Yes, but that is not what you said is it.?

 

 

This is one of the things that gets my goat.

 

Why couldnt the UK just take a unified position? On all aspects of managing the pandemic?

Trust me, if frustrates the hell out of most of the population too

Wearing masks in shops is mandatory but it is not helped by shops refusing to enforce the rules mainly for fear of verbal or physical abuse.

 

Also the exemption card is little known about and as pointed out is not mandatory to show or carry

 

With further changes coming tomorrow it's only going to get worse 

 

As mentioned in this and other threads there is a noticible degeneration of behaviour even before covid.

 

Too many people think it's their "uman right" to do what they want, when they want with no regards to the consequences.

 

It is enough to despair as to what the future will bring as the majority of the knuckle draggers procreate at the drop of a hat or is that underwear!

 

Oh btw I believe that the c bomb comes from the Latin cunni.

Correct.  Considered rude in every context as it refers specifically to an unchaste woman, hence its use as an insult, but the use in relation to a male is therefore erroneous.

Because the UK is not so unified, the Welsh and the Scots welcome any opportunity to distance themselves from any Westminster decision,

 

and why wouldn’t they?

Simple, because it causes confusion.

 

I understand why its happened but one would think that during the worst global pandemic in living memory the Governments of the UK could show some unity.

 

Some things are bigger than making a political point.

Listening to them, they each believe they are the clarity amongst the confusion. 

 

I dunno. Best place is on a boat.

I've travelled on London underground recently (without a face covering as I have a medical exemption) and I did find some of the intercom messages from the drivers quite aggressive. They said "for those people who just got on the train without face coverings please put your face coverings on - it is mandatory".  Or similar. 

 

I think this could be taken up in law under the equality act as bullying. 

 

It's easy to assume people are just taking the piss but a medical exemption exists and it covers certain defined conditions not all of which are obvious to an observer.

There are people out there who think its all a hoax and no one is actually dying, its the government fiddling figures 

Some mornings I wake and think it’s all bollocks, some mornings I wake and think we’re all doomed. 
 

One morning I won’t wake. 

Until then I’ll just get on with ‘stuff’.

Why are there so many shelf stackers in shops and supermarkets who don't wear masks? and why do they invade our space?

 

We are trying our best to conform ............ but! .............

Shop workers dont have to wear them. They can choose to depending on their employers policy.

 

I can sympathise with that as wearing one for a full shift is different from wearing one for a 15 to 20 minute shopping trip.

 

And are they invading your space?.............or are you invading theirs? ??

Please, there are females using this forum, using such language is not welcomed or necessary, certainly not clever.

I for one will not tolerate it, I'd rather leave.

Yes I am. I am also possible old enough to be your mother, you would not speak to your mother that way.

 

Your apology is accepted, thank you very much for your respect.  Mark of a gentleman, acknowledges his errors, and rights the wrongs.

be careful, people might use the 'K' word to describe you... usually reserved for entitled female

(not saying anybody should use foul language here though, I got a warning for using F word)

The governent don't need to fiddle figures as the ONS data for the last 2 months have shown weekly overall death figures to be normal.

 

 

 

Maybe that is because a lot of us have not been mixing and socialising for the past 4 months like we used to?

I've heard that they are called "Americans".

This link still comes up on Google surprisingly. It's an interesting take on your theory from back towards the end of April. The figures turned out twice as bad as the article suggested though.

 

https://m.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/apr/28/coronavirus-hype-biggest-political-hoax-in-history/

 

There was an Oxford Uni study at the end of May which concluded 1 in 5 people in England thought it was a hoax. That's quite surprising when we were getting over the peak. 

 

I wonder what the result would be if they carried out the study now?

The trouble with that theory is that other than a few areas like Sweden (who didn't enforce lock down and faired better than us per capita) there is little to prove it.

But the Sweeds don't tend to behave like the Brits, especially on Friday and Saturday nights

Just hammer a mooring pin up the twits’ ass and wire him to both his generators. 

 

Succinct, to the point and effective. That's the sort of advice we need!
