I went a few weeks ago and got a table outside with my dad and my Mrs and son. After 2 hours and running up a £100 bill (there was food too) they were chasing us out the door as "we only had a 90 min booking"

Feccers.

Just been reported on Radio 5 that the vast majority of those being treated in hospital for Covid in the Bolton area are people that are eligible for a vaccination and had been invited to have one, but have refused it.
Matt Hancock just said the same in the commons. At least it proves that the vaccine works.

Spoils the enjoyment. I am going to leave it a week and let things calm down.

True.
Also proves that in a time of crisis such as this, when the whole country needs to pull together and act as one big community in order to get out of this mess, not everyone can be relied upon to do the right thing.


Sadly, thats been evident from the start of the crisis, and lack of any real enforcement for fear of offending the civil liberties crackpots just encouraged them

Went to the gym for my first Body Combat class (high intensity, non-contact martial arts moves done to fast music).

Knackered, but glad to be back doing it because I really need to work on my endurance before I start surfing again...!

Government warns of local lockdowns in areas where Indian variant is taking hold and vaccine uptake is lower...
https://news.sky.com/story/covid-19-local-lockdowns-and-delay-to-next-step-of-roadmap-cannot-be-ruled-out-minister-warns-12309673

:guitar Lock them down - lock them down - lock them down  :guitar
  May as well because it wont affect those "communities" as there are no pubs there and they carry on working in the sweat shops anyway. Every time its the same areas first to get locked down.

Been reading reports that magic grandpa has not taken his jab. Wonder if he has been listening to his brother.

What reports? Where? From whom? Just because someone "reports" something, doesn't make it true.

Go on then, have a look, have a search and tell me where he has said that he has had it. Just about every politician have made a thing about them getting the jab - Grandpa - nothing, not a single twitter post.   :book :pc

Well one 'politician' who has just had their first dose, is Cummings.
And it appears they've combined it with a truth serum.
Should be interesting  :lurk

So, because Jeremy Corbyn *hasn't* made a big deal of something (y'know, he doesn't tend to behave like "every other politician"), somehow this becomes "he hasn't had the jab" in some people's minds...  :rolleyes

Meanwhile you go for a classic "Burden of Proof" fallacy, demanding that I demonstrate that your unfounded assertion is wrong.

Why should he? He's just a backbench MP.
How many of the other 649 MPs have we heard from?

Firstly not all the mps are in any of the groups currently getting the vax.
 Also he is not just a backbench MP. He is a prominent Labour MP who's party is currently telling everyone else to get the vaccine. He is an opposition MP, if he believes the vaccine is not needed or is harmful then its his duty to say so and not cover it up.
   He still has his loyal following and speaks at various conferences and events, doing so unvaccinated seems irresponsible to me.
