Following on…

As well as the scrapping of compulsory masks, so, too the QR code scanning will go (allegedly).

Boris Johnson is set to end the need to scan QR codes when entering bars, restaurants and other venues along with removing other Covid-19 restrictions on July 19, it is reported.

I never downloaded this app and have never scanned in anywhere. I have, on occasion, given a random number to those who bothered to ask – and that was rare. By and large, I have floated through this little panic unscathed, carrying on pretty much as normal apart from being unable to work as the test centres were shut down. But I can safely say that I haven’t followed any of the government’s absurd rules.

Mine may have been a quiet rebellion, but it was a rebellion nonetheless.

  1. What’s a QR code?
    Only joking. I had to g**gle it though. I don’t own any devices which can use the thing.

  2. “…I haven’t followed any of the government’s absurd rules.”

    I can’t believe that you are still alive. My conforming has been pretty minimal and I’m supposedly in a vulnerable group, by some miracle I’ve survived so far as well.

  3. I thought QR was one of those newfangled genders so when I was asked once I said “no I’m a heterosexual man”.

  4. I’ve done my bit to defy it at every turn. Don’t wear a mask, never signed in to anywhere. It’as taken far too long but I think people are waking up at last.

  5. I was watching a cricket match on the telly where every other seat had been marked with a red X presumably so people would have to sit apart from each other. This was being ignored by everyone there.

  6. What did I say yesterday in my comment about face muzzle laws – that I’d believe it when I see it? Well, the story today is that although muzzle laws will be scrapped, businesses will be able to set their own rules. What’s the betting that all the major supermarkets and shop chains will demand muzzles after July 19th?

    So, in effect, nothing will change on “Freedom Day”. What a total bunch of fucking bastards Johnson and co are.

    • I don’t shop in places that demand muzzles. Never had a problem in Lidl, Screwfix, Toolstation, nor the village shop and garden centre. On the other hand, one local independent supermarket and a local builders merchant lost my custom a year ago and won’t be getting it back.
