    In which case, better to describe them as anti vaccine passport rather than anti lockdown, they are two different things.

    Though the clips that I have seen suggest they are just anti-vax and will just undermine any serious protest against the particular policy of vaccine passports

    I think too many are too keen to create a binary world.
    I don’t support Boris’ anything.

    But if I only had the choice between Boris and vaccine passports, or the bunch of cu nts in London yesterday, then sign me up as a Tory.

    I believe that the government are upping the pressure on people to get vaccinated (including a threat of passports) and if that works and means everyone can get back to football, that’s a good thing. And clearly a better option than some ex nurse proposing a re-run of the Nuremberg trials to hang health workers administering vaccines.

    How’d you feel if I decided that you’re a supporter of that crank, the same as you label me a supporter of Boris?

    Once again, let’s be grown ups and quit with the false equivalence:)

    Using threats to enforce medical procedures cannot be defended or supported in any way shape or form

    Think there was protests all over the country yesterday opposing the vaccine passports definitely leeds aswell.

    But you and so many others are behind boris's plans for vaccine passports for nightclubs sporting events etc when even with 2 jabs the virus is still able to be spread. Yes its obvious the government are upping the pressure as you put it to get vaccinated more like twisting peoples arms imo.

    I agree but how does having or not having vaccine passport become a threat?

    I wasn't twisting anything and Donny red used the word threat I simply replied to him.

    I replied directly to this comment "I believe that the government are upping the pressure on people to get vaccinated (including a threat of passports)"

    Y don’t have kids do ya?
    Eat your dinner, it’s good for you

    If you don’t eat your dinner you can’t go play out with your mates.

    I guess it depends whether you think it’s appropriate for the Government to have a parent-child relationship with it’s citizens.

    I think it’s appropriate for the government to use very common communication methods in order to keep its citizens safe.

    But then I’m not criticising everything they do because I’m having a tantrum about a worldwide event that’s not of their making :)

    For me trying to encourage a 7 year old to eat his dinner and trying to force adults to have a vaccine for a illness with a survival rate of near on 100% for under 40s, by saying if you don't have it you can't go abroad, nightclubs, sporting events is abit different imo.

    You lost the argument at my bold.

    Have a word with yourself, or maybe a look in a dictionary

    You’re entitled to your opinion, I’m not gonna get upset because some bloke who can’t tell the difference between cajole and force doesn’t like my writing style ;)

    I think pressure would be a more appropriate word and I don't think anyone should be pressured into taking a vaccine. Especially not young people who aren't at much of a risk.

    You’re entitled to your thoughts, I think pressure is still too strong and your original description was force.

    The issue isn’t what the risk is to a younger person, it’s that if we don’t get enough people vaccinated we don’t reach herd immunity and will inevitably end up in a cycle of lockdowns.

    So any young person just measuring the risk of death and deciding not to get vaccinated is simply putting their own convenience before the good of the whole country.

    I’d like to get back to normal, so I can’t understand why someone would think it’s ok for them to choose not to get a vaccine, then complain they can’t go to the football or worse still start gobbing off when we have to go back into a lockdown because we didn’t reach herd immunity.

    Simple cause and effect.

    you can argue night clubs are a luxury that is fair to forfeit ( I dont agree by the way)
    - but going to University can you justify this as well

    Nope. Everyone knows what side I fall on with these debates in general, but this is getting a little bit China-ish for my liking!
