It’s a good practice run for the Autumn boosters though.

I know you don’t like your holidays in Europe but Old Boy has Benidorm he wants to get to.
It's got nothing to do with 'freedom day', mask mandates, social distancing, or anything else. Nor is it British exceptionalism, as the hard data proves - the UK is one of several nations that have been extremely good at getting their vaccination programmes moving, and progressing at speed. That it practically chokes you to say so is just a bit sad.
