This country is a very bad place.
I'd accept 'in a bad place'.

The WI have turned up at the hall for the first time in 17 months. There are over forty of them, average age around 70. Not a face mask among 'em. Ok, they'll all be double jabbed, but even so. I will be watching with interest over the coming weeks and months to see just how much protection screeching, wailing and groaning your way through Jerusalem provides against catching infectious killer diseases.

And this on the same day as the Methodist chapel across the road held a funeral for someone who died of Covid just a short while ago.

It's ok. They're obviously using their common sense. :roll:

Apparently Macron didn't Tweet this, but it seems to reflect his thinking. I'm with him 100%.

It's a tough one.

I recall having a fit of the illiberal vapours on here when those Muslim nutters were wreaking havoc, live on TV, across France. I soon rowed back from that one!

Broadly though, I am usually quite wary of the state, any state, introducing new blanket rules but this seems to me to be a matter of public health policy which cannot be derailed by the congenitally truculent. No one is talking about vaxxed-up hit squads coming in the dead of night. It is simply a matter of requiring all patrons to be as inoculated as each other so as to minimise the likelihood of death or serious illness.

Moreover, hepatitis B, meningococcus C, pneumococcus, measles, mumps, and rubella are mandatory for all children born in France. Again, a matter of public health policy.

The one caveat I would introduce is that, in the event of a poor reaction, the state should be firmly in the sling for compensation.

Politically, and with an election on the horizon, much will depend on Le Pen and her position which, says a penny to a quid, will be an opportunistic one intended to resonate with those gilets jaunes freaks and those who are banging on with their disgraceful Holocaust comparisons.

Other actions which risk the liberty and health of the public are proscribed, why shouldn't vaccine refusal? The first duty of government should always be the well being of it's citizens, that overrides all other considerations in my view. As the article says, the vaccines are the only weapon we have. People who choose to risk the health of others, should not be at liberty to do so.
