    Am I missing something here, how can you prove that you have recently taken a lateral flow test?

    Lateral Flow tests are about as useful as sticking your finger up your own a r s e and sniffing it.

    Who’s going to monitor these tests anyway?

    Vaccine passports or stay at f king home!!

    It’s all bollox - anyone can take a lateral flow for somebody else - nobody would ever know even 48 hours before entering the country

    Absolutely 100% spot on.

    Which is why a Covid passport must come in.

    I do agree but the rule is lateral flows or PCR. You can take a PCR test for someone else also, so it's not faultless. In fact no testing system is full proof.

    Lateral flow tests are more about whittling out positives than testing.

    So have you had the jabs then Phil? Only ask as your last sentence reads as though you have.

    If so I was wondering why given your stated stance on Covid vaccination. Also, if you have been vaccinated did you have a reaction?

    You don't need to get someone to take a test for you. You don't even need to take one yourself.

    All you need to do is take the serial number from an LFT test kit, upload it, state it was negative and wait for text/email confirmation. That is all.

    There's another option too. Provide proof of a positive PCR test result within the last six months. It's not a case of the system not being full proof or even fkn idiot proof.

    It's s hit and largely unnecessary beyond being a box ticking exercise. Why? Because you can still catch it and pass it on regardless of having been vaccinated.

    And in reality a genuine negative test result is only valid from the moment you take a test. You could contract Covid without knowing it before you even get your test result.

    Covid passports are a load of old b@ll@x and a complete waste of time and resources. Their uses. Public reassurance and or compliance (depending on your take). Exhoneration of venue/government responsibility. An extra layer of identification. And sweet fk all.

    Why are so many people het up on the vaccines not fully stopping transmission and you catching the virus? Did anyone say it would? No!

    The wording from the start has been REDUCE transmission, REDUCE hospitalisations and REDUCE deaths which is exactly what it is proving to do.

    I am double jabbed 68 and had my booster ages ago - 3 shots of Pfizer so according to news reports this Omicron s hite should be neutralized. I had quite a big reaction when the pretty young nurse jabbed me!
