Disgraceful comments from Macron. Risking peoples lives for political reasons.

I’ve no idea about what politico is or isn’t, I just did a search and it popped up. The writer said in the article that they were at the press conference so I assume there is some merit in it. I think Macron was just trying to strut his stuff and give the U.K. a kick at the same time. What is going through their heads at the moment god only knows. Just shut up, see what happens with the EU and AZ (but I think they really know anyway). They have already ordered about 600 million Pfizer’s, but if it makes them feel good blocking vaccines to the U.K., fine, get on with it, it’s their reputation on the line.....

I said last week, we really need to start declaring war on these clowns, France, then Germany and if Italy wants it, its there.

Team up with Big Vlad and start banging.

Aye, he can talk about the contract all he likes but shouldn't be going near having strong opinions on medical matters he isn't qualified to unfluence others on. Doesn't help anyone

Let me guess, if my answer is 0< then that makes me a MURDERER. I’ll go with Whitty and say when we reach a level similar to a normal flu year.
You don’t get to just answer my question with a question either though. If you want to say that 0 deaths moving forward is the only acceptable outcome then just say it. It’s impossible given how endemic this thing will/had become but you can still say it.That’s the issue here- you view it as my responsibility to keep you or others safe. No matter what it takes and by any means necessary, with the state steppinmuch as possible if it has to. I view it as my responsibility to keep others safe as much as possible up to the point where to do so negatively impacts my own life, especially long term. I guess I’m a bad person but at least I’m honest. I wish you’d be honest and just admit you basically want a lockdown to achieve 0 Covid. Because it’s either that or you accept that there will be some deaths in the future. And seeing as you seem unwilling to do that, I don’t see what else you could be thinking.

Now, currently due to a majority of the country not being vaccinated, everyone has to take responsibility. But it’s pretty obvious that the measures that would save lives are being tolerated until mass vaccination takes place. You are however delusional if you think people will tolerate restrictions on their lives once hospitalisations and deaths fall massively, or that people actually have an appetite for these restrictions (in your first response to me you said the “majority” want measures to continue and for society to change- I highly doubt this).

There it is. The world view of the Thatcher Kinder.

And no, I dont expect anything from you.

But here's the rub for you: you will have to change your life long term. Everyone will, and there will be no exception. The old normal is for the birds - gone. Ilm not talking about people being forced to wear Mao jackets and carry a red book. But there will be a level of intervention into all out lives that wasn't there before and it'll remain in place.

That happens with every event tbf. Pillock has a shoe bomb, 4 hour checks and departures with shoes off for everyone......
