The picture says it all. We have kindly shared it with Spain.

Switzerland is playing Spain today.

In St Petersburg, that makes perfect sense what with Russia being not at all affected. Hmm But vaccinated British tourists are of course the ones to blame.

Looneytune253 · 02/07/2021 13:16

Eh??? How can a variant that originated somewhere else entirely be our fault for it spreading to Europe. We have rules against travel but if Europe are allowing a (minority) of idiots to travel in that's kind of where it comes from. That's like saying it's all India's fault as the variant originated there. A virus/pandemic doesn't work that way.

Oh hey, go Cymru! DaffodilDaffodilDaffodil That's what you get when you lose the football - everyone stays home in a grump and it doesn't spread.

Delatron · 02/07/2021 13:19

Ha. Do you think they have magic powers on the continent to stop this variant from spreading? Once it’s there (and it is) cases will rise.

Good job we’re doing so well with our vaccinations.

@Honey12346 hahahahahahahaha!!!!

Love it!

@ChardonnaysPetDragon

Yes, everything everywhere is our fault

I'm sure there is a report out there somewhere detailing how we singlehandedly finished off the dinosaurs.

@ChardonnaysPetDragon

We did. We infected them all with coronasaurus

ChardonnaysPetDragon · 02/07/2021 13:25

Yes, on our all inclusive trips to Pangea.

Pootle40 · 02/07/2021 13:25

Yes Indian people only travelled to the UK and no other part of Europe 🤪

bishbashbosh99 · 02/07/2021 13:26

Oh go away

PicsInRed · 02/07/2021 13:28

Look at Scotland. It's the football.

Europe have some matches coming their way shortly.

TheVampiresWife · 02/07/2021 13:29

I see the OP hasn't returned Grin

pollylocketpickedapocket · 02/07/2021 13:40

@WaltzingBetty

How exactly do you propose to stop the spread of variants indefinitely *@VaccineSticker* ?

I'm pretty sure the WHO and all governments would love to know your solution to the pandemic

Probably the same as all the other dickheads who start similar threads-we sit in our homes shitting ourselves for the rest of our lives.
Inastatus · 02/07/2021 14:06

😂😂😂 don’t be so ridiculous OP!

Hoppinggreen · 02/07/2021 14:09

I’m in Spain at the moment. Everyone seems quite happy we are here.
It’s not a hugely popular area with Brits anyway but there are even fewer than normal.

are you genuinely saying that absolutely no mitigating measures work against a virus?
MarshaBradyo · 02/07/2021 14:43

Yes, everything everywhere is our fault 👍

IcedPurple · 02/07/2021 14:55

I've got a feeling this thread hasn't gone the way OP expected...

brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr · 02/07/2021 14:56

Wah wah we need to close UK borders now !

Wah wah EU won’t let us cross their borders !

Wah wah !

NearlyAlwaysInsane · 02/07/2021 14:58

Red is so in. Green is pretty boring.

HiScore · 02/07/2021 15:01

Has anybody else noticed the border between France and Spain? It’s glaringly obvious that there are testing differences between countries. How bizarre neighbouring areas are so starkly different. Looks like Spain are testing in a similar way to us maybe?

It’s dangerous to look at data and take it at face value, always question it and the methodology behind it!

MRex · 02/07/2021 15:12

My picture doesn't have colours. It does show why the colours aren't the full story though.

TotorosCatBus · 02/07/2021 15:12

People in the UK want closed borders to stop the spread but are insulted when other countries want to do the same 😂

It's obvious why Merkel wants borders shut but good on the countries standing up for what is right for their citizens and welcoming tourism revenue from Britain

MinervaMcGonagall45 · 02/07/2021 16:05

It's obvious why Merkel wants borders shut

Merkel does not want borders shut. Non vaccinated Germans are travelling throughout the EU.

Merkel wants borders shut to fully vaccinated UK travellers.

Merkel is opening up Germany to fully vaccinated Americans.

Merkel’s approach is aimed at blaming UK for the Delta wave which will soon hit Germany and cause fatalities because of the slow start to the vaccine roll out and the dire messaging of her government around vaccines.

FreeBritnee · 02/07/2021 16:21

I think they’re right to put it off as much as they can as they did to try and get as many people vaccinated before the numbers start rising again.

Lollypop701 · 02/07/2021 16:44

We test more, we sequence more. We are ahead with vaccines. The move is political… the variant is already in Europe, so cases are going to spike again. Germany (possibly France) will run a dialogue that it’s the uk fault. I think we should shut our boarders with Germany and see what they say when shit hits the fan regardless of uk travel
