Covid restrictions have come to the end of the road. No more clapping or respect for those on the front line anymore. Time to throw away the facts and figures because the ecconomy, (the donors and business backers need to make a profit) need you !
The reward for all you lovely NHS staff ,is the privilege of paying to park your car to do a 12 hour shift in an already highly pressured environment. ( got to keep the private companies happy!)
Can it be that the government need to claw back the money wasted through rash decisions?
Or could it be retribution, due to the uproar people had for, 'party gate'?
Covid tests no longer free for society. Is that due to the fact that big business and donors are banging on the door needing to make a profit to keep this government in the way they are accustomed to working and living?
It will be interesting to see how willing the government will be to support business that may struggle due to the lack of free testing . Will they be willing to assist businesses as the workforce struggle with the guilt of either being off or infecting others to pay the bills , (so much for the concern of mental wellbeing !). How will that assist the economy ? Boom and bust ?
The government are hell bent on informing us that we chose freedom.
What freedom ?
If you are on a certain level it is possible to acquire such freedom such as the privileges to a passport, the key to unlocking your biometric which will save the world and you from identity fraud.
If you wish to apply for higher education , driving licences, employment , financial services and issuing of certain civil certificates a passport is now required. So where does that leave those who chose not to have one because they do not go abroad or those that cannot afford one ? What happened to the other forms of identification such as electoral roll, utility bills to assist with identification ?
Is the freedom being eroded for the sake of convenience under the guise of security or is it a way to keep control of people and what they are able to access?
How can the excuse of identity be used for certain groups of society but it seems not to other groups. How is it that people, are able to register any name at Company House'? ' No identity checks needed. What has happened to the excuse of needing the passport to apply for security reasons ? Why is this deemed acceptable, and yet those that chose not have a passport are hindered with accessing certain services and employment ? Where is the excuse of protecting identity and security ?
This appears to be a way of control just as the government wishing to change boundaries and amend the voting rights.
I find it Interesting to see the how this government likes to portrays itself to the global world and here, who are they kidding ?

It is interesting how rarely the media report the current shockingly high rates of infection and death - more than 300 deaths yesterday.

Hi Hede,
You are right about the passports. Unfortunately mine runs out next year but I don't think I will be able to afford to get another one. Hopefully a utility bill will suffice.
Yes, they are quiet about Covid now, despite rising figures. I think it is herd immunity again and let the bodies pile high! They say the vaccine loses its efficacy after a certain time anyway. So I wonder if there will be further vaccinations to cover this in future if there is another surge ?
Take care both

Hi Patrick and Gill,
Yes, l am finding it interesting that some parts of China are on lock down and here we feel it is the time to sink or swim !
We appear to have gone from comparing ourselves to the rest of the world to keeping ....
All the staff at ground floor level in NHS, Health and Social Care could do with the support from the government but instead they have passed their responsibilities onto others . To be honest the government appear to be nothing but a glorified personnel department.
Lets' hope the vaccines keep doing their job.
Take care.
