Boris Johnson to introduce Covid Passports!

a reply to: zatara

Strange they just released a news story today on the BBC that this virus can now live for 28 days on some surfaces up from 72 hrs ? bye bye imports

a reply to: stonerwilliam

Up to 28 days on things like mobile phones and cash.

That's me buggered....I'm cash only!

Is this a deliberate step towards the cashless society many of us are dreading?

Even if not, how on earth are many small businesses going to survive?

Another consideration is charities: How much do they depend on the tins in pubs and shops etc?
I put lots of my loose change in these boxes.....I've barely put a penny in since March.

All forms of government have their short comings Kenzo down to the fact that the few wish to control the many.

Democracy in no different there and is simply a prison where one cannot see the bars.

That being said its the best, or at least most desirable, form of governance, Humanity has devised.

People like to think they have a say or are in control, but its all illusory.

The reality of the world being a different kettle of fish where monies and power are the colour of the day.

Hope in one hand and crap in the other my friend, I'm sure you ken which mitt will fill up first.

I was talking about this with a post guy at the depot one morning i went to collect a parcel when this all started , If i was Chinese i would be licking the mail and spitting on it just to make sure there love for us Brits is that strong , yet none of those guys are /were dying and they were doing 500 + parcels a day from China .

I actually like this contactless payment on my card as every where takes it now but i do pull money out of the hole in the wall once a week when i go to the shop but i have the early stages of Dementia so i am hopeless with change and house keys and the cashline card and forgetting the dog is at the shop

But joining the dots in all this Covid thing will take this country back to the rationing of the 40-50s , i can remember my grandparents showing me their book and telling me how little they got per week to survive on until 1958 , i am glad i do not have kids or am a young guy now

Were screwed

COVID 19 no a scam mate, if in doubt take a look at any one of our old folk's homes that have been decimated by the disease.

One of my family works at a OAP home and all is good I can remember following that story of MH17

There are fears the cure for Aids could have been lost with 100 of the “best and brightest” scientists and researchers on board Malaysia Airlines flight MH17.

www.independent.co.uk... html

I recall the headlines one got on the plane shouting happily we found the cure for AIDS/TB
and all those holistic docs committing suicide with the double tap makes me go mmmm

I need to get out more andy

In the UK it’s looks as if flu and Covid numbers are being combined. We’re heading into normal winter flu season and combined with flu vaccinations for all, this obfuscation should really help with the fear porn & hysteria.

Have to say it does not seem to have been on my light reading schedule back then.

I will be happy with a scenario in the future where Boris is not PM put it that way.

Im not sure where i was in 2010 that much nevermind what i read. LoL

Lol.
There are many things online from many years ago.
Surprisingly.....I did not read it in 2010....I read it recently....within the last 6 months.

New measures coing in to force today - I wonder if 'passports' will be part of it.

Seems we're getting a Hunger Games like zoning of the country, with some areas being more free than others.
The North of the country is expected to be hit the hardest with a 'very hight risk' status - most facilities shut and no socialising allowed.

Govt is out of control - we're living through facism.

a reply to: stonerwilliam

I know about 4 people who work in our care homes and a few others that are mobile carers.

I also know Doctors and nurses thats work in these facilities and hospitals.

"All good" is not a description i ever herd wielded about when COVID 19 was at its peak, certainly not in the care homes.

Poor old souls were dropping like flies down to the fact that the hospitals were dumping all the OAP with the disease back into the carehomes, whilst refusing to admit others that became infected in these homes into the hospitals.

I think we all need to get out more stonerwilliam, but if we are going anywhere with large groups of people a mask is probably a good idea, at least for the time being.

Nicely going Boris plans in UK eh ?

a reply to: Kenzo

So what if they dont have a phone?

Far as im aware you can't put apps on devices that you don't have.

Edit: should probably add the guy is being an idiot asking the woman to remove her mask and threatening to show them on social media.

Facebook stunt, the Man pretty much states as much.

Also this is the ASDA cafe, its the same with Greggs, McDonald's, KFC or anywhere else that you can sit in to eat.

I was in ASDA this morning.....things were just as per normal, well the 'new normal'.

Bollocks.

a reply to: Freeborn

I started watching it i thought the dude may actually have a point but its all about the Facebook kudos to that nutter.

I'm thinking as well what kind of Man treats Woman like that???

Bet he's all head down canny say boo to a goose where other blokes are concerned. LoL

Also nothing out of place in the ASDA in our area nether, its because its the cafe.

a reply to: UKTruth

Govt is out of control.....

The government is incompetent.

It is out of its depth, lacks any sort of cohesion, is reactive rather than proactive and has a scatter gun approach to everything.

Its getting to the point where people just won't believe anything the government says - I got to that point donkey's years ago - and will just do as they see fit.

What happens then?
Police invading peoples homes?
People grassing their neighbours up?
The Army on the streets?

Hyperbole?
Maybe, but.......?

a reply to: Freeborn

It has a name...COMMUNISM .


The idiocy of have to give your name and number when eating/drinking in a café/restaurant in UK , if that is the rule there ?

a reply to: andy06shake

I wasn't going to comment on the guy taking the video.

The man is a complete knobhead.
Regardless of the rights or wrongs of his argument his attitude to ordinary people just trying to do their jobs was bang out of order.
He's trying to belittle and intimidate people, people on minimum wage trying their best to provide for their families.

All for Farcebook views and Twatter likes.

If I'd have been there I think I might have been tempted to knock the #ing bellend out.

a reply to: Kenzo

Well if you pay for your food with a credit or debit card the point is pretty moot i suppose.

Not suggesting i dont think its draconian as feck all the same.

a reply to: Freeborn

Im thinking a twatting may have been on the cards myself. LoL

Even the other customers were not up for his nonsense.

a reply to: andy06shake

True, and they are really wanting to ban all cash ...
