I’ve stuck rigidly to the rules set out for us whilst many haven’t , I was in our local shopping centre on Saturday and for the first time I’ve noticed there were more NOT wearing a face covering then were.
Sorry Boris , you can’t keep locking us down!!!

We need mass civil disobedience if there are anymore restrictions.

[Bobbisox1]

Dave I’m a pacifist but enough is enough now

[bobbinwales]

You mean so more people are ill or die? What good will that do?

[Mamyalynne]

It would be political suicide to say there may never be a time when things get bad enough to lockdown again.

[Bobbisox1]

Bob, we will have to live with it !!

[bobbinwales]

How can he rule it out eithe rlocally or nationally,under any circumstances. He can hardly say he'll just let tens or hundreds of thousands die and hospitals overwhelmed in the unlikeley event we get say a new variant that the vaccinne doesnt help. He should say its very unlikely tho but he cant of course rule it out in a crisis

[bobbinwales]

Bob, we will have to live with it !!
Or die with it.

Anyone would be stupid to rule it out how ever bad things get

[Mamyalynne]

You really want a PM that says 'Right, that's it - do as you like and live with it?'

[Bobbisox1]

Mamya , I like BJ , I voted Tory and will do again but I am tonight very annoyed with this sword continually hanging over us like a guillotine

[Mamyalynne]

Then have a word with the virus and tell it to behave and stop mutating, good luck.

[gulliver1]

I can see trouble ahead, if he lifts lockdown too early with this Delta version still causing concern. If Boris is wise (which he is not) he will wait .But Boris WILL probably lift the L/D on the 19th just to keep in favour.

[Bobbisox1]

You mean just like the flu virus?
We need to accept its nor going away anytime soon and we have to live with it

[Bobbisox1]

*not*

[MartinMillar]

If it’s a choice of lockdown or letting thousands die I’d rather lockdown

[gulliver1]

If Boris is stupid enough to lift the lockdown and things do go wrong .... then he will have to play his trump card.... (nothing to do with Donald)..and sack Matt Hancock to save his own skin.

[burlyshirley]

I agree Bobbs. Is this to be our life forever now because of covid ?? The vaccine roll out was supposed to be the answer and then along came variants. Yes, people may still get it, but it doesn't mean thousands will go on dying. Time the scaremongering stopped.

gulliver, you got it right a few weeks back when you suggested today wasn't going to be freedom day at all. July 19, I don't know and neither does he but he's talking nonsense if he thinks, once more, it's "looking good"

[Bobbisox1]

Bs there’s just no way this can go on forever , people will end up with low immunity

[burlyshirley]

And yet football is being played with thousands of fans rubbing shoulders and England being invaded by the Scots ! Weddings are still restricted though - absolutely none of it makes any sense at all !
