Absolute bollicks and I’m sorry but I know for a fact that plenty of lads on sites aren’t wearing masks, are shaking hands, fist bumping etc and are working g right next to each other.You should come on my sites - they look very different to what happened yesterday in Town. No handshakes, plenty of masks and distance.
I think you're missing the point. Protests haven't been banned because we've turned into China or North Korea. They've been banned because they come under the umbrella of mass gatherings which are a potential breeding ground for the virus. These are extraordinary times and like it or not, extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. Governments around the world - whether we agree with their measures or not and no matter how well or how poorly they've dealt with this pandemic - aren't doing this to oppress people. They're doing it for our own good, and once we're through the other end of this, these temporary laws will be lifted which in turn will allow us to go back to protesting as much as we want. Unless you live in China or North Korea of course!Can I just say, and this is my final point today as I’ve got to take my girlfriend to an appointment she’s finally got albeit 8 months late, that no protests in this country should be illegal!!
In the last couple of days I’ve read posts about tasering, locking up and banning protests.... seriously some people should reread their posts... this is supposed to be the U.K. not bloody Russia, NK or China!!
if Starmer was in charge you’d be singing from a different hymn book mate and we all know on here that that’s a fact.
Doing it for my own good? Or for the good of 1% of the population who are at serious risk? For my own good has cost me a long serving job, created major health problems for members of my family, cost the mental health of a couple of people I know..I think you're missing the point.

So what are you saying? That we should let this virus rip through the whole population? In that case what's 1% of 67 million? And what's 1% of 9 billion?Doing it for my own good? Or for the good of 1% of the population who are at serious risk? For my own good has cost me a long serving job, created major health problems for members of my family, cost the mental health of a couple of people I know..
As for once we’re through this... there no knowing when that may be if at all, by then our children and their children’s futures will be so bleak it doesn’t bare thinking about.
And finally, as for this ‘temporary measures’ being lifted. Scotland changed their tier system to 5 sections, in tier 0, which I think we’d all assume is normality, there’s the caveat of ‘with certain restrictions still in place’.
What? What are they still going to stop the population from doing after it’s all gone away.
Seriously some of these draconian measures are going to be with us for a very very long time

Now not wanting to derail the thread but if Starmer was in charge you’d be singing from a different hymn book mate and we all know on here that that’s a fact.
It’s not killing 1% though is it.So what are you saying? That we should let this virus rip through the whole population? In that case what's 1% of 67 million? And what's 1% of 9 billion?
It’s not killing 1% though is it.
How many is it killing then? Even if it's 0.5% or 0.3%, that's a lot of fucking deaths if the whole world gets it. This is the problem when people quote the low mortality rate - the argument falls down because it's contagious as fuck and this is something that the entire global population can potentially get if it's left unchecked and the knock-on effect in terms of additional deaths from other things will be a lot worse than we've seen. Rabies has the highest mortality rate on Earth - 99.9% - but that's utterly irrelevant in this discussion due to the fact that hardly any fucker ever gets it thankfully whereas Covid (despite its very low mortality rate in comparison) has killed way more people in the past 9 months than Rabies has in the past 100,000 years.It’s not killing 1% though is it.
No restrictions on adult life pubs, gyms etc to ensure schools stayed openWhat restrictions?
Kids going in one way but out the other in single file?
Parents having to wear masks but kids don’t
You seen a playground recently at school break?
All a fucking shit show. From an incompetent government.
Sturgeon explained when she put them in that she felt there needed to be a tier more and less restrictive than the tiers put into place in England. But she did not want to confuse people by having the same number in different countries meaning different things so introduced a zero and a four.And finally, as for this ‘temporary measures’ being lifted.

We’ll see.Sturgeon explained when she put them in that she felt there needed to be a tier more and less restrictive than the tiers put into place in England. But she did not want to confuse people by having the same number in different countries meaning different things so introduced a zero and a four.
There is no intention of having them as permanent measures.
Oh Inchy. Just let it lie man. Go for a run :)It’s not killing 1% though is it.
One for the words and phrases thread .. You wouldn't let it lie!Oh Inchy. Just let it lie man. Go for a run :)
Vic and Bob like this postOne for the words and phrases thread .. You wouldn't let it lie!
After she’s finished in the hospital I’m off for an 8-10 miler....Oh Inchy. Just let it lie man. Go for a run :)
So said kids can then take home to parents after mixing with other households kids... makes perfect sense.No restrictions on adult life pubs, gyms etc to ensure schools stayed open
Are you talking about the Draconian measures that are supposed to keep people safe?Doing it for my own good? Or for the good of 1% of the population who are at serious risk? For my own good has cost me a long serving job, created major health problems for members of my family, cost the mental health of a couple of people I know..
