201....... from millions. Long Covid is certainly an issue, not understood yet for a small % of those infected.

Come out from behind the couch.

Remember what you said a year ago...

On the one hand if a large section of the population have a mechanism(ie vaccination) that would allow them to travel more freely, including abroad, why shouldn't that happen? On the other it may take so long to set up, by that time most people should have been vaccinated by that time.


An issue will be fake documentation, whatever method is used. Too many selfish idiots will want to get around the safety precautions.

If you want to hide away, with your tin foil hat, go for it, and leave the sane ones among us to get on with our lives.

I think the term "Nazi State" & "Tin-foil hat" is highly offensive.


To me it seems the only people who use this object to the rules that are in place and want freedom without a care for anyone.


I, for one, could happily say fuff the rules and hug my family, but as my niece works in Asda and most people ignore social distancing is at high risk, so hugging her could put my dad at risk, and I've lost one parent this year don't wish to lose another.

I hope they aren't relying on the blue vaccination cards to prove vaccination for foreign holidays. They don't exactly look unforgeable/untradeable.

Don't know why people are so desperate to go abroad anyway. Surely we've got the 'bestest' country in the world !

We should alow the chavsters to go anyway, and leave the UK to those that appreciate it in summer. Just don't let them back in

If it gets more people “out from behind the couch” as Pierre puts it then it’s already a done deal. It’s how they sell it that’s the question.

Well I, for one, would shop in businesses that require some kind of vaccine passport, over anyone that doesn't.



This would make shops about £2,500 in the last year rather than Amazon.


Without Amazon I would have struggled.

That's for culture ! Not a sunbed and lager, which is as far a lot of Brits get.

I wasn’t wrong, it may not have been “the” flu, which in itself if a vague term as the flu changes annually, but it was, and is “a” flu.

So what’s your point?

Fine, be offended.

No, just proportionality.

I, for one, could happily say fuff the rules and hug my family, but as my niece works in Asda and most people ignore social distancing is at high risk, so hugging her could put my dad at risk, and I've lost one parent this year don't wish to lose another.

And? I don’t see what that position adds to the discussion.

It’s not going abroad that is the issue, vaccination certificates could quite easily be a requirement for foreign travel, no issue there.

Domestically, though it is a non-starter.

It’s a lot of money if you aggregate it.

I’d spend more time and money in venues that aim to filter the crowd. Otherwise I’ll spend more time and money in the garden.
