    It's sad so many believe the rubbish out out about vaccinations..Vaccines have been around for Many many decades and are proven to work..Stop being so ignorant but not all need to be vaccinated as only as certain percentage need it to kill this virus..There you are now you know.

    I cant have the vacibe because of my health and the medication I tske  so I don't need to make the choice I don't have the flu vaccination but I can see why people are scared because its something thst could  be detrimental  but as I said there is risk with anything I had a cataract removal 4 weeks ago I cancel twice but I was ready this time around because I couldn't see but that was because of the risks that they told me could happen  but I couldn't see any way so I took the risk I can see now but touch wood  things are going OK  I tske itvobe day at a time and don't tske anything for granted  so at the end of the day its a person's choice

    lisathomas50  Also London in Tier 4. I'm unlikely to have my usual Christmas. I usually feel that my life is just one run of lonliness, without anyone giving any real help to solve that. With not likely to even have a Christmas, will simply be unbearable!

    Yes I will have it when it is offered to me.

    I would like to thank @soconfused for the best laughs over this issue. Here is my favourite line:

    The whole world needs to wake up and smell what Boris and his (getting rich doing it) cronies are shovelling.

    To find someone who actually believes that this bunch of incompetent idiots are capable of conceiving and implementing such a world wide scam is just so funny.

    So parts of England went into tier 3 lockdown because of a spike in the rise of Covid. The rise being mainly among those between 11 and 18, but the schools and colleges remained open. Today they cried a new Tier 4 and still they plan to have the schools and education open.

    Retirement ages have been going up, yet our education system has been under assault for the last decade at least. So suddenly there is a call for education centres in every town. We already have them, they are called colleges, those institutions which used to help retrain adults into jobs that needed people and provided various other forms of education until the funding for them was pulled away.

    Personally I'm not surprised that some Tory MPs are unhappy with the recent grants given by UNICEF. It represents external validation of what most of us know what has been going on with the Conservatives in the last decade, or usually when they are in power.

    Boris is hardly and intellectual giant, so to believe this is one huge world wide scam by him and his cronies is just laughable.

    Perhaps smell some of the stuff you are trying to shovel on us? 

    As an individual I stood alone.

    As part of a community I helped to create change!

    It doesn't have to be unbearable ?
    My Niece died just before xmas day many years ago now. Ever since, her dad (my brother) and family have had a delayed xmas every year - to celebrate real xmas day without her is too painful as she loved xmas so much.

    This year is not normal for anyone who would otherwise celebrate the day, everyone is in the same boat, I think a lot will choose a different day when it's safer ?

    Its good talking here to an extent and like I talk to so many folk out there, in different countries on places like hangouts and stuff. Sites like that I can say so much more about myself. Whether I can actually get to meet any of those folk, from places like The States and Ghana, remains to be seen though.

    @m_burrell82 I have made some good friends in the States and have been fortunate to meet some of them. The worst experience I have had in these meetings was taking a couple of ladies, with the family, to a pub in the middle of a tourist area in London and ordering coffee with cream. The coffee was okay, but seriously whipped cream from a can?? 

    Fortunately this year our plans won't be spoilt. We spend it together as a family, if you can count three different tv's being on in three different rooms 'being together' debatable. We do spend some time together though, eating, a couple of games, opening presents. It suits us as there is very little expectations of each other and we don't have to try and meet the expectations of others.

    While I can certainly understand that this is a time people who are alone can feel very lonely, but being around toxic partners, parents or even children can be just as lonely with a large dose of abuse thrown in. Throw in the type of year we have had, and I have seen a report on tv saying that drinking alcohol has gone up significantly I just hope people have the courage to ask for help if they need it. That said, it definitely does not diminish the issues faced by single people who are on their own this Christmas, and especially for those who had hoped to spend a few days with family or friends but cannot do so now.

    All I can suggest is try to reach out if you are feeling particularly lonely, be it online, calling someone just to wish them a merry Christmas, perhaps arrange a time to call in advance so you don't catch them while they are eating, or have something else planned. I know one of my biggest concerns this year has been what will happen to our elderly residents who are often invited to parties at the local hospital, or charity.  Sadly I have not had the time or energy this year to be proactive, but fortunately do know that some of the other residents have already made plans to ensure they are at least contacted by someone, with a few surprises for them on the day.
