Not sure how Boris can stand up tonight and ask us to wait 'just another few weeks' after his antics this weekend.

Nor after seeing the scenes at countless pubs where people were celebrating the footy results

I'm 100% done now

There are at least 28 people in this picture that I can count. And that's not everyone who was there by a long shot.

@randomkey123

But it's not the end of lockdown, is it? We're still going to have to wear face nappies, still socially distance to some degree and restrictions will be in certain places ie hospitals etc.

And GP's aren't going to magically open their doors.

Life has changed forever with this pandemic.

There are things you can resist.

They will have to drop some things if we stand against them, like this.

Or vaccination ID.

@RightOnTheEdge

The posters who say they are not wearing a mask anymore how will that work in places like shops and pubs where its required. Will you just say you are exemptif the staff ask you?
I just don't go to them, as far as I am aware they are private properties and can put rules in place that they like, if their rules say I have to wear a mask. My right is not use them, I won't claim I am exempt because that is shitty to those people really are.
placemats · 14/06/2021 12:48

With a double vaccination you will not end up in hospital and will likely recover.

However, ignore the rules and you could be a super spreader. If that's what you want go for it but it's a selfish act in the extreme and just extends the misery for the rest of us.

Grow up and act responsibly.

A young person below the age of 25 working in a pub would likely have to self isolate, possibly lose wages and deal with the symptoms.

[quote Thewiseoneincognito]@BingBangBong1believe me there is nothing to love about this.

I too have lost 3 members of family to Covid. Unfortunately when this next wave peaks it will silence those who are saying numbers are low open back up I’m done.

It’s no different to the horrendous scenario of running out onto the beach when the tide suddenly disappears to look at the little fishes flipping around on the wet sand gasping for air - just before the waves come rushing back in.

People are desperate to regain normality and I get that, but you must be pragmatic and understand that our behaviours now have repercussions later on.

You may be done, but Covid isn’t.[/quote]
Sorry for the loss of your loved ones.

I have also lot loved ones recently, one from a cardiac arrest and another from suicide.

Not meaning to sound insensitive, honestly, but we are all going to die. We can't stop living for fear of dying.

I think the point is, we are seeing the government officials 'living,' ignoring their own rules [cummings] and then expecting us all to shuffle around in conformity and follow their every guidance without question.

People are beginning to ask questions and rightly so.
Yes it's been an awful year and the NHS was on it's knees, but it already was pre-covid, so obviously if hundreds of nurses are suddenly not at work because they're shielding, of course it's not going to cope with demand.

I urge people to look at figures and make their own minds up. Don't just conform, don't just wear a mask in 30c heat without questioning why you're doing so.
Approx April 2020 we were told masks weren't needed and they didn't help against this killer virus...few months later they were made mandatory...is it coincidence that a PPE contract worth millions was granted to Clipper [linked to the tory party] without any rival bids and suddenly masks are mandatory??

Look at the official figures. Yes rates are rising OF COURSE THEY ARE because we are mixing again, that's inevitable. But the actual death rates are miniscule.
The mainstream media [obviously profitable] scaremonger and instil fear. I urge you to switch it off and do our own research.

Sorry again for your loss xx

Hppymum123 · 14/06/2021 12:49

I’m done too! It seems they keep giving us a little bit of freedom to make us all believe normality is returning then snatch it all back away again once they think we’ve had enough of a break from it all to still follow the rules. Well I’m not playing this game any more.

shewalkslikerihanna · 14/06/2021 12:49

@murbblurb

He's fucked up. Everyone pays. It's shit - but refusing to keep taking precautions wont help. Protest against our useless leader instead.
Well I expect the massive London protest on June 26 will be even more massive now. I was on a thread this morning when loads of dv ( double vaxed) we’re kicking off big style. Saying what was the point? I’m not doing it anymore. I’m out on June 21 etc

People who said they had been really compliant throughout.

Personally I don’t blame them.
I’d feel cheated too.
There’s young kids who were pre teens before this, missed out on so many fun things who will now have to start thinking about gcse choices/ their futures while their childhood has been squandered

Crowsaregreat · 14/06/2021 12:51

It's a pandemic, you don't decide when it's over or else it would never have begun.

It's going on for longer because Johnson was so desperate for a trade deal with India that he was willing to let British people die unnecessarily.

Numbers are jumping up. We need to get them back down before autumn comes. Other countries are opening up but ours is not because our government is entirely wrong headed.

We need to do whatever it takes to stop hospitals filling up and the horrible toll that takes on NHS staff.

youshallnotpass9 · 14/06/2021 12:51

@jgw1

It is pleasing to see that so many posters are not bored of bashing Boris.
If Johnson was slightly competent wouldn't have much to bash him about

Without any vaccination, the majority of people will not end up in hospital and will likely recover too.

