Keir Starmer Supports Covid Jabs For Kids and Would Vaccinate His Own 12 Year-Old

The Mirror has a scoop this evening: Keir Starmer has come out in support of the Government’s plans to vaccinate healthy 12-15 year-olds and says he’d vaccinate his own 12 year-old.

Keir Starmer has revealed that he would give his 12 year-old son a Covid jab if the vaccine to younger secondary children gets the green light.

The Labour leader said he was in favour of everybody having the vaccine “if they possibly can” to help curb the spread of the virus.

The Government’s top scientific advisers will make the final decision on jabs for the U.K.’s four million 12 to 15 year-olds within days.

Ministers are then expected to “press the button” on the NHS roll-out as quickly as possible to get needles into pupils’ arms.

With millions of secondary school children now back in the classroom in England and Wales, the Government increasingly concerned about a spike in Covid infections in coming weeks.

Ministers have confirmed that parents of 12 to 15 year-olds will be asked for consent before their children are given a Covid jab – although a loophole exists that could mean youngsters have the final say.

In an interview with the Mirror, Mr Starmer said: “Only one of our children falls into that bracket but I am in favour of everybody having the vaccine if they possibly can.

“Therefore if the advice is for that age children to have it, we would follow that advice.”

The Labour leader also urged ministers to speed up the booster process with the elderly given a third jab as soon as possible.

Worth reading in full.

Typical Starmer. Just when you think there’s a glimmer of hope that the Leader of the Opposition might actually, you know, oppose the Government, he rolls over and invites Boris to tickle his tummy.

Maybe a tadge off topic, but I had the most amusing, and also the most telling, exchange with the owner of a pub about a scotch egg. Trying to get a pint without ordering a three course meal (back in the day when Covid could only attack you if you hadn’t ordered food) I tried to defuse the situation by mentioning that perhaps I could have a nice scotch egg with my pint. The landlady then went on a full five minute tirade about how a scotch egg was definitely not a ‘substantial meal’. I actually learnt a lot about people from that one 5 minute exchange. More than I had in my previous 49 years. That actually set me up for the rest of the irrational nonsense that followed. The power of a scotch egg!

Propaganda works. Acceptance is much easier than thinking.

Good theatre/cinema is very effective propaganda. Bravo to all those involved; and let there be more of it.

P.S. I do like the sound of your musical. Were you thinking of a sort of Life of Brian crucifixion scene, or did you have something like Les Mis in mind? I rather fancy a new version, called The Miserables. It would start with misery and end with a sort of V for Vendetta triumph.

Also a tad OT, but I watched Have I got a Bit More News for You last night. This was the extended version of the most recent episode, so current then. Not historic.

All the participants were STILL sitting in between perspex screens. I thought Covid had been declared to be over.

Does BBC wish it wasn’t? Is it still trying to perpetuate the fear among its audience members?

I was in Durham yesterday, they have a lot of chinks at the uni there. 90% of them at least were wandering around in face nappies. This was not happening before the pandemic.

Plenty of small theatres in Scotland that need some trade, and a populace that needs a kick up their fundament. Hopefully the Scotch egg will travel that far….

One hopes that the witty lyrics are more discernible than those that I hear in BBC radio shows that include ‘comic songs’. These are invariably performed by those whose talents don’t include a good voice or clear enunciation, which makes the whole enterprise rather pointless.
