Anyone else okay with keeping the current restrictions for the at least the rest of the year?

Because the Government has consistently lied about the length of its restrictions, and reneged on dates for reopening.

At one point, they encouraged small business owners to buy in perishable goods, then reneged on the reopening with less than a hundred hours notice.

The two-week Level 5 lockdown lasted from December 2020 to May/June 2021, with elements of it still in place ten months into the two-week lockdown.

We were told "vaccinations are the way out of this", and now, with 92% of the population having trusted the Government that the vaccine is safe and effective, they have now turned round and said that it is not effective.

The Government's own behaviour has forfeited public trust in anything it says about restrictions.

They can restrict away, but they've long since crossed the line from people trusting them and now they're not even getting a hearing other than from the most dedicated of the NPHET tankies.
