shall be doing whatever I feel is right for me and my family, and anyone who doesn't like it can f**k off. Sorry for the offence... it's Friday... (not in the pub...)

Ok I’ll just wear bloody gloves then

Stop living in fear

If only the country was a laboratory and we were their mice, but it isn't and we are not. Now feck of with this nonsense.

Oh dad thank you for coming over for Christmas lunch, I've put up a lovely table and chair for you, thats it keep going you're sitting out on the patio but don't worry I've opened the window so we can still chat but unfortunately you will have to pull your own cracker 🤦‍♂️

Sage are losing it

Burn your chess boards people.

Given that we are only allowed to mix indoors with a small number of relatives, I doubt that board games will be one of the greatest risks. I suspect It will be well behind pubs, restaurants, public transport, toilet seats, etc.! We need to get real!

No Twister then?

Boris and family will be playing Would I lie to you.

Is PS5 immune to Covid? Or should I stick with Xbox Series X? How will i ever know what to do without the BBC telling me?

They will be using Scrabble to spell it out.

Beyond ridiculous now!

Errrr what about presents then? 😁

They’ve got absolutely no cluedo 🙄

Scientists. Fuck Off. Yours, Engineer.

Is this satire?!?!?

We’ve had a shit enough year, we do our best now lay off now. Spend more time in the lab focusing on a vaccine then wasting time with ridiculous unreal ‘advice’.

Ffs

Yeah, yeah, don't play monopoly or it might kill granny. The country has gone mad.

Even if we’d be playing with the people we are in close contact with every day anyway 🤔

Bore the feck off and let people live their lives! Next you’ll be saying you can’t have toilet roll in the bathroom!

EndUKLockdown1 Brilliant. Drag your 82 yr old Nan in the park when it's minus 1 degrees in December for a catch up. That'll do her the world of good 🙄

More nonsense

인간의 뜻과 온전한 하나님의 뜻은 언제나 갈등이 있습니다. 하나님의 뜻은 인간이 거룩함을 이루고 천국에 들어갈 기회를 잡는 것입니다. MegaWordVigil

oh for god sake

MegaWordVigil Has this generation LONGED for The Coming of The MESSIAH? 8. 이 세대는 메시아의 오심을 갈망해왔습니까?

Bore off you bellends

Will you play board games now?

Given that huge numbers of grandparents are involved in ‘childcare bubbles’ so parents can work, most are in close contact daily with kids who are at school. This government is so out of touch with reality

Thought schools were safe and kids don't get it, But if they did get it, they won't get it that bad..oh! and it's extremely unlikely they will transmit it to others!!! Anybody else remember this BS we were fed?

This is getting beyond the joke it already is...

In minus 10 degrees ?

Should be good for the Christmas nooky🤔, sudden cancellation of the fancy underwear orders ... 😜😂

If the Covid doesn’t kill Gran, maybe double pneumonia will...

You’re still not getting it , no one believes them or you anymore. The game is over. Time to get the real scientists in to clean this up and a general election ASAP. We must get this country back on track. Don’t be on the wrong side of this ToryCorruption

EndUKLockdown1 Get a grip ffs

Stay at home, its the safest way to be this Christmas..

ClimateDepot Board games ❌ cards ❌ singing ❌ lawn darts ✅💯👍

Everything about this so called pandemic is ridiculous but this is the most insane news headline I have ever seen. If there is any advice they should be giving it should be to ignore MSM.

EndUKLockdown1 In the freezing cold? Nah fuck off.

Bloody hell in this weather. A sure way to kill us oldies off

“Make sure you include the women in the decision making?! That whole section is like something from the 1950s with some clipped English male presenter. “After all,they take the burden of festive duties” 🙄

The Grandparents of my kids are 60.... do you guys not have any other news other than pushing fear? How about this?

Have been seeing my grandparents since March and will continue throughout December and next year. More bull shit from the Scientists

So why change the restrictions for the festive week?

What planet do these muppets come from

These so-called 'Scientists' AREN'T SCIENTISTS AT ALL!!!

Children should be going home after dinner not lingering around

This level of detail is similar to Stasi in former East Germany. Since when did we wake up in a medical dictatorship?

People are not slaves for anyone or any organisation. Don't distract their personal life style. Give them enough information & educate them. They will decide what to do & they take full responsibility for their actions 😆😅😂

Ideal with the British climate and not all Grandparents are spritely ! My parents are in their 80’s and would love to see their grandchildren we’ve been put into tier 3 even though we are south Warwickshire and very low cases so I can’t even go and see them in their garden 🤬

Ok so they all get Pneumonia or Flu (or both!) from the cold! Makes sense, NOT!! MORONS!!!

FVCK OFF!

SAGE's 'guidance' has already done enough damage. They can stick it where the sun don't shine.

In the middle of fuckin December 🤦‍♂️ so they catch hyperthermia & you can record their deaths as Covid Mine will continue meeting them indoors

Hasbro's share price today

No piss off and stop provoking civil disobedience t wats!

Mass civil disobedience

No Naked Twister ?

Hugs kisses love and common sense is what I prescribe

whittyslaw

What happens at the dinner table? 😀

Sadly lots of different views but one thing that is certain is that the news in early Jan will be full of stories how we had a great Christmas but now granny and Grandad have died

Trying to minimise a problem of their own creation, clearly no contact would be the only solution.

The BBC has some much needed advice for those that can't think for themselves and just to ramp the fear up a bit more to get everyone closer to that vaccine line up.

