Norwich did have halves for a while.

So they are half of a half of old timey Norwich?

Actually, looking into Norwich's history, it fits quite well as Norwich were in the basement division when they wore that kit.

If you've been double jabbed, what are you scared of exactly.

This is a very telling statement on the mentality of anti-maskers, anti-vaxxers and anti-passporters (I am not saying you personally are all of those!).

There's no thought at all there of others. You can't even comprehend that people pro mask/vaccine/passport might not be doing things for themselves but out of consideration of others.

Personally I have very little fear for myself. I'm double jabbed, reasonably healthy and young enough that covid shouldn't touch me.

Bit none of that means I can't catch it and pass it on to somebody who could become very sick or even die.

I'm not "cowering" as Sajid Javid would think, I am trying to protect other people. It's the exact same reasoning behind washing my hands after going to the toilet or covering my mouth/nose when I sneeze or cough.

What a ******* awful statement. Victimless crime?! 

The "family club" there stating alleged domestic abuse is victimless.

What are some of these Vaccine obsessives afraid of exactly?

We're at the beginning of the end of Covid as a serious problem IMO, it'll fade away to something flu like or fairly moderate I reckon. Double jabbed should be ample protection.

You might be right.

But you could also be horribly wrong.

As we've seen with the Delta variant, when left to run amongst the population, this virus will mutate.

If we allow it to continue infecting people (even if they are not getting really sick), then we increase the chances of a mutation that is vaccine resistant and/or is serious for young healthy people.

We've all had a year and a half of hell. I find it unbelievable that there are people who would want to prolong this or who would risk lives just because "in their opinion" we are at the end.

Oh hello again, looks like you're the conspiracy theorist now.  

That's not what a conspiracy theory is.

You say you've had the vaccine, but I have no way of knowing if you're telling the truth.

If only there was something you could show to prove it.....

Do you mean this protest, which as you can see was covered by the BBC and on the front page of its website?

All these stories are from the last two days on the BBC.

There are 10's of millions of people protesting against the loss of freedoms , You won't see it on the BBC news for obvious reasons, but of course there are all sorts of people there, good and bad.

I'm getting the feeling you are either on a wind up,:laugh:. Or cant grasp any other narrative than the one you have been spoon fed for the last year, which of course is a classic case of Stockholm Syndrome.  I really hope its not the latter.

Yes, 10s of millions of people attending the rally's that I posted about. They are there listening to all of that nonsense and cheering it on.

The only classic case here is you proving the Dunning-Kruger effect.

Sweet Jaysus, there are some crazies about, 5G conspiracy just takes the biscuit, there are some special cases around. These are the same bunch that will argue the Earth is flat

According to Big P, there are 10s of millions of them. Which is pretty terrifying.

10s of millions protesting around the world, they all must be crazy antivaxxers ..

The same people that threatened to hang doctors and nurses? The same ones who think the vaccines will kill millions of people? The same bunch that think 5G internet is linked to the vaccine?

The blind faith you guys have in governments and the media machine is fascinating. Good luck is all what I will say..

There's no blind faith needed. Just the most basic understanding of viruses and vaccines.

 Because you said the delivery driver could give you it yet you go to a supermarket....

Anyway this isn't my argument, my concern is covid passports.

Yes, I could catch it in the supermarket or from a delivery driver. What's your point?

I'm double jabbed and wear a mask outside. I'm also in the supermarket for less than 10-15 minutes.

Is that ok with you?

Your concern is covid passports, but all your posts trying to discredit me have only been making the argument for covid passports.

iceland don’t charge delivery at all. most delivery charges are around £2.99 less than a pint!

Thanks but y have to spend £35 or more. Which is a lot more than my £20ish Aldi shop!

@BS2 Red

I have been doing my weekly shop with Sainsbury's for many months by ordering online for delivered to my house.

Try it as if you use a 4 hour slot it only costs £1 delivery. Ocado is pretty good also.

Sainsbury's are expensive.

FFS

I'm confused as to why you'd say "for ****s sake" to that post? 

8 minutes ago, big p said:

Oh right, so you're willing to take the chance in a Supermarket when you can get food delivered. But people should always use a passport for churches, cinemas, football stadiums. Hmm.

Hmm away all you like. But your arguments are ridiculous.

I am not very wealthy and so paying delivery charges is not something that is really available to me. Plus there's just as much chance the delivery driver has covid.

1 minute ago, big p said:

Right, I'll give it another go.

Do you go in pubs supermarkets etc. I presume you don't because they don't use covid passports... if you do then you completely contradict the argument for covid passports .

I'm not talking about vaccines.

My wife is at serious risk from covid, so no I'm not going to pubs.

There's not much choice when it comes to supermarkets, we have to eat. 

But me going to a supermarket so we don't starve to death does not invalidate my belief that it's perfectly fine for venues/the government to require people have the vaccine to enter a stadium.

What? I don't think I've ever seen 20,000 people crammed in to Sainsbury's. That doesn't contradict anything.

If anything all he has done there is make a good argument that we should have covid passports for supermarkets as well.  

Just now, RiverRed said:

Pedantry? I came into the thread at your post. Haven't read 312 pages of it prior to commenting.

Yes, pedantry. I said "unvaccinated people" in a discussion about vaccine passports and anti-vaxxers. It's pretty clear what was meant.

3 minutes ago, big p said:

But it doesn't stop it. So what's the point of the passport...

It's really not difficult..

You are right, it's really not difficult. The vaccine reduces the risk of passing on the virus. It is therefore preferable that unvaccinated people do not get together in large groups. See how easy that is to understand?

1 minute ago, RiverRed said:

The post of yours to which I initially replied stated unvaccinated people. No distinction was made, just a blanket reference to unvaccinated people.

 

Are we really stooping to that level of pedantry? It's pretty obvious that I wouldn't have been talking about medically exempt people.

I've had the Jab, but the selfish people are the ones forcing young people to have a relatively new technology against their will by peer pressure, the same young people who willmost likely build natural immunity against it...

I don't think you have the correct definition of the word "selfish" there. Wanting people to take a vaccine to protect others is not a selfish thing.

Could you explain the science behind your theory that young people will build "natural immunity"?
