Covid anti-lockdown protest

Judging by the main consensus on this Forum, no one is anti government, but they are certainly anti democracy. in fact everyone seems to be applauding their Draconian measures, so I'm not sure who you are referring to, but I don't think even the Tories could have envisaged how easy it would be to convince everyone to sit in their homes, regardless of their age or the state of their health, and totally cut themselves off from their loved ones and friends.
The crime rates must have plummeted in the last 12 months, especially with the pubs and clubs being shut or on short hours, I don't like to think about what their endgame is, but if they tell us all to lockdown again in the summer, and again in the winter, the majority of people will blindly do it !!! It means nothing to me personally, because I haven't been locked down, I've worked throughout, I shop and go for walks and bike rides on my day off, and I visit my kids and grandkids and stand in the garden to talk to them, my Mother died on the first day of lockdown in March last year ( no sympathy expected or wanted ) and I honestly think it was a blessing, because she would not have made it through last year with her mental health intact, couped up in her flat on her own !!!

Personally I don't know anyone who's "applauding their Draconian measures" so I guess that's why I don't see it that way. Everyone I know is thoroughly pissed off. Members of my family have lost jobs, not because they were happy to stay at home but because the businesses when to shit.

I suggest you have a read through this thread again then mate, and their businesses didn't need to go to shit, because, as an article I read in the Lancet yesterday stated, their is no Scientific evidence to suggest that Lockdowns have any effect on the spread of the Virus !!! The same people that go to Pubs are sat in each others houses now drinking, I haven't been to a Pub since March, even when they were open !!!

I didn't support the lock downs, I thought it was a terrible idea.

... but if you ask me who's side I'm on in this thread, I'm with this guy.

You may think I’m open minded - but actually I have very very little patience for stupid.

for instance - flat Earthers

man - fuck those guys

Flat Earthers is a conspiracy to make conspiracy theorists look stupid. :)

Everyone knows the earth is not flat.
It is saucer shaped, otherwise the sea would spill off the edge !

For the same reason it can't be round, otherwise the sea would run down to the equator, and then drip off into nowhere.

And the reason you've showed me this is ? I've never said the NHS isn't stretched, as it is and has been for as long as I can remember at this time of year !!! It didn't help that the NHS reduced it's number of beds from over 200,000 to 160,000 last year and then further reduced them to 110,000 so that they could be spaced out more due to Corona !!!

The reason is that is what the thread is about ... that's from the original post. :)

It's about goons outside of a hospital 'protesting' and everyone thinking it's well out of order.
 
I blame the media
Think about it
The Media loves Deaths, Scandals anything to sell papers
If no one reported it, then whats the point ?
Folks are only doing it cos the media are reporting it
Give them blank coverage and it will soon stop.
Everyone wants their 15 minutes of fame on TV

I've never understood why people who protest always have to be belittled by people who don't agree with them, calling them Goons and Morons, I didn't see the same level of outrage on here during the BLM protests, or would that not have been PC ? I agree they picked the wrong place to do it, but describing people as Goons is wrong, Daily Mail headline material !!!
 
How would people feel if UK government banned vaping now that we are out of the EU
They sneakily rush this ban in during the pandemic
Would you sit at home and do nothing ?
Would you protest ?
Only to be called all sorts of names.
Dont say the government wouldn't do this
Cos we all know they would do this in a heartbeat.

In this case it seemed the perfect word to use for people that stand outside a hospital and shout 'covid is a hoax' at doctors and nurses.

Goons in both the 'foolish' and 'thug' sense of the word, I don't think it's wrong at all... sorry.

I think you are discussing this with the wrong person anyway, I have no time for BLM or 'PC' ... or the Daily Mail for that matter. :D
