I’m struggling to understand all of this too. I think it’s come from all of the conspiracy theories about the great reset and tracking chips and the elite wanting to control us. I asked my husband what he thinks about it as he’s a pretty level headed rational guy and he says he can’t see a problem with it he sees why it could be necessary during a pandemic and doesn’t bother him at all. I’m a little bit more worried about it but that’s because of the conspiracy theories thread so I really don’t know what to make of it all

I believe that it’s because people in the Uk are not used to being policed. I am Russian, and we carry our passports with us, and any policeman can stop anyone and demand to see the passport for identification purposes. It also has our proof of address there, so in lockdown it was easy to check whether you are in the neighbourhood you are meant to be in. I can easily imagine Russian government adding a vaccine stamp in the passport - we have our marriage certificate stamp in them anyway, for example. People who have children have their children’s names and DOB in them as well, men that served in the army get a stamp for that as well. Lots of people in the UK don’t have passports, lots of people don’t have driving licences, and in general people are not required by law to carry an ID, so that’s why people are upset.

I’ve travelled extensively around the world and not once been asked for a vaccination document.
Expecting this to change dramatically now. (Unless you’re entering the UK of course )

I’ve also seen this about people being able to work in certain professions. When I worked in the NHS though it was in my contract I had to have further vaccination like Hep B etc so this is nothing new?

I need to share my joy with you lot....

After nearly a year of doing our weekly shop online and having it delivered, I had a mini meltdown yesterday and declared that I was doing the weekly shop (2 adults, 3 kids) at.....wait for it....M&S. It's our closest store but obvs I have only ever driven past it because we ain't rich. We are more of an Asda Smart Price kinda budget.

Husband looked like he might say something (something eminently sensible to be fair.....something like "Are you fucking kidding me....we can't afford that" etc) but then I gave him THE LOOK. You know the one....the one that you can give after knowing someone for over 20 years....the look that says " You do NOT want to pick this fight." I have not socialised in I don't know how long. I am Mary Poppins to our kids and an unpaid Homeschooling guru. All I do is cook, clean, homeschool and walk the dog. For months. I need this.

So I drive the 2 mins to M&S like I'm in my way to fucking Heathrow to embark on a 5* break to Dubai. I am high on life I spent over twice our normal weekly budget....a blistering £197 in total. But do you know what I handed over my debit card like a bad ass mother-fucker like YEAH BABY...

Husband looked quite tearful when I gleefully showed him the receipt- it was like the opposite of one of those TV shows where they show you how much you can save by swapping to Aldi. I was like "Aren't I clever...I managed to nearly spend £200 on food"

Anyway, I bought a few tins of 8% Mojito so hubby will have gotten over it when I drink them tonight and turn into a crazy drunken horny Mum, let him feel my boobs (maybe more ladies...just maybe!) and fall asleep by 8pm.

We'll be on Asda smart price for everything for the next 2 months to make up for it but I do not give one solitary shiny shit.

The jabs you took were your choice as you were going abroad and had to take jabs for things that have been around a long time.

Taking a rushed jab less than a year old to do things in your own country isn't right.

Not entirely sure what your point is. I didn't say it was a worldwide thing, just that some people don't seem to realise it's a necessity to go to some countries already.

Seems reasonable to me. There's water between the two countries so customs is a logical decision, with precedent. Maybe not likeable decision, but a reasonable one imo.

I'm sure the powers that be might reconsider when they are aware of your outrage

By the way the poll is normally anonymous but I can see who has voted what at the min, not a problem just some people may not realise as it’s normally not the case.

Go girl. Now check your receipt because they may have given you money off coupons. We now use them every week and buy whatevers on offer, then bulk up on alcohol, so the more spent, the bigger discount. Enjoy

my point was I’ve never been asked to prove my vaccinations, but I am expecting this to change dramatically.

I don't think it's unreasonable for countries to want proof of vaccination at this time. We are in a pandemic and countries need to protect their population and their economy. I can't see it being there for years and years just in the immediate future whilst this is a pandemic. Maybe I'm not awake enough but I really am not worried that this will be a "new normal"
