I WAS astonished to read in the newspapers that the England football team manager was advocating for Covid19 vaccination for the "whole of the Euro squad" for the forthcoming tournament.

Doesn't he realise that people are still dying of this pandemic, yet he wants special treatment for a squad of fit young men and accompanying officials.

Surely the question should be asked is: Why is professional sport still being played when people are still being banned from visiting dying loved ones.

Get Real Gareth Southgate. And take your place in the queue.
