I think Dav3 has a good point. This is exactly the kind of Trumpian dangerous Covid-denying stuff that has been been banned by Twitter and Facebook.

In as much as political opinion isn’t allowed in this forum I think this crap from 1-11/ESP has been allowed for too long.
We’ll just delete any such posts in future and if there’s any fallout we’ll deal with the perpetrators.
Yaaaaaaaaaaasssssssssssss.Time to dust the old ban hammer down. :lol:
Ready and waiting folks.

The Marina is stunning Paris. If you havent been, its just delightful.
My best advice would be ( if the good lady is with you) to go to Friday Brunch ( ladies Day) at the Westin on Jumeraih Beach
£100 huckleberries. 12.00 noon till 4 pm.
All you can eat. All you can drink. Fantastic music. Boogie the day away. Great entertainment.
And 5 minute walk away there is a beach bar to continue in once the brunch is finished.

All noted cheers... Friday brunch (I’m informed is a not to be missed event) missed it last time as travelled home same day, but made sure I have a Friday included this time.

Point of order for those who harbour the opinion that the Scottish Government are penalising the travel industry whereas the English administration is ‘on its side’.

Covid: Summer holidays abroad 'unlikely', warns government adviser

Summer holidays overseas are "extremely unlikely" because of the risk of travellers bringing coronavirus variants back to the UK, a scientist on a government advisory body has said.

The UK faces a "real risk" if people travel abroad, Dr Mike Tildesley said.

Foreign holidays are currently not allowed and returning travellers have to quarantine.

Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said it was "too early to tell" when holidays abroad would be allowed.

To a fully vaccinated UK - at least a "herd immunity" level??? This is a good way to discourage getting the vaccine as it gets you almost nothing. As to variants - you probably saw that infections in South Africa (you know the variant they keep telling us is scary) have fallen off a cliff. But that story disappeared quickly.
