All your words, not mine.

We'll see in a few weeks who's right and wrong on this. Hopefully you and the rest of the "get out for a bevvy lad" lot are, cos that'll mean there's been no massive second wave.

You see you don’t read things do you ? You simply don’t bother . I’ve not said that once . I’ve even said I have sympathy for your argument it’s your attitude that turns my stomach

You see you don’t read things do you ? Like don’t bother . I’ve not said that once . I’ve even said I have sympathy for youre argument it’s your attitude that turns my stomach

My attitude is exasperation after 4 'kin months of being under the cosh...and now we have people being instructed by their own government to throw that hard work away and they're following that advice.

Well I and many others wont.

It doesn't matter, look at the comparison with orther nations. We are still in the teeth of a first wave.

FFS, what is the matter with you? You personally as I understand it are shielding. That'll last forever if we dont have responsible government and responsible citizens.

You were comparing UK early March versus UK Mid June.

Serious question. If you had no money in the bank, no income, and didnt qualify for UC, what would you do?

you don’t dismiss lads who might lose their home because you’re under the Cosh, well you shouldn’t if you’re in a good place . If you’re struggling tell people but dismissing the very Real concerns of people or entire sections of society because it doesn’t gel with what you think is ‘right ‘ is just not a good thing .

a lot of people are finding this hard , I know someone early in this who overdosed due predominantly to loneliness and isolation . I suspect he’s out and about today but he’s feeling lots better , maybe you’d dismiss him as a prole but perhaps he’s just trying to survive .

just maybe give people a little bit Of respect then maybe you’d feel better about yourself .

Pretend he's Sal Paradise and drift down to Cornwall for the summer?

You're very kind, but far too modest.

Can’t be right that, thought they were kings of how to deal with lockdown?

They've had a couple of big outbreaks tbf. If the infection numbers were low beforehand it will have a big impact. Still 1.8 is worrying.

Hopefully they have it controlled through TTI and it could be short lived

Given the fuss made of it during Brexit, the gym market in the UK is over 3x the size of the fishing industry. A £5 billion industry.

I‘ve heard that the EU demand to continue using our gyms.........

Technogym are an Italian company, so, I suspect they'd like to and all

Last place we'd expect him to be is on the road. More of a subterranean in his bunker.

Anyway, it’s been a bit of a shock to find out that me and @davek are the only two Tories in here......
