It has also been pointed out that the G7 beach BBQ was at a licensed venue therefore they should have been sitting down to eat and drink, they should also have been wearing masks when not sitting.

If they’re not following all these ridiculous rules surrounding masks then why the fuck should anyone else?

It’s maddening. Got my vaccine booked on Friday and I’m starting to wonder if there’s even any point if getting jabbed doesn’t seem to be the answer.

Me? Tublet nooo I am an optimist for life. I’m almost offended 🤣🤣 I actually thought it would until all this Indian variant bollocks happened and pissed on my parade. but also I didn’t book anything so I can’t have been that confident 😂

Sadly no gloating for me 🥲


basically I have no bloody clue and nor does anyone else really because viruses are unpredictable so I think that’s the moral of the story here kids ✌🏻 don’t hope for anything 😂

I distinctly remember when they announced road map and June 21st many of us were sceptical.
I'm more a pessimist and my trust in government ability to do something right is at all all time low.
Once saw Indian varient has taken off.
I thought no they will go ahead with may 17th which they did and maybe they shouldn't have then June was jeopardised.
Writing was on wall weeks ago.
I'm a realist and we getting more info on new varient we dident have 2montbs ago.

I don't want to be in lockdown forever.
But we know from autumn unless we hit breaks earlier then the outcome be another severe lockdown.
Out income is non essential retail we can't afford another lockdown closure.
Husband got furlough lock down 1 but lockdown 2 and 3 reduced pay tele sales .
So yes I can forgo not wearing a mask,going abroad or to gigs so we can earn money to live and kids can attend school.

Im assuming everyone at the G7 will have had tests prior to travelling, and will have also been fully vaccinated. Surely this isn’t rocket science?

I test twice weekly and have been double jabbed since March. I’m still not allowed any visitors in my home aside from my “bubble” (regardless of their status too), can’t stand up in a restaurant without a mask on and certainly not allowed to hug anyone. So yes it’s very frustrating when those measures are seen as sufficient for some people and not the general public. We need to be allowed to make our own judgements.

This year‘s ‘is it covid or hayfever’ just levelled up significantly…

We also have COVID arm.. it used to be called SIRVA. That is a well-known and quite common vaccine injury caused by the needle going in the wrong place. But let's call it COVID something and make it scary and new

Wish people would STFU about people wanting everything to open just to party. Some of us have people in nursing homes and haven't been able to hug them in 15mths!!! visits are behind a huge screen and if that person has dementia you cannot communicate with them like that you need contact and good eye contact.

Until this pandemic I had never heard the expression 'vaccine injury' (presumably it was US-originated?) and because of the word-association it just makes me think of clumsy jab incidents, and legal claims because it was an accident that wasn't my fault, wrong kind of ladder needle etc...

I gave up on masks on Saturday. I no longer see any need to comply when our leaders have no intention of doing so. I'm not wearing any ridiculous exemption card or otherwise as that also suggests compliance.

I went into about 7 shops and didn't get a single comment or a dirty look. The only person who talked to me on a door asked me to sanitise my hands on entry and I just answered with a cheery "No, thank you".

I note that quite a few are now happy to enable Boris in his quest to destroy the UK by repeating the "We're almost back to normal already" myth, often citing packed pubs and restaurants.

They neglect to realise that the packed pub or restaurant is almost certainly running at a loss due to the table service rubbish and they will be slowly be going out of business. Long term, that will mean either prices will have to start rising substantially or your favourite places will shut for good.

People need to stand up and fight these restrictions because they will not end if we don't.

I want to also do the same (been double jabbed, take two lateral flow tests a week). But I’m actually terrified I’ll be fined/police called. 😥

Are you fucking kidding me? I have a head cold right now with some of those symptoms. My daughter gets hay fever and also has those exact symptoms. No I’m not going to pull her out of school every week to test her nor will I test myself for a cold. Just a joke at this point. Let us get on with life. Why are we not this scared of flu and it’s many variants?

10 million extra jabs in a month delay? Is that all? Between first and second jabs they usually crack half a million a day so another month at the same rate they should be doing around 15 million jabs.
 
They’re urging people with tonsillitis type symptoms to take a covid test the old symptoms are rare with the new variant.

The percentage of people who have died with the Indian variant who were fully vaccinated isn't important. The important percentage is the amount of millions fully vaccinated around the world who haven't died from the Indian variant either by beating it or not getting it in the first place.

Brown is right. One billion doses between the rich seven countries is nothing. USA are giving 500 million and us 100 million yet France which is a bigger population are only giving 60 million (dunno the rest). Huge factories should be opening around the world especially in Africa so they can produce their own vaccines very quickly.

I’m not really sure what everyone is moaning about with this possible extension. The pathetic “I’m done” hashtag on Twitter is embarrassing. You can pretty much do most things now shopping eating out seeing friends and family??

Spare a thought for people who are at their wits end and their livelihoods wrecked. A lot of industries won’t recover from this.

Depends what you work in - for events, hospitality etc it’s an absolute mess.

I don’t think it’s embarrassing, we aren’t all in the same boat

For me it is the mainly about businesses.

Nightclub owners, people who work gigs (lighting, sound etc), hotels, pubs with table service only when for the euros they would normally be standing room only, and theatres that are operating at max 50% these are just a few people who will potentially never recover if they can't reopen next week
