Isn't she a big young to be doing that.

Christ almighty.
Beauty salons (the only one in the list which requires person-to-person contact) being at the bottom of that list confirms all my Facebook Mum theories. Bring back the patriarchy.The places Britons think *should* require a vaccine passport:
Care homes - 72%
Gyms - 56%
Pubs and bars - 56%
Cinemas - 55%
Restaurants - 53%
Beauty salons - 50%
Bit odd that I'd need a passport to see my Gran when they're not making the workers get vaccinated in the first place...
If there's one thing I've learned from this pandemic it's that in the eyes of the state, GDP > love.
It took a pandemic to make you realise that?
They don't usually legislate on it.
Debatable. The benefit system often punishes being in a relationship (a couple get less than 2 single people) and seems to want children punted out onto the streets the day they turn 18. Disability / Carers benefits are another laugh.
Making people choose between those they love and having more money seems to be the key priority of the benefits system, now that I think of it.
2 single people would have more fixed costs, wouldn't they? As they can't share a bedroom etc.
We do have a weird aversion to the concept of the extended family though. Probably yet another attempt to drive up housing demand.

Quite possibly, but it goes far deeper than that. For example, a 'mixed age couple' are completely fucked when it comes to claiming pension credits until the younger of the two reaches pension age. So basically, Ted needs to kick Brenda to the curb if he wants to eat this month.
The whole system is full of bollocks like that.
Isn't measuring anything like that by 'household' rather than by individual pretty Victorian? Saves them money though I guess so there you are.
0 deaths in Wales reported today, and you still can't buy socks in Tesco there.
Them, like Scotland, have went for the hardline 'make the Tories look stupid' approach which, hilariously, is backfiring with their independence ambitions.
They do appear to have overlooked the mildly obvious "taking away more freedoms than the Tories would have is not a good look" angle.
There's a lot of developmental stuff from interacting with peers etc. which is important too.Originally Posted by Spikey M
I know I've already said it, but I really don't understand all the furore around whether or not care/healthcare workers can be mandated to be vaccinated given they already are mandated to have other vaccines.
She's only actually been off since December. Other than that she's been going in on the KeyWorker card. We've kept her off since then because we kept getting text messages saying she had to isolate.
Regardless of that though, she has from now until July in school and then will be busy over the summer having fun and seeing family and friends. An extra three weeks at school offers nothing compared to that.
I don't either. There are loads of jobs that are subject to conditions which aren't universally present, so I've no idea how this isn't being seen in the same light as those.
I don't think we should be forcing the general public to have the vaccine, but if you work in an environment where the people you look after a sitting ducks for catching and dying from it (probably even to some degree after they themselves have been vaccinated), then you should absolutely be made to have it or look for alternative employment.
I think the only reason the jabs wouldn't have been mandated out of how new the jab (and the virus, for that matter) is. There's also the possibility some people working in healthcare had a prior infection and thought they can leave the vaccine for a few months.
As for the residents, the majority of them have taken the offer up so there's a potential safety net on that end.
Our man Hugo De Jonge (Health Minister) reckons everyone will have had "a" vaccine at least by July 1st. They're going to have to extract a digit if they want to get up to that pace though.
George Clooney and Julia Roberts have jumped the line to film a movie in South East Queensland. Im sure them both spending quarantine in the Gold Coast Hinterland will go down well.
You didn't have to drop that in there, Olli(e)."The announcement [about lockdown ending] has piled on quite a lot of pressure, especially for me being in the LGBT community," he says.
Neurotic.He thinks there's a pressure within the community to come out of the pandemic looking physically good.
"It brings up issues of 'do I look good enough?' or 'will my friends want to see me?' and whether I've achieved enough during lockdown.

I don't think an article has ever made me feel like more of a sneering old man. Full to the brim with triggers.
"Oli is worried about going back to busy social spaces like nightclubs"
Well, have I got a solution for you.
But, they're atleast trying to help Magic;
"Focus your energy in being interested in the other person, showing empathy and kindness towards them rather than being stuck inside your own anxious mind"

Surprised the bird didn't mention the difficulties of being BLM.
There's the irony of lockdown.
I love stuff like that. They may as well have just written "don't be anxious". Err, cheers lads.
'Chris Whitty warns of potential new surge'
That could have been the daily headline for the last 12 months.
There will be a surge. Hospital rates will pick up a little bit. Maybe even deaths a tad, but a third of all adults are now vaccinated and by and large it's the most vulnerable ones. It won't really matter.
Olli and Taz need to get back to the clubs.
I'm with Whitty, we absolutely must guard against a surge of fun, in all its forms. We've spent too long in lockdown to ruin that by ending it now.
Desperate to stay relevant. Desperate.
The knots in which people are tying themselves in to criticise the government over their current approach, when there is no justifiable criticism to made, are absolutely fantastic.
Zero covid is about politics, just like the Steve Baker end of things is also about politics. Not even a global pandemic is safe from being just another battleground in the culture war.
I think Whitty has been pretty good throughout. His communication is really good, better than any politician (especially that one). Him and JVT can have a beer each at the end. Vallance can swerve.
You could see the lights go off half way through that as she realised she was making absolutely no sense.
I've seen a few different lol videos of Dawn Butler now and every time she comes across as completely thick as shit.
We did 1.5 million tests yesterday (with the school kids coming back). Less than 6,000 positive.
Open the fucking clubs.
1.5million sad, desperate, weak minded and extremely paranoid people wishing they could continue to lock us down.
You need to see a doctor.
Are you mental? Some people get tested because they have to.
The first sentence of your post was a rhetorical question, right?
He's beyond help.
Maybe he means a plastic surgeon.
Some geezer at my wife's work has to isolate because he was going to power wash his front drive on sunday and knocked on his next door neighbours to suggest they move their car out of the way, only for the daft bitch to open the door to him and proclaim 'I have covid!'. Laddo has to burn 10 days holiday now
He has to use holiday to isolate? That's mental.
Not as mental as just keeping quiet about it considering the tiny risk, but, yeah.
Yeah a lot of places have been doing it. Once some fella at her spot had a suspected heart attack and had to go to hospital in an ambulance, they docked him half a day.
Welcome to the world of work, Jeremy.
I wouldn't isolate in that situation.
MJ gets mocked by the normie brigade for suggesting people are overreacting yet that comes out 6 posts down and I bet there's a good few going "Hmmm seems a little cautious but yeah, fair. Gemma, what's for tea tonight? So excited for our 2 remaining episodes of Line of Duty before the new season is out. I love you."
Get the fuck out of here, you cretins.
Even the official rules don't say he should be isolating.
