March 29th - 'Organised Outdoor Sports Can Take Place'

[Lozart]

The point I was making was that if you continue to work and put others at risk then you're being a dick. The inference that it's only poor people that do that was not mine.

 

[MiK]

You don’t need to be poor to be a dick, I think I have known more who have a few squid in their banks to actually be more inclined to be dick-like

I think being a dick isn’t a class thing a dick will be a dick no matter what

I'm pretty sure printers will be doing a roaring trade soon with all the different labels they will be printing!

The scenes on Bournemouth beach as well last summer.

and yet independent scientific advisors have come forward to say that there is no link between crowded beaches and cases of the virus

add to the fact that public health england has been caught out using a CRIMINALLY flawed way of compiling the data about the virus that boris then spouts in his speeches...

and i believe all these university research teams FAR more than i will EVER believe anything that boris and his cronies will ever say


so im sorry, i dont see that there is any reason that life cannot get back to normal,  nor any reason that we can get back to the sport we all love and miss.

Is that the governments fault? No.

Click to shrink...

actually, yes, it is...

if the universities (and schools) were kept closed, and lessons/lectures done online,  then the students wouldn't be forced together, away from home and any support from immediate families, essentially locked in the prison of their dorms....    i don't blame the students for wanting to try and relieve the stress and boredom of uni life during this pandemic...  especially when students are essentially being ordered to return to uni of be kicked out.  (this happened to a friend of mine currently going through uni whose hall-of-residence was fenced in behind the same fencing seen around building sites, and once on site they were not allowed to even go to the shops to get food, having to rely on whatever slop the uni fed them...  they wouldn't make exceptions, even though my friend has specific dietary requirements that mean they have to be careful what they eat...  they did mention it to me before, but i don't recall the name)

and on the subject of schools...   i completely disagree with opening the schools at the expense of other parts of the country...    one kid gets exposed and carries the virus to his class of 20-40 kids (plus all the other classes in the playground), that kid then plays as normal because they dont understand the need to keep distanced, suddenly you have waves of infected kids going back home and spreading it to their parents, who then pass it along to their workplace as they are unlikely to show symptoms and suddenly boris is crying about a rise in cases

schools should be the LAST places to open.. 

But I can assure you that someone barely surviving on minimum wage, trying to keep employment, their flat, their kids, whatever - doesn't give a shit because they're trying to survive. Some people genuinely can't miss a single shift or they're destitute, or applying for emergency housing.

and i am in a similar position...

while im not on minimum wage..   i was dismissed from my job last year due to the fact that there wasnt enough work for everone...  and it took me three months to get into a new job...   and even taking a payment holiday on my mortgage, i was still forced to take out a credit card to give me even a chance of keeping my house etc...   so there is no way in hell that i would be able to survive off SSP,  so until someone forces me at gunpoint to take a test and isolate if its positive, i have no choice but to keep working, or im out on the streets.  hell this past week i have been flogging as much as i can on ebay to try and give me some extra money to help my finances recover...  so i need every shift, plus as much overtime as i can get to help get me back in the black

However this doesn't absolve the public of their responsibility as well. To be honest i agree the government have be caught short and have made some blundering decisions however i don't think any party of any persuasion would have done any better i also agree i don't see why we can't go back to any to pre covid normal.
