I mean i cant give an opinion either way. I dont follow UK politics. I know wh9 the Prime Minster is and who the party in power is and thats about it All i know tho is that once a party is disliked by someone sometimes its impossible for them to do any right in their eyes and when u said cuz they werent the ones giving the shot in the arms i just imagine u still criticizing them if it did go wrong like they are dammed if they do damed if they dont kinda thing But dont take my comment or observation too seriously. I dont know squat about the UK so i wasnt being TOO serious Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one issue for me is the tories basically saying "We ToLd YoU tO sTaY hOmE!1!" when they offered British people half price food and acting like the blame was 100000% on us. Yes people chose to go out but we were also encouraged to go out by our "leaders" and eat then later blamed when we got a rise in cases. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only problem with the Eat Out To Help Out was it only applicable Monday to Wednesday. If it was available 7 days in the week, transmission would be far lower Together You And I!

So I would put all my sales through the government portal at the end of the week and they would pay the difference, it helped MASSIVELY my restaurants were full (limited capacity still) everyday it was available. It was a nationwide scheme advertised everywhere, it was a real boost for our industry. But it almost certainly boosted community spread and was more than likely instrumental in the tier system and restrictions being reintroduced.

I don't wanna compare BJ to Trumpet because he's on a different level but Trumpet will never do anything good in the eyes of democrats the same way the tories will never do any good in the eyes of labour (I'm not 100% sure if labour is the uk version of democrats please correct me) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it is currently trending at 67-85% efficacy on 1 dose and 2nd dose in 12 weeks then makes it even better. The Oxford vaccine has been tested at 12 weeks interval between shots and shown to be the most effective way of producing immune response. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't use those percentages as the truth I'm just using them to explain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
