The vulnerable are always at risk. That's why they're referred to as "vulnerable".

Yeah, f**k them.

[welshbairn]

I'd be ok with removing mask mandates for places where still vulnerable people have a choice whether to go or not, like pubs, restaurants, football etc, but keeping them for supermarkets, public transport, hospitals and the like  for a while longer.

Bold from Old Man Danger to claim people want restrictions lifted with no regard for the consequences to others given he was "jerking off" over the Christmas free for all which killed thousands of people and saw everything closed down for months on end.

Totally agree.  Sadly “get masks in the bin” is more simplistic (and gets you more greenies).

Did he not calculate it would be a bit more than that?

^^^ I’m very left wing when left wing policies suit me; just don’t ask me to care about other people.

I’m massively left wing and extremely liberal.

I’m also pragmatic and accept that people die.

I get the impression some posters on here don’t want to be inconvenienced and would be happy to see the removal of all restrictions regardless of the potentially damaging impact on others in order to remove these inconveniences.

The use of the “impact on the economy” and “effect on mental health” arguments are just convenient excuses.

I like the practise of subsituting the words "the economy" with "rich people's wealth" helps make a bit more sense of the situation.

I'm very left wing and think the restrictions should be chucked into the nearest skip.  Particularly face masks.

Pretty easy to act the sanctimonious w****r when any potential non-covid concern for others, such as the two in the above example, have already been dismissed by yourself (with no actual basis in evidence) because they incovencience your virtuous bullshit.

You have some fucking neck criticising anyone on this thread the way you carry on, with your constant defence if the SNP at all costs, but the above is another level of embarrassment. That you even though it, let alone post it is absolutely batshit.

"Folk are just pretending to care about their livlihoods, businesses etc, and mental health cos they CBA wearing masks" is the crux of what you have just posted.

You seem to be an informative sol brother of knowledge, a higher educated man than myself, to be honest is not difficult. My sentence structure, spelling are easily fllowd.

Big question is have you ever herd this tune.  It's one of my favourites, if so PM me X 

 

Right song, wrong video.

They're not nurses, but on this occasion I believe we can be forgiving.

There’s a couple of right Tory arseholes on here who would certainly change tack if the question of mental health funding was  raised.

I've always seen this particular argument coming from the right/freedom fighters as insincere and dare I say an example of Lovejoying itself.

Dundee leading the way there as a shining example of how when the vulnerable are all vaccinated we don’t need to shite it over variants. Beautiful stuff.

Scoffing at anyone for being a "freedom fighter" probably isn't the virtuous left wing take that you think it is.

My favourite bit was his ‘evidence’ of lifting restrictions being dangerous to the vulnerable being an article where a shan Covid sufferers support group made up of entirely unqualified nobodies who don’t trust the vaccines have said so.
