Fortunately the good Lord intervened and the tie got reversed so they ended up coming to us, which I feel is the way it should be, in the same way that peasants used to have to visit the home of their liege lord to appeal for alms or whatever was barely keeping them alive in those days.

    The general seethe and proclamations from the zero-COVID lot/people who hate pubs brigade is going to be biblical.

    Agree on the rubbish btw, utterly unacceptable. But then, if this whole process has taught us anything, it's that people are the virus and we need to get our R below 1.

    The tribalism associated with Brexit or political affiliation is going to look small time as fuck in comparison to the No COVID vs Open the Brothels war that's brewing. People just love perceived moral superiority.

    Wouldn't even matter if there wasn't. The latter (if we're grouping them like that) will hold more and more power at every loosening and all of it come mid-June.

    I hate nightclubs and always have, but I'll be going to one, because I can.

    The facebook comment sections regarding the easing of restrictions are predictably polarised, so many broken brains coming out the other end of this.

    This is probably the part of the Aussie approach that gets a bit pissy. They've prevented it really taking off but now they have to keep pumping the brakes until everyone is jabbed. And probably beyond.

    Actually, compared to the year we've had, that's a lot easier to stomach. All their 3-day lockdowns probably won't add up to our six months +. And y'know, all the alive Australians compared to our dead Brits.

    Just on my team meeting and our resident ZeroCovid muppet started whining about there being loads of people down the beach yesterday. I was surprised by the fairly firm pushback from the rest of the team, including her former ally saying that "we can't stay indoors forever".

    The tide is turning, lads.

    People are just done now. Team panic are largely vaccinated now and the rest of us are seemingly happy to take the risk of infection on the chin.

    We really are at the stage where the choice should be given back to people. If you want to attend a mass orchestra, have at it, if you want to carry on hiding behind the sofa, feel free.

    Enough of this bollocks.

    It is great watching Indy Sage tweets now, like the cellists on the Titanic sticking to the same tune even as the room fills up with water. They even got one of them on Sky News earlier for a Custer's Last Stand style takefest. 'There are really 8,000 cases a day!', he says.

    Deepti, after a slew of tweets making the same denial, has happily moved on to other topics:

    If one claims institutional racism doesn't exist, how does one explain observable gaps at all levels - representation of ethnic minorities in senior positions, educational opportunities, attainment, health outcomes?
    (rhetorical question)

    Denying institutional racism is racist.

    You should release a beard care range.

    It's easy enough. Buy some baby oil, chuck some Sandlewood scented aftershave in it, £5 per 50ml.

    I'll be the before photo.

    We should be at a point where all outdoor activities are allowed, including pub gardens, but idiots who're incapable of reacting to information/changing their opinion in light of new information have put paid to all of that, so on the interminable roadmap we stay.

    We should maintain social distancing and masks but everything should be open as far as I'm concerned.

    I can see why the government are sticking to their timetable since they're also saying this is it now, no more lockdowns (could also shut the borders like lads but let's not expect miracles). The nonces walking in masks who turned away from me when I passed them earlier are just write-offs.

    The timetable isn't bad from here on, imo. Lots of things will be open 11 days from now, and every day of vaccination is another day closer to not having to bother after that. It's just March which should have had more outdoor stuff open.

    Borders are neither here nor there.

    I'd sort of rather (as the roadmap implies) that social distancing has a clear cut off point and everything else is unwound before that. If not, I'm sure the next clamour from the zero-COVID lot (once they've finished moaning about pubs being open) will be that we keep wearing masks and stay 2m apart for eternity.

    Which I'd take this minute to get back into a pub, but I won't be so ready to when I've been back in a pub for weeks and we're still having to maintain that facade.

    I would just do that around the data though. You could bin masks and distancing at 75% of the population vaccinated or whatever.

    Open the saunas!!

    Unfortunately, I think half the population of Wales are irreversibly damaged mentally from all this.

    Seen my first double masker today aswell in the middle of a park, then pulling the masks down to take a drag on a cigarette and swig from a can of pop. 🤦

    I've noticed a lot of younger people walking about with their masks on, and if you see an illegally large (lol) group of them half of them tend to be masked up. I'd like to think their parents are making them wear them, like when only one of my friends used to have to wear a bike helmet like a loser.
