All the more reason for everyone to get the vaccine, except those without a valid reason that means they cannot have the vaccine.
I think there's a typo there: "except those with a valid reason that means they cannot have the vaccine
Quote
While I am a strong believer in consent there are times when public health (and the economy in this case) are perhaps stronger arguments. And while I wouldn't go as far as forcing people to have the vaccine I see no reason why being vaccinated (unless you cannot be for medical reasons) should be a requirement for accessing services etc.
Another one there I think: " I see no reason why being vaccinated ... shouldn't be a requirement for accessing services etc"

Since it's going to be many months before everybody has had the opportunity to get vaccinated, it's not practical to do that, at least not yet. Also, you'd need some sort of identity card scheme or something so that people can prove they've had the vaccine.

Cases in Wales have passed the 100,000 mark, I reckon there will be an even stricter lockdown here very soon. :o

Including over Christmas. Nobody in our government would have the balls to do that.

And this seems reasonable about the issues with the 5 days of Christmas and the Tier 3 restrictions in London

I once tried using "chicken" as a password, but was told it must contain a capital so I tried "chickenkiev"
On another occasion, I tried "beefstew", but was told it wasn't stroganoff.

So we are going to be allowed to mix but told not to. This is pretty much the message that has been coming from the Scottish Govt over the last week but it just feels like weakness

I wonder if the restrictions will be tight enough here in Wales?  Flintshire, where we live, has a rising rate of people testing positive with the virus. People who have been treated for other conditions have caught it during their stay at our local hospital! :o

I had my first Covid inoculation yesterday with the 2nd World War generation.  It was like old times - queuing with our gas masks to get into the shelter then after the injection a quarter of an hour wait for the 'all clear' before we could leave.  The bloke in front of me was nothing but complain, complain, complain.  When he got to the nurse she asked him what he was there for.  'Just a little prick' he said.  So she gave him a mirror and said he would find one in there.  The man behind me was very fearful of the pain of having the injection and asked me if there were any side effects.  I told him that when the needle went in he would experience an orgasm.  He was OK after I told him that.  I can't wait for the booster in January.  We get to queue in the snow.

The French President has tested positive for the virus and is self isolating.
