Off Topic London Calling: Summer Holidays Abroad 2021 in doubt?

I was watching BBC the other morning and they kept asking different lorry drivers if they were struggling to get through with all the new paperwork all of them said no no problem, you could see it was pissing them off because it hadn’t gone to plan see the beeb haven’t been back again.

 

All the scare tactics haven't come to fruition. There's some hardcore remain voters that I know who are now trying to hide their disappointment that there's been no carnage and everything is looking positive.

We knew what we were voting for

 

Aye it’s Boris’s fault the twat, they will be on when they get up blaming him for the trouble in America.

 

Comparisons have already been made on that thread

 

I've just had the second gang of lads this week that have to self isolate - 6 men off self-isolating due to symptoms so far this week, 2 lads having 4 weeks off and shielding due to existing condtions and all I get from the Main Contractors is that it's not acceptable and to replace them.

Replace them with what? Not like I have a loads of skilled roofers sitting around waiting for me to call them to go into work

 

I feel for you mate some people are clueless.

 

Comparisons are valid, blame isn't.

 

I see we’ve vaccinated more people here than anywhere else. He’s a bugger that Boris but I’ve heard he’s a nice character

 

I am certainly not one of Bonko's cheerleaders (even though I voted for Brexit, I reckon he is a buffon, ((not the goalkeeper))... having reacted rather than being proactive in dealing with Covid, let's see how quickly the vaccine gets in arms..as a yardstick

 

I’m the same as you mate, but I’ve just seen this quote on face book sums the Boris haters up perfectly
Copied and pasted from another post..

What Boris should really have said !!
‘So, here we go again. I’m on your tv telling you things are going to be **** for a while. And yes that’s what I’m doing. I’m stopping you from going out, from seeing your friends and loved ones. You think that makes me a bad person. But you know what; this job isn’t easy. All I’m doing it trying to please you lot and stop you all dying at the same time. I give you rules, you break them. I ease things a bit, you take the piss. You are all a bunch of ungrateful selfish human beings and I’m now at the point where I’m only inflicting more rules because you idiots are putting ridiculous pressure on the nhs, by ignoring the things I have asked you nicely to do. You all think you are a scientist, doctors, experts. You aren’t. Neither am I. But I am taking advice from the best in this country and doing my best to please you all. So stop being so selfish.. yes it’s boring, it’s getting old, but it won’t go away if you all continue to throw your toys out of your pram. Grow up. Take some responsibility for yourself and your so called loved ones and do as you are asked!!’

 

Buffoon

It takes about 30 seconds - no need for a yardstick, a syringe is much better.

 

Agreed. The PM is entirely blameless, as are the administration, and most of the fault for the handling of this pandemic lies at feet of the common man, woman and child.

 

I wouldn’t agree with that mate more the selfish man selfish woman and forget the child.

 

Three million little arseholes went to school the other day and spread the disease around against our great leader's wishes.

Let's have it right and put the blame where it ought to be.

 

I just love sarcasm

 

I was going for Jonathan Swift type satire. But sarcasm will do.

I'm just pleased I didn't have to present 'a modest proposal'.

 

I think he was told it was safe for them to go from the Uks chief medical officer obviously wrong but I can imagine the flak if he ignored him.

 

The Father in Law (89) was up ready and about to set off to get his jab this morning when he got a phone call advising that his appointment had been cancelled, no explanation just cancelled.
It would appear from the news that the explanation may be that the supply of the vaccine did not turn up!

Up, organise, brewery, piss - oh you get the picture

 

Blames the scientists when he's wrong, claims the credit when they're right ...

... it's a winning system.

 

Nick Hancock had the same problem today
