They are very obviously using a strategy of getting their intentions out early so by the time the government enact it officially the vast majority of the population will have either grown used to the idea already or taken up a position supporting it because they see the people against it as their political enemy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Seen Rees Mogg absolutely jumping the shark with the "masks are for the scum" vibes. I really hope compliance ends here and now. It won't, but it should. Fucking tories man 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is definitely what’s happening as we’ve seen it several times already in this pandemic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven W Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 1 hour ago, Todd_is_God said: What social distancing? There are 4 solutions to reduce case numbers among school aged children. 1. Do nothing. Allow cases to naturally peak. This is what we did. 2. Mass vaccinate school kids. Use gym halls like normal vaccine days. 3. Extend the Mid-Term holiday by one week and return on the 8th of November instead. 4. Close schools. There is little point in introducing restrictions elsewhere to reduce cases, as the case numbers in all other age groups are relatively low and fairly stable. I suspect the UK Gov is firmly in favour of option 1 and, given how it played out up here, that seems a fair decision. Problem is the media have the bit between their teeth just now, and the UK Gov might just have to buckle and give in under the pressure 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Credit to NS, as a couple of months back she told them to sit down and shut up when rumours / pressure was circulating in the press up here. Reckon the UK Gov will do the same when push comes to shove. Edited October 21, 2021 by Abdul_Latif 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elixir Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Normality in London this week has been absolutely fucking glorious, but has highlighted just how far behind in the Covid stone age Scotland is from moving on while the mandatory theatre persists. It's genuinely very sad and rather embarrassing. As for the NHS weirdos who think our lives need to be restricted on and off like a tap to try and make theirs a bit easier can go to hell. Frankly, nothing could make me want to see it privatised more than the utter shit they are coming out with. Stay the f**k out of our lives, or give me a refund on my tax contributions to it, please. -6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salt n Vinegar Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 The more I read comments by folk who seem to believe that Covid is just something they can ignore, and that sensible measures to try to reduce it are somehow nothing to do with them, the more I understand why football supporters are generally held in such utter contempt. What a bunch of "I'm alright Jack" wastes of skin. -11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devi clearly has no idea what will happen and is just covering all the bases to make sure she is on record saying what ends up being correct. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salt n Vinegar Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Just now, oaksoft said: Every single person is selfish. Every single one. To pretend otherwise is infantile and to actually believe otherwise is beneath contempt. Expected sort of response, but it's Bollocks. Infantile behaviour is folk knowing what they should do, and refusing to do it. No better than the childish idiots who accosted staff in a hospital and handed them papers alleging "Nuremberg" trials pish, ot the diddies who put up a scaffold outside Parliament. "Oooh, amn't I hard because I say I'm standing up to the" Man". Away and lie in yer ain pish. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"duty to society" This is the first interaction I've had with it, so it was a genuine question. Maybe direct your hysterical shite to an appropriate source - wonder why this society-dependent measure that just needs to exist can so easily have the pish ripped out of it. But nah, I'm sure it's all just scum like me who're spoiling things, not those mandating it who clearly have no idea what they're doing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
