Well at least we don't fall into the events with more than 20,000 people catagory. It is going to make getting into a listed event a very slow process.

With the drop in cases and ever increasing vaccination rate it does feel like life is getting back to 'normal' a bit. After the mask compliance initially staying high, I've noticed a growing number of people choosing not to wear them. Guessing a vast number have uninstalled track and trace and trying to get on with life. The economy certainly needs it and I'm sure the end of furlough will signal another wave of unemployment, although there is no shortage of work out there.
They'll undoubtedly be ongoing doom mongering, new variant talk etc, but I'm enjoying some normality. Some time in the future the reporting will become less intense, unless we are going to have a daily league table of total deaths by cause!
It was great to attend an outdoor comedy event in St Albans at the weekend with a couple of thousand people and no restrictions.
Think I'll wait until 2022 for the next trip abroad.

Throughout history the human race has endured countless pandemics and over come the lot, almost all of them without a vaccine. I think we should remember that when looking for positives.

Let me make one thing absolutely clear, the Trust “advisor” is not god. Are you going to tell him or shall I?

Is anyone seriously still listening to the lying, hypocritical, buffoon anymore?
They are clearly making it up as they go along, without heeding their own advice. Clueless.

Unfortunately they are and they'll still vote for him or one of his cronies. |

The general consensus around me (work environment) is that we need to knuckle down and crack on. I’m still wary of the virus but totally agree. It’s here to stay and the stop/start and economic damage is catastrophic. That’s without the impact of missed GP appointments and negative impact on the treatment of other illnesses.
Out of 40 people at work we genuinely haven’t had a single case since the start, which probably drives the mindset somewhat (we’ve been careful but very lucky) but I’m hearing more and more about covid fatigue. I’m sure they’ll be new variants, fresh boosters and the cycle will continue for now.
You get jabbed, most will be OK, some will be very ill, some will sadly still pass away. You don’t get jabbed and the risk increases but it needs to be a personal choice as we don’t hear much about it restricting transmission. Maybe ban cigarettes and face obesity head on. Meanwhile parliament lose credibility by the day as each breach unravels.
The shelves are half full/empty and you pretty much have the selection of your employment of choice.
It’s time to support businesses local and national, keeping a more pragmatic approach, which I guess they are trying to. Any Christmas restrictions will be pretty fruitless IMO.

I think they realise that's a little futile this time around. Boosting their way through it, whilst the virus itself seems pretty unstoppable. It's definitely time now for those who have escaped it so far to have their dose and get some proper antibodies. Boosting and herd immunity is really the only option. The extremely vulnerable will naturally shut themselves away more and those people need the relevant support. Regardless of how devastating these covid related deaths are, the direct links to preventable underlying conditions needs to be focused on. The same demographic of people were ultimately dying prematurely through other causes but of course there will be an exception of minority cases. |

Last year the PM and the Government were slammed by the media for ‘cancelling Christmas’
This year they do things differently and say to the public ‘act sensibly’ and decide for yourself, and now they get slammed by Doomsberg and the pest Peston for not putting more restrictive measures in place.
The opportunist Starmer savages Johnson calling him weak and of displaying no leadership, then votes the measures proposed by the PM/Government through the Commons, so then he can say ‘you only won it with our support’
Aren’t we all getting a bit tired of all the shenanigans now?

Bojo and his cronies lost any credibility once the first few tens of thousands died, followed by Cummings, Hancock and the No.10 Christmas rave series. It is chilling just how ineffective the labour party are that they aren't streets ahead in any poll. The way they are handling it now is about the most sensible approach they have taken so far, which is probably famous last words as they launch some hairbrained scheme in the new year. People can take their own risks and the vast majority are not going to end up in hospital and/or die. There is no way to stop the virus behaviourally by playing the hokey cokey or else it would have happened by now.

Whilst I don’t agree with the decision I defend the right to not be vaccinated providing individuals respect restrictions that may apply to them however the individuals who intimidated staff and trashed equipment at a Milton Keynes vaccination centre are beyond contempt.

It’s the morons he surrounds himself with - Hancock, DC, Lady Dido, Raab, Simon Case, Moggy etc that have let him down. While I’m at it, he should get praise for the Furlough programme and at least making some sort of effort on climate change. I think he is a better PM than Cameron as well. Who must win the award for doing more to fcuk us all than BJ and COVID put together! Happy with that Manny?? |
