Granny Danger Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Just back from Sainsbury’s, just got the the top of an aisle when a woman passed about two feet from me and sneezed. Normally you wouldn’t think twice about something as innocuous but in the present climate... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I havent really seen anyone claiming much degree of certainty, just folk discussing their opinions with a smattering of folk behaving like absolute cocks into the bargain* *That part not levelled at you in this instance. I like the "in this instance" disclaimer. That's doing a lot of work for a throwaway phrase. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeTillEhDeh Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 If you read tweets about Trump you would genuinely think that large swathes of the US populace are as thick as pigshit.Some real revisionism going on right now regards coronavirus - Trump saying it's WHO's fault - and the morons are just lapping it up. Some of them actually believe that Trump was doing more than WHO in January and February - there's gullible and there's your average US citizen. It's clear that when the bodybags really start piling up then he'll be using the racist card - blame Johnny Foreigner for causing it etc etc. And the simpletons will fucking soak it up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

resk Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 We were all given letters to carry with us as we were told the authorities could ask to see proof that we were "critical workers".Okay, but there's no law saying only "critical" or "key" or "essential" workers can go to their work (again, AFAIK, just an internet gluepot etc). Maybe that will change if things get worse and more restrictive laws are passed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hk blues Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 22 hours ago, WATTOO said: This is precisely why a change is needed. I'm sick of this ridiculous argument that you need mega rich people so that Governments can then take a small percentage in tax which amounts to a huge contribution in actual terms, you then get the argument that you can't piss them off or they'd pay even less. No, I'm sorry, You can't have one or two rich individuals dictating policy to Governments and tens of millions of citizens but unfortunately that's EXACTLY what we have. When you have a situation where individuals from the world of Sport and Entertainment are actually personally funding Hospitals and Medical Equipment out of their petty cash, then that really should have alarm bells ringing. TIME FOR CHANGE !!! Again, we know the problem but what's the solution? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
