We have gone from 'vaccinations will return things to normal' to 'we need lockdown powers for another 6 months' in a very short space of time.

It's an unbelievable number, something like £4.3 million an hour over the year! An hour!

On what?

How much did the Pokemon Go App cost to create and deploy? Or any of those location based dating Apps?

Boris talking bollocks again? Surely not!

Epidemiologist and government advisor Professor Mark Woolhouse says he is "nervous" about the prospect of full relaxation of coronavirus restrictions in June - as currently set out in the government's road map.

"It will be important that the government continues to be guided by the data," he told BBC One's Andrew Marr Show.

Professor Woolhouse said it would depend how well the vaccine is performing: "If they go on at this rate, I think we can get quite close to a full release, but the idea that we can suddenly emerge from this in one great bound, I think is a little over-optimistic."

Wondering when the population will wake up and realise how much the government are sneaking in under the banner of COVID...

Many millions of pounds spent replicating something Google and Apple have already perfected.. think we can do better?

Helen Clarke is my least favourite NZ Politician... she disbanded our Air Force strike force as PM in 2001 and ended my military career.

Though that article does make a lot of sense, the bureaucracy responses were no where rapid enough for a fast moving pathogen

So the **** in charge who said that he was intending to remove all restrictions from mid June is now having to back track. :x

He must be the most stupid leader of this Country ever....and that is saying something. A two year old would talk more sense.

I'm sure I heard on Radio 4 the other day, that his popularity amongst voters continues to increase.?

Ian Hislop & Paul Merton did their best to illuminate their viewers to reality, nonetheless that programme has a lot to answer for... / Wonder how we would would fare, if we'd got Angus at the top post instead.

I'm just watching the reactions of passengers realising that now the restrictions have been eased a random person can sit next to them on a bus or train... Most of them are using the isle seats to prevent that.
