and maybe a few people working in NHS, but fuck'em. (I can't see it happening either, maybe just more calls for personal responsibilty from Javid the twat)

HAHAHA

not sure government are going to care about what guardian and independent say, and you could argue there was a lot of pressure for freedom day back in the spring from mail/telegraph/sun etc. Data from hospitals and what scientific advisers are saying will in the end be what leads to more restrictions, and also tory MPs who will very much be against (unless really bad). I reckon it's 50/50 whether we have to have plan B, maybe half term will help a bit and a big drive to get boosters rolled out and kids jabbed will help prevent the need for it, just have to see. Govt will be worried about things getting bad later in the winter and they'll get accused of not following advice and acting too late again.

Wouldn't be surprised if they reduced the 6 months before booster thing..

Or the right just know that can't have everything you want and are more willing to compromise to win.

In case you missed it.

France and Italy both have national health services mostly paid for by state, but not all of it....and nor is it here, prescriptions, dentists etc.
