You'll see more anarchy on the streets here in the UK, before you see a sun lounger in Ibiza......
How's that for a depressing post......

the issue is we won't have any jobs ourselves if that's the way things go.

Don't you just love a bit of positivity on a Tuesday morning Mark Drakeford says Wales will not be back to normal in 2021 and another Covid wave is inevitable - Wales Online
In fairness Mark Drakefords approach with not rushing things has been consistent so his comments should come as little surprise.
The Wales on line newspaper is pretty well renowned here for not reporting things accurately and consistently poor journalism.
We've had some positives in Wales though, with hairdressers being able to reopen, holiday accommodation etc..
So not all doom and gloom, and really nice to be taking some steps with the easing of restrictions.

For a few years I can see it like going back to the 60's; rock up at a "resort" and find just local bars open and nothing touristy apart from the odd stall. Then, of course, there was no alternative - now you will have empty bars, hotels, restaurants, beach cafes - they will gradually find new owners and start to reopen; it's not as if a huge resort needs building up from scratch.
The airlines might have collapsed, but the aircraft and trained pilots, engineers etc will still be there wanting jobs, a perfect time to start a new "IbizaGO" air company (hints!).
I can see a lot of stuff being available on the cheap and a lot of demand post 2023 if anyone wants to make a million or ten!

I know it’s the sun and the headline is misleading (i think) but this is where people are getting that info fromi think the 5k fine is if you go on holiday before the 17th may!! although this is likely to be extended
Holidays abroad BANNED until July with £5k fine for trying to leave the country
HOLIDAYS abroad for people in England will be BANNED until July with Brits facing the risk of a £5,000 fine for trying to leave the country. Under new Covid laws, which were published by ministers …

All you need to look at is the American attitude to guns (which still isn't going to change after two more mass shootings in a few days) - I think that tells you everything you need to know about much of American society. Money and individual freedom count above everything (women's reproductive rights excepted).

Yes, it's something that's been mooted for ages but as usual they took ages to actual put it through parliament. This has zero impact on whether rules will or won't be released.
Similar thing as the coronavirus act being extended until September and people saying that's because they're definitely planning to keep us in lockdown. No, it's just how the legislation is designed, it has an expiry date of 2 years from the beginning, to be reviewed every 6 months.

My belly size has probably gone during lockdown from 32-34" to just above 34". Dunno why I'm bothered, no-one's gonna look at me at my age! But the amount of salad I've been eating + the total cut-down in sugar must have helped, not playing hockey/volleyball hasn't.
Meanwhile - Spain's overall covid new case numbers is static - like the UK - but they haven't yet seen a consistent fall in deaths. The 7-day average has gonu up again.
Interesting stat from the UK, our death rate including covid is actually below normal - just. So fewer peeps have died recently than normal.

Does look like if you want to go and view a room in Ibiza (or anywhere) with intent to buy/rent you can. (???). Bizarre.

I wouldn't say it's bizarre. It's clear that it's aimed at their own
I agree that it's bizarre that people let them get away with it and they are up in the polls every time they do something like this. People just use the excuse that all politicians are the same, they aren't, and the tories repeatedly show this, they are a law unto themselves and it's unprecedented.
Why are people panicing ? As far as I can see we are sticking to the timetable laid out, with restrictions to be removed next Monday & 12th April.
What will be will be with holidays, but again still looking at the earliest of May 17th like they've always said. Anything else is just noise
