But I think the point remains that a lot of folk were giving it "stop getting your knickers in a twist" when the correct response in these scenrios IMOO is to make your collective voice heard. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few folk having a drink quietly and causing nobody any bother - ignore the rule. Arseholes making the journey uncomfortable for other people - enforce the rule. I don't travel on trains enough to know exactly how it being enforced though? It a bit like a teacher telling you off for talking. You stop when they call you out, wait until they aren't looking and then start again. And that's if you're unlucky enough to have one who's miserable enough to enforce it. It's not worth the hassle to them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Why did this fandan believe such a 'consultation' was necessary? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may have been unlikely to pass, but it was never as inevitable as folk on here were saying that it would fail. This isn't really a dig at the "what are you bothered about...." posts on here, but this still should be acknowledged as a success for ordinary people taking no shite. Right, so those who said there's no way that this is happening, have been conclusively proven wrong by the statement that officially confirms there's no way this is happening? God, I feel such a fool. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If everyone had just quietly said "there's no way this will happen" rather than expressing their views on it, then it might have happened. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. This is precisely what I was trying to say, and we'd have had no one to blame but ourselves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dons_1988 Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 In a time when it’s difficult to get political engagement, scoffing when a government consults and people engage is pretty shit behaviour tbh. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
