Only one had a valid medical certificate.

This is bollox as well, firstly - I don't accept it, unless you are on oxygen, and if not you should be shielding anyway, so shouldn't be out - notwithstanding this, additionally, even if it is genuine then there is nothing stopping them from wearing a face shield.

To be fair, if they have a certificate then they are not wearing a mask legally and the Police can't do anything about it, that was my point.

I am getting my jab tomorrow AstraZeneca and even got my booster date on April 1 ( April fools day Lol)

I hadn't really put the challenging together with your Police duties - but fair point. What it needs is to legislate it as a fall back position - for the benefit of others.

I'm assuming you are a Special? But some of your comments seem to infer that the training for Specials is somewhat more comprehensive than it was when I served.

From what I’ve read on-line, the Moderna vaccine, which we haven’t got, is Top Dog, closely followed by Pfizer/Biontech. The cheapo Astra Zeneca one we developed only works on monkeys, but since the majority of our population resemble the missing link, it should be just fine.

Joking by the way.

My MIL has had both doses of Pfizer/Biontech vaccines already. She suffers from so many illnesses that they seem to cancel each other out. She also doesn’t set foot outside her home, except for medical appointments, so is extremely unlikely to catch CV-19 anyway.

I see the Archbishop of Canterbury (aged 65) has jumped the vaccination queue.

[Sparky]

God's will, no doubt.

[Cdm2018]

Archbishop maybe has an underlining medical condition ? 
I only managed to get in a jab as my local service had finally been issued out with the link from the health authorities in my district.

as I look after 100 plus care and nursing homes I have not been able to get to see them, so least if there’s a serious issue I can travel to the site otherwise I have been working from home.

Something to do with him doing care work or similar. I do feel he should have turned the other cheek.

I was in Waitrose this morning and didn’t notice anyone without a mask on. Better class of shopper in Waitrose 👍

Or more able to understand the implications on their social standing if the police have to discuss it with them.

You wouldn't have thought he needed it

Might have been a bit of a publicity thing, showing that religious leaders don't believe that their faith alone will protect them.

Good job he got it done early in the week. On the 7th day he tested...

Anyone on here been jabbed yet?

Received notification this morning and immediately booked online. Earliest I could have it is 9am Friday next week. 

Who'd have thought the highlight of ones year would be receiving a vaccination eh?

Looking at all the 4x4's, it's probably an Irish traveler funeral. They wouldn't give a toss about restrictions and rules!

[ChrisJ]

It was and they didn't - apparently the were 250 yesterday visiting the body in the church - did wonder why there were a load of police cars cruising about last night.

All gone now, Police have been round apologising for the inconvenience.

[Cdm2018]

If you find yourself chewing on your Partner when you wake up tomorrow, make sure you leave instructions to destroy the brain as that's the only way to destroy a Zombie.

Good for the Govt!
