    This kind of move is our only hope for trusting the vaccine and returning to normality ….yet the obvious sense that so many people want to see it backfire?

    You’d be very hot in that large felt had the woman in the middle of this clip was wearing.

    Very hot.

    Fair play to them. They have had a great vaccine programme and they have to go for it now really.
    Life has to go on.
    I notice a lot of our media are pointing at Boris and criticising, why?
    Aren’t we opening up next week as well?

      The UK simply do not have enough vaccinated to prevent a major surge in deaths and sickness after the UK experiences a gigantic increase in infections, it will of course wallop us here thanks to Bozo and company.

    18 months into a pandemic. The abject terror evident in the faces of the young shows just how much of a threat they consider Covid to be. Good on them. Push back for life and living. Let the coward class cower forever if they want.

    OK so- Johnston is taking a risk but if it pays off then he will walk the next election. This move is very popular with the public so I expect politicians world wide are watching very closely. Nobody care about ‘cases’ of course, hospitalisations and fatalities are what is important.

    Stark contrast to Macron in France of course where from 1st August, you will need a pass to even shop for food?

      the all important hedonistic drug-taking element of the electorate who couldn’t find their way to a polling booth?

      @SOQ I’d take a more cynical view. I think future lockdowns are all but a foregone conclusion at this point.

      Boris is part of the same game, playing the foil for pushing for a lifting of all restrictions – but meanwhile there’s a concerted media campaign going on to seed the idea in the public mind that this action is reckless and to reinforce the conventional belief that these measures such as lockdowns and mask mandates are the only viable alternative when the reality is they are politicised, pseudo-scientific measures that lack efficacy.

      https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2021/07/05/stronger-covid-restrictions-could-needed-autumn-winter/
      ‘Government scientists have said “stronger” restrictions could be needed this autumn and winter, despite promises of an “irreversible” route out of lockdown.’

      The new biosecurity surveillance state can’t run smoothly while a sizeable portion of the population haven’t opted into the vaccine passport system. That’s the endgame here.

      As before, mass PCR testing can be used to inflate the perceived threat as an inevitable autumn/winter seasonal surge occurs. And added to that, an expected increase in hospital admissions as a consequence of the prior restrictions over the last year and a half could easily mean that many people in hospital for one thing get badged as a Covid case due to a positive PCR test. Also, any pathogenic priming from the Covid vaccines – as some experts have already warned about – will be blamed entirely on new strain(s) and the unvaccinated.

      All the polling indicates that most people in the UK want more/longer restrictions and think this is a bit wreckless

    I cannot wait to go dancing somewhere. Do they not require antigen tests before entering the nightclubs in the UK? Surely that will backfire with the more contagious delta variant? I think in Germany and Netherlands you’re always required to have a negative standard covid test or antigen test.

    News for all showing footage from St Anne’s park because there was nobody to film in the Phoenix Park yesterday!
