Bald Eagle's Barmy Army

So as a young lad playing football... you had your dad's name on the back of your shirt, had your dad's hair cut and would try replicate all things your dad would do? 
It's got nothing to do with parents shirking responsibility. Kids will always look up to other people in areas that interest them such as football. I'm not saying all footballers HAVE to be role models because they don't... It's not in their job description. It's just from a personal perspective I'd like my club to have players that young people can look up to... rather than those who don't abide by the law. (I'd put something a bit more blunt here but I know how delicate you admins can be about words that are seen as negative to players albeit even if they are 100% factually accurate). 

Firstly, because he has made his own informed decision.  
Secondly, we are all fit and healthy in our house.
Thirdly, our kids are in an age group where the risk to their health is tiny. 
Finally, I would prefer to wait for data on any long term effects before we start vaccinating the entire population.  

No argument , just a different view , skip past it and save your boredom , stick with posts giving made up numbers as facts ,, and remember STAY HOME

Maybe this is selfish, but I genuinely can't see a reason to get vaccinated without the guarantee of life without restrictions. Why would I take an incredibly low but higher risk of both illness and death from a vaccine, than just putting up with the covid itself if life isn't as normal any way? I don't really fancy a day of being poorly if I'm not going to be able to live life normally anyway. 

Yes this is my fear too. 
The amount of people saying 'its only another month' is scary.
We had restrictions imposed a whole 15 months ago now and were told it was '2 weeks to flatten the curve'. We have not had our freedoms back since then.
 

For me it’s not just about what the restrictions are now, the more depressing thing is the constant threat that the gov can ,will and do change our lives at the drop of a hat and based on data that they decide the meaning of , models from modellers constantly looking for the worst case scenario to scare everyone and always turning out massively wrong 🤷🏻‍♂️

We'll probably deliver another 8-10m vaccines between now and July 19th as well 🙂
I'm not sure what the restrictions are anymore, other than going to the football I don't think life is any different for me now, but whatever they are I'm going to rebel against them if there is another extension.  Enough's enough now.
 

Same here. Lots of the "motivationally challenged" are very concerned about all the latest covid developments with regards to their workplace, but a quick glance at their facebook page reveals no such paranoia in their personal time. I wish I could say it was a shock, but I could've hand picked the people who would behave this way.

I know a few people that act differently from when they are at work to when they are out drinking socially. 
 
Double standards have been applied to many things Covid related.

exactly the same with me and my family, we won’t be following any further advice from July 19th. 

yep me too

I’ve had enough now. July finish or I ignore it. We are frightened of our own shadows now.. 

Got to love the switching of what is the vital figure to report haven't you.
Infections
Hospitalizations 
Excess deaths
The R number
Just choose the worst one on esch given day.
Just like Hancock in Parliament today, reporting that hospitalizations are up 48% on last week (up to a grand total of 177 people), no mention of the 20% drop in the last 3 days though!
 

Just 3 weeks to flatten the curve,
Just lockdown to save Xmas,
Just tier 4 to save New Year,
Just until the vulnerable are jabbed,
Just stay home until Easter,
Just wait for June 21st
Just four more weeks………..yeah sure 

Chief NHS guy just said 1% of hospital beds are taken up by COVID  - let that sink in.
Lockdowns and restrictions were to protect the NHS and the most vulnerable.
We've had freedom day for the 21st June, now it's terminus day for the 19th July, I can't wait to see what they label the 16th August.

Err, no it’s not. It’s businesses like mine that trade heavily in the hospitality and leisure industry and had zero support. 
 
Boris isn’t showing some balls, he’s showing what a contradictive 🍆 he is.

And maybe the millions who's income has been a minimum of 20% down for most of the past year...

For the past 4 weeks the media have scaremongered us all into getting what they want, a further 4 weeks delay. They've dragged so called scientists from under every rock they could find to keep telling us how important it is to not lift all restrictions.
Now they've got their way, they are talking to ministers who dont want to keep restrictions going - why they didn't talk to these people in the last 4 weeks tells you everything you need to know what the agenda is. 
I'll give it another 2 weeks and we'll be listening from Dr Lockdown from the university of restrictions telling us we must keep restrictions going until at least April 2022 when we've been able to vaccinate our pet dog. 

But the group you are taking about are the ones on the whole that aren’t detrimentally effected by the effects of Covid so what difference does it make. 99% of those we were protecting are now protected. Are we saying we now need as close to zero infections as possible? I can’t keep up with the moving goalposts.
 

Wow.
Do you actually believe what you are saying here?
I literally know nobody that supports extending lockdown other than the noisy minority on here.
Im from an age group where we have all now had our second jabs, and even my parents who were poo scared before have said its now time to open up.

The same pattern happened last year without a vaccine. 

Why not ask why they’re not being vaccinated? I’m vaccinated, but don’t believe a word they’re saying. Everything we were spoonfed about the vaccine is not true now. What’s the point of the vaccine? It doesn’t work enough. 

For weeks we've been told there's nothing in the data to show that we need to keep restrictions going.
Yes cases have risen but they always would do when hospitality opened indoors but people going into hospital is still flat and below what the models were expecting 3 days before an announcement on the 14th June. 
Any other than lifting restrictions on the 21st June and people will be even further than the end of their tether
