Now Michael Gove says scotch eggs ARE a 'substantial meal' and CAN be served with alcohol as Tier Two pubs roll out special Boris-themed £1.99 'main meal' menus to lure post-lockdown drinkers with just ONE day to go until lockdown ends

Boris Johnson announces every 'wet pub' forced to close under new tier restrictions will get a £1,000 grant in December as hospitality chiefs blast it is nowhere near enough to tackle the 'financial armageddon' facing many firms..

Ah its taken them 2 days to work that out lol .This is absolute quality and they are running the country .Yes its actually true .COVID-19: What is a substantial meal? No 10 overrules food minister as pubs brace for tier changeGeorge Eustice says a scotch egg "probably would count", but the PM's spokesman insists "bar snacks do not count".By Amy Coles, news reporter  Tuesday 1 December 2020 09:52, The prime minister acknowledged the coronavirus restrictions would cause a "great deal of heartache and frustration" for the sector, but they also seem to have bred confusion.What counts as a substantial meal?The government's advice is rather vague and open to interpretation.According to its COVID-19 winter plan: "Venues that serve alcohol can only remain open where they operate as if they were a restaurant, which means serving substantial meals (and accompanying drinks)."The guidelines define "substantial meals" as "a full breakfast, main lunchtime or evening meal".Communities Secretary Robert Jenrick also previously defined it as one "you would expect to have as a midday meal or an evening meal" - and appeared to rule out traditional pub snacks like a packet of crisps or a side of fries.??What tier am I in? Find out the rules in your areaHe suggested a Cornish pasty on its own would not constitute a substantial meal, unless it came on a plate, to a table, with a side of chips or salad.He told LBC in October: "It would be like a main course, rather than, say, a packet of crisps or a plate of chips."Minister George Eustice, whose cabinet brief includes the environment and food, later said on LBC: "I think a scotch egg probably would count as a substantial meal if there were table service, and often that might be as a starter."But he was overruled by Mr Johnson's spokesman, who declared: "Bar snacks do not count as a substantial meal... It's well-established in the hospitality industry what does."Under the old tiered system, guidance stated that "a table meal is a meal eaten by a person seated at a table, or at a counter or other structure which serves the purposes of a table".However, the Local Government Association (LGA) said this was "open to interpretation" and there was "a degree of flexibility".The LGA added: "It would be difficult to argue that a single sausage roll or a snack pork pie constitutes a main meal, whereas if it was served plated with accompaniments such as vegetables, salad, potatoes it could be considered substantial."

I wouldn't be putting the vaccine in this guys jab lol .

[johnwise] 01/12/2020 06:54

So the hospitality industry which is apparently on its knees is going to get back on its feet by turning customers away?? OK

After only three-months worth of data on vaccine's

No jab? You're barred! Bars, restaurants, cinemas and sports venues could turn away anyone who hasn't had a Covid-19 vaccine, minister warns

[luderitz] 30/11/2020 22:20

May, could, might, probably, looking at blah blah blah, the same old pony from the Con artists.

[gozzie2] 30/11/2020 21:45

Forcing people to lockdown and paying them proper compensation. Now there's a bad idea.

[luderitz] 30/11/2020 21:27

Starmer is mearly part of the legal mafia just like Blair was so no surprise to hear that he recommends abstaining.

[johnwise] 30/11/2020 21:26

We are not going to make the vaccine mandatory but if you choose not to be injected we are going to stop you from doing just about everything in life until you cave in and get the vaccine, threatening people that their lives can never return to normal unless they accept the vaccine is a step too far..


UK's Covid vaccine minister suggests bars, cinemas and football stadiums could BAN Brits who haven't had jab as he admits No10 is looking at 'immunity passports'

We note that Kier Starmer has ordered the Labour MPs to abstain
from tomorrow's vote on the lockdowns .

You can imagine the comments on the internet .

My favourite so far is...

"It must be difficult , sitting on the fence - facing both ways
while taking the kneel" .

Well it made me chuckle anyway !
