10 months on from the first lockdown started and we’re being told that ways to speed up vaccination roll out are “being looked at”. What a riot.

I'm not quite in the heads gone camp with regards to vaccine numbers yet but it does make you wonder what they've been doing for the past 10 months. It's not as if the vaccine came completely out of the blue.

Obvious what they’ve been doing.  Focusing on independence and brexit.

She's a c**t, I remember at the time she said we shouldn't close the borders she was a stooge then and still one now. It  wasn't a public  health choice but a government decision she was pushing.

Why the f**k is he spouting better together nonsense?

She said you should only close borders and test and trace when the numbers are lower but never did anything when they were and said large crowds and facemasks didn't make any difference.

She's a mouthpiece for the tories.

When did Hancock get out of isolation?  Doesn’t seem like 10 days ago he had to isolate.

ETA 6 days ago from what I can make out.

It’s 10 days since when you had your close contact with the person who tested positive.  I know someone who was told to self-isolate for the remainder of the day!

Playing devils advocate here.

You can’t have a medical representative (giving advice the government are allegedly taking onboard) stand up and contradict what the government actually do.  Public health isn’t the only concern governments have to deal with.

if the public see the government ignoring medical advice then they’ll also ignore the medical advice.

It's pretty much what all of SAGE and clownshoe Leitch were saying until they shat the bed.

what we call poverty in this country is simply not having the disposable income that the majority of people do, absolute poverty where your income is not enough to cover the most basic essentials , food, clothing, electricity /gas, communications , shelter & tax  ( the last 2 are most often waived by means of benefits and credit in cases where the persons situation warrents applying for help) is very rare in the uk, it does exist but it is not as widespread as people make out.

There are a number of factors why someone might slip through the cracks and fall from standard first world poverty to genuinely struggling to feed themselves and keep the lights on, the most common of which is when people with severe vulnerabilities are treated as tho they are any other person and just need to pull their socks up when they are in fact not capable of handling budgets and responsabilitys

On paper the uk welfare system should make absolute poverty non existant , but it needs to be properly managed

This is just nonsense.

Yep I was told to isolate for a day just after Christmas.

That's the first elderly family member to be booked in for their jag this coming weekend.

Forgot to ask if it was in a blue envelope or not.

Anyway, hopefully that's the care homes more or less finished? Anyone got the latest figures on that?

People were saying that months ago. UK public are shitebags. When was the last time there was large scale public unrest in this country? 

I know what you're saying. But a copycat riot type thing can't be far off. (Granted, rioting is more of a summer sport)

Definitely no riots. A mass grumbling event probably which will lead to have the folk in the mass grumble complain to the polis because 'there are too many folk here and they're no social distancing'.

Britain is a country of subservient, doff-your-cap, bootlicking, craven lickspittles. If someone in a suit with a posh voice tells them to do something, they'll do it.

Who is going to do this rioting? There are Covid deniers and lockdown sceptic protests all the time and hardly anyone goes to them. They happened all through the summer, yet it was BLM v the statue shaggers that was the big draw for the rioters.  I just don't think there is the strength of feeling out there that a few posters on here think there is. Most people just have a bit of a moan and get on with it.

Case in point:

Baby P = A guy having his dinner with his son.

Dr. Matt would most certainly have given Jewish people away with nary a second thought.

 

Edit 

And to be fair - the c**t complaining about it is a massive, massive tory. Of course he is, check that twitter handle out.

Leopards eating faces party, etc. But still that level of logic in your bootlicking and the justification for grassing someone in for eating dinner with their son is absolutely terrifying.

Yeah, going by his Twitter name, he’s a c**t.

Oh, he's absolutely a c**t. Someone I follow liked the tweet and I had a squint, and as I usually do out of habit, had a quick look at his timeline. Plenty of anti SNP and Labour rhetoric, nothing on the Tories.

There are no goodies in this story but it makes me massively uncomfortable to think we're at a stage that so many people think it's morally or socially acceptable to actually shop someone in for having a single visitor in their home. A chap at the door and a quiet 'just watch what you're doing' would suffice if you really insist that you MUST be an interfering fucker. 

Folk in the UK are so subservient to authority that it's genuinely unsettling. I'll never understand those who see this sort of behaviour as 'normal' and 'just doing my bit'.

These are the same types of people who would have shopped neighbours for sheltering Jews from the Nazis.

Was quite interested to hear the boys in blue turned up at a house in Ayrshire and told the 8 or 10 getting bladdered to go home, no drama or hanging around, just a few words then offski.

Fleg protests in Belfast maybe, but guess NI is a special case where state authority  is generally viewed with a healthy degree of skepticism. The moment you question all the over the top nanny state stuff there will be someone along telling us that Sweden got it disastrously wrong even though in reality their per capita cumulative mortality rate is probably still lower than the UK's quicker than you can say Sven Goran Eriksson. Somebody with a posh accent said it on the telly so it must be true.

In their defence they need to go through due process. As we are aware, The Guys have to Take A Look at the very least.
