On Saturday night, Eric Clapton took the stage at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans. This event is notable not just because it alerted us to the fact that there is a music venue called “Smoothie King,” but because by doing so, the musician and public-health skeptic effectively undid the ridiculous stance he took on Covid vaccines earlier this year.
While the rest of the music industry has embraced vaccine mandates as the only way of ensuring safe concerts, Clapton has taken the opposite tack, vowing never to perform at a venue that requires proof of vaccination.
He broke that absurd promise by playing Smoothie King, which, according to its website, is following New Orleans regulations that require all ticketholders 12 and above, as well as staff and participants, to either prove they have received at least one dose of a Covid-19 vaccine or provide a negative test taken within 72 hours. Moreover, they must wear a mask while not eating or drinking.
A representative for Clapton did not immediately respond to Rolling Stone‘s request for comment, but perhaps the singer has had a change of heart. Or, more likely, adhering to the strict rules he rashly set for his tour would mean canceling several planned dates. After all, his next scheduled show, on Tuesday, at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, will require either vaccine or a negative test for entry come October.https://www.rollingstone.com/music/musi ... g-1229285/
A man who left a Donegal hospital against medical advice while suffering with severe symptoms of Covid-19 has died.https://www.rte.ie/news/ireland/2021/09 ... tal-covid/
The man passed away at Letterkenny University Hospital yesterday after later returning to the hospital.
In a video shared widely on social media, the 75-year-old was encouraged by an individual to discharge himself from the hospital, while doctors warned him that doing so could endanger his life.
It is understood he left the hospital, but returned a number of days later in a serious condition and was placed on a ventilator.
School leaders have warned about being targeted by hoax Covid vaccine consent letters, which aim to spread anti-vaccine messages to parents in England.
Head teachers have been sent a "consent checklist", under a fake NHS logo, along with a letter telling them to share this with parents.
But the checklist includes a series of negative claims about the risks of vaccinations to young people.
Head teachers' leaders say the hoax letters are "massively unhelpful".
"We would appeal for those behind these fake consent forms to stop circulating them," said Julie McCulloch of the ASCL head teachers' union...

Anyway, most of what he did was crowd control on evenings and weekends in west London. I once asked him something along these lines, and he said that there were so many ways to break the law that if a police officer wanted to arrest someone, they could. However each arrest involves processing, paperwork, writing up a follow up action list and all that palaver, so in many cases a stern talking to and hint to bugger off home - especially when doing the post-pub crowds - was sufficient. However, police will always take personal details and record the basics, and that gets added to intelligence records.
"Because they're cunts" isn't enough to bring about a successful prosecution. There must be *something* the rozzers can get them on, surely?
