'Truth is the first casualty of war' and make no mistake, the government has treated this a a war with its disinformation machine running in top for the past 16 months - no argument, no dissension, no alternatives. 'We' have taken pity and shown sympathy with nations that have lived under those rules - and yet the GB and GM Sheeple have sat back and the only question asked from Johnson and Mr Toad has been: 'we've bent over so how far, please sirs?' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The moral and ethical contract between the Government and the public has been seriously damaged, here and in the UK. The lessons from the delays, not closing borders and past and recent events demonstrate the hypocrisy, division and general contempt for the public and have undermined even the best attempts to convince us that what they now say is truthful. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was reported elsewhere too, but apparently censorship happened and it wasn't. I also find it amusing that apparently everyone else is the sheep, not the people who went to a meaningless protest which was organised by people working for ex-pat millionaires. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slinkydevil Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 The conspiracy sheep always say that about the BBC, because they didn't see it reported, because they don't watch it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTeapot Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 They probably think it should be The Most Important Thing on the news, but it isn't really. I don't think I've ever been to London when there wasn't a protest on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Police officers on far less money have been told that if they get employment there they will not be able to return to the Constabulary at any time!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Tatlock Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 The reality is though, with 2000 signed to visit in the first groups allowed back and UK infection rates running around 500 per 100K and increasing - then we are pretty much guaranteed that at least 10 of that group alone will be bringing it here with them - likely more as there will be couples and families travelling together infecting each other on the way. Add that to that the mix of schools still open and no social distancing at all here etc. and lots of people here still yet to be second jabbed, then I suspect we will be up to 300 cases relatively fast. I still think they went a month too early - I'd have waited till the schools broke up and far more of the over 50s (and over 40s) had been second jabbed - particularly not having any distancing rules in this interim period. The schools are where it will spread fastest. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris4652009 Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 I wonder if its safe to book to travel across for a week vacation with my wife at end of Aug...or do we think the IOM will be back on lockdown by then? Anyone got a crystal ball????? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nom de plume Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Why would we be locked down again? Young adults & children develop very mild symptoms if they present any at all. Our at risk groups have all been doubled dosed & the majority of our over 40’s at least single dosed, over 50’s almost all doubled. The admission rates in hospitals across are on the upward curve but only ever so slightly. Younger, fitter people in for shorter periods. Start making plans to get on with your lives or hide yourselves away. 20,000 new infections a day in the U.K. whilst 250,000 > 500,000 are receiving the vaccine DAILY! People need to get a grip. Never in all my life have I witnessed so much bed wetting. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never in all my life have I witnessed so much bed wetting. I just feel that there will be a knee jerk reaction (despite the "we must learn to live with covid" line) to the inevitable surge and iom is going to shut up shop again. I'm very much living my life, was at a bike festival with 7000 people at the weekend...all had to produce and report a clear covid test beforehand...lots of sanitizer stations dotted around etc...I felt very safe I just feel that the IOM Gov are going to choke when it comes to actually "living with covid"............... they will bow to pressure from the minority that want to live in isolation Edited June 29, 2021 by chris4652009 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the stinking enigma Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Your definition of bed wetting is anyone not dressed as a red indian chanting some half wit slogan. Maybe you need to re-calibrate? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
