What’s the way the city voted in a referendum got to do with it? Are you saying people in forgotten northern shit holes who voted for Brexit wouldn’t pilfer food banks?

How fucked off would you be if you were the kid of a doctor.

It reminds me of the teachers strikes in the 80s when all my mates had weeks off and I had to go to school

I was furious

I spent a little time castrating ram lambs this morning.

Given the uncertain times we live in, I feel it is good to be reminded that we should be grateful for what we have.

It’s a bit like the religious shit.

If you’re a believer, you’re belief in the cenotaph drunk will save you, as long as give him two years(yes two whole years) to change us into something that looks very much like America(that’s a suprise).

EDIT: Pfeffel not @Notarf-Krap is the drunk(or believer).

Anyone with the flu?

I think ‘potential’ is the keyword.

Does it need to? What IF we recognised that the elderly and high risk should be supported properly? Given space to avoid contact but brought food and supplies by local community who continue as normal as although we may catch it and spread it, we don’t pass it to our older loved ones?

The closing down of society is IMHO more to do with the fear of destabilisation, what if no one is working, no supplies, no food, panic panic
 etc.

Seriously, this situation is driven by selfishness from hoarders to Bankers to Government. But we lack any real societal cohesion to do this
 sadly it’s the age of ‘self’ - we see it everywhere in what people watch, do, expect as a right, in the reasons they suggest drives their vote.

@Map-Of-Tasmania was asking what kind of people they were.

I was simply stating that they were 68.4% Brexit voters.

Don’t get your knickers in a twist. It was a windup, which is why I put the smiley face at the end.

So having castigated all my staff for going to the pub, I went to the pub tonight.

Why? Because I want the pub to be there when this finishes.

I will be buying a takeaway on Friday and buying more beer than I can drink from the Vibrant Forest brewery. I will also be buying a load of meat from my butchers

All these businesses give me great pleasure in normal times. I’ll be fucked if I am going to turn my back on them now.

Let’s not over exaggerate the potential though.

The only two things this well traveled, but ineffective strain has done, is show up capitalism in all its forms and wet the dreams of the right, as an excuse to create panic and profit out of their own disaster, whilst stripping away the last rights we have. But always for our own good of course :joy:

Unbelievable powers for two years because a couple of people that where about to die, died.
The state of the NHS, plus multiple other problems because of capitalism are the issues.

Look at this and wonder how those nice words could so easily align with the US healthcare model(good timing eh).

Read it and think about the worst possible abuse of every point, for two years(which means forever).

Could go in strangely compelling too

I like the overall feel good comment, but you went to the pub because, fuck it the rest of them aređŸ»

Your chances of dying have gone up 0.000017% and getting to the decent places is so much quicker for some reason :grin:

I wish someone would book Tours in Krakow


Two contrasting stories of Covid-19 days.

This evening I went over to cook for my mum and dad, as I normally do on Wednesdays. So I went to the giant Sainsbury’s in Waterlooville to pick up what I wanted to cook. Unbelievable. I’d seen shelves devoid of bog roll and pasta, but today the meat, poultry, cooked meats, fish, dairy, fruit and veg, wine, bread, tinned food and other aisles were all empty or bloody close to it. It was like food shopping in the dear old Soviet Union. All I could think was “what the fuck are we coming to?”.

Later on, while we were eating the dinner I’d cooked, a card was put through the front door. At first I thought it must be a birthday card for my mum (who’s 93 today), but when I picked it up and handed it to her it wasn’t. It was a note to her and my dad from the two young blokes who live next door, saying that if my parents need any help or anything at all, they just need to ask, and giving both of their mobile numbers.
