And only in "exceptional circumstances" . These measures are supposed to be relaxed for the double vaccinated in August, but they are causing problems now. This is the Government pretending to do something about it whilst not actually doing anything. I suppose they could come up with some entirely legitimate pilot scheme where the Prime Minister and Chancellor just happen to be two of the randomly selected test subjects. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Bangles guy does that to people almost relentlessly, he gets quite frustrated that Nicola Sturgeon wont answer him, tbf she cant even have ‘an adult conversation’ so little chance of that. Hes had replies from Putin apparently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minor inconvenience is a wild take. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first guy is definitely suspect though. One thing throughout this time period I've found weird but not too surprising is the selfies as people are lying in a hospital bed, some people would have done this nonsense before but with covid being so common it's normalised it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both negative. My wife is obviously the plague carrier, I've half a notion to horse her out into the garden shed and paint a red cross on the door. All joking aside, she's nearly recovered, the vaccine is obviously doing its job (Astra Zeneca). 37 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the youngest grandchild, who hasn't been in contact with us for a fortnight, has also tested negative, so she must have a bug of some description. (She's running a very high temperature.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
