Relaxation of Restrictions, Part X Read OP For Mod Warnings

the thing about Australians is that they dont really tend to go outside of Australia on holidays do they? not like Europeans do.

so it makes little difference if theyre stuck on their beautiful HUGE island for a couple of months.. they have it all there.

They tend to go to SE Asia, Japan and Pacific Islands a lot

But maybe not at the same levels was Europeans move about. Not sure.

It does seem 1 step removed from a china of sorts. which is ironic as they seem to hate china as much as Trump did.

You're Championing more sickness, overwhelmed hospital systems and death than the UK all ready experienced?

That's perfectly normal.

Mid July, where did you hear that???

Jesus that's grim.

I'm sure I heard on the radio it was looking like mid-July until intercounty travel would be reopened, apologies if incorrect. Could have been a kite?

Good article in the telegraf ...

The other evening, a normally robust, stiff-upper-lipped friend came round for a nocturnal picnic in a nearby communal garden. Suddenly, almost in tears, she let rip about the terrible toll of being stuck in a tiny flat with her husband and (now) two-year-old for a year, all bar a week in Scotland in the summer. I’ll never forget the moment when, glassy-eyed, she stared ahead and said: “I need a holiday. I need to get out.”

And by out, she meant out of the UK. No staycation gives you the resuscitation my friend needed. She needs – we all need – to leave from time to time, and immerse ourselves in a different culture, different food. And no, Yorkshire and Norfolk don’t cut it.

Thankfully, my friend will be able to take just such a trip soon. This is more than can be said for the residents of Australia and New Zealand, countries that chose the path – much lauded by the everyone-must-suffer-to-the-max control freaks of the Left – of total imprisonment in perpetuity. Countries which, as the rest of the world looks for ways to return to normal in the Covid era, have chosen to remain prisons, with nobody out and very few in. They have no other way left to them – and what’s more, they’re smug about it ...

Bit of a first world problem, "life is unbearable because I can't jet off to a foreign country for a couple of weeks".

Re Australia and NZ "...total imprisonment in perpetuity",
what planet has the author of that piece being living on for the past year?

And is life in Oz and NZ now unbearable due to international travel being more awkward?
If those are the biggest problems some people face many others would swap places with them in an instant!

Talking to a friend in Australia a few weeks ago and life seemed pretty normal for him. Was getting up the next morning for a swim in a pool.

You're reading too much nonsense, on nonsense web sites, or on facebook, etc.

Nope, don't use social media, don't go on to "nonsense websites", I use the BBC, Guardian and the telegraph as news - I see what I see, did that minister say that or not ???

He did.

I know it makes no sense, but it is what it is.

I heard that as well..not to far off now and a lot better than I thought. I was sure it wouldn't be allowed until September...I'd be a bit concerned with Mid July however and think it might be better to wait until the summer holidays are actually over just in case we get a spike in numbers...

The great reset had a lot of sensible ideas, and some nonsense also,
but was misinterpreted, by a lot of deluded individuals,
as being some sort of take over of the world, by an 'elite',
who were going to control all our minds with 5G, etc.

yeah that's more of what she goes on about

she's convinced she's going to spend the rest of her life subject to these restrictions while "elites" party

it's all a bit dystopian...

Ahh but if we wait till September sure might as well wait till January (don’t want to repeat last Xmas an all.)

It was your "There is something deeply deeply sinister going on here."
that made me think you were in the grips of the CT ecosystem.

I can't see anything sinister,
just different governments trying to deal with this as best they can.
Australia and NZ seem to have been particularly successful,
and absolutely nothing sinister as far as I can see.

It seems that way given how riled up the regulars here get when things are opened. Doesnt suit the fantasy of Evil Tony locking us down until 2025.

Not sure if they have news where you are Johnson but by the way things are looking we're set to be on a tighter leash with vaccines than without them.

The narrative of an outdoor summer coincided with holohans return so while we might not be locked down until 2025, please tell me when you see things going back to normal? Or are you just going to dodge any post that cant be evaded with a half arsed one liner as usual?

Sure better leave it until November just to be sure. They're planning for 80% for end of June, why in gods name would mid-July be concerning? It should be in June.

lawred2 · 27-04-2021 09:52AM

anyone in the hospitality sector seeing inter country travel being mooted for mid July might as well just shut up shop

Jinglejangle69 · 27-04-2021 09:55AM

It seems NHPET really don't want to let go of the reins.

They worked all their lives for this position, suppose it brings a huge sense of power and achievement.

Hard for anyone to let that go once they get it.

Mid July for inter County travel, yeah I'm convinced now they just can't accept they won't be needed soon.

And mid July rolls around and there'll be another cause for concern or variant of concern to roadblock that.

KrustyUCC · 27-04-2021 10:03AM

If its only intercounty travel for mid July that's half of one of the two months for staycations gone

Hospitality sector the sacrificial lambs for NPHET caution and the government rolling over again

yes. yes I am.

Because (as stated previously) if you have this mindset that you champion.
We will never do anything because we will be too busy wetting ourselves over every illness that comes along.

yes cos lockdowns havent been a feature there for the past 12months or so....nope???
the cops didn't batter people for breaking rules or call to arrest people for having the wrong opinions on social media?

The government minister and trade unions didn't state that mandatory vaccines were probable. I know it was pre covid but a minister and trade unions had a mantra of "no jab, no job"

all recent history . erased cos of a photo last sunday.
well done you
