Anyone any idea if this is going to be anything dramatic or just a 'be careful' pep talk?

His been on strong tablets of some kind I bet!
Looks a bit spaced out. Along with his shit hair dye and trim job from the current Mrs J.

@Dumpedwife

Do what you want but Don't do what you want.

Be careful but don't be careful.

Go out but don't go out.

Wear a mask if you want but don't wear a mask even if you want yo.

Wear a mask if it's busy but if you don't think it's busy don't Wear a mask.

Waffle waffle confusion and more waffle

Wonderful!

He looks quite unwell. Maybe he has covid again. That wouldn’t be the best advert for the vaccine if he ended up in hospital again. Especially as he tried to worm out of isolating.

Puzzledandpissedoff · 19/07/2021 17:43

He's saying venues will need proof of double vaccine.....but some people dont trust/want it? how will that work?

In theory they won't be admitted, though there'll be a colossal trade in fake "proof"

I'm mindful, though, of reports than vaccine refusal's common among ethnic minorities, and depending on venue wonder what'll happen if this affects them disproportionately and the screams of racism start.
Obviously being jabbed's a choice and choices come with consequences, but are they really going to say "Your choice - deal with it" when faced with the inevitable accusations?

/i think he looks unwell too, something to do with his eyes. Or I suppose it could be the stress getting to him.

Aren't the cases going up in some parts of America again?

the80sweregreat · 19/07/2021 17:45

I have a horrible feeling he may well end up back in hospital! It would put the conspiracy theorists in a tail spin if that did happen.

SpindleWhorl · 19/07/2021 17:46

He's had some coke for this, surely, by the size of his pupils. He looks ill, pale, wrong, green-haired, he's gibbering and incoherent, and seemingly frightened of something.

You wouldn't think it was the end of restrictions day, very sombre

Also, Patrick Vallance said "60% of those admitted to hospital have been fully vaccinated" but he stresses this is "not surprising" as most people have now been vaccinated.

Ermmm... isn't the aim of being fully vaccinated to keep people out of hospital?? The whole idea is not to put the NHS under pressure, or has that been conveniently forgotten?

I didn't know coke turned hair green 😂

He's put a 'blonde' product on it and been too coked to wash it off

the80sweregreat · 19/07/2021 17:49

Get double vaccinated .. still get covid
I can't see that on a podium somehow!
His hair does look a bit green..

We do not have an anti vaxx movement in this country but if they push ahead with this they will create one. They are choosing to go down a very dangerous road.

He's combed it the other way to hide the bleach burns on his forehead.