Children should see their grandparents whenever possible.

And make all the grandparents freeze to death outside?

Fuck off . I’ll be doing what the fuck I like, just like every other Xmas

Avoid fun! Don’t see anyone. Lock your doors & don’t come out!

Get lost.

The scientists.........

Here in Northern Ireland , we encourage families to do the same, but grandparents and grandchildren will not be expected to meet outside -Mary Lou and Gerry Adams

Think back to this time last year and if you’d ever believe THIS would be an issue. Take a step back and think.

BeNosey

Sod off i'm seeing my nan

Scots have been advised to have their Prosecco in the garden at Xmas, like a friggin Monty Python sketch!

I hope with this, the parents are listening and do what is right, not just for themselves, but for their loved ones, and most especially, the children. We are at a critical time of our lives, let's all take responsibility for our action, and most importantly, stay safe!

If they're already in the same house for days I can't see how sleeping is the main issue.

Twister. Not a board game, therefore covid-immune. No need to thank me.

How could it not be 'theoretical risk' if it is based on research carried out on another virus during non-pandemic environment? There is no way to decreases risk without total lockdown. So just publish a list of advice and caution, keep the pubs closed and just let people decide

night We've agreed to three households but mum and dad will be eating in the garden shed . I bought swing ball for after lunch so fingers crossed we should all be ok

Just stay home, folks. No Christmas gathering is worth throwing someone's life away.

*ways to beat a virus* don’t play board games. Is this going to get anymore absurd?

I hope Prof Neil Ferguson follows the “sleepover” advice

But it's ok to SHARE a classroom 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Get Fuxked you couldn’t tell me how to live my life in March and you certainly won’t now... fuxking bedwetters sky clappers and face nappy wearing twats have caused all this.....

Get the f*ck out of our houses, out of our bedrooms and out of our Christmases 'scientists' (and i use the term loosely).

See your family but you all have to sit in opposite corners if the room and not touch anything... Not sure Grandad will adhere to that after a few Whiskeys 😂😂

night Just get off our backs and let us get on with life. There are risks in everything in life

Buy a bigger house.

Due to scientific advice we're not playing board games this Christmas. We are playing Twister.

But 30 in a classroom is fine.

Can advise these idiots we are now laughing at them, rolling our eyes and completely ignoring them. Whitty’s Law now invoked: whittyslaw

are there any particular boards games that should be avoided?

Anyone else sick to death of these fucking scientists?

Literally nanny state. We need to go back to normal now, before we add to the current total of 30,000 excess non-covid deaths

Make sure you all wash your hands before playing board games and don't cough and splitter all over the pieces sorted.

Um, s.d off

Indeed

How about you ask them to look at the latest data instead. Lockdown decisions were made on the basis of data up to 19th November, but things have changed a lot since then.

FUCK. THAT

Pointless. If you're sharing dinners together with an infected person for hours on end everyone is going to have covid by evening time regardless of sleeping arrangements

Can advise these idiots we are now laughing at them, rolling our eyes and completely ignoring them. Whitby’s Law now invoked: whittyslaw

Oh so you are at the silly-ideas-to-reduce-the-risks-of-covid-at-Christmas stage too in the UK ? That's fun. Here in France, they want Granny and Grand'pa to eat alone in the kitchen 🤪 I'm adding 'bring your own food' to my collection, that's a good one 😂

The Government is no longer fit to govern.

I think that it’s getting to the stage where folk don’t really care anymore. Refusing to show any scientific information that backs the decision to close pubs. From lockdown,to tier 3, to a free for all over Christmas. Clueless

I can't believe Wayne Coyne was prepared for the virus all along....

Weird!

It aint Christmas without monopoly causing ww3

LOOOOL. BUT SCHOOLS ARE OPEN.

should this should that. ffs.

Sod off

What next? Don’t talk down the mic to your online mates during a game session due to risk of infection?

Get a grip BBC

Go away

That could be awkward for Johnson.

Take note covidiots, we'll all be locked down next year to placate you lot.

What the fuck. How out of touch are these scientists 'They highlight the particular importance of involving women in the decision-making'. Jesus

Avoid board games? GOD FORBID WE HAVE ANY SLITHER OF FUN

Oh fvck off and do one. NOBODY CARES and nobody is paying the SLIGHTEST attention to this SHAM!

Never before in history has a highly prevalent, super deadly respiratory virus been eradicated by people playing quizzes rather than board games (along with the one-way system in Tescos of course). I’m fcuking amazed there are still people who believe in this COVID-safe bullshit.

Oh shut up

No board games at Christmas! Quick phone Santa...!

Put the monopoly away.... it’s too risky

Looks like the politicians watered down the advice and the scientists are desperately trying to row it back.

It needs a scientist to work that out. God help us

SAGE are puritanical fanatics, they make the taleban look Liberal

Just ignore this farcical nonsense and celebrate Christmas however you like.

Added bonus of reducing rape risk as well.. - 'Children should share bedrooms with their parents, not the children of another household' Scientists spell out ways to minimise Covid risk at Christmas

All sit round the dining table and in the Living Room, but don't sleep near each other. Cracking science there.

Imagine sleeping in the same room as mum and dad getting up for a piss and then seeing them go full on at it as a midnight Christmas present but as long as they’re safe from Covid hey

👌✌️

What scientists?

🖕

Specifically Pandemic?

Give it a rest nanny state. Mass civil disobedience.
