Not that most would care about the violence and self-harm apart from those who work in those environments. Another few crucial summer months lost for wedding venues, hospitality, nightclubs, pubs wanting a big football crowd in etc etc. The economy needs this summer. Then add in cinemas and theatres that are hanging on. I just haven't got the time for people who think people only moan because they want to go on holiday. Pretty clear where the real selfishness lies now and has been for a while ,, usually the the give away is they churn out the all in it together garbage as if they believe it and think everybody is stupid enough to believe it???

I'm as hacked off about having to wear face masks, not being able to see my family all at one time, and not being able to nip out for a bite to eat without booking 3 days in advance as anybody else, but I'd gladly take another 4 weeks of doing so if it meant we stood a better chance of not having to do it again in 4 months time... Ahhhhh , I see , you’ve fallen for the please punch me now sir so you don’t have to punch and kick me later and thanks very much indeed for punching me i know you only keeping me safe ??♂️, end lockdowns NOW and never allow them to be used again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G STAR RAM Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 4 hours ago, BucksRam said: I guess the fact that currently an average of 170,000 people a day are getting their first jab and 300,000 their second so in four weeks another 4.5 million will have had one jab, and over 8 million their second if the rate continues. So if the number of vaccinations is now the crucial figure, what numbers do we have to reach before we can lift restrictions. In 4 weeks time there is still the option there for them to say not everybody is vaccinated yet, so we will give it just a few more weeks. They won't commit to anything or give figures because that way they can continue to move the goalposts unchallenged. If this is going to be voted on by Parliament it should be done first thing tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

If you watch that video with the "bottles it" title, you might be surprised to see Andrew Neil basically agreeing that extending restrictions is the right thing to do. You might have well been watching him say exactly the same thing on the bbc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't seem strange at all. He's an incompetent liar who has made loads of terrible decisions over Covid, like the delay over India travellers which has caused this latest delay. As for this latest action, another 4 weeks seems a reasonable decision to help vaccinate as many people as possible. The current restrictions aren't too bad, provided the businesses and people impacted financially are supported. It still makes me chuckle though of Johnson doing some sort of data analysis.

Rev Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Is it just me who wishes the ancient Greeks had the foresight to name D as Delhi, rather than Delta? I bet we'd have skipped to E, if that was the case. Mostyn6 and i-Ram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B4ev6is Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 I know that they delayed releasing anymore restrictions but surely got to tell football clubs that they can start selling season tickets again as each week goes by the new season gets even closer.

i-Ram Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Can’t see season tickets going on sale until at least Zeta, Eta and Theta variants have come and gone. And be aware that one single case of the next variant mutation will put matters on further hold. Not that many will worry one Iota. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkFruitsRam7 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Though my political views typically align more closely with the ‘lefties’ on here, I have to say those on the opposite side of the debate have been a hell of a lot more reasonable in how they approach discussions in this thread. In recent days at least. maxjam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
