Discussion: UK anti-vaxx 'freedom' morons, protests and QAnon idiots

Passports, driving licenses, gun licenses, library cards, credit cards, debit cards, supermarket loyalty cards.

No idea where you're getting this idea we're all embracing it. Loads of people on here have been clearly against vaccine passes, mandatory vaccination, and similar measures. And those in favour of it are usually far from enthusiastic, but consider it a needed temporary public health measure.

I never said you're all embracing anything. I was speaking to krtek

I'm not sure the british government of 1853 is the model we should be basing current day governance on tbf

At least they built the railways on time...

And within our lifetime all to be packaged into one convenient, centrally accessible system that tracks your gps coordinates and has the power to tell you where you can go or not. What could possibly go wrong?

Let me guess - this 5G tech is actually the prelude to cellular deathrays and AI drones ?

Well the central system for one. You've obviously never been anywhere near the implementation of a UK public sector IT system... police forces have to phone up their neighbours to transfer incidents by voice, multi billion pound government schemes are run on Excel spreadsheets. Even national insurance numbers don't have a check bit or anything remotely similar. Besides who in government is really going to b worried about bilge spouting nutters, some MI5 work experience lad? they can barely keep on top of the actual terrorists and Russian spies...

and American "police procedurals" on the telly-box.

Lately I've been considering getting my DNA evaluated so I can voluntarily upload it to the police-accessible database so I could help nail any criminals in my greater family.

I blame people smoking weed, listening to The Prodigy, and spending too much time watching idiots talk on the internet.

You could achieve multiple objectives by sending a jar of your own piss to the local plod every week.

I've smoked weed and listened to the prodigy. Not sure I should comment on the latter.

Ditto.

So, I think we can rule out smoking weed and listening to The Prodigy, and just focus on watching idiots talk on the internet.

Urine does not contain DNA. There may be some epithelial cell fragments in freshly expelled urine but the ammonia will soon degrade any DNA they contain.

Hilarious

I wasnt referring to DNA but rather some attempts at humour and aspects of gentlegreens history of medical concerns, although I accept that probably wouldnt have been clear.

The server fund deserves my money either way. For all the stick I get here, I do enjoy the place.

We're going to a concert in Plymouth in two days time. We've got to show proof of vaccination or booster, on pieces of flimsy card issued to us when we got the jab, no photo id, nothing else. Big brother truly is watching us.

For what? Those are two of my favourite things.

I had to sign up to the NHS England website (I am not from England), create an user account, link to my NHS number and produce a QR Code for two recent gigs.

Yes, fuck the covid passport. It just gives people a false sense of security and then they don't wear masks or socially distance because they think they have the pass and are ok. Wearing masks works...I think that's what should be enforced more, not an useless covid passport.

I didn't know that sort of stuff was happening. That's not good. It also penalises people without computers, smart phones etc etc. And all still capable of forgery anyway.

I've been this way always. It's the world that went fucked. And you embraced it.

I ended up being given some NHS Wales number to arrange my QR-card-sporting vaccine passport.

I needed it for the Erasure gig we went to in Cardiff a few weeks ago, and in December, when I meet my mate in Manchester to see Madness (with Squeeze in support! ), I'll need the same passport then as well.

Plus very probably I'll need it for various festivals next summer also.

Doesn't bother me much if at all!

Organising getting the thing posted was a slight hassle, but to me, live music is a whole stack more important than getting in any way stressed/worried about having to get a vaccine passport. Whatever!
