We all agree with you! What's your point?

Those people all deserve support, too. Is there supposed to be something controversial about other, clearly deserving people getting it as well? Or asking for more if they feel they deserve it? Or should it be 'all or nothing'? Nice to see the return of the supermarket moan btw

Who else is more deserving of a raise this year than NHS staff? Someone mentioned carers, I'd put them on the list - anyone else? Do we have to wait until they all get a pay rise first before anyone else gets one? And does this philosophy now apply to all public spending? No new help for...

Going back to why some inner city constituencies might not be taking up the vaccine as quick as others - a long (but great) article from the FT today which is well worth a read: Subscribe to read | Financial Times

Lockdown? I'm still in London, what's a lockdown?

Nah. Any new sponsor would want a lot of distance between themselves and the kinds of grimey questions that could come up.

Those inner city London constituencies are some of the youngest in the country so not surprising they’d be at the bottom of the overall table. But the take-up among older residents there is still lower than most other places, so there is something going on. (People leaving London during the...

Not your best work, if we’re being honest with ourselves.

Absolute nonsense.

Real authoritative stuff then.

The Sky Blue Trust has disbanded?!

Joint press conference! Will it be on Sky Box Office?

Could be waiting a long time in that case! We have to get back to normal at some stage, and if you can't do that once you've been vaccinated, why bother getting vaccinated? (Uhh other than not dying from coronavirus) It's more of an issue in countries where vaccine hesitancy is high (the UK is...

Well the vaccines are so new, they haven't proved it definitively either way, so that's why the rules are still in place for now. But all the recent evidence is that you won't spread it once you're vaccinated (same as most other vaccines we're used to) Covid vaccines may stop spread ‘almost...

Ricoh too hard to get to and no bars nearby, so I'll be watching in the casino instead

Well, the difference is that your example could lead to those people infecting each other. The strong assumption (and yes, it's still technically just an assumption) is that vaccinated people mixing wouldn't.

Was looking into this the other day. A UCL study says older people are slightly more compliant than younger people, but only on certain things and not by much. Overall, compliance is very high. Page 64...

Fair enough. I see it slightly differently, but there's not much point us arguing round and round about it, when the posts are there for all to see.

So in summary, this thread you started was a chance for everyone to get excited about something that most people thought was nonsense and would probably never happen? Is that how you think I should be reading it? Could be that I've dramatically misinterpreted it, but that honestly isn't the...
