If this vaccination thing is going to continue indefinitely we really do need to free up our NHS staff and train up totally different separate vaccination teams, creating new jobs in the process.

Javid can stick his restrictions up his arsenal…..we’ve been triple jabbed and have been lied too !!

That means lockdown looms.

Enforce the masks, vaccines and boosters for those who don't before expecting those who do to do more.

But didn't the Death Secretary say that 'lifting of restrictions is irreversible'?

I'm sure sajidjavid could guarantee we wouldn't like them and they'd do more harm than good!
