Interesting headline in the Telegraph 'a culture war between freedom lovers and proponents of zero covid'. Thats how I see it. Thats how I see the difference between Leavers and Remainers. Leavers are go getters and give it a go - Remainers are more mustnt try that it may not quite work out. My dad used to have a pet saying 'if in doubt do nowt' he would have been a remainer a reckon.
One good thing about being in a pub when there is no limit on numbers or need to wear a mask - there will be no remainers in there - they will all be hiding in their utility rooms washing and disinfecting their mask collections

NEWS WEBSITE OF THE YEARMy FeedSee all BusinessDozens of 'cowboy' Covid testing labs on approved providers listTest providers currently do not need to be accredited to operate, but they must make a written applicationByJulia Bradshaw27 June 2021 • 8:30pmMinisters are under fire for allowing scores of unaccredited "backyard" Covid testing labs to operate, which could be providing unreliable results.Tony Cooke, chief executive of Cambridge Clinical Laboratories, has warned of dozens of "pop-up labs" that have come into existence to cater to growing numbers of people hoping to access private testing to go on holiday and do other activities.But while there are hundreds of labs on the Government's website of approved providers, with prices ranging from £40 to more than £500 for testing services, there are only six private labs in the country that are accredited for Covid testing, Mr Cooke said."This needs to be dealt with. It's like the Wild West," he said. "We now have a scenario where the private labs have been given the bone of the travel industry and it's a gold rush with people moving in. I can become a provider of tests and have been a car mechanic before this – I just need to register. I have been in the business for 40 years and I have looked at the Government list of approved providers and I don't recognise the names."...... Daily Telegraph

Test and traceJULY 6, 2021 8 COMMENTSI could see the point of Test and trace when few people were vaccinated and when rising caseloads could lead to a surge in people with serious illness needing hospital help. Today now the vaccines seem to have broken most of the link between case numbers, hospital patient numbers and deaths it is less clear that the current Test and Trace system is sensible.Test and Trace always had weaknesses, largely based on individual reactions to it. Some people did not download the app and never liked the system. It could not be mandatory as not everyone has a mobile phone and there was no way people could be made to keep a charged phone by their side every day 24 hours a day. Some who downloaded the app then declined to take any incoming call which might have been a warning call from the system to get them to self isolate. Others took the call, promised to co-operate but found compliance too difficult.Most people with jobs and family duties are not in an easy position to go home and stay home for 14 days. Few have a fortnight's supply of good food ready. Many need the income from working and not all can do everything from their home. Many have to do things outside the home to look after other family members. The ask of Test and Trace was simply too high for some who were not ill, did not feel they had it or were going to get it, and were unsure why they had been told to self isolate in the first place. I hear details are scarce about where and how you were in contact for those who were approached. This is for understandable reasons as the app has to reassure on privacy about who went where and when.Today there is the danger that the Test and Trace system generates far too many precautionary requirements to self isolate for many people who do not have the disease and are not about to have it. The rules need relaxing as we learn "to live with the disease" as the government says. No major country has succeeded in eliminating CV 19, even those who have had more severe and longer lockdowns than us. The best advice surely is to ask people who feel ill with likely symptoms to get tested, and to stay isolated if they turn out to have it.... John Redwood

John Redwood@johnredwood44mSo after threats Germany now says Uk vaccinated travellers can visit. Why would many want to holiday there after all their attempts to block our decision to be a friendly independent country?

'Cause if it wasn't for all of your torture
I wouldn't know how to be this way now and never back down
So I wanna say thank you

'Cause it makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
It makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter
