Anti-lockdown demonstrations are under way in central London, as MPs urge the government to change the law to allow peaceful protest.

Aren't those two separate things? I'm very much in favour of the right to protest and concern about the plans to remove it but for me that's entirely different to a restriction on public gatherings during a pandemic.

This type of protest, and allowing it or not, is genuinely interesting to me. I know Grendel brought it up elsewhere but... it got a bit lost...

I am generally in favour of the right to protest and, tbh, it's one of the more worrying aspects of a lockdown, if that is removed. What *does* complicate it is if it's a protest against the very thing you're trying to prevent, and if you consider that a deliberate provocation. I'm not sure I have the answer myself to that.

710,000 jabs today, the biggest daily total so far. Keep it going until the supplies go down and we can afford a bit of time below average.

The 2nd dose numbers should be going up significantly in the next couple of weeks as well.

That's been at or above 100k for a few days, will be the bulk of April's jabs which I'm OK with.

She was a remainer but now realises if we hadn’t left we’d be still scratching around for vaccines and would be bottom of the favoured list.
So if you are a remainer/still a remoaner be grateful of our government getting things done.
Still expecting the few/Many on here finding a positive of being an EU member.
Can you imagine If Gina Miller had got her way? Or Corbyn voted in and we’d remained?

Fancy another referendum now? I would think you’d get your arses kicked remoaners also cannot wait for that by election could be interesting up north which Starmer should win easily.

I think she knows a little bit more about the virus/Roll out than you pal as having had it and seen over the past year of how things have improved especially with the finding of the relatively cheap steroid which they use now.
Cheer up

Why do you lie so much?

The whole sister nurse things is an obvious lie


Also Gina Miller won, she got her way. You keep mentioning her but don't actually know what she went to court for. Her case was that Parliament would have to vote on any Brexit deal and the SC agreed. Thusly she won, her court case was not about "stopping brexit"

Genuinely what is the point of getting everyone vaccinated if this is the future

We've got more now from Dr Mary Ramsay, the head of immunisation at Public Health England, who has told Andrew Marr some restrictions, such as social distancing and wearing a mask, could last for years.

“People have got used to those lower level restrictions now, and people can live with them, and the economy can still go on with those less severe restrictions in place."

“We are talking about quite a long period of time," says Dr Ramsay.

“So I think certainly for a few years, at least until other parts of the world are as well vaccinated as we are, and the numbers have come down everywhere - that is when we may be able to go very gradually back to a more normal situation.”

Asked about opening up big events, such as football matches, Dr Ramsay also says they will need "to be monitored very carefully" with some clear instructions about necessary restrictions in place.

She stresses it is “very important that we do not relax too quickly.”

The vaccine rollout means the chances of death and hospital admissions are much lower, but any circulating virus would inevitably pick up on anybody who is vulnerable.

“We have to look very carefully before any of these restrictions are lifted.”

Supposing we get to the point where every adult is double jabbed by the autumn (or has at least been given the opportunity) and your probability of hospitalisation is very low, why still restrict everything? Many just won't bother to get jabs in such a case.

If we have to social distance for years I'm moving to Australia where they already don't have to do that.

To be fair I'd be living in Australia already if covid hadn't happened. My partner's job was being transferred out there and we both had working visas and a leaving date. Now we're stuck here. Fuck covid.

I'd still bother getting jabbed....in fact I have developed a little vaccine envy considering my age and potential condition....but after everyone's been jabbed twice, all the lockdown rules and laws can fuck right off.

So have I, but many my age won't get one if they want to keep restrictions in place regardless.
