What a farce!

There's either a danger from this virus or there isn't. How can you have an "exemption" for the Euros but not for anything else?

Constant shifting of the goalposts by a government who frankly seem to be pissing in the wind.

If they're happy to have 45,000 gathering at a football stadium then FFS just open everything up again and let's get on with living our vaccinated lives.

Agree the more boris lifts lockdown the sooner we get on with our lives and the harder for drakeford to be bloody minded and refuse to do
same.....

They have 18,000 at cricket.

Maybe they are testing the system, maybe using measures like vaccination passports and negative check.

No one has said what they aren’t not allowing from 21 June but half full stadium is still not total relaxation which is what was planned.

Convenient that the games in England have these rules.

Oh and the knockout games at Wembley. All of which won’t have England.

Ffs.
