On the whole I support the short delay - We know that the Government have allowed in a variant which is somewhat resistant to existing vaccines - in particular to a single dose and therefore it does seem to make sense to give that extra bit of time with relatively limited rules just to make absolutely sure we never have to go backwards.
What will be fun to see is if England do well in the football - The final is on Sunday July 11th with the final at Wembley. If England were to win then good luck to anyone who would try and enforce any restrictions!
Never mind about the final, there is the England vs Scotland game at Wembley on Friday.
About 3,000 Scottish fans have tickets, but there are rumoured to be about 20,000 people planning to travel from Scotland to London, despite no official "fan zone" being organised for them. (Well done Sadiq Khant)
Some Scottish fans who have made reservations to watch the game in pubs in London have had their reservations cancelled at the last minute.
Trafalgar Square is going to be a "socially distanced ticketed fan zone" for "key workers only". (Good luck to whoever is going to have to enforce that)
As a result, many Scottish fans are rumoured to be gathering in Hyde Park, which will no doubt require a big clean up operation at the weekend.
My father was a policeman in London during the 1970s and 1980s, and whenever Scotland played England at Wembley the police much preferred to have all the Scottish fans congregating in Trafalgar Square, and tolerated them jumping in the fountains etc, because that was much easier for them than having the fans running all over the West End causing havoc.
