'None of us want lots of draconian measures'

Defence Secretary Ben Wallace tells Sophy Ridge 'I don't think now is the time to throw that away' over COVID progress.

Same words and phrases; 'unprecedented', 'sacrifices', 'light at the end of the tunnel', 'route out', 'roadmap', etc...

“But we’re going to impose them anyway”!!

[giuseppegiacomoni]

We are in a Police State and as individuals our freedom has been denied us and we are in a dark place now.

[davidsturrock]

Aye right then !!! Seems to me we are all at fault here allowing this bullshit to go on

[muckraker]

What SCARES me is when they say “Don’t worry about these broad powers we are giving ourselves, we can always vote to remove them...”

[dogpoofairy]

And in six months time they'll be another six months, then another, then another, then another...

What sacrifices have politicians made??? I was a very active and happily busy person before covid and now I like most (and we are the lucky ones) exist in a loop of home, work, home, work and the occasional supermarket! I've lost so much money in the last twelve months but count myself lucky to have kept one of my jobs. Have they lost money? I don't care about holidays but I'd love to be able to do something, ANYTHING other than stare at the TV at the weekend!

Surprisingly politician doesn't want to stop kick backs to friends and family.

I will post my comment again since first comment got deleted 😩 He was right the first time when he said tens of thousands and not hundreds of thousands 🤷‍♂️

This country needs to get back to normality! We cannot & must not continue to be held to ransom by a virus. The approach by this government has inflicted real damage to people’s livelihoods and the economy, let alone the mentality issues caused by the lockdowns!! I have always felt that we should look after the vulnerable and the elderly and everyone else continue as normal. In respect of the NHS they were already having problems coping before COVID came onto the scene!!

I live in the US. Was an early wearer of masks, since March. Never caught the virus, got vaccinated. Can I come to the UK for a 10 day holiday without quarantine?

Cheer up ladies and gents... its only been a year. Last pandemic the world saw lasted for 3 years. Six months is nothing in comparison.

[DuBmonkey]

Really starting to just hate politicians. They all sounds the same and all have terrible haircuts, in this case no hair.

First control, second rename. Watch out the woke will be looking to rename Manchester to gender non specific Chester. A woeful future awaits if no fight back.
