Zinger549 Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Another member of the tinfoil hat brigade no doubt. Quite a few people said we were going to have a lockdown a few weeks before the first one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I met him through my daughter who used to train at the same gym his children went to. Just now, Zinger549 said: Another member of the tinfoil hat brigade no doubt.

I'm totally fine with that as it really does not affect me one bit. I'll carry on doing my thing and you carry on doing your thing. 🙏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I say I've not as yet seen anything official to back it up but it came to me from the same person who predicted the 1st lockdown weeks before anything was said officially. 🤔 I really can't see it. From a purely economic point of view we can't afford it, from a social point of view we can't afford it, and it doesn't make sense to remove restrictions, as far as we expect them to be, on 19/07, only to re-introduce them 10 days later - does it really?

I agree with you. It makes no sense at all. I'm just passing on what I heard. I'm still looking for something to back it up and I hope I don't find anything. What I can't ignore is the accuracy of this bloke. He's barely put a step wrong since this charade began. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollingJ Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Is he the PMs Covid adviser? To be honest, would the government be dropping hints like they are if there was only going to be 10 days of freedom - I don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bold. The only part I don't agree with. I don't think the restrictions will be lifted on the 19th and if they are lifted it won't be many and even they will be reintroduced before winter. I've got absolutely everything crossed im wrong though. Just now, RollingJ said: Snipped.......

Apart from mask-wearing in establishments still subject to the rules - some of which, IMHO, are stupid - life seems to be back to normal. I spent a day in Manchester Thursday, and it was like a 'normal' day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't make your argument more valid by putting stuff like this. If anything you weaken your position people just end up ignoring you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could be hitting 50k or new cases by the end of the month. Then what? And why has the number of vaccinations dropped so much? I've heard some anecdotal stuff but has anyone in charge offered an opinion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
