    After paying the bills you will have money left to eat canned food only. I would rather retire in thailand.

    Well done Tories

    A disproportionate number seem to have been from ethnic minorities, so I would question your maths. There have been 20 million folks jabbed, and they're still doing the over 65's. I reckon the OAP bigot quotient is largely intact, and I look forward to making up the numbers in due course...

    They're probably secretly kicking themselves that they didn't just let it rip a year ago.
