What a shit he is

@DottyHarmer

Who wants a lockdown? Well, one or two posters on here have been gagging for one for months. Christmas came early for them with the Omicron variant.

I don’t care if Boris had a party. Hypocritical, of course, but even if he’d have had ten parties I wouldn’t have had one. Boris and the govt are not responsible nor do they have any effect on the virus. It is a worldwide problem. It is so terrible that I think that people focus on some small domestic shit to avoid facing the fact that this whole thing is disastrous. For all we know Putin or Macron or Biden or Trump had parties. It just doesn’t make any difference.

And force vaccines

Try it.

Magicalwoodlands · 08/12/2021 18:12

A lot of people have wanted lockdowns, it’s really odd but I’ve noticed this.

@Booklover3

For vaccine passports. 2 jabs is enough.
Emerald76360 · 08/12/2021 18:13

Work from home but nightclubs, pubs still open. So you can work all day at home and then go out to the pub?

LittlestLightOnTheXmasTree · 08/12/2021 18:13

No vaccine just a lft will suffice??

I assume Sunak isn't opening the purse strings for funding the closures.

Iheartmydog · 08/12/2021 18:14

Deaths and hospitalisations dropping and we are still under restrictions. What’s the fucking point.

HereComesTheSun12 · 08/12/2021 18:14

All nonsense. Nothing introduced that'll make a blind bit of difference.

No it is not ending!
rrhuth · 08/12/2021 18:14

Boosters not needed for vaccine pass? Because they don't limit transmission much?

Nothinbut · 08/12/2021 18:15

@MaxNormal

Try it.

Oooo you're hard!
EnnAndJay · 08/12/2021 18:15

So basically, he's done fuck all.

Tests still sufficient for the Covid pass, WFH only "if you can"...

We're in the same fucking mess we were five minutes ago.

PurpleDaisies · 08/12/2021 18:15

@rrhuth

No, because the programme isn’t far enough in

Because cases are rising and Omicron hospitalisations in SA are rising rapidly.
MaxNormal · 08/12/2021 18:16

No just desperate.

EveryFlightBeginsWithAFall · 08/12/2021 18:16

Isn't that what's happening most places anyway? Ds2 needs a covid pass or lft to go to a concert next week already.

Roundeartheratchriatmas · 08/12/2021 18:16

Some of us are quite capable of assessing risk to ourselves and limiting mixing without being told to by idiot in chief Boris PAFMO.

I have cancelled events this year already because I do not want to take the risk of catching covid and then spreading it to my family. Not because the government has told me to.

I also wore a mask even when I wasn’t legally required to or told to by the government. Because again I wanted to minimise the risk.
