That was my attitude towards the rumours which have been leaked mischievously and I'm sure sometimes intentionally by our government over the past fortnight, trying to assess public mood and what they can get away with. Some MP's have been against the idea, some have called it 'un-British' whatever that means. I'm not interested in the political side of it but on purely practical grounds I thought it would be nonsense to try and go for a pub lunch with, say, my son and at the door be challenged for our 'passports' which I would have but my son would not so we would be turned away. That's only one of many things that occurred to me.
Yes Please
But I've changed my tune after a sound spanking and lecture from my husband which corrected my thinking and considerably warmed my bottom. It didn't get me sex either, well not at the time although I did 'apologise' to him later for having argued the unarguable, as he put it. He told me the economy re-opening couldn't be slowed down just because a fast reducing minority of the population were still waiting for their turn for jabs or, worse, that a much smaller minority refused to have the jabs on principle which was clearly by their own choice and they didn't have to make that choice but if they did they knew the consequences.
He accepted there was a small percentage of people who couldn't take the vaccine for some genuine reason so their situation had to be addressed, testing would be one way he thought, there might be others too, but the thrust of his argument was that you can't penalise a growing majority of the population by denying access to places and you can't reasonably expect them to enter a place which might contain infected individuals. Not after all the suffering and sacrifices of the past year or so. Issues of privacy etc were nonsense, he said, set against a global crisis which we are trying to get out of.
So I'm not saying my husband is right, just that in my now opinion he probably is so I guess bring on the passport app or however they decide to do it, if they do it in the end. And if I ever moan about having to use it, please P, don't hesitate to correct me again:)
Stay safe.
Have a good week.
Ronnie
