In the SG "paper" released on Tuesday, they said that 97% of respondees to a survey said they were following that rule. As one of the virtue signalling middle class working from home on full pay, I've seen friends and family of most of my neighbours entering their homes since that rule returned. I have members of my family who as soon as this was announced told us that they weren't going to follow it for various reasons, if you count selfishness and laziness as a reason. We have had my wife's mother and her partner come round and sit in our garden. Her partner finds it difficult as he's a cancer survivor which lead to him losing a load of weight and he really feels the cold. He woudl periodically go and sit in his car with the heating on full blast (windows up though). My parents are both over 70 and they have cancelled visits and had family in the garden only. Both our direct neighbours (at the time) breached regulations during the Spring Lockdown but for understandable reasons. One had their son come to stay with them, while his wife was in ICU with Covid. The other had parents come in to help with the kids as the father had a heart attack. A couple of doors up also had family in during lockdwon because the father died in April. I really do live in a plague street thinking about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

effeffsee_the2nd Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Don’t see why us decent bairns are getting lumped into the naughty corner with the weegie scum, our cases are about10% of theirs. Our population is obviously smaller but not 10% of theirs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to the infection rates falling because of *checks notes* pubs and restaurants being closed, only for them to rise again in a fortnight when *checks notes* pubs and restaurants open again. Don’t be ridiculous Gaz. It’s the nail bars. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we’ll just shut down the whole country and turn the place upside down. You’re move, cunto I have vague recollections of an Air France (or somebody else in that sector) strike where a striker tore the shirt right off the back of some CEO type. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
