Is that why HWMBO always looks so knackered?

I call regionism...

Because the rest of the country are a bunch of pussies who think "Dying with Covid19" is the same as "Dying from Covid19".

In typical Independent fashion, they conflate the attack with the delivery of Easter eggs to make for a click bait headline. ..

Point is there are idiots on here blaming us in London, an area with more people in it than Scotland, but it seems those in a certain NW region really can't bloody behave.

<rant>I was listening to the radio the other day and some woman from Manchester came on to say what's wrong with having a street party for all the children. She was allowed to repeat that twice and then added that people have to use loopholes to get around the restrictions. She was rightly cut off</rant>

Oh I know that was the intention, my ire was then diverted by cheap journalism. To be fair to the journalist they rarely write their own headlines. Ok, so I'm ranting about cheap editing!
