I’m merely using Pierre’s description of vaccine passports that have been introduced without some of the prophesied controversy, if however too late to be effective.
I suppose the police here are alright unless you are an ethnic minority, a striking coal miner, speak with an Irish accent while carrying a table leg or protest against an illegal hunt but I digress...
