CambieBud Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Nothing happened in my street. Guess most felt like me that this feels partronising. Instead of Boris standing outside number 10 clapping for the cameras, he should be getting protective equipment to underpaid and overstretched health workers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philpy Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Aye I clapped. Because the wife and me know frontline NHS workers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OP Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 (edited) Seems like the Brixton videos are fake news, showing a recent tube strike or tube closure of some kind. It was sunny today in Brixton and it’s rainy in the videos. Edited March 26, 2020 by The OP 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather applaud the efforts of those in the nhs than shout "we're all fucked" from the rooftops. Anyway, my missus has checked and a few neighbours we know are joining us. The kids are looking forward to it as well, so we'll see if any other c**t joins in. How did your missus manage to check with the neighbours?

Ah well, I suppose folk will just have to die from the virus and loads of other be really ill with it and the lifting of the lockdown be delayed as the knock on infections keep happening. But to be serious, f**k knows what can be done about this. Supermarket shortages are a growing problem as people will continue to buy more than usual since they don't know the next time the supermarkets will get what they need in. Also a problem is loads of folk still being in the shop at the same time and not abiding by social distance regulations. I must be really lucky where I live as the Lidl just along the road had plenty of fresh vegetables when I was in on Tuesday afternoon. Obviously no pasta and a significant shortage in tinned goods, but there were plenty of tinned fish and vegetables. The meat aisle still had a decent amount left too, even some mince and chicken, and there were plenty of quiches and things like ready made curry. Even some pies, but sadly no steak ones (unless you count the lies that are the one with a pastry lid!). Some fish was there too. Frozen aisle was half empty, but also half full. There's a wee shop just along the road as well that has a small freezer bit at the back and otherwise fully stocked shelves of tins. For some reason this shop hasn't been stripped bare each day! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dorlomin Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 What a bunch of vapid self centered shits. People are afraid and they want to do things that both make them feel connected and to celebrate those they feel help them. And the low IQ clowns on this forum mock that. You are just horribly self centered"human beings". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, good luck with importing them from the US when the individual states are desperately bidding against each other and the Federal Government, and the UK is competing against the EU. And ramping up from zero production to thousands from when they get approval to delivering before the peak. And finding enough spare staff to train up in time. Hope it all happens obviously, but I can't see it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
