You missed out standing up in a pub requires a face covering, sitting down, with no more than five others, does not. I got told off for “vertical drinking” (that’s standing up to you) at Doncaster race course, literally in the middle of acres of outdoor space. I was father of the bride at a wedding where it was illegal to have more than 30 attendees, yes, I know the limit on guests has been magically removed, but it is still illegal to dance or sing. (“What you in for mate, singing at your daughters wedding”) I haven’t been to a football match (legally) since March 2020, and I don’t know if I will be able to go in August. Not bothered personally, but I can’t go to a nightclub, can’t see a doctor, can’t see a dentist, must wear a face covering, not sure if I can invite people into my own home. Still, apparently it’s ok to have a barbecue on the beach with six other G7 mates, and that van der layen bird from the eau no.
Apart from all that, I live in a free country.
And before July the 19th, the Hawaiian variant or the Crimean variant, or the formentera variant or the Vietnamese variant, will become a variant of concern, and hey Ho here we go, back to cell one.
Now that’s what I call lockdown.

Can’t walk into any pub round here, have a swift half and walk out again.

You have to book a table, check in with the gestapo via the “NHS covid app” sit down at booked table, order drinks via pubs app, pay by card, drink your drink, having removed required face covering, put it back on to leave, having checked out. Oh, the joy.

You must live in a parallel universe. Round here you can now see a doctor and visit the dentist. I was at the dentist last week for a check up. Spectators can go to football matches here. You can have people round to your house and have a BBQ in your garden if you wish. There may be a limit on the number of people that you can have round but with the amount of moaning that you are doing about the rules I would doubt that you would have many wanting to come around.

I wish I did live in a parallel universe.

You cannot see a doctor other than by triage via receptionist, video diagnosis by GP, and then shuffled off to a specialist, by appointment, in who knows when?

I made a dentists appointment in April, will see me, maybe, in August.

If you hadn’t noticed the football season ended in May. The number of fans allowed into Euro 2020/2021 is pitifully low.

16 months ago this phucking Tory lying bunch of Counts told us three weeks. Trouble is, it would have been even more draconian under Lybore.

I have never, ever, seen a Prime Minister look more shifty than Boris Johnson did on Monday evening.

Do you, any of you, believe him any more? July? You bet he does!

1% of hospital patients are covid 19, so what are we waiting for?

Easy Jet have diverted a load of unused aircraft to Germany. Why? So the double vaccers can go on holiday to Spain, with no quarantine. And no, I don’t want to go abroad to Europe or anywhere else this year. But I would like my democratically elected government to stop telling me I can’t.

What has my country become? A nation of sheeple, who don’t know what to do without being told what to do?

Two world wars and one World Cup? Never again with the timidity that reigns today.

I have issues with the BBC but they will get their stats from the Gov, they just make it look a bit fancier for their news site.

south kesteven cases have doubled 13 locally including a pub had to shut after the landlady contracted it but the figures for deaths and hospitalisations NOT rising

Everywhere you go there is very little heed to social distancing people don't bother with wiping down their trolleys or hand sanitizer at supermarkets any more.

I think it is about time the government lifted restrictions we have almost all of the vulnerable groups vaccinated and 90% + of the adult pop 1 jab at least most of the cases are mild cases in the young it is only 1 corner of the UK that seems to have pressure on the NHS so why not lift restrictions let it do the rounds and provide herd immunity in the teenage/young adult population and concentrate resources on helping those NHS areas which still struggle

the economy can then sort itself out and get going properly

just checked the vaccination figures locally and for first doses the number was

MINUS 2

how can you unvaccinate people

and before anyone says I know it must be they have over counted previously

We have a vaccination centre in a former car dealers that closed during the pandemic passed it twice and saw the volunteers standing around doing nothing but hard to tell if anyone in there

we have the capacity but it appears no one wants the jab
