European holidays. That article talks like there’s nowhere else to go!

All I can say is that any remaining Cornish hoteliers will rake it in.

It just means all the nice places in the UK will be filled with all the dickheads that would be in ayia napa and stuff.

I still don't understand why anyone even considered a holiday abroad this year
It was never ever going to happen

I have no sympathy for people daft enough to book abroad

Tory MPs once again failing utterly to understand the situation we're in and are once again railing against Johnson to lift lockdown measures as soon as possible despite the virus yet again getting out of control across Europe and the UK's vaccination programme barely reaching around 27% of what needs to be done.

Grade AAA ass-hattery in London today.

"But BLM protests were okay and didn't result in a spike in cases!" because they wore masks and distanced themselves. You bunch of ****wits doing neither.
"But we're outside!" gazelles are outside too, but the lions still get them.

Take to the streets to protest lockdowns and nothing happens, but don't you DARE silently protest the murder of a woman by a police officer! That **** will get you beaten.

I fell down a "scamdemic" rabbit hole earlier. I can sadly see how the idiot populace gets converted. It also reminded me why I limit the places I go online.

Science is an opinion. That’s what I saw on someone’s bio today. There is no hope

In contrast to moronic anti-lockdown Tories Johnson has been warned by SAGE that allowing summer holidays abroad this year could lead us to Lockdown 04

This really wound me up
I mean they are now going to be the likely reason everything gets locked down longer
I mean what was the actual f****** point in protesting something that in about 3-4 weeks is having the majority of restrictions lifted anyway

It's just dumb, dumb f**** making it worse for all of us

I'm going to remain indoors for 3 months after any covid rules are lifted, due to the nightmare that will be the carnage of folks over-compensating for a year+ of restrictions. Certainly the w/e all pubs are fully re-opened will make town-centres a no-go area.

[fishbowlhead]

Oh were absolutely going to have another lock down as soon as all the morons start going on holiday here and abroad again.

[QualityChimp]

I can't help but feel people will just think restrictions are completely over in a few weeks and go bonkers.

It's absolutely not the case:

From 5 April:
At least four people from two households can meet outside


From 26 April:
Up to six people from up to three households can socialise outdoors (six 12- to 17 year olds can meet socially from six households outdoors)

It's going to be another month until you can play frisbee in the park with just two other mates.

That’s exactly whats going to happen.

My walk at w/e along the river up to the town shows it's already being ignored; there were several groups of more than six people mixing, most but not all, being teens. Big queues waiting for the Chinese take-away to open too.
