I do not believe there is any such thing as a peaceful protest, at best they negatively affect others and at worst are designed to provoke violence from others. Not against protests per se but in my view they are not peaceful. Wasn't sure that I agreed with that but reading it again I think that it's probably correct. The problem comes when the action to suppress said protests isn't consistent. This is turning into Boris Johnson's Poll Tax (well actually it's worse than that) and I can see this bringing him down. The Tories no1 priority is self preservation. Johnson's Brexit credentials kept them in power in 2019 but they'll drop him like a stone in 2021 if he damages the party further.

I wish we could get the true unbiased facts. There are some that claim the world is coming to an end and others that claim it is no worse than a common cold. Can those that claim the worst repudiate the "blue skies " brigade and vice versa.

Can those that claim the worst repudiate the "blue skies " brigade and vice versa. I would say that like most things the truth lies somewhere in the middle but I'm as confused as the rest. The facts are that there is a new virus out there for which we have no immunity to or a vaccine for. For the vast majority it is no worse than the common cold. The media this week was reporting that "Coronavirus has killed 1 million people worldwide. Experts fear the toll may double before a vaccine is ready" - whether that, as tragic as each death is, justifies locking down society to stifle the economy, all but close the NHS to regular treatment, cause awful suffering to the elderly in care homes etc etc then who knows? Unless the virus has weakened then the next 3 months will tell you more, especially after the reasonable summer.

More and more the virus is being used as as an excuse for inefficiency bad service and avarice.

To many organisations and people hiding behind the pandemic for their own personal gains and reasons. What happened to good old British spirit of togetherness ? I despair with the whole situation.

Forgot to say: did anyone see the SON the other week when they flicked to Hans Andersen standing there wearing a mask. Did the commentator say that Andersen either had or suspected that he had Covid-19?
If I heard that right then why was he there? If he'd had it and recovered I'm sure that we've had heard.

Whoever was on commentary though (can't recall who) seemed to indicate (if my memory serves me right) that he was suspected of having it, in which case what was he doing standing there? I guess it was guff filling time.

Anyone heard about the unavailability of tests (also people being sent miles away as well) etc.
There's regularly a testing centre near me and when I walk by it with my dog it's usually empty with half a dozen staff standing around talking to each other. Live most things with Covid-19, it doesn't make too much sense.

Think I must live in some sort of parallel universe. On BSF the Salop Sage, Wiltshire Windbag and fellow travelers deny just about everything about Covid even to the extent that some think it is a David Icke type world conspiracy..

They are. You have an open mind and are capable of discussing differing opinions. They are not, you will never convince or change their blinkered view. It’s a complete waste of time trying.

That's where you're lucky having nothing to do with Facebook Rodders, they breed these cranks on there the can find any group that they want to confirm their narrative. I think that everyone is struggling with logic here though. If they are stopping the world and causing mass panic you'd think that there would be carts and bells coming down the road saying bring out your dead, but if they did then the cause would be unlikely to be Covid-19, that's the scandal, amongst many, of what's going on.

Watched a movie last week, The Platform. It contained a strong message that everyday since has become more apparent. After yesterday’s new lockdown announcement, today there are lengthy queues at the supermarkets and other retail shops. What is wrong with these people? Just shop as per usual and there is plenty to go around. Supermarkets are not closing - but no, greed takes over, sod anyone else it’s all about me me me. Selfish, self centred twits

There was some logic in March because it was a new situation that nobody had encountered but you'd think that they would have learned from that? However, one note of caution, there was a wholesaler on LBC (I think that it was) yesterday and she wasn't confident that she, or indeed more wholesalers, would survive another lockdown. That would hit the supply chain, that we were told over the summer was robust, at a much more difficult time of year so potentially stocks might not be so robust over the next 5 months?

I despair of the things put on BSF about this subject Don’t let them get to you. Just avoid getting involved with the mob, they will argue even when they know they are wrong - not worth it. I prefer to sit back and watch them make complete fools of themselves when certain members continually prove them wrong. The ring leader appears to have disappeared.

I despair of the things put on BSF about this subject I feel the same about Twitter at times. Here's one from today 22/11/20 Tom@probate24
One Question: HOW do we persuade the 80% of people who BELIEVE in this Covid Scam, that they have, indeed been well and truly HOAXED ?
Ask for an explanation and the result is usually tumbleweed. Unless you're on the BSF of course, in which case you get battered until you lose the will to live. Having said that, does anyone still think that Wuhanflu resembles the Plague and that justifies the locking down of society, trashing the economy, scaring the shite out of everyone, all but shutting down the NHS for the bread and butter work and being cruel and uncaring to vulnerable and lonely old people and care home residents

Another consequence of this situation is the mental health problems which will scar our society for many years to come.

The whole thing has me totally bemused. BSF would have us believe there is no such thing, it only effects the old so let them stay indoors and let the rest get on with it, or there is no such thing and is all part of a world wide conspiracy to create a new world order.
Certainly frightening with so many household names going under with resulting loss of jobs etc. I feel that things will never return to the normal we have known , certainly not in the lifetimes of many.

She has symptoms loss of smell and taste now so means our bubble has to self isolate for 14 days Statistically it's safe for kids but the knock on and consequences of the needed adult/child socialisation was always going to be a problem. I don't have an answer, and not being affected myself I can't offer suggestions of what should have happened. Would probably have been better to have kept kids at school in the summer when they'd have been outside much more and the environment would have been much better during the summer months.