I work in healthcare and see people testing positive all the time, completely symptomatic and no idea they have it aside from being forced to routine test.

People need to realise the chronic obsession with testing is keeping us in this state of exaggerated figures, fear and lockdown.

TheKeatingFive · 14/06/2021 12:54

Honestly, the hard of thinking keep bleating versions of this thought and it’s so tedious.

No one is saying they decide when Covid is over. They’re saying they decide when a particular strategy for dealing with it is over. It’s not a very difficult distinction.

But even if it's more than 30 it's within the rules. I was in room with 50 people at work the other week, no social distancing!

I saw a woman at a red hot market place on Saturday wearing a dress, a scarf round her neck and a mask all in the same material..outside, in sweltering sunshine..I felt like saying and the prize for first degree virtue signalling goes to you.

What a covidiot

youshallnotpass9 · 14/06/2021 12:56

I started to be done with Cummings and his eyesight test and then kept going all the way through to not putting India on the red list because of a trade deal for 3 weeks.

Plus everything else in between, that keeps being swept under the carpet, Hancock's pub landlord getting a contract, his and his sister's company. Tory Donor's, the elderly being sent back into care homes, lack of PPE, our world beating track and trace. I could go on and on about everything thay have done wrong and the only thing that anyone is going to remember is the vaccine roll out the one thing they did well, by handing it off to the proper experts rather than one of their mates

Yes of course and have done all this time

Thewiseoneincognito · 14/06/2021 12:59

@shewalkslikerihanna where exactly are they going on June 21st that they can’t already go to now? 😂 no ones locked away at home are they?

Double vaxxed people are still at risk.

I also hope we have teams of scientists looking at how protected those double vaxxed at the start of the year are going to get on should they get this variant without a booster jab. Is waning immunity a threat, especially as the first groups are our most vulnerable.

We need questions like this answering conclusively before we can say ok fine off you go everyone, there’s no threat. Otherwise we could be dealing with a bigger headache than not being able to go to a nightclub in the next month or two.

OliviaWainright · 14/06/2021 13:00

Aside from certain, real, exceptions, WHY is wearing a mask such a hardship? It's vaguely annoying, but I feel the same way about shoes.

placemats · 14/06/2021 13:00

Asymptomatic you mean? You are working in healthcare after all and should know this.

So all those countries, including the UK, didn't actually have their hospitals overwhelmed with Covid patients? New York didn't happen?

placemats · 14/06/2021 13:02

Olivia I feel the same way about wearing a bra, especially in the heat.

LondonJax · 14/06/2021 13:02

Well whoever put the photo together could have done better. I've never worn a mask outside so the bottom photo is a load of BS. I was in the park the other week, not a mask in sight. So if you are going to do like with like, find a photo of all the G7 bods inside without a mask.

As far as the rest of it is concerned I'm quite happy for places to be open again. I don't have to go to them and in some cases, won't. I'll make my own mind up about whether a place feels safe and, if I want to mask up, I will.

Because they hate to be seen to comply. They want to show their defiance. Also they’re usually very average IQ. 🤭
RightOnTheEdge · 14/06/2021 13:03

I know they are legally entitled to if they are exempt.
I was just wondering if everyone who is giving up masks was going to lie about being exempt in shops or pubs.

I work in a pub and we have to ask if people can please wear masks. If they say they are exempt that's fine we don't question it.

I actually hate masks it makes me feel miserable wearing one all day at work and I don't care how many people say its no big deal.

I don't think I could bring myself to say I'm exempt when I'm not though.

UpSlyDown · 14/06/2021 13:05

I've been done for a while. I still don't know a single person who has actually been ill with covid and we have been in a v v v vhigh risk area (plenty of friends have tested positive but all been fine). The impact on children of lockdown and restrictions is now vastly disproportionate to the actual risk to the vast majority of people. I am reassured by the sad fact that we don't have anywhere near enough police to enforce anything so if we do go into lockdown again I will happily be meeting friends and seeing family.

Haha yes sorry typo, can't edit it now. Was ranting and typing quickly Grin

I love how you have assumed I don't believe the hospitals were overwhelmed. Of course they were overwhelmed, it was a new virus and people didn't know how to treat it/plus thousands of nurses were at home being made to shield.

Don't assume everyone that's questioning the governments motifs is the same.
I hear of people believing the whole thing is a hoax; and that is their right and their opinion. It is not my opinion.

I believe the virus is new to us, and is real and makes some people unwell [to varying degrees] but the corruption and BS we are being fed by our leaders, is so obvious.
