No Green pass in the UK. Unacceptable for citizens. The British are not the Italians

Boris Johnson's government renounces any Green Pass or Health Pass project, although it has assumed its introduction at the end of September. This decision came after British lawmakers across the political spectrum expressed strong opposition to these plans in recent days.

Speaking on the BBC's "The Andrew Marr Show" on Sunday, the health secretary said he "never liked the idea" of forcing people to show their IDs in daily activities, although he felt this choice might have some utility.

"What I can say is that we have reviewed it properly and while we should keep it in reserve as a potential option, I am pleased to say that we will not go ahead with plans for vaccination passes," confirmed Health Minister Sajiv Javid.

The health secretary added that the government should not make its own choices just for the fun of it or because others do. "So many countries, at the time they implemented it, wanted to try to increase their vaccination rates, and the choice is understandable, ”he said.

Javid said England has so far been "very successful" with its vaccination rates, with 55 per cent of young people aged 16-17 receiving their first doses just one month after vaccinations were offered to this age group. The health secretary then confirmed that he wanted to get rid of the obligation of PCR tests for international travel as soon as possible. Today the British government also announced a measure that provides for the cancellation of numerous emergency, economic and security minsures. Back to normal and the rights of citizens are restored.

In Italy the parliament yearns to impose constraints on citizens, while in the UK a transversal alignment prevents the imposition of the Green Pass. Are we really two different peoples? Has EU membership really bent us spiritually to the point that we no longer appreciate freedom, not having to present a justification for normal acts such as taking a train or going to a restaurant? I ask, for a friend who has been missing from Italy for a long time.
