Re: POLL Will you take the Vax - darrsi - 05-01-21
The main reason for the recent rise in Positive cases is because of the unmasked Xmas shoppers, which was then why London was rightly closed down.
But your Tiers 1 to 3 still had the chance to go out for the Boxing Day sales as well. Add those to the Xmas Day family free for all people, and lo and behold, this week we're getting record numbers of new Positive cases. :rolleyes

The main difference is the way it is being promoted. T4 has always had the "stay at home" element but people ignored it. Now it will be law allowing fines to be issued if you do not have a reasonable excuse for being outside and schools shut. Other than that, it is T4 really.

Why are the news channels giving Capitan Hindsight prime time TV to broadcast "His reply" to the Prime-ministers public announcement. It just sounded like an election broadcast, free of charge.

Oh come on!
It's not as if they had known for at least three weeks that there was a more infectious strain of the virus going around and they had been warned by scientists for a fortnight that insisting schools were safe and that children should go back would be a really bad idea, so it came as a total surprise to them and they had to change their minds about threatening schools with legal action for not opening just 24 hours before and, instead, had tell them all to close... :rolleyes

No, sounds like incompetence, dithering, vacillation and (wilful) ignorance.
Oh, and I'll treat your Straw Man argument follow up with the contempt it deserves.

[/quote]Its not a straw man or anything else.I had to google "vacillation" :lol If as you say they knew for at least 3 weeks and the scientists were also telling them and yet they still wanted to carry on opening the Schools. I don't believe even they could be that incompetent so the only thing left is purposefully trying to spread covid.

Quote: So that sounds like you are saying the new strain does not exist and was made up as a excuse to change Christmas plans so that they would not be accused of "another U turn".Nope. What I'm saying is that the government is looking for any scapegoat to cover up its own incompetence.
Of course the new strain is real. The scientists told them about it weeks ago. Just when the government was urging children back to school.
Johnson doesn't like giving out bad news, and nothing is ever his fault.

I think they're just too stupid and arrogant to believe what they're being told.
