Look, he’s the PM’s dad, give him a break.

Covid-19 does not differentiate between linguistic profiles and the NHS is not differentially burdened according to linguistic profile so linguistic profile should not be a factor in calling people for vaccination.

Those that do/did pay taxes and NI contributions (over many decades) go first
Those that do/did not, go last.

Good general rule: if you feel the need to preface your comments with "I'm not racist but..." or similar, you should probably rethink the comment.

Cos every bugger nowadays labels people as racist for having an opinion

agree

It was a statement, not an opinion.

Those who don't speak with an English accent and were not born in the UK may have been in the UK since the 1950's
They have paid their dues, they get the jab first.

So, are you saying all British citizens aren't considered equal?

A racist opinion, in your case: that people with accented English deserve poorer health care.
