Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

They can have their own opinion; however, if they make a big deal of it and try and influence people to flout the law and the restrictions on movement in a pandemic they should be expected to face the consequences. It's a social crime; a crime against the community. Just like those Kopites we all condemned at the Pier Head....right?

I have absolutely no problem with everyone removing masks and opening up the world again.
We going to be controlled imprisoned and sit and rot away until we’re told otherwise?

They can be one and the same thing.

FFS. Incredible lack of rigour in posting.

Yes, they can be one and the same thing.

Im simply quoting your own post back at you. If you don’t like being picked at then don’t post nonsense, simple really.

As for comparing this to Holocaust denial, deary me.

Incite others to ignore the rule of law on Covid restrictions because you think it's a conspiracy = face the consequences.

Sorry to break it to the libertarian bedwetters, but that's how we roll in democracies.


"Ooooh, Ooooh, the nasty man is saying we cant chat rubbish and encourage others to doubt the reality of a pandemic....he's Joe Stalin incarnate....Oooooh, Oooooh!".

...and?

So locking up political opponents is not something I condone, much less executing them.

The crime would be incitement to encourage others to flout the law.

How is this at all controversial?

You said prosecute people who don't think covid is a real threat.

That's completely different than inciting anything. Locking people up for an opinion is totalitarian.

My opinion is that there are two extreme opinions out there and both are completely and utter ridiculous.

The first is that covid isn't real. Well it clearly is real and it disproportionately effects our older and vulnerable citizens.

The second view is that we need a long term full lockdown until we eventually get a vaccine. Well if we do that, there won't be anything left for us by the time the vaccine finally comes, and millions will have had their livelihoods, long term health, and futures destroyed.

Apology accepted.

Socialist Dave wants millions of people unemployed and people locked up for having an opinion.

The gift that keeps on giving. Is this fella really an academic?

Between Socialist Dave and Socialist Joey, it's not a great advert for socialism

Well done. Neither do most of the population

Academic explains why he’s not arsed about people being in hospitality being unemployed.

So now you know I'm talking about incitement you acknowledge it's a good call?

It's called taking a deadly pandemic serious mate.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Well yes, I think we get that. We're mainly disturbed by you thinking it, not the rest of the country

 

[Brennan]

Apology accepted.

Nice try.

You stated point blank you’d jail people for having an opinion. The inciting language came in subsequent posts as you scrambled to defend your bonkers position.

Its there in black and white I’m afraid.

No I don't funnily enough. I don't believe in denying free speech and turning Britain into a totalitarian state.

You only added in the incitement bit to your argument after people called you out for being so ridiculous!
