| Quote: King Street Cat "The thought of flying abroad for a fortnight, in the middle of a pandemic, is just madness. We've even cancelled an upcoming three nights away in the Lake District.
Governments the world over are desperate to get back to 'the good old days'. I pretty much wrote 2020 off back in April.'"
Had to cancel one with the grandkids at an Haven park on the east coast which was hard due to not seeing much of them over the last few months but they couldn’t guarantee us doing the basics as a family, but I’m sure we’ll make up for it at some time.

What have you done with your bucket, spade and windmill, I might need to borrow them, thinking’ about having a few days at Scarborough, when all the kids are back at school.

Cut some eye holes into it, then it’ll save me wearing a mask.

| My glass is becoming half empty again, seems we go one step forward, two steps back, don’t know if we’ll see a live game this season.
More cases of coronavirus confirmed in Pinderfields Hospital outbreak
In a statement, the Trust said: "Further to our statement earlier this week, we can confirm 5 patients and 10 staff from Ward 45A (one of our respiratory wards) have now tested positive for Covid-19.
Then this
Nationwide lockdown changes due to take effect tomorrow have been scrapped with hours to spare, Boris Johnson has confirmed.
Plans to reopen bowling alleys, casinos and ice rinks in England from August 1 have been postponed for at least two weeks after cases began to rise in England.
Pilot schemes to restart socially distanced events such as indoor performances and large crowds at sporting events have also been put on hold.

Wonder if this is linked to that local Asylum Seekers Hostel outbreak?

In a statement, the Trust saidfirst time I've been out today went to cannon hall farm for the afternoon and it's been lovely, everyone seemed to respect other people space, they staged entry and queues was minimal.
As for the out break in the hospital it seems like standards must of slipped and it wouldn't surprise me as it seemed normal being in public.
Bowling alleys, casinos and ice rinks all are bit difficult in keep distance from each other and items which swap hands so it's not surprising.

| Saints take a knee ?
I don't know what to say about that but RL clubs are definitely playing with fire with that stuff.
They all ought to think very carefully about what they are seen to be supporting by doing it.
You don't have to go too far in to internetz land to become....informed, its some proper toxic politics that will see some upset.
Sky are saying Saints took the knee for the Black Lives Matter MOVEMENT, so there's no escaping that fall out if it's true, but it is Sky after all.
Actually, I just personally joined some dots there writing that last line....

| Quote: vastman "It’s pathetic sheep like behaviour and I fear we will do just the same. When will people wake up and realise that BLM is well on its way to becoming a terrorist organisation - see Brixton yesterday. Are people really so dim and desperate to virtue signal that they will happily take the knee to an organisation that is now so racist it makes the EDL look mainstream.
If we do this I will lose a great deal of respect for any involved.'"
I saw Brixton yesterday, people marching in paramilitary uniform some with balaclavas, people need to do their research into BLM. Judging by the comments on Facebook, some people have stated they will not buy another season ticket if Wakefield take the knee. BLM is stirring up hatred and division.

I may be one. I can’t stop people doing it but I can withdrawal my financial support.
If the club has anything about it they should encourage players stand arm in arm to signify all lives matter. There I should be nothing special about being black, that after all is the point surely.

Sky is the boss
It might not be as simple as turning the other cheek
I feel a bit dirty for wishing Sky UK was still controlled by Murdoch, but you only have to compare political coverage with Sky Australia to see the yawning chasm that exists between them politically.

| Sybolising anything can be taken over and used by any organisation trying to obtain notoriety.
For me the whole one knee episode should be shelved along with the black lives matter .
Any one with an ounce of sence understands that black lives matter along with all lives.
Just how you eradicate racism and discrimination will have to be worked out by someone with more brain power and influence than i have but im not one of the many who need influencing.
Good luck with that one.

I'm sorry but this is one instance where clubs should stand firm.
The very term BLM is racist in itself and to me it is being driven by vile people, NO kneeling - Full stop.

| I’m fully behind any player at the club who decides to take the knee. I won’t be withdrawing my support.
