Take it up with the BBC...

He's been rattled by the Partridge comparisons and he's going full Harvey Yevrah instead.
I had no idea that she was a communist, but her answer is incredible.
As is "a disgraceful way to treat a scientist" These people are beyond reproach.
I might wheel out 'a disgraceful way to treat a salesman' soon in the hope my customers might shut up.
Professors are always full of shit.
Good to see Dr Z on the case though.
These questions are fucking scandalous. Absolute fear-mongering of the highest order.
The left (and it is the left) position on this seems to be an indefinite commitment to making the perfect the enemy of the good. Where have I seen them do that before.
For once we should follow America in this. You vaccinate, then you open up. Whatever happens after that just happens. You can encourage things without legislating them. It is not 'mixed messages' to do that.
Yep. All she had to do was say 'Yes, Richard." and that'd be that.
But would he do that to a man?!?!?!?!?
Left wing/doctor Twitter is insufferable at the moment. Zero recognition of the vaccine in all the hysteria. If you're that much at risk, or that worried, maybe you can't go to a bar ever again (or more likely, you'll go back to how you used to behave).
As for the masks, I'm keeping mine. Sometimes emptying the hoover kills my lungs for a day. And it'll come in handy if I ever travel to somewhere that's on fire.
I'll probably not bother because we're 18 months in and I still routinely have to double back home because I've forgotten my mask. It has been quite nice never having a cold though. I can see why you'd never want to interact with public transport ick ever again.
I can just about understand the people who want to wait until everybody is vaccinated, but a lot of it is people worrying about people who have been. WHAT ABOUT MY PARENTS THEY ARE ELDERLY AND... Oh well we'll just wear masks forever.
The amount of people who have gone from trust the science to 'Im not getting vaccinated' in my life is so depressing.
Oooh, BBC News wheeling in a dying whale to warn of the consequences again, nice novelty to it after a month or 2 off.
If you feel yourself going soft in the coming weeks, just remember every man, woman and child has had flus twice as worse as COVID and not even blinked at the risk of passing it to loved ones. You've been psychologically brainwashed and abused and it's a long road back to normal but we can do it.
We can only get better at dealing with this, too. Vaccines will get better. Treatments will get better. With each passing wave, natural immunity gets better. Probably.
Well, the SCIENCE seems to be ignoring vaccine efficacy, so I can sort of see how that's happened.
I wholeheartedly welcome the lifting of restrictions. I cannot press the pause button on my life anymore. The zero covid animals and doctor Twitter can go fuck themselves.
90s alternative comedy twitter (the worst twitter) is in full on I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS GOVERNMENT mode, so I'm more convinced than ever that they're doing the right thing.
Nonce.
They don't even wear masks outside court.
The more I read on this, the more fully culture war it has gone. One side incandescent with indignation and frustration about the idea that the government will allow its citizens to be within 1m of each other in public places, just as a few months back it was the other side screaming with rage about the idea of putting some cloth over your face for 5 minutes in a shop. No one is unsure, it's a case of picking your side, good or evil, and that's you done.
We've all gone fully mental, I'm telling you.
More karma for me being a smug dickhead last year the covid test I took yesterday can take up to 72 hours for a result to get back to me. Wasn't expecting 3 days of isolation.
The Bondi Beach cluster is up to 255 people.

No flights to Australia for the rest of the year and then some (3000 people allowed in a week) is absolutely mental.
The horse has bolted over there now. Absolutely mental letting it do so now, but here we are.
Fortress Australia.
My daughter is still going to school in Southend until there's a space at her new school. This has been annoying, but I have been cheered this morning by the 2 protests I drove past to get her there. One outside a Private School calling for PPE for all children and the other outside the hospital calling for PPE for everyone and everything as far as I could tell.
Heads have gone part 343,144.
Arguing the toss about some short term working conditions around engineering that means staff might have to be in a small staff room at the same time, being told that this will contravene social distancing rules despite not happening until the first week in August
I got an email about a "drive through firework display" for Guy Fawkes Night the other day. We're never going to see the back of this shit.
Shut up with this shit.
Given their stance for the last 15 months, Im not sure how this one got through.
Why it's time to think differently about Covid https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-57678942
The most balanced and sensible piece Ive seen on the beeb for as long as I can remember.
They're a state broadcaster. Now the doors are being opened, they have to tell it to the masses.
I mean, their headline is "COVID cases could rise to 100,000 a day", so let's not get the bunting out just yet.
Only the two mentions for SCIENCE.
If you care to point me to where what I'm saying isn't true we can engage.
People can't get their heads around the idea of 'play it safe', and 'ban everyone from doing most things for extended periods' not being the same thing anymore.
I guess it'll take a non-disaster in the next few weeks to shut them up, but even then it'll be long covid or some other shit, these people need to be angry and they don't really care why.
When you say 'these people', who are we talking about?
Listen, I've let you get on with your 'I jUsT gOt My SeConD jAb, HoPe It DoEsN't WiPe Me OuT lOl' vaccine update meltiness for some weeks now, the least you could do is afford me the same rights.
100K cases a day projected for July
Dying whales, public sector employees, social outcasts.
2/3 for Don.
Everyone who is currently shitting the bed about the impending reopening.
