Will certainly be another lockdown as Boris is power mad and it deflects the attention away from all the problems he has over things like the OP issue/ his farce of a speech at the CBI the other day/ the Migrant issue with France etc etc.
 
With 40,000 new cases a day, surely the bulk of the fudging population have had it by now?
Heard on the telly box in the last few days that it’s just turned 10 million cases, I though it would have been more, that’s less than one in six.
That said, I know very few who have had it, but then, I know a lot of farmers who work on their own, with family or a very small number of staff, the more folk you mix with must increase the chance of coming into contact with someone who has it.

Something that interests me. The thousands of illegal immigrants they pick up I'm the channel each week. Do they get tested for covid and isolated before being allowed into the country? Do they carry vaccine passports or any passports?

Can we afford another lockdown? I don't think so. The cracks are beginning to appear already.
No to all of the above!

They spread them around the country as quickly as possible.

Local town to me has just had a coach load turn up, they have kicked English people out of some council housing so they can house them everything paid/ new phones/ spending money each week for each of them etc etc.

No we cannot afford another lockdown but Boris etc do not care about the damage they cause, they can close the shops etc and people will have to comply but i think its very unlikely people will comply with not seeing family/ friends etc either in their houses or at parks/ beaches etc!

And if they do have another lockdown then they are admitting its pointless have the covid vaccine!

Most people that are now catching covid are getting it from two places....

Hospitals..
Schools....

Why should the we do what we're told!? When the government are welcoming all these illegals and distributing them around the country. There's hotels full of them in Aberdeen.

The whole things a shambles. It's do as I say, don't do as I do.

Government today announces that because of the seriousness of the situation anyone confirmed to have the new variant will have to self isolate for 10 days & anyone who has been in contact with them will also have to self isolate for 10 days even if they are fully vacinated, so far so good.
It also tells us that anyone who arrives in the UK at an airport, port or train station from abroad has to have a PCR test within two days, great, but this is only after they have hopped on a train, bus or taxi to get home, what about all the other people on those trains, buses or taxis that come in contact with possibly infected citizens, they will not know or self isolate & so it spreads!
Why no PCR test before they arrive rather than after when it's too bloody late!

Yep i know.

Take last Xmas, Boris and princess nut nuts broke the lockdown rules at that time and had her family/ friends over to 10 Downing street for Xmas day/ lunch...!

Been clear for a long time that there would suddenly be a new variant of covid announced by the Gov at this time.. just after the COP26 etc rubbish is over, all been pre planned months ago!

I thought the Scottish government was all in favour of welcoming these new enterprising Scottish citizens?

SA doctor who first alerted officials to the possible new strain thinks the uk is over reacting because nobody had been hospitalized over there with this new variant. It spreads far quicker but is less harmfull in her state anyway , she also believed the new variant was in the uk in larger numbers but hadnt been tested for because it was presumed to just be the delta strain. She did add that in 2-3 weeks the uk would have a better picture of its affects

Wife rung local

wife rung local vaccine place on a Friday afternoon was told both of us to go in before 7.15 we both got them 20mins total time there
We were harassed by text for booster, which we had last week in a short time. It would've been quicker but a big fat woman in front decided she was scared of needles. We were both laughing - I reckoned push her in the crush & get Bulldogs on her, Mrs said just stick it in her fat backside when she's not expecting it.

Then out of the blue I got several track & trace texts, my name had become Trisha & I had to isolate 😳
Eventually they rung me & I had to explain I wasn't an LGBT weirdo, just Trisha had given them my number instead of hers ?

Pre planned 🙄. Planning would require competence that is seldom seen! Boris isn’t even on speaking terms with at least one other world leader, hardly strong base for a multinational planned conspiracy. Maybe Borris has had MI5 agents fake the new variant in a dozen different countries... or maybe you are in a tin foil hat?

Sorry but you are wrong. They get tested then sent to a reception centre
