Lamia Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 I have stupidly been listening to the BBC over the last few weeks and in the last few days they seemed to be pushing "should we not be stopping large events" now we are getting "its terrible that they have stopped big events".

None of this making your own decisions and taking responsibility for your own actionsĀ Totally agree, I wish I could drink petrol then drive at 125mph outside a school while not wearing a seatbelt, why can't I make my own decisions.

phart Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 To be fair it is a blow to the hospitality industry. They are in the business of making money and they are being hamstrung from doing so. So of course they are going to not like it. Sturgeon has made moves that will ultimately damage her, but is doing them for what she believes is a "greater good". Same with WElsh dude.

phart Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Dont watch what they say/grift watch what they do. They're just trying to make money off the gullible. Vaccine Skeptic Robert Kennedy Jr. Asked to Head Trump 'Vaccination Safety' Committee https://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=200826 Ā Guests invited to a holiday party at the home of the leading anti-vaxxer Robert F Kennedy Jr were urged to be vaccinated or tested for Covid-19 because, Kennedy said, he is ānot always the boss at my own houseā Ā Speaking to Politico, which reported the request before the party in California last week, Kennedy said his wife, the actor Cheryl Hines, was behind it. He also said no effort was made to check if guests had been vaccinated or recently tested. Amid widespread criticism, Doug Heye, a Republican operative, wrote: āThe olā blame-the-wife-for-wanting-people-to-be-safe-when-youāre-an-anti-vaxxer move.
