This is a contradiction.

That was not the post you quoted originally hence the confusion.

It is not a contradiction. Wanting something to fail is not the same as thinking it will.  The fact some people would have said 'Boris is a useless like we said' is not the same thing.

I think and fear I know the trajectory that we are travelling, and we are going to experience more extended lockdowns despite the vaccine roll out, this means more mental health issues, suicides, longer waiting lists leaving folk in pain, many cancer patients not being treated, more undiagnosed, not to mention the financial hit we are taking, yes 120k have died ( sadly I’ve lost 2 Auntys myself)  kids losing opportunities and without schooling or contact with friends, most folk who die are are at the end of life, flu deaths cause 10s of thousands of deaths but we don’t lockdown and and we hear very little about it in the media, yes I understand that we must protect the NHS from overloading but we cannot allow the government to be unchallenged and continue this for 1 day more than is necessary and I want to see a brave government make an early call for easing of restrictions , my latest timeline would be once all over 50s are vaccinated just the once.

This is completely wrong. 

More cases means less treatment for other complaints. We’ve been presented with precisely this fact from the off, on a daily basis. It isn't even debatable. 

So claiming lockdowns will cause it, is mistaken.

Yes mate, I find a lot of people let their 'side' affect their reaction.

Earlier in the thread there was a link about medicines being destroyed because of delays at the border. People on both 'sides' were more concerned about pointing the blame than the absolute tragedy of live saving drugs being destroyed

I can be guilty of that at times although I’m more tired of the constant sniping than anything else really.
 

I just want life back to normal and talking about normal stuff

Once over 50s (maybe even 60s) are jabbed, theres very few needing hospitalisation

Its not even debatable 

 

Im old school and would never go to the docs for happy pills,but ive never been as down as i am now

I agree with the principle of what you are saying but for me the absolute imperative has to been not having to go back into lockdown again. Let's just get it done properly. 
I hear you on the happy pills I ain't worked since March 2019 and am basically stuck in house with missus 2 kids and step daughters boyfriend. I fucking hate it.( I have even resorted to getting a job) 

But can you imagine if come mid summer numbers are going up again and it starts over ?

There’s no guarantee of not going back into lockdown, if, for example, because of some new variant.

Yes, this really, if it means a few more weeks now to never having to go into lockdown again, then so be it

Which becomes more likely the more cases you have.

See this one out after that I’m done 

There’s a horrible irony in the fact that those countries where people are less willing to follow rules or advice because it’s infringing their civil liberties are the same countries that are the last to get their freedoms back.

This ain’t living, it’s got to be last lock down, I’d almost prefer to be dead than live under these restrictions for much longer. If folk want to live in fear and stay inside then do just that, let the rest of us get on with our lives.

I don’t live in fear. I don’t stay inside.
I’ve spent more time outside and read more books than I ever have. 

I and millions of others, across the world have had to change their lifestyle in ways they never would have expected. Some have actually died. Some have actually grieved.

We are nearly there. A couple of months won’t make that much difference to people’s lives.

It needs to be sooner rather than later, let’s hope that Johnson comes good with the timeline of unlocking, folk need some light at the end of the tunnel, in 2 months potentially we will have vaccinated about 40 million people, we are well into the very low risk category, restrictions should be easing well before then.

Why don't you both run away from home together?

Both statements read like sommat off some fifteen year old kid's Instagram...

I can only presume somebody making such a glib statement ('almost rather be dead...') has never personally been close to death.

Aye probably a bit glib, frustration getting the better of me, anyhow with 40 million vaccinated I’m wondering what excuse will be used to justify more restrictions and how long folk will put up with them. Seems to me some folk becoming brainwashed to this being the norm and will continue to justify it.

Chin up Mounts. Frustration getting to lots of people at the moment. We’re nearly there. 

Nowt we can do about it, just swallow and follow the rules.
