Yes it is dreadful reporting. Tory mouthpiece, cheerleader for Brexit.
If the news was reported factually, we wouldn't be where we are.
If you read the EU press you'd see things differently.
Being from the UK and reading a range of UK and EU press, I sometimes wonder if we're on the same planet!
The problem with social media is it reaffirms and polarises ones opinions, it takes effort to try and see the other side. A pointless effort most of the time. You just get shouted down by the usual suspects.

It does seem a bit of a joke that the EU is busy authorising 150 shipments of AZ vaccine to 29 none EU counties including the UK. When AZ then turn round and tell them, they can only supply 50% of what was ordered. This despite UK having it's own AZ manufacturing facility, why does it need still more from the EU?

U.K. vaccine program is becoming its “claim to fame”
Havent you said several times you dont ho out anywhere so you don't have to get close to anyone because you dont want yo catch it ?
Yes suspect the take up will get less as the age decreases , everyone I know wants the vaccine for travel ...NHS is onto all those over 56 now..... and 2 of our hubs have been shut for a week to "compact the queue" efficiently.
Didnt expect to get mine till third wk in March, had it today and date for 2nd dose in may, got to say it was very well organised and all the staff very cheerful, makes you proud of the ukNHS is onto all those over 56 now..... and 2 of our hubs have been shut for a week to "compact the queue" efficiently.

I will put my hands up to something of a change of heart. Czech Republic controlled the first wave incredibly well with hardly any cases. Hence, second wave has been huge there. During these last weeks, nearly every member of mrs Czechs family have had it. They test a lot there (Ive had no test at all, FIL has had at least 30!), she has an uncle close to 70, short and over 200kg with asthma, non have suffered with it
. Yep, I am firmly in the “storm in a tea cup” camp now.and yes, France still over reacting too, so no, there is nowhere to go and meet people anyway
I did start to get my doubts when my 101 year old aunt took it in her stride
It seems to be certain sectors that suffer, fat people and those with dark skin, saw a report the other day that said muslims/asians were 6% of Germany's population yet were over 50 % of those in ICU beds, in the UK it is this sector who are hardest to convince over the vaccineI will put my hands up to something of a change of heart.

Tbh, now, I feel somewhat ashamed of taking it so seriously
actually, I hadn’t twigged it untill this moment, all last year the wireless had a pandemic warning three times per hour. Of course, in the winter I don’t do that kind of tractor work but just noticed, no Covid broadcasts anymore

I tried to make a point a while back that seemed to go over your head...
I knew a few who died rallying, I had a couple of “ biggies” myself. It didn’t stop me rallying. I guess I’ve lived my life taking my chances
