Thefox81 Posted 30 July 2020 Posted 30 July 2020 Would just be nice to be told when they are going to announce it. I mean from the government themselves rather than whispers from reporters or local mps. These are peoples lives and the lack of info is staggering yet again although not surprising.
davieG Posted 30 July 2020 Posted 30 July 2020 https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/news/leicester-news/latest-number-confirmed-coronavirus-cases-4380127#source=breaking-news By Dan MartinPolitics Reporter 19:28, 30 JUL 2020 Another 27 new coronavirus cases have been confirmed in Leicester and Leicestershire today.

The Syrup Posted 30 July 2020 Posted 30 July 2020 Looks like any 8pm Leicester lockdown announcement has gone into extra time
Thefox81 Posted 30 July 2020 Posted 30 July 2020 I wonder if London or any of the other major cities in the UK would have this lack of info if they were in lockdown. I would bet there would be exact times on announcements and would also have a bbc news special for it.
Soar Fox Posted 30 July 2020 Posted 30 July 2020 Fvck the government. It’s time people started taking matters into their own hands and just do what they want. After all that’s what Cummings did.
Legend_in_blue Posted 30 July 2020 Posted 30 July 2020 It's total incompetence. I realise Soulsby has had fair criticism but I actually feel sorry for the bloke. How can anyone be expected to function well with this flappy govt behind them?
foxfanazer Posted 30 July 2020 Posted 30 July 2020 Struggle to see how anybody will take this lockdown seriously anymore. Complete and utter farce

Unfortunately what I want is a few beers up town so not possible without government say so
RonnieTodger Posted 30 July 2020 Posted 30 July 2020 This a ****ing shit show. They bring the announcement forward, then don’t tell us what time. It’s the actual UK government, not your line manager.
HybridFox Posted 30 July 2020 Posted 30 July 2020 Absolute shambles. The whole way they've gone about this local lockdown
Guest Mickyblueeyes Posted 30 July 2020 Posted 30 July 2020 This govt is beyond a joke. How do you bring a decision forward, miss your own deadline and then miss your own extended deadline. They have been messing with people’s lives for too long.
The Syrup Posted 30 July 2020 Posted 30 July 2020 Delayed announcement Soulsby not have clue whats going on (no surprise there), what a fvck up. They might as well toss a coin.

Have beers with your mates round someones house etc. I got fed up with following the rules and guidelines to be locked up for another few weeks while certain people just didn't give a shit and were allowed to get away with it.
Filbert_Ross Posted 30 July 2020 Posted 30 July 2020 That's all fine unless you can't open your business because of this 'lockdown' though aye.
The Syrup Posted 30 July 2020 Posted 30 July 2020 Tbf to Neil O'Brien MP tweeting an 8pm announcement he didn't say what day
Vacamion Posted 30 July 2020 Posted 30 July 2020 I actually had to look on this forum for the latest update, Twitter was full of comment and the news outlets weren't saying much. Fancy getting my news from FoxesTalk! Coming up next on Sky News: Kermo was Decent....
peach0000 Posted 30 July 2020 Posted 30 July 2020 2 minutes ago, The Syrup said: Tbf to Neil O'Brien MP tweeting an 8pm announcement he didn't say what day What do you expect from a tory they are always vague enough that when they **** up they have an excuse. Never get a clear answer from any of them and when you think you do it's always a lie.
CollinsLCFC Posted 30 July 2020 Posted 30 July 2020 Complete and utter joke. The fact that not one representative of the Government have came out and provided any kind of update for the Leicester people, is abysmal. We are relying on hearsay and social media rumours to find out when our lives and business after 20 weeks of lockdown, can start getting back to normal. This would never happen if it was London.
The Syrup Posted 30 July 2020 Posted 30 July 2020 You'd think they would include local government in this meeting. Definitely something stinks about this whole local lockdown, whatever you think about Soulsby
