It seems that a senior politician failing to follow his own advice/rules, to add to the handful of other politicians etc, outweighs what appears to be overwhelming scientific and medical opinion and it’s not a global health crisis after all. All this time (was it last May he got caught?) I could have burned my mask and hugged strangers at will (normal rules on sexual harassment apply). Forget about emails to MP’s about Derby’s battle with the EFL, we should all rise and share this breakthrough with the rest of the world.

That should be enough for things to go back to normal? Do we worry about the 12% who are refusing? There could be legitimate reasons, of course. Do we let them take their chances going forward? I don't personally know anyone who has refused, but I do know two people who suspect they have little immunity despite their two jabs because of serious underlying health conditions. They are both being very, very careful but their lives are seriously restricted. Interesting to know where people's thoughts are, and not just the usual suspects, as we already know those! I do Angie and one of them is one of my sister's! Some people live in a weird world of listening to and then believing the anti Vax nonsense all over some parts of the internet. The rest of us should be looking forwards to cracking on,come the release date in July with the knowledge that we are in a safer place than some and that we have at least done our bit in returning the country to normality by having our vaccinations. angieram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn’t surprise me although with Cummings not being an elected MP there wouldn’t have been an opening for him with that particular vacancy.

Got to say fair play to Javid though for having those principles. I just thought he’d blotted his copybook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sane person should be booking a holiday abroad in the middle of a worldwide pandemic, none of my family or friends are going abroad this year who in the right mind would contemplate making the situation even more intolerable than it already is? I wonder how many people who have bitterly complained about the government’s handling of the pandemic have actually planned holidays abroad this year?

Brothers are 18 and 16 and they'll be having it too when able. Anyone who doesn't want it and is happy taking their chances, fine by me, their choice. I believe in free will. All I hope is that they take personal responsibility, accept they've been silly to ignore medical advice and change their attitude to any future advice if they require hospital treatment. Oh, and accept that they are contributing to extending lockdowns. I'm interested to know how they have contributed to extending lockdown? There was never a magical number of people that had to be vaccinated for restrictions to end, we were originally led to believe this would happen when all of the vulnerable groups had been offered the vaccine. The only people responsible for extending lockdown are SAGE and the Government, nobody else. Bald Eagle's Barmy Army and Archied 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been booked for the last 2 years, then a few days away in Norfolk in September. Although I would like to think that we might be able to go to the Bruges beer festival in February 2022, I think it's more likely that we won't be venturing to Belgium until next August. cstand 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
