Anyone making use of the lateral flow tests everyone can now order in the post or collect from the chemist.

I've got a box of them here that I got from Laly's a couple of months ago (they have a two year lifespan)

The Market I sell at in London require stallholders to upload a pic of a negative test the night before to be safe

Better than nothing i suppose and I don't know what else they could do but someone could easily redo a positive one with just the plain liquid and post that picture.


I picked mine up from the local chemist, they gave me 2 boxes - 14 tests. Visiting some elderly realitives so have had 2 before I visit.

Someonle could or they could just photoshop the picture etc. There's plenty of ways of faking a negative result, but in the BDSM community, people tend to be a bit more responsible about their behaviour.

Also they do a temperature check before allowing everyone into the venue, masks are worn (of various types    ), there's plenty of room for social distancing and there's a "one way" system to help keep people apart.

Oh I see. When you said selling at a market I thought you had a stall next to someone selling cucumbers on a fruit and veg stall.

8 areas with new advice In the areas listed, wherever possible, you should try to:Meet outside rather than inside where possibleKeep 2 metres apart from people that you don’t live with, this includes friends and family you don’t live withAvoid travelling in and out of affected areas unless it is essential, for example for work (if you cannot work from home) or education

If the government acted *consistently* and promptly, we wouldn't be in the situation we are now.

Andy Burnham was complaining because Manchester was being locked down whilst similar areas weren't whilst, *at the same time* vulnerable people were being told they didn't need to shield any more!

There is simply NO coherence in government decision making and when Ministers start contracticting each other about what the rules are, it's no wonder that people are confused and afraid.

Unfortunately government lacks the will to act in good time to actual threats. If the new Indian variant is so contagious then why allow flights into UK airports from the sub Continent?. While the government acted well over the vaccination program there has been a lack of simple but effective information and advice. which in some cases has been contradictory.
It is very upsetting for those of us who have followed the guidelines to hear on a daily basis of people breaking the rules and "interpreting" these to suit their own selfish motives.

You only have to look at the 8 places mentioned to know which comunities are not and never have abided by the rules. Time some politicians grew a backbone and told them in no uncertain terms to follow the rules.

Not sure government have had much to do with the vaccination program.
Scientists + drugs companies + NHS + Local Health Authorities + volunteers
All the government has done is sign of few cheques.

They opted out of the disastrous EU joint procurement programme for starters.

They were never obliged to be in it.
The only good decision they made, was to precede with the AstraZeneca vaccine, while other countries hesitated.
That's why we are where we are.

They would first have to start obeying the rules themselves, but, as always, they are utter hypocrites who think that there's one rule for them and another for everyone else.

Yep, found the community that's causing the problem

It's a tricky one isn't it?
