How confident are people that the uptake of booster jabs will be high enough? I know a few people who got both jabs and are saying they just don't want to go through it again, especially those that were a bit ill afterwards initially. I'm not saying they're right, i'm just wondering if this might be an issue.

My first jab was a pretty bad experience and although i'm definitely having the second, I can't say I'm keen on going through all that again.
Personally I don't see the point of booster shots yet. So far the current vaccination regimen has worked fine to protect against hospitalizations, severe disease and death.

Have to be honest I would forego the kebab. Not being holier than though but that's what I do at the moment don't take unneccessary risks.
I'd question the hygiene of the staff of the place! They clearly don't care about their customers health.

The government don't have to celebrate freedom day by going into quarantine. Let the bells ring out:
:lol:

Let me guess, this pilot programme was launched about 20 minutes after they were notified they needed to isolate.

That's answered my question thanks, it is an assumption.

I don't see how he could justify not isolating personally, but I daresay we'll find out tomorrow, lots of politician-interviewing takes place on Sunday mornings.
Wow. 711 wrong again shock.

Johnson will NOT self-isolate. You might think it impossible to underestimate the stupidity of this man, but I managed it.

Ok I now think we’re in trouble…

Either they didn’t expect the population to follow the basics like adhering to track and trace, maintain personal hygiene, etc. so they thought “ach, what difference will it make?” or they want to embolden people to disregard them. Seems more likely it’s the latter at this point. That’s gonna feck shit up.

Hope it backfires on them and people just start to self-regulate because they no longer believe the government have any interest in keeping them safe. That way they’ll seem weak and callous by the health conscious folk and stupid and careless by the business conscious folk. That’s my plan now. If people want to let it rip I’ll steer clear.

What a bunch of cnuts.

Very true :lol: I’m sure they’re not, but lots will use any excuse they can to reinforce their view that they don’t need to isolate, wear masks etc etc.
It was pretty inevitable wasn't it? :lol:

You’re telling that like a good story
Not really, the good part was that I’d forgotten my mask so was worried about being able to get my food - the fact that no one else was bothered about masks was a bit worrying at the same time, although I assume this will be the norm in England from tomorrow anyway

What kind of message does this send out ? They’re either really bad at their jobs or give zero fecks about the general public now.

Whats more dangerous is if they’ve actually decided to roll this scheme out to others now to cover their own backs:


@711 That assumption didn’t work out too badly did it?

Could this be the fastest U-turn ever? Wankers.
How stupid do you need to be that you don’t know there’d be a backlash to this? They’re so media conscious yet they don’t know the basics. Just absurd.

feck me Pex they've just reversed. Now they will. I totally give up. I hadn't seen that.
:lol:

As usual they are operating not on any sort of moral compass but on the process of “announce something bat shit crazy, go to social media and put finger in the air, reverse if the wrong people are angry”

Haha sorry missed that, you could have got bonus points for saying he will never make a u-turn on the issue either
You turn if you want, the Lady's not for turning.....
Such a powerful statement.

I find it strange the furore about the PM and Chancellor not self-isolating and undergoing the scheme that was in place before they got the ping. I fully expect the decision makers in our country to have measures in place that prevents them from not being able to do their job. The fact that the PM isn't capable enough to do his job regardless of his covid situation is what we should worried about and the u-turn demonstrates this further.

Because we don't actually care. We bitch and moan and act all outraged at everything the government does, but half the country are alt-tabbing across to pornhub after that online-moan, before illegally visiting our friends and family.

A country of hypocrites, but the lack of protesting at least shows we're aware of the fact.

Nothing can more accurately represent these idiots than one of them getting Covid, potentially passing it on to the other two just as 'freedom day' comes up, them scrambling to not have to self isolate on aforementioned freedom day and then scrambling again after probably realising the terrible optics of it.

So Boris will be isolated on 'freedom day'.

Outstanding.

Besides most not caring enough and just moaning online, they still have huge support, Boris is hugely popular and well liked. The Caf is mostly left leaning too
