Other than being a sheep botherer no...
But he did comment, in general, Wales was well behind the curve...
His brother in law aged 78 was jabbed less than a month back...

You are clearly under some pressure, and I sympathise with your family situation, but you cannot complain about people breaking the rules and then turn on to the people making the rules, as you have done.
Your previous posts have indicated a strong support for the rules .. on the basis that they help stop the spread of the virus. I haven't seen a strong criticism of them from you , though your dislike of this government is infamous.
But it seems to me in your frustration you are lashing out.
Others have suggested that the rule does allow your wife to "care etc for her mum and give respite to her carer ( BiL) as he may not be best able to do the best for your wife's mum. They both seem to me to need some help.
IMHO, she would not be breaking that rule earlier outlined to you, and examined by you. It is a difficult situation which I hope your family can resolve

Please don’t ask to see my tatts 👍
Got a message off Missis T this morning re BIL has had a letter saying the NHS are giving jabs to under 60’s. So Missis T does no more than look online and books me and herself In. Got back from having a second coronavirus test and there’s a lettter for Tash To do the same. Ave got to say I was not expecting a letter this side of April so am chuffed to bits with how quick they are getting through them.

We are not turning on the people making the rules. All I am saying is that it is always easier to adhere to difficult rules that others are breaking with impunity if you respect those requiring you to adhere to them.
As it turns out my MiL has told my wife that she is ok at the moment and so not to come up at the moment, so that’s sorted, and I am not long back from having a needle stuck in my arm. And I didn’t faint ?

Got a friend who lives near Andover and was able to log on and book their vaccination today, they were offered appts at IoW, Ipswich or Accrington
They’ll try again tomorrow! So much for staying local.

That's a rather unfair attitude. Why not take up a bit of casual burglary in that case.

They are going to try daily for closer or as you say see if their GP offers an alternative.

We won’t break the rules despite everything...fortunately with mil at the moment we don’t need to. She gets that in truth we are not supposed to travel to be with and stay over.

Think of it as a gap year you spend at home, but in a few months you have to go back to work.

yep pretty poor TBH
4 neighbours have died in the last 6 weeks. 15 friends and neighbours have had in the last 8-10 weeks.
The area did really well in the first wave/lockdown a year ago. There were numbers we read in the news, but everything seemed remote, i.e. northern Spain, Italy and the rest of the world. Some even felt, maybe didn't grasp, that there was a bit of media hype in it.
When and where there's a hot spot it really does seem to get a grip. For example, the group of friends who went out on New Years Eve to a 'gig.' All of them got it, one of which died a few days back.

I have just got the letter for my first Covid jab (62 and living in Scotland). My missus had hers at the weekend (58 with health issues). I drove her down and when she came out she said that it was very quiet and the person giving the jab told her a lot of people weren't turning up for their appointments. I just don't understand it. These are people in the higher risk category who still choose not to be vaccinated. Part of me is saying that if they get ill and die as a result, they've only got themselves to blame. But it's the fact they could pass it on to others indicates the selfishness of them. Yes, I know you can still be a carrier with the vaccine, but it is less likely and anything you can do to stop the spread, I believe you have a moral duty to do.
