BobWillis2 Posted July 18, 2021 Report Share Posted July 18, 2021 Hardly worth the big furore is it. Ironically the faux rage has played into Boris’ hands and he can now hide away for the rest of the week while shit hits the fan re “freedom” day.

There are stories of people testing positive then going to the game last weekend anyway. Yeah it doesn't work self reporting. Equally you could have double vaccinated people in theory passing it onto unvaccinated people. I'd expect a change to vaccine proof only soon - and it's probably the right thing to do despite not being perfect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder what the rest of the day will bring 😂 The rest of my day is Sun, burgers and lager so to be fair there’s a good chance that I will forget.

There are stories of people testing positive then going to the game last weekend anyway. I'm hopeful people will do the right thing. The issue is you only ever really hear the extreme sides of the debate, either open everything up or don't reopen until everyone is jabbed twice. You never hear people in the middle who are happy complying to the rules but don't like the blame game like me. I just genuinely want to do the right thing and enjoy myself safely and I think many others will agree too. I think this week will go smoother than expected but you'll only hear about the idiots taking things to the extreme Edited July 18, 2021 by Chapple12345 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A u turn like this would be gold dust for any strong opposition party but will probably be Con+10 in a few days time. I say all this as a disheartened Labour voter by the way I laughed at Ed Byrne on Mock the Week. ’I don’t know what’s worse about the current Labour Party. The fact that their only manifesto seems to be that they’re not the tories or the fact that that isn’t enough to get them in power’ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cynic in me things the plan was to piss people off enough to say "f**k it" and get back to normal without precautions = boost the economy Then as you say gets to hide whilst this sh*tshow unfolds further App will get a few deletions too...

Homer Posted July 18, 2021 Report Share Posted July 18, 2021 (edited) Bizarrely I finally got post-pinged from Wembley yesterday, have to isolate for the next four days apparently. None of my mates I went with, or my wife, have been pinged. Edited July 18, 2021 by Homer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know more people than ever who are isolating for 4-5 days, one friend was event told to isolate for 2 days 😂 that mixed in with todays debacle and you wonder why people aren't complying anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn’t them getting ‘pinged’, that’s just shit reporting. They were in meetings with Saj and were contacted by Track & Trace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt42 Posted July 18, 2021 Report Share Posted July 18, 2021 I used to be one of these people that thought the tories were skilled enough to make up extreme plans and there was always a true motive behind what they do. I don’t think that’s the case at all. I think it’s all as messy as it looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s in equal parts amusing and cringeworthy to watch the usual suspects attempt to assert a narrative over the transparently obvious - people at the top disregarding their own rules and betraying the contempt they have for voters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
