I didn't say they will be vaccinating everyone in December. I even indicated it will only be a game changer when rolled out but I expected those on here to either ignore potentially good news or find a way of dissing it. Here's an article from the Mirror which may make it more believable even though it doesn't say anything more than the Mail article posted earlier.

I see Vaughan Gethin got a hammering on Marr this morning for the Welsh government's confusing messaging on its firebreak. Sound familiar?
I didn't see him get a hammering, but, clearly, banning "non essential" sales without giving some sort of idea what the term entailed was going to be a problem. However, I've no problem with the logic behind the original decision in that smaller, independent shops were, effectively, being discriminated against because supermarkets had sold the goods they specialised in while they were told they had to close.
What's that got to do with anything? The point here is that specialist shops were forced to close first time around while supermarkets carried on selling the goods they traded in - that's discrimination and something should be done about it, the problem was that a term like "non essential goods" was never going to be precise enough to ensure this happened.
Maybe it would have been better if the type of shops that had to close were listed and supermarkets told they couldn't sell the goods these shops specialised in?
In a way yes, but this is specifically about shops whereby you were allowed to go into a supermarket and, say, buy a football in the spring, but not allowed to go into a specialist sports shop to do the same thing. The specialist sport shop proprietor knows that there is on line competition seven days a week/fifty two weeks a year, but in the spring, they were not allowed to compete against them or the supermarkets that sold sports goods - the current closures are not perfect for them of course, but, at least, some of the competition would not have the unfair advantage they enjoyed in the spring.
its a joke, lets be honest
My mum phoned me yesterday ( we speak most days during covid ) and was worried if her kettle breaks, she will have to boil water on the hob
Now i know she is old, hasnt a lot of think about, so someone phones her, mentioned if the kettle breaks, so she frets about it
I got on Amazon and sent her one, as a spare, thats one thing less for her to fret about she will find something else today i am sure
It seemed to me that the Welsh government is receiving the same kind of criticisms that the UK government faced such as unclear messaging and now a U turn is likely. Vaughan Gethin is a good media performer but he couldn't satisfactorily answer the criticisms he is receiving with regard to supermarkets being banned from so called inessential goods. That was my point.
