Yes. So long as there's one case of the virus or one person not vaccinated anywhere in the world our jailors will not let us leave these fair isles. If we're lucky they might, might let us travel 30 miles for a day out.

Fucks sake. When ?

One day mate, one day soon.

The messaging from this Government is shite , Hancock telling people it’s going to be a great British summer and he’s going to Cornwall , Shapps saying the complete opposite, Johnson not long ago telling the nation that by spring/ Easter things will be getting some kind of normality. They will lose the co operation of the majority of the public very soon if they are not careful. Come spring and the first days of decent weather people will be out and about and won’t give a fuck what any authority figure says .

i agree, the mix messaging is the death knell

Portugal is becoming a virologists wet dream! we are no longer so worried about the Kent,Brazilian,Amazonian and South African variants as we are now stressing about the Californian variant.

I’ve decided if I’m going down with this I’m going to choose the Californian one as it sounds less painful.

People are now at the end of their tether. You cannot keep promising the country that if figures come down, people, particularly the vulnerable, are vaccinated, then we can return to some form of normality, then roll out Grant Sharp to say no we can't. As you say as soon as a spell of good weather comes everyone's is going to say fuck it and they don't have enough police to stop them or space in prisons to put people.
