Is the assumprtion here that you mean Nicola Sturgeon - nice bit of diversion there, find an enemy for little englanders, point the finger and chuck abuse.
Anything to divert from the disaster this govt. has made of the pandemic - oh this has been around for a while, best close the gate after all the horses have bolted and put a nice soundbite prison sentence in for the hangem and flogem brigade!

Why?
Did her failed policies, dither and inability to understand the virus cost over 100,000 British lives?
Did she allow Cheltenham races to go ahead in March?
Or try to "save" Christmas by putting London into tier 2 in December, putting wealth before health?

Seriously deluded if you really think this.
No HYS, on the European president's admission of the "shortcomings" of their vaccine roll out ? It was supposed to be dear old blighty messing things up!

Why are you interested? We're not in the EU any more. Aren't there enough UK shortcomings to chat about?
Summed up well. EU admit error, time to move on. Maybe BJ and his chums could try a bit of humility rather than 'world beating' hyperbole and BS?
Quite right, the government only managed to miss-handle controlling the pandemic allowing cases to get out of hand by not acting quickly enough. Still they have plenty of vaccine so I suspect their loyal followers will be telling us they are in control and forgetting all the errors made along the way.

Yet clealy they made the right choice, even Italy is planning to leave EU, and there economy is deploarable

Wow 5* hotel now how come ? last I saw it was an ex army baracks. Mind you those illegal immigrants are quite resourceful they probably just did the place up. Shame to keep them locked up at tax payers expense. Should let them work and earn the right to stay.
Is Grant Shapps (or family/acquaintances) shorting travel company shares again?
So many fearful comments on here over a virus that kills only 1.0% of the people who catch it, looks like project fear has won out...sadly.

Why do you bother posting obvious fake news? It takes 10 seconds on Google to show you're talking rubbish https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/mortality
Then they might want to tell the travel companies and airlines so they can stop with the bombardment of adverts. In fact just ban them in the UK for a bit. It's just setting up more false expectations and inevitable whining from the I'm all right Jack's.
Can't for the life of me understand why anyone is contemplating any kind of holiday, home or abroad, this year. Any kind of movement of people will spread the virus again and undo all our efforts. Let restaurants, local outdoor attractions, etc open up with social distancing from say Easter, but everyone stays within their own counties.
Accepted but there will be no holidays abroad for at least 12months, why is so difficult for folk to understand. People do not NEED a holiday. What we NEED is for this pandemic to be over. Sooner people realise that the quicker it will be over, forget holidays!!
It shouldn't be necessary for the government to tell people it's to early to book holidays for this year, common sense should tell them that. Just shows stupidity is alive and well and of course the I WANT IT AND I WANT IT NOW culture which seems to dominate many peoples thinking it well and truly imbedded in the UK and I suspect other western countries.
It's taken almost 12 months for the UK to realise what took around 12 seconds in Australia and New Zealand - we are an ISLAND, seal the border, keep covid out.
This disease is going to get nastier with new variants overseas from populations that aren't vaccinated, so once we are in control lets keep it that way.
Holiday in the sun next year when we know more.

It's precisely because I work, and employ almost 200 people, that I want this pandemic ended and normality returned. Lot's of people have already lost their jobs, endangering other jobs by importing new variants just because YOU want a fortnight abroad is about as selfish as it gets. Grow up.
Holidays are not just about geographically travelling. ou can have a holiday without going anywhere, it's a chance to stop work, change routines, catch up on stuff, read that book you never have time to, a craft day, go walking locally, lie in, do some yoga, relax, treat yourself to a nice wine, buy youself something new, creative writing, knit a jumper, anything, it's not always about travel!
If you think you are going anywhere this summer you are deluded.
Its "there" not "their" mate

Surely a parent/grand parent must be in your family? How very sad you are.
No idiot population have been indoctrinated that a holiday is losing vast sums to go somewhere horrible and strange. Then brag about it at work for a week. To show off. They have completely lost the reality that a holiday is time not working, having your time free to relax not work at being 'on' holiday. Gullible. Comically.
Hopefully these lockdowns have shown people what unbelievable sights and treasures they have on their doorsteps here in the UK which will help the local and national economies. Its about time we stopped greasing the palms of countries in the EU where they blatantly dont like Brits but love our money.

Why do you care now you’ve had your way?
Or maybe because unlike some Ms VDL is able to apologise for her mistakes.....
The UK has the highest death rate in the world. That's what I call a shambles.
"We had summer holidays last year when we didn't have a vaccine. Now we've got vaccines coming out of our ears, we are told, 'Don't book a summer holiday,' for crying out loud,"
So you've finally accepted your own Government's incompetence? Sad it's taken you so long when the rest of us spotted it last autumn. But that's a Tory MP for you. Party before country every time.

So I’m assuming you would have a plan to fund every business that would go bankrupt, every young person who would miss out on education, people missing out on operations and all those devastated by mental health. People like you are complicit in increased poverty and suicides for blindly supporting these measures indefinitely. Shame on you!
They don't get put up in hotels for free, they get put up in hostels and then moved into council houses that nobody else wants to move into. Thanks for showing that you are a vile morally bankrupt person who is the real dregs of society and you are exactly what is wrong with the UK.

If the AZN vaccine is effective, why are Summer holidays not all go?
It the UK government that needs to apologize to its population.

"AZ reduces severe symptoms which is good of course"
So the WHO recommends continuing with it, correctly
But it is not a vaccine against variants
It is just a medicine
It does not give immunity or stop transmission
The UK will have to restart its vaccination programme with a different vaccine

Tell the people who would have died in the last few and next few weeks who haven’t that it’s a waste of time- if it keeps some people alive until a booster for variants comes along they might disagree with you.
Equally if it stops long covid for those who would have survived anyway reducing load on nhs also good.

I see that all of the usual socialist suspects are out in force (or home on furlough) blaming 'The Tories' for everything
Well just in case you haven't noticed 'The Tories' are ahead in the polls once again (CON:41%, LAB:37%, LIB.DEM:WhoCares)
So it seems that Sir Keir Hindsight is just as good in front of an open goal as Comrade Corbyn was

Why, do we vaccinate against the harmless common cold? Which is what the vaccine does, renders Covid harmless.
They ALL work against serious illness, which should reduce the burden on the NHS!
I hope you're going to the back of the queue for the Oxford vaccine, you obviously have no confidence in it.
If you do not have faith in the vaccine then do not take it, simple as that.

Kier Starmer...toothless, soon to be kicked out by Momentum.
I booked a holiday, in Cornwall, and for the middle of SEPTEMBER. That should give enough time for the vast majority to have received their vaccinations, and only then will it be safe enough to go outside, but not before.
Yeah I’m in this boat too. We are seeing actual leadership for once, a plan and a cautious approach. Yes last year would have been nice, but I don’t fancy being in lockdown in 2022 because a few folk are being selfish and believe they are entitled to sit on a Spanish beach
How many of you on this page live on social security or in subsidised housing on a permanent holiday never having contributed to any of the heath care you receive, well once you have prevented any one making a living and paying taxes it will all come to an end for you and homelessness and early death due to not being able to have a NHS beckons

Who is telling the truth about the current situation regarding holidays?
Do we believe the Government Ministers, or the scientists?
If the wonderful Prime Minister of the United Kingdom wants anyone to believe him, despite the fact that he NEVER answers a question, he MUST, if nothing else, invest in a comb for his hair!
As the PM of the UK, his appearance is an absolute disgrace!
