Watch it become written in to law. The general public will be so fed up by the end of April they'll be begging for this just to get some 'freedom' back.Originally Posted by Jimmy Floyd
It's perfect.
I don't know why they're even discussing it, unless they are now completely given over to government by kite-flying. They seem to be in a bizarre bind between 'never open up again' doctor loonies on one side, and OPEN EVERYTHING NOW types on the other. Just plot a path between them, you numpties, and gradually open up, just like you did last year.
If they start letting the vaccinated mob crack on and try to keep the rest of us out like lepers I will never follow a single one of their rules again.
Lol when you're still shame isolating in August.
Have you only just noticed the kite flying thing?
They're a menace of a government.
Government by leaked policy has been going on for what seems like years, it must predate covid, probably most of us as well.
Is this pretty much what a Nick Clegg government would have been? Except each decision would have involved an official superspreading vote to be arrived at?
It's absolutely going to play out this way. 'We've' spent a year of our lives indoors and those that have been vaccinated (whether they've done the same or not) will be the ones going on holiday and generally enjoying life again first.
Not that I'm suggesting there's another way, but that's exactly how it will go from here.
They may think it will, but it won't. There is no way In a million years they are going to get away with sending Team Furlough back to work in the pubs, restaurants, hairdressers and Bingo Halls so Deirdre and Brenda can have a day out and a blue rinse. Only to tell Freddie and Jess that they need to return home immediately after their shift because it's too dangerous for them to go for a drink.
The riots would make Black Lives Matter look like a mild debate and rightfully so.
The correct way out of this is slowly and carefully ala Jimmy's post.
They'll get the numbers down as low as they can, send the kids back and then wean society back into existence.
You honestly think you'll be going abroad (without a monumental amount of hassle) before Deirdre can?
I don't think anyone will be going on a holiday this year.
They'll let the vaccinated boomers go abroad.
Yev's right - the boomers have rinsed us for everything we've got all their lives, they're not going to stop now.
Edit: snap on the issue where Boydy and I live in peaceful harmony.
If they're as worried about variants as they claim to be then I seriously doubt that, but whatever, mine is cancelled already so I'm not massively fussed about that. It's this 'theatre and nightclub' mutterings I'm talking about.
Let them go abroad on their P&O plague boats.
I think holidays are going to happen but it'll be such a hastle that most won't bother. Plus it'll be to places with people and venue restrictions sucking all fun out of it. Portuguese PM said he hopes the beaches will be open in the summer so surely they can't deprive the masses of surf and sand?
Aye, that's the thing that puts me off. You can wind up in a destination that's shuttered or stuffed in a hotel quarantine for the duration of your stay. Paying for the privilege, too.
'...and that is why our plan to introduce a one-off "Pensioner Bonus" of ten thousand pounds, to be paid for by a doubling of National Insurance contributions, is fair as well as...'
I'm convinced that within 15 years they'll manage to bring in some sort of inheritance tax that sends all the moolah to the pearly gates.
Increasing the inheritance tax threshold as a progressive, redistributive measure.
'Mr Speaker the coalition government wants to see wealth trickle down the generations...'

So many questions.
As always, buy-to-let landlords are the real victims in all this.
Some Dutch court has decided that a curfew is illegal as "it's not like sticking your finger in a a dyke". Mate, come on
I give up. Ban all frozen food
Told you.
Ditto.
It's going to happen and just reiterates one of society's great failings - if you play by the rules (as I have for most of my life, if not all) you get screwed.
Youngest daughter (4) has been lethargic today, started coughing, and now has a temperature, a rash/swelling and is struggling somewhat to breathe, so here we go.
I think if she has covid (having basically not left the house for 3 weeks) then we might have to give up with the whole lockdown thing and just accept the cold embrace of whatever infinitesimally small risk of death there is.
In all likelihood it's probably some sort of allergic reaction to christ knows what.
Manky week-old curry.
The worst pub in town has fixed (not painted) this to the wall. As far as I'm aware he never drank in there, so I might complain to the council.
All those kids with compromised immune systems now due to being kept cruelly in the house by paranoid parents.
Forget that. Atleast there's some grounds for the concern. Our neighbour has been homeschooling the kids since September. Not out of civic duty or to protect someone in the household but because she is legitimately worried about the kids catching it and dying.
She didn't do the same when there was a measles outbreak in town a couple of years back, mind, so you could be excused for mistaking her for a retard.
News coming out now that Nervtag (which always sounds gloriously Soviet to me) will be using an ALGORITHM to prioritise the vaccination order in the under 65s, so I guess it's good to know that Bradley Wiggins and the Liverpool squad will be jabbed up nice and early.
It probably would have hospitalised her if she'd had any.
I would actually be on board with this and it would atleast make vaccine passports a bit fairer than just "lol you're 20 see you in 5 years".
Edit: assuming the "algorithm" isn't just an Excel spreadsheet filtered by age, that is. Which it will be.
Seems we only have another 16,384 people to vaccinate and then we're done . . .
"Why does everyone's surname start with an A?"
Loving these FLARED TEMPERS at vaccination centres.
I was going to say, the Aardvark brothers will be shocked when all nine of them are called up at 8.00am on the first day.
Meanwhile in Zero Covid Australia:
Confirmation that we have indeed began working on people in their 60's.Loving these FLARED TEMPERS at vaccination centres.
Presumably the garbage bag could be requested by the wearer to preserve anonymity.
I can think of a few alternatives.
Meanwhile, all of our hotel quarantine coverage is about how unfair it is to the people quarantined.
I clocked this last night with the article upthread. Surely 10 day stays in hotels is in keeping with the Beeb's STAY AT HOME AND SHUT IT DOWN NOW rhetoric, so is good, right? Or do they not know where to turn as forrins are involved and their wellbeing beats COVID prevention in the most depressing game of Top Trumps you're ever likely to play?
Everyone has completely reversed their previous open/closed borders opinions in the last six months, because reasons, so trying to rationalise hotel quarantine is well beyond them.
Turdgeon saying no changes until well in to march, the hideous cunt.
