PM's press conference - 6 PM

[Green Cross Code Man]

But - WTF - a negative latera flow test will also be acceptable. Just think about that!
So, 'no mate, I haven't got a Covid pass, but I took a lateral flow test before I came out' will be replied to thus 'That's fine sir, come on in'. Or will you have to take along that little plastic thing showing just one bar, and people will have to take your word for it that the test was taken an hour or two ago, not last week?

Why oh why oh why..................................?

Why not have, "You must have a Covid pass to get in to venues. Full stop" - why does he have to say, "You must have a Covid pass - but if you haven't got one, a lateral flow test will do"?
Why not, "You must wear a mask in shops, buses, trains, etc." - why does he have to say, "You must wear a mask - but not if it makes you feel ucomfortable."

FFS! We know that the word 'must' sends cold shudders down the spine of our beloved PM [please note; I do sometimes use irony] but it's time he stiffened that bloody spine, shuddering or not, and learned to accept 'must' without having to immediately follow it with 'uness' or 'except'. Pathetic.

A bit harsh on people who cannot be vaccinated imo.

Probably won't even be as complex as having to offer the proof. You can probably just show the Govt text confirming the test was negative - whether it was or not because, of course, ****s can lie about it if they fancy going to the football regardless.

Can't really see how these measures are going to have any significant impact on the huge increase in Omicron cases.

I can tell from your posts that you will not be happy until we are all firmly back in lockdown, you may well get your wish but there will be push back this time

A piddling minority who most likely haven't been out for 2 years anyway.

Don't make excuses for the useless ****

Sorry, not a dig at you, just BJ and tory incompetence makes my piss boil

A very small minority, for whom special arrangements can be made (but not for people who just won't vaccinate).

To be clear - a LFT result then has to be recorded on the NHS website, and then the person gets a text / email and that is what is presented to the venue as confirmation. Or at least that is how it worked when the ‘test events’ were running before the July removal of restrictions, in theory along with an ID check like a driving license.

A pre-event test is arguably the safe thing to do whether you are jabbed or not - as jabbed folk are carrying and spreading this thing too - so being jabbed is not reassurance that the person entering the event is not carrying covid and potentially contagious.

BJ said take a test before you go to a party to check, and that is everyone jabbed or not.

What are you on about? Full of the milk of human kindness I see. I am extremely pro vaccine and wish more people would choose vaccination. I think it's a good idea not to overly generalize and that we should protect minorities though. I am not making excuses for anyone who doesn't have a good reason to vaccinate. I think it is in everyone's interest and a public duty. No need to be salty.

Twice he was asked about the other parties being investigated, both times he dodged the question.

He NEVER answers questions. He just replies with a load of spin. He really isn’t a fit and proper person to lead this country. Man of no integrity who lives in a different world to the rest of us.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

He’s whacked restrictions on the country and bringing in the idea of mandatory vaccine to divert attention away from a party.

****s the country to save his skin. Loool

When you take a LFT you can scan the QR code on the little plastic thing and upload the details to the gov website and get a text (or maybe email) confirming the result. It will also appear in your NHS records as you use your NHS number. That will have a date on it - so you won't be able to use it multiple times. Whether the checks on entry to the stadium will be diligent enough to check them properly is another thing!

It doesn't sa they won't follow the government ruling the LFTs are acceptable as an alternative.

Look at the hysteria here. We have all just been thrown under the bus to try and save Boris's neck. They had no intention of launching plan B. Apparently only 3 cabinet ministers supported it earlier this week. Low and behold as soon as he's up S creek on the party story plan B lands almost immediately. And people are actually falling for it.

I don't think that it is possible to check everyone at the Amex for their vaccine status. What about double the crowd at man u for instance. It is not practical.

Proof of a negative LFT test have been allowed at the Albion since the start of the season. As well as the Vaccine Pass.

I agree ... will be interesting to see what they put in place!

I was referring to the Sun article quoted rather than to any practices at The Amex (of which I have no knowledge or experience). Have they ever - and will they ever - check everyone properly?

Hopefully wearing masks in concourses will be much more policed and compliance improves. Does it also extend to wearing a mask on your seat??

How big is your mask?
