As a Walthamstow resident who hasn’t been jabbed and is back in his central London office for only the second day this year, this is more than a little annoying.

Leave work early, go get jabbed, (if you want it) and does say they need to be used by midnight , which makes it sound as if they maybe open late, worth a try for sure - good luck

I really don't want to be locked down for one more minute, but this really isn't a strong argument. Strong data can't be gathered and examined over a short term, you need time. Otherwise would you lock back down again based on one bad day for deaths and cases?

They had a ceremony a few days before the big wedding.  Why get so Piers Morgan about it all?

Coos the archbish himself has called it out as bullshit.

It was a private ceremony, just not the "actual wedding".  It might have been the proper wedding to the couple, even if it wasn't the legal wedding.

Yes - given that there's been at least a few people on here over the years who've said that they consider their "real" wedding to be an informal ceremony conducted at Worthy Farm rather than the legally binding contract signing, it shouldn't be a foreign concept.

Make business sense for the employer to let staff go and get the vaccine as well.

Cheers all. Got there to a queue the size of Wimbledon and to be told they were completely out. Was worth a crack though.

The data supported an opening up on Monday, so it happened. See if the data from that continues to support opening up further.

Schools to close in France for 3 weeks as part of national restrictions. It sounds awful for them over there, I hope things improve quickly for them and they can leave restrictions soon

Serves them right for the horrendous vaccine rollout and in particular for the political smear campaign against the AZ.

 

Macron should resign.

serves the french public right for a political decision ? is that really what you are saying ? so it serves me right to have Boris in charge even though I had absolutely no choice in that yeah ?

If you watch the news tonight you could be forgiven for thinking the UK is the safest place in the world just now!!

This virus is still raging across the globe. 

[jannybruck]

I genuinely don't know what position my mental health would be in were we not completely smashing the vaccine programme and getting cases through the floor right now. If I was in France, for example, and facing up to another however-many-months of bad news and bullshit I'd be absolute rock bottom.

The constant media whiplash from good news to bad news – multiple times, daily – over the past year has been emotionally exhausting, so I've no idea how our friends in the mainland are coping.

Yep - the way the UK government have handled the pandemic since the turn of the year has been just what was needed and they should be congratulated for. A long, strict lockdown and a very speedy and successful vaccination rollout. Supported with a measured and gradual roadmap to the way out of this mess. 

As I feel the need to always say in here - this is not for one moment forgetting or condoning their errors over the past year with caused thousands of deaths - but you’d probably say that in 2021 you’d be hard pressed to find a country currently handling this any better a year into the pandemic.

Agree with all of this.

A lot of people here probably thought just like that at the start of January and we are now fortunately in a position to be nearing the other side of that. We should be able to show some sympathy for the French and what they are about to go through, they are still people after all and this will be difficult for them. I'm not saying you aren't feeling sympathy for them by the way just sort of adding some thoughts to your post.

We are on a Glastonbury forum and the first post in response to there French entering another lockdown is essentially 'serves them right', what about the spirit of the festival where we try to care for one another?

Just done my third volunteering shift - felt busier today but I think that's more because we were short-staffed than anything. A good amount of second dose coming through, too. Not sure when my next will be - I've applied for a few in April, but I'm not really expecting to get much with supply supposedly about to dip. Guess we'll see!
