    No argument there. I’ve historically been a Tory voter, but I think all of the major parties are a shambles. I wouldn’t trust a single one.

    Which we, led by Churchill fought to defeat. If the Tories put restrictions on our movements it will always be reluctantly and because it is deemed necessary. Have you swallowed a dictionary?

    Conspiracy theories! The Tories are in power, they may be incompetent but they are the party of civil liberty and freedom.

    Just because you have read something on the government web site don't necessarily mean it's true
    Theres lies damn lies and statistics
    Hanging on to the coat tails of everything Boris, Mad Hancock, and Dominic Cummins tell you is not for me
    Not heard about Hancock pushing social distancing at work with his tongue down his mistresses throat
    That's exactly what you need to know what he thought of it enough said

    Thats the dictionary definition. And the restrictions don't look reluctantly applied by tory MPs, just reluctant to follow themselves. Rules for thee, not for me springs to mind.

    I have no reason to believe that the number of people being vaccinated has been fudged, nor what benefit it would serve to fudge such a figure.

    Your second to last sentence is bang on and just sums up the whole shitshow we currently see. Johnson and his cronies are literally playing pass the parcel and giving the prize to Labour only for Labour to give them it straight back.
    Roll up roll up come and see the freak show.

    Could well be correct and (if you choose) you can only believe what you see
    Past history makes me very sceptical

    The NHS app absolutely drains the battery of your phone I have recently had to turn it off

    Ditto my wife and now that the hospital is less full with covid patients, the powers that be are trying to cram the clinics full ,to catch up with the massive backlog.
    If having a covid passport and still wearing a mask in certain circumstances helps, then so be it for me.
    We all have to do our bit , no matter how small and anyone that still doubts covid, needs to spend a day on the hospital wards.

    People have valid concerns re testing (which let’s not forget some countries have concerns let alone individuals).
    Reiterating - I’ve had mine but understand why others might not want to.

    You are probably quite a bright guy but don't seem to understand Tory principles, they will always look to give you the freedom to roam and spend your money, quite often in their mate's businesses. My last comment was meant to be an attempt at humour. You are risking coming over as a Citizen Smith type character. Power to the People!

    I'm afraid that your assertion is not borne out by the evidence.

    Non pharmaceutical interventions absolutely do not reduce deaths. They may postpone in the short-term but long term they destroy more lives than they save.

    There are many tens of peer reviewed studies based on empirical evidence that show NPI's to be destructive in the real world based on the evidence of the last 16 months.

    Sweden, Florida and Texas all show what happens when you do not implement NPI's. You have no spike in infections, hospitalisations and deaths. They also have as a result, lower levels of poor mental health, business failures, suicides and health care back logs to name a few.

    Not yet all, I'm right of centre, without a doubt. I understand tory principles just fine, but what we're seeing now, aren't tory principles.

    So you’ll avoid establishments where it’s proven the occupants are Covid free yet willingly enter premises where Covid is likely to be present.
    How sensible is that???

    Being black wasnt a choice for them unlike having a vaccination for example which is. I cant believe you are comparing black oppression to the suffrage of those who wear tin foil hats either. It shows a lack of awareness.

    Showing proof of vaccination doesn't mean you dont have covid. And I'm double jabbed and have previously acquired natural antibodies to covid. I'm as protected as I can be, I don't fear the virus. I do fear the control system and affront to civil liberty that we're seeing. Its really very simple, my medical records are my business, no one else's. I won't frequent places that require me to show my medical records. I know I'm not alone and I'm amazed at those with such a blasé attitude to it - it goes to show how pliable and easily coerced and controlled people can be if its done incrementally and with the right narrative. But then, thats nothing new, history keeps repeating itself.
