Underfund NHS

Claim it can't deal with the load 

Sneak in private companies 

Eventually offer a seemingly cheap private alternative 

Line you and your mates pockets 

 

Repeat with all other public services

I don't mind boozers becoming table service. I really dislike standing at a busy bar trying to make eye contact with some stressed out person getting shouted at. 
 

Just bring it to the bloody table so I dinna have to get up. Lovely.

There should be a better system in place for when you're standing at a bar that rewards first come first served. Trying to catch someones eye is a pain in the arse and fucking boils my blood if some cunt who hasn't been waiting as long gets served before me.  Always pissed me off that. Has started a good few fights as well. 

I don't get too angry about it, it's one of those things that's just any man for himself. It's frustrating more than anything. A proper cunt if you're in a busy pub though and you're stood for like 15-20 mins with no orderly queue. 
 

The better way IMO, is just do table service everywhere from now on. 
 

The stand at the bar guys are usually regulars anyway so probs get their orders fairly pronto.

Stand at the bar all day but on a Fri/ Sat night that’s just a hassle, if the place is busy. 
 

Club T’s tiny bars in the 80’s bit is always a fucking nightmare for a drink

Go through to the 90's bit, easily served a bottle of hooch and have a sing along to She's Electric at the same time.

Labour and Lib Dem should've done the same and finished off Bojo. Seems crazy what they have done.

Bring back Corbz

I think he's playing the long game, looking prime ministerial. Might backfire though.

GET YOUR BOOSTER...

Mad dash for people to get it in a mass panic.

Isn't it NHS workers that work there? So basically over running the NHS.

 

Pushing cancer patients and the likes to the back of the queue.  Selfish cunts

I thought you got an appointment through the post so how can there be a rush?

Nah you can turn up and get one.  Long queues the past couple of days apparently

Fuck that. Just wait till we're in lockdown and it'll be a lot quieter.

Taking a big risk that, you might develop a mild headache before lockdown

You book appointments online. Think it's being done in sequence with the priority groups as per previous vaccines. 

My dad (one of the first priority groups) certainly got his about 6 weeks ago. My mum about 3-4 weeks ago. 

Im not sure how cancer patients are being pushed to the back of the queue tbh. Perhaps NEM can elaborate. 

[NEM]

You can walk in without an appointment. 

Would have thought that obvious tbh.  They're targeting 1 million booster shots per day, who do you think's administering them?  Santa and his elves?

Already a huge NHS backlog created by the response to Covid which will only be made worse by the latest over reaction.

My old dear defo got her through the post.

It was appointments through the post for those in certain categories. Letters then sent to encourage people to book appointments for jabs. The mrs couldn't get one for a good couple of weeks. Then suddenly it was 'we'll get everyone done by new year' ?

My mates mrs tried that when he was getting his jab at the weekend. Turned away at the door as no appointment. 
 

there was no queue and there was loads of staff on administering

NHS website says you can walk up.  Couple of folk at my work did just that yesterday

They’re already on at the media saying more restrictions might be needed. Less than 24 hrs since the last ones were introduced ffs.

A pretty outrageous claim to make, designed purely to increase the fear amongst the easily manipulated. Its a brazen attempt to emotionally blackmail the public. By their own admission, not enough is known about this variant to say how severe or otherwise it'll be. It may well be more transmissible, but we now have the absurd situation (again) where the triple jabbed have to isolate if a close contact tests positive (until tests prove your are not a leper and are free to return to society). Services will no doubt ground to a halt as otherwise healthy people sit at home whilst businesses become short-staffed again.

Slowly slowly catchy monkey.  They're just warming us up for full lockdown again

Got my booster on Sunday just past in Airyhall.

Booked online over a week before the appointment, was plenty slots available then. That was before the government started pishing the bed though.

I booked mines last night for this Friday AM. 

Fuck knows how busy it'll be when I go though.

I booked an appointment once eligible and had it yesterday. They had two queues going for appointments and for drop ins. Drop ins was massive.
