With double vaxxed nearly as likely to catch it and spread it, it seems a waste of time.
Testing seems the far more sensible option.

wouldn't like to see jabbed exempt from testing if they scrap the passports as they can still catch/spread it. anotherway to demonize unvaxxed before bringing in digital ID?

 

[Frijj]

What a shambles. Twice now they’ve announced this and twice they’ve u-turned.

 

[Enable]

Think this means lockdown will be a cert now!

Mustn't have been able to work out how to make any cash out of it.

Demonize.

common sense prevails. was a very dicey path going down this route. still baffles me the amount of people who were seemingly okay with it regardless of your stance on the vaccines

Zahawi last Sunday - happening by end of the month
Dowden on Friday - almost certainly happening
Javid at 0830 - Govt hope to avoid them
Javid at 0930 - No plans for passports as not going to implement something just for the sake of it

Where's the Malcolm Tucker omnishambles gif?

Good but I do worry they may announce another lockdown. See what happens

I can see there being something to "save Christmas".

 

[mad maxim]

Good, but with this lot its probably as much to do with flicking a v-sign at Sturgeon as anything else.

Good. They're an absolute disgrace. Still need to keep the pressure on so they don't u-turn. Used Scotland as a testing ground. Conservatives, Labour and Lib Dems all voted against them, Boris wants to keep the union so would never vote for something that Scottish Tories didn't and split the union even further.

 

[McMackem]

"We'll have a COVID passport"
"We will, very soon"
"Yes we will"
"I see Scotlands arranged one already"
"We're not having one"

Sure is, demonstrating such relative incompetence by the UK government will be yet another huge stride towards saving the Union.

Really pleased this has been scrapped. Let's hope the idea never rears its ugly head again. Or better still, let's hope we never need anything like this again.

Strong & stable government don’t forget

Wise words but you will almost certainly get grief from the usual suspects.

You know for a fact there's been plenty of comments on here about Sturgeon doing the opposite to England, or going one step further than England, or about her playing politics. Xenophobic. That's exactly what you called me for saying something very similar to what you posted. Xenophobic.
