Snige i wonder what infamous traditional note the conservatives will leave for eh next Govt, "Sunak Mars HS3 budget broke the donkey back"....
DYOR
FYI snige, Trump has gone, keep up.
On all the major factors regarding the vaccine your hero Starmer has supported every action, but he's made a few boo boos himself.
Regarding the high street meeting our needs that was before you other hero, Blair, opened the floodgates.
Just saying.
It's social distancing/UV which will get us out of this mess and not vaccine alone,otherwise Cheltenham would be going ahead next week.
Boris and Trump are hiding behind the same argument,the success of the vaccine and ignoring the 122,000 or 520,000 dead.
As for Lloyds and all this talk on returning to normal,we still don't know what normal will be.The 1970's seemed normal at the time but we had far less discretionary spending than today and a much smaller high St which seemed to meet all our needs.
Of course everyone, including illegal immigrants, can get free access to the vaccine. Now, as a grown up, can you imagine how many illegal immigrants are going to come forward for a jab.
well have ALL noticed that if Mrs Bucket is not creating spats then she often joins in on ones that she did not create...

You should be relieved Daft, he called you out and he was correct, so now he's filtered you, you won't have to keep digging that hole to try and justify yourself.
Everyone in England has free access to COVID19 vaccination regardless of immigration status or right to remain, and also other vaccinations are available as well, not just COVID. It could be argued that this policy is more to benefit the rest of the country as much as those individuals. For people who choose to remain here despite having no recourse to public funds, the challenge is in both in reaching them and securing vaccine acceptance. Many people lack literacy in their first language so in some senses I would say there is a targeted approach here in ensuring that effort is made to meet this need. None of this really affects the Hostile Environment policy that leave the same people very vulnerable to forced labour/modern slavery, coercive sex working and sometimes appalling living conditions. It's interesting to think about "the right to move to safety", I often think it would be much more popular down here in the South West if Hinckley Point was to go bang.
And yes, meanwhile, us lot can still buy Lloyds shares at less than 40p each.
AParma, "There are no plans to "target" anyone registered or not as individuals. If people refuse they refuse."
no everyone has jab the jab yet, so you can not rule out targeting , education, doctor request etc......
I'm as you say "You are making a case for an amnesty on illegals", i'm pointing out that if they are not vaccinated then this will cause problems, but you seem to think 70 % is ok as you are basing this on herd immunity...
so lets take that figure globally...then..! Tell you what shall we skip the odd small country eh.!
DYOR
"Well aren't you pleasant! Filtered."
Thank you, I'm relieved.
DYOR
Well aren't you pleasant! Filtered.
AParma, "The number of non vaccinated will be more than 1 million. A lot more will refuse than that. But he'd immunities around 70% so we should manage."
i feel so much better, thanks.
wtf..! people who refuse will have been registered, therefore a known register that can be educated, targeted etc....
Immigrants will be fearful of losing jobs, etc....employers will not want to targeted by authorities, fines, etc....
they need a deal, simple.

Coronavirus ‘amnesty’ to get undocumented migrants vaccinated will not be enough, ministers warned..
Coalition of 140 organisations write to ministers urging concrete action to end 'hostile environment'
A government "amnesty" for undocumented migrants to encourage them to come forward for Covid vaccines will not be enough, minsters have been warned.
Over 140 charities, faith groups, local authorities and medical organisations have written to the government urging more action to ensure an estimated 1.3 million people feel safe coming forward.
Downing Street on Monday said there would be no checks on immigration status at vaccine centres and that "those who are here illegally can come forward to receive a vaccine".
But groups including the Refugee Council, The Faculty of Public Health, Trades Union Congress, Medact, Migrants Organise, and the Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants (JCWI) say many could still be left unvaccinated unless concrete action is taken to roll back aggressive policies.

Guitarsolo take your certs and stick up were the sun does not shine as we have ALL seen people who are far more qualified than you get this wrong from day 1.
If the UK Govt do NOT offer better terms to immigrants, then potentially the exponentials are massive as are new variants…
get off you high horse and look at the problem and stop being an idiot..
DYOR
Darth, no I am not stupid thank you! As I look at my MSc certificate in Chemistry and Biochemistry, whilst running a professional financial services company in the City...... My point is that your comment sought to blame immigrants for mutations whereas mutations can occur in anyone.
"People living in the UK unlawfully won't be risking deportation by coming forward for a coronavirus jab, the government has said.
Ministers say they want everyone to get vaccinated and are urging illegal immigrants to register with a GP.
The vaccine is free, regardless of a person's immigration status.
However, the policy is not an amnesty for immigrants and no-one will be given leave to remain in the UK as a result of being vaccinated."

AParma, "Vaccination amnesty was announced 3 weeks ago."
yes but that does not give them the right to stay in the UK....The Govt had been quite clear on that matter.
DYOR
Guitarsolo, are you stupid? if everyone takes up the jabs, then they will be able to handle new varients; howver if 1 million people dont take it up then there will be new variants. 1 million potentially hits The NHS, the economy, etc. etc...
DYOR..!
Rosewall, you're missing the point. Yes there is illegal immigration, we all know that. There are issues around "un-documented" individuals (that's very American) being less likely to come forward for vaccines (but they'll often be too young for the moment), or living and working in conditions that support virus spread. But Darth's words were that "new variants from being created by 1 million illegal immigrants"....and I was merely pointing out that any segment of society can cause a mutation. To blame immigrants for it is, well, ******! Whether that's casual or not is down to the individual.
Rosewall, "until an amnesty is made, the risk of continual spread will be ever present."
Yes and i stated a few times in recent weeks the Govt will have ot offer something up to these people or it could be a waste of time, time which we dont have if we are to truly tackle the problem, after all any spare vac supply will be donated to poorer countries so....
Guitarsolo.
This was a point I was going to raise over the weekend but was too busy with life. Illegal immigration is fact not racism. The relevant point to be made here is that many will not have access to medical care hence, until an amnesty is made, the risk of continual spread will be ever present.
Guitarsolo, yes i dont disagree; however individuals who do NOT get Vaccinated are a major problem in preventing more variants spreading... ...
also we have Undocumented workers an 'invisible public health risk'...

"How will UK prevent new variants from being created by 1 million illegal immigrants resided in the UK, alone, god know how many in other countries....?"
Well there's nothing like a bit of casual racism in the morning! I've got news for you Darth, mutations can occur in any segment of the population. Not just immigrants!
Please just Shut Up.
You are desperate and becoming irrational in your negativity.
By all means, all view are welcome but not lies and misleading.....IMHO
Jeez! Fakey you take the biscuit you do!
TLF "ou are desperate and becoming irrational in your negativity.
By all means, all view are welcome but not lies and misleading.....IMHO"
There are 1.2 million illegal immigrants in the UK - a quarter of the entire total in Europe.

Last 5 trading days it’s closing above 39p. I’m expecting this to move 1p up this week to 40p and stay there for 2 weeks and to be 41p by Easter. Even at this donkey speed it will reach 60 by year end as per my calculation. Any positive growth story on uk economy will make 70p predictions come true by the end of year.
