You seem absolutely desperate to bring this back to your Gurdian talking points on the GBD. This is what was said to you bringing it up to me before, do not lie
Letâs keep to what this is about. Pretending that these arenât a big departure for western societies and that the way theyâve been brought in was on the back of good debate is nonsense. We had months and months to properly debate them, you give conspiracy theorists oxygen when you say that you wonât bring them in but then ram them through at the last minute.

Yes, I read The Guardian every day. So what? It is an excellent paper. I also read a lot of other newsprint. I will pass over the childish gibe, as if reading The Guardian defined my views. It does not, which is what makes people like you uncomfortable. I do not fit in any neat little ârightâ or âleftâ box. I like to think for myself.
You seem extraordinarily keen to keep asking me questions. Why, I do not understand.
I will confine myself to noting that the idea of vaccine passports as in tune with a central plank of the GBD makes you uneasy. If people think about matters a little deeper, without being in hock to right wing shibboleths, many things become apparent. Of course, the GBD is a crock of right wing shite, the usual stuff from the usual suspects. And the fact that sundry âlibertariansâ are now terribly put out about vaccine âriskâ and vaccine âcurtailment of freedomâ makes me coldly laugh. The ultimate freedom is not to become seriously ill or die.
Vaccine passports are here to stay for the moment. What would answer your criterion (âon the back of good debateâ) is hard to say, because you are rigidly anti anything that derives from state action and so cannot think properly about such issues.
Given time, life will return to something approaching normality. But there are going to be a lot of difficult cases around employment.
