Made this point to a friend living in Austria who was getting a bit too smarmy when comparing us and them. I also added that culturally, Austrians were far better at just following orders...:whistle:

It’s appalling what’s happening out there, depending on which sector you worked in. As more and more people join the scrap heap, the haves should start to get a bit concerned because guess what? The have nots ain’t going to just stand by and starve Or become homeless. There’s likely going to be...

Many ignore you if it’s any consolation. You’re an insufferable pompous bore, aptly named because of the b ollocks you infest this board with. I went off you quicker than a bucket of prawns in the sun some time ago so happy to remain ignored. I’ve not read your post, except the opening sentence...

Bitch! Yes, it appeared to be ‘just’ another local affair back then. Only it really was the the big one. How you manage such emergencies is a different matter and I’ve no problem with emergency powers being used in the same way they were during wars.

AIDS didn’t fit the narrative. But I am in favour of arresting and imprisoning more people than currently think they won’t be to get the message through. The contempt is shocking. It’s this belief, and the law can largely be ignored these days that is a big part of the problem. So send a...

No you weren’t. You also ducked answering subsequent questions to reign you back onto. But that’s ok, get some rest equally and then you can share your ideas on how best to tackle those that blatantly disregard everyone else’s safety, and many peoples lives.

‘Effectively’ martial law, yes, like we’ve had during other national emergencies. Makes getting things done, in order to safeguard the majority, easier/quicker when otherwise it wouldn’t be - to everyone’s cost. Trouble is, using that term frightens people because they’re not very bright or...

I’d say your response is hysterical, if anyone’s is. Who said indefinitely? You did. Then you’ve strolled off onto some unrelated tangent to make a poor point worse. Anyway, bringing it back on POINT, what do you suggest we do to stop a sizeable minority from just carrying on doing what the...

Ha ha, I could probably do with more drink not less. But my point is sincere, albeit assumptive I.e. I assume mass arrests only required if there’s mass disregard demonstrated. This might not be so but...Therefore we probably need a punishment most people will fear and consequently start to take...

“Wow...” For starters, anyone who starts their sentences this way...Anyway, you’re better than that. The pandemic threatens a breakdown of society - have you thought about the consequences of that? Even more terrifying. National emergencies like this, WW2 or heaven forbid had we had a nuclear...

This this and this again. When it comes to national emergencies of this magnitude the normal (by committee everything needs to be publicly opinion polled and consensus reached taking forever if even that soon) government approach is useless. Martial law must effectively be declared and...

They don’t help themselves though do they. I want to do the right thing but it never seems to make sense and the enforcement just isn’t there so people will naturally ignore. We also live in the age of the individual not community, people do what they like, when they like, and there is little...

See main Covid thread, it’s being discussed there. Come join us! :)
