Again, all a complete misconception. Nobody who got vaccinated did so because they were hoodwinked by the superior intellect of Boris and chums. We did it because that’s what the overwhelming majority of doctors, scientists and their peer reviewed studies indicate is the best course of action and we aren’t arrogant or obstinate enough to think we know better. Completely false, it’s the other way around. I don’t know which Facebook blog you read than from but it’s more like that percentage of UNvaccinated people in hospital. 12% of adults making up 70% of hospitalisations. Bravo and a slow clap to them. As for vaccine passports, none of that would be needed at all if people would just get vaccinated.

Because they were being extra, extra, extra cautious because they know if there's any hint of health risks associated with the vaccine - even if they're as likely as a blood clot from eating a burger or catching a flight - people like you will use it as 'evidence' against them.

That's total conjecture and based on no information at all. Just a wild assumption. The infection level has fluctuated around a similar for about 4 months now, despite 12% of adults being completely unvaccinated. If everyone WAS vaccinated, the chances are the R number would drop significantly and it may well go away, like every other disease we've successfully vaccinated against. Complete myth. Anti vaxxers like to see themselves as some sort of freedom fighter, the only ones who are awake to the real information and willing to stand up to some sort of tyrannical government. The only people living in fear are those who are clinically vulnerable - people who's life anti-vaxxers are unwilling to help save because their 'rights' are more important. Everyone else is bored. Bored of this virus and bored of the fact that we are facing more restrictions because hospitals are filling up with unvaccinated idiots.

Willy is obviously going to start but I wouldn't get my hopes up over him being anything more than a mediocre stand in for McC. He's 40 years old and without a club for a reason.

I’ll do that if you go down to your local Covid ward and chat to the people on medical ventilators who are young and healthy, did their own research and didn’t get vaccinated because they weren’t sheep.

Large pharmaceutical companies in wanting their arse to be water tight against any form of litigation shocker. It’s evidence of absolutely nothing and so is that video.

It’s not experimental. It’s passed every regulatory standard required and has proven to be hugely effective worldwide. There is no ‘tyranny’, nor is there an ‘apartheid’, which both seem to be popular buzzwords for people who’ve never lived through any kind of tyranny or apartheid.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-59589775 An interesting take on the 'what about smokers' argument.

It's so sh*t that it was clearly only ever going to look lame and cynical. Boris and his spin doctors would have known that and if anything I'd say it's somewhat unfortunate for them. Given choice they probably would have preferred to wait until next week so it DOESN'T look like a sh*te attempt at a diversion.

Storm Barra is a distraction from JWP's awful cross-field pass. Doesn't mean anyone is going to just forget about it.

Bingo. I see a lot of people who are clearly anything but distracted saying, "this is a distraction!"

So you’d basically do exactly the same as the government? We are ‘living with this’ and ‘getting on with our lives’. There haven’t been any notable restrictions in this country for six months now. We’re taking a cautious approach to a new variant who’s effects and transmissibility are not fully understood. The booster is a vaccine, I don’t understand what you mean. No, that’s what has been recorded so far, that isn’t to say it isn’t dangerous. We’re taking preventative measures, whilst we gather more data, which is the sensible approach. This story is ongoing and will be so for weeks. They’ve been burned for waiting too long to lockdown and close borders in the past, they’re hardly going to do that again. As bad as the timing looks, I don’t think they’ve done anything wrong regarding Omicron, so far. The Xmas party is a different topic.

Just out of interest, what would your policy be if you were running the country?

How can it be a distraction tactic, when it’s a variant first recorded in a foreign country being reported by media channels outside of government control.

So, the South Africans and the BBC are working together to help cover up for the Tories?

Any particular posts you’re concerned about? We haven’t had anything reported that’s been deemed homophobic as such.

I can just imagine all the senior Tories having a secret plan to kill off elderly voters.

Unless this is an exceptional bluff, he's not MLG.

Not including any replays and neutral venues, we’ve been draw away in 16 of our last 22 cup ties, over the last 5 years. Swansea - A Chelsea - A Sheff Utd - A Newport - A Bournemouth - A Wolves - A Arsenal - H Shrewsbury - H Brentford - H Spurs - H Huddersfield - H Man City - A Pompey - A Fulham - A Derby - A Leicester - A Everton - A Brighton - A Wigan - A West Brom - A Watford - H Fulham - A

Good point, I hope he doesn’t pull out at the last minute.

Everton clear the ball up the pitch in the sixth minute of stoppage time and the ensuing 50-50 melee almost gets them a goal. Perhaps we could show JWP a video of that. Edit: On Saturday Aubameyang slams that last kick of the match right in the bottom corner.

The logic being presumably that Godfrey was looking in the other direction and couldn’t possibly have know Tomiyasu’s head would be just above his torso.

How in the name of Jehovah is that not a red card?!
