I just absolutely DETEST social distancing now, and hearing "social distancing" and "socially distanced". If I hear those dreaded phrases suddenly when I'm not expecting whilst watching TV, my immediate reaction is to say or shout "Oh shut up!!!". I just can't stand that this social distancing nonsense has dragged on for over a year now and the problems, hassle and disruption it has caused me. I'm absolutely hoping like absolutely mad that 21st June we finally see the end to this nonsense restriction once and for all, and I(and indeed millions of others) can start getting their normal life back again. If it is announced next month(or is it 14th June?) that following a review that "social distancing must continue until at least the end of the year" or whatever I will be extremely angry about this, and don't know how I'm going to cope to be honest. I really can't take this for much longer now. It's really worn me down. I can't live my life properly whilst this nonsense still drags on! Many other people will be feeling just the same as me. The past 13 months I regard as a complete and utter write-off because of all these ridiculous lockdowns and restrictions.
I don't really believe though that the government wants these measure to continue beyond June. The problem is though that Johnson is too easily swayed by the likes of SAGE, Whitty, Vallance and other so called "top experts", "top scientists" or whoever. So there is a real danger that these people could get their way again, and get this nonsense restriction dragged on for a while longer. And if it drags on into the autumn, the next thing they'll be saying is "We've got the winter cold/flu season coming up soon, so therefore social distancing and face mask wearing must continue.". We just can't have this situation happening.
If social distancing continues beyond June, then nightclubs will still not be able to reopen, it will put an end to any of the many festivals that are still intending to go ahead after 21st June, cinemas and theatres won't be able to reopen fully and survive financially, many pubs/restaurants/cafes won't be able to survive financially and will go under. Just a few examples. It will be an absolute disaster for many in the hospitality business. We just can't have this situation happening!
We were told by Johnson and other government ministers that "These vaccines are our way out of all these restrictions, and our route back to normal life.". Well 21st June(over 6 months since the vaccination programme started!!), this really had better be the case. Absolutely no stupid claptrap reasons as to why these ridiculous restrictions must continue any longer! Enough is enough!
