The usual rules apply. Non-rugby talk here. Consider this a social place, but like a pub, things like religion and politics can be divisive, so don't say things here you wouldn't say to someone's face in the pub. Sober

fair points aloof..... and i think school closures for a short term lockdown would certainly make sense if they could guarantee that there would be no loss of school time due to it... ie if they pushed the LC out to the start of july.... i think that would be agreeable to a lot of people

theres a double whammy coming down the tracks for LC students of 2021 which i think parents and teachers needs to be mindful as well
theres the disruption to school time cause by the march 2020 lockdown.
theres the unknown re this lockdown and what the future holds... are they going to sit a written exam or get calculated grades

but especially, theres the extra number of students which will be looking for college places in sept 2021
theres the high number who deferred for a year last sept
theres the 2500 number that sat the paper test in november
and theres this years LC students... all vying for a limited number of college places

but at the end of the day of NPHET say that its safe for teachers to teach LC students 3 days a week in specific conditions, then so be it.

That's all pretty fair, tbh syd. Just on the final point tho:

Imagine a few months ago if protestors had tried to storm federal buildings.

There was rubber bullets and tear gas fired at peaceful protesters in the streets, never mind taking over federal buildings and storming past barricades.

If these guys were black and had entered the capitol, they'd all be dead. Let's call a spade a spade.

Am I the only one old enough to remember what "a spade" is? ...and I don't mean a shovel

I'm saying it again.

This will make a supreme Netflix drama - it has it all!

Don Jr is taking the moral high ground now that the crowd he, his father and their cronies have wound up have done what people warned them they would. I'm with Podge. This warrants untold levels of abuse and name calling. F*** the lot of them the f***ing megalomaniac, narcissistic, brain dead, immoral, greedy, pathetic shower of Tuesdays. There isn't a hole deep enough for them to be buried in.

I was ready for this reaction just for the legislative response.

But they all own these actions too. They are inherently related to each other.

**** the absolute lot of them.

Murica....

What a total basketcase

Unbelievable stuff...CNN calling it a coup. Let's be clear Trump incited this and is therefore culpable. Its a coup that isn't going to go very far, but the symbolism of it is incredible.

Biden has one hell of a job on his hands reuniting those very Disunited States of America.

This is absolutely mental.

There is a line in the Chernobyl TV series that I keep coming back to. "Every lie incurs a debt to the truth".

Those debts appear to be coming due. Not just in America either.

That Trump "The election was stolen, but go home" message just there was just mind bogglingly dangerous. But at this stage, not surprising.

Good NEWS CNN calling it for Ossoff

This is mental.

It's been said a million times the last four years but surely, surely there have to be repercussions this time

Thankfully the ****ing Muppet in charge has released a statement reassuring his cult that he loves them and the election was stolen(oh but go home) in an attempt to douse the fire with gasoline.

He's deflected all the attention on to Pence now, saying it's up to Pence not to certify the electoral college results so that they can take back the election as they believe they deserve.

I reckon there’s a chance the republicans will do something like declare Trump unfit and make pence president. Not sure if possible. Can’t see anyone trying to debate overturning the election result. Pence has put Biden and Harris on his Twitter header.
