Silly me when Johnson kept saying it would be irreversible he was actually indicating restrictions could be reapplied. The man is clearly working from the Trump play book, just deny what you have said despite film evidence to the contrary.
We were to introduce a Covid passport, then not, then yes we were then no and now yes again. We had all people ending working from home but now it is no longer the case, fortunately the majority of employers had no intention of acting on this instruction.
Yep, that's how he rolls.
Say whatever is most popular with the masses today and then deny it when it comes back to bite.
The opening up of "everything", at a time when cases are already out of control is like trying to put a fire out with petrol.
There is now talk that "some" restrictions will have to be applied if/when things get worse, but, in Bojo's head, this clearly isn't "reversing" or, maybe he's just forgotten/ignored the "irreversible opening up" comments of just a few weeks ago.
It looks like the "world beating" track and trace system is now to be over ridden so that the economy can open up with "contacts" likely to be allowed to ignore the "ping".
The vaccine roll out seems to have been a huge success, although there are now 1000's of positive cases among those who have been double jabbed and assuming that vaccinated NHS staff, among others, will be told to ignore the "ping", what will this do to the safety of those in hospital.
It's amazing that towns and cities in the North West were virtually "locked down" when cases rose above 200 per 100,000 and yet, now, cases are 500+ per 100,000 and we're still flinging the metaphoric doors open.
It's going to be an interesting few months
,which is probably why it isn’t challenged - certainly don’t blame them
