If you ain't double jabbed, you

Firstly, I'm not entirely sure that's true. We run a nursery and we require parents to tell us what vaccinations Tarquin and Wayne have had. Secondly, so what? It's a nightclub. Nobody has an entitlement to go to a rave.

The issue is that it will be brought into pubs, theatres, cinemas and other venues where there are issues with crowds and ventilation.

This is a bad move IMO

You're not wrong. It was bad enough when they were able to deny entry based on one's shoes...

[vetran]

you mean like age apartheid?

disgusting!

I suspect there is no absolute plan to do this - it's a scare tactic to get the 30% of 18-39 year olds who think Covid won't affect them(and don't care about impacting others) to get the jabs. I fully expect at the end of September, they'll tweak this to be fully jabbed or a recent PCR test.

It will never be rolled out to pubs, cinemas etc.

I have been on the receiving end of such an injustice!

Most pubs and cinemas don't have 1000 people sweating and hugging everyone, crammed into a space they can barely fit. Clubs are trying to be bracketed with pubs but it is not the same experience at all. Obviously it happens sometimes in pubs but it's the exception not the rule. And even large pubs generally have smaller capacities than small nightclubs.

All these young people aren't allowed to go and get blasted abroad without getting jabbed, so who cares.

As for venues whinging "oh it's too difficult and expensive" - surely they are already checking IDs and so on ( ) you just show your phone as you go in.

Yeah plausible. "Uptake has been so wonderful in our excellent young people that we don't need to enforce this"

Pubs in my area are either gastro pubs, have live music or have dance floors.

So yes some pubs will be affected by this.

Us over 30s are ok we are double jabbed....

Back in my day, that was known as Grab-a-Granny night...

If you think a pub with live music and/or a dance-floor is comparable with a night-club, I'm not sure you've ever been to a night-club. Nor is a 1-hour gig once a week the same as a nightclub open 4 hours a night several days a week.
