Exactly why is it good? Firstly, I know Mounts has only just heard thus but this has been a huge campaign since the start of vaccinations to get ethnic minority groups in London to take up the vaccine as it is a big problem. And the main reason it is is that many of these groups have a huge distrust of the government and therefore reject being told by them to do anything, and whilst I don't agree in this case, I don't blame them inherently for not trusting our political parties or authorities which have, in many cases, historically let them down. 

So yes, it's a huge problem but it's again not as simple as Mpunts makes out

I’ve not made out anything!  Just pointed out Khan has called out various groups that haven’t been getting the vaccine in London.

Cabinet meeting

We’ve had two different women do the positive LFT then negative PCR thing recently, one of them it’s happened to twice 3 weeks apart. They don’t know whether they are coming or frigging going.

I know it can happen but tis more than a bit odd unless they made a complete balls of doing the PCR all 3 times.

Yeah, it'll happen -  27th onwards. Leaky, leaky, leak, leak to get us all ready.

It's to stop new years eve.

They have a huge distrust in the vaccine, it's no different in Manchester.

It's not just the vaccine, that's the point.

Happened to my sister yesterday, three positive LFTs, negative PCR. It's very odd.

Agree, wasn’t lockdown to prevent NHS becoming overwhelmed?  we’ve currently got 800 in ICU with Covid (99% will be unvaccinated) no where near overwhelmed, this has to stop.

I know a few at my place of work who are of carribean dissent, and they all openly admit they don't trust the vaccine and its not in their culture to be vaccinated, none of them i know are not having it for political reasons.

Oh good another personal accdote to highlight a much wider issue. Love it.

OK, yes there might be an increased distrust of the vaccine, this is also compounded by a distrust of government messaging. 

As I say, it's not as simple as, "them folks just don't like the medicine."

I've a funny feeling that this circuit breaker won't be adhered to quite as strictly by many.

Circuit break the unvaccinated, prove you’ve had the jab and crack on.

And if its kept to just 2 weeks I'll eat my (tinfoil) hat

Just now, Mr Grey said:

I'd say bollox to people saying they are not having the vaccine because of politics, that just an excuse imo.

Anyhow, tbh i don't have a problem with them not having it, its their choice. 

But that choice is directly impacting you now and its impact will increase significantly shortly. That’s a problem and one that we shouldn’t have to suffer. 

[Spider]

Are they shutting the pubs?

Our order was a shit show yesterday. Accepting substitutes was a rookie error on my part. It was like Ray Charles did a supermarket sweep

impossible to action

Absofuckinglutely

Dont defend folk then piss and whine when they cause a lockdown.

Its fucking ridiculous.

Fuck antivaxxers. Fuck their choices, get vaxxed or go and live in the sea.

The worlds changed. Tough shit. Mandatory.

And you can have your opinion, of course. I'd say it's a bit simplistic and doesn't help getting jabs in arms.

Really? We was there earlier this month and I would say 80%+ was wearing one.

No surprise it spreads like fuck in London though with every fucker crammed on tubes and buses.

Nah it was like every other person. I couldn’t really believe it, but at the same time walking past bars and restaurants and they were rammed. So is it any wonder

I was joking

It's a fair point, but there was always going to be a small percentage of people not opting to have the vaccine.

Been triple jabbed, triple lockdowned and we are still being fucked over by PM Whitty and Friends.

Yes we are being fucked over. But your blame is misdirected pal
