It must be murder if you have a house full of kids . When I grew up in Walton in the sixties there was 8 of us in a three bedroom house but in those days I doubt they would of had a lockdown we probably would have all been out playing football at the bottom of the road.

Has there been anymore theories about this having been here since December onwards?

The topic is a lot more important than Brexit so I hope it does.

meant I hope we kill it off before this reaches 4586 pages

This thread is heading in a dangerous direction me thinks.

Let's look at the figures. Who is the biggest killer in the 20th century. Is it Nazi Germany, Is It Russia. No. It Communist China. They're still the same. It hasn't stopped.

What looks likely here is they employed a scorched earth policy and literally incarcerated people to die because their hospitals were overwhelmed. Their crematoriums are still burning as we still speak.

Subsequently, once it burned out, they said, ok we are good to go again. Apart from foreigners can't come back in the country. But hey ho, we're gonna carry on manufacturing your goods.

More evidence that you can't just lock people up

Serious tensions in southern Italy: first looting in supermarkets and calls for rebellion - Archyde

The health emergency is also becoming, as feared, a social emergency in southern Italy: Fearful social protests are feared and the first looting has begun, forcing supermarkets to equip themselves with special surveillance. A cry of alarm emerges strongly from the south, echoed by Italian mayors...

Italy's lockdown isn't working

That is a lie. The vast majority of Germans had no idea unless they lived around the camps. Stop spreading BS.

Hundreds of thousands of German people were in a position to know because of their work at or near the camps, or in firms that had work that went on there; tens of thousands of railwaymen will have had to arrange the transportation of people to the camps; hundreds of thousands of German soldiers would have seen the trains, saw the massacres or the camps themselves. Millions will have known Jewish people who disappeared, never to be seen again.

FFS the White Rose group (in Munich) knew about much of what was going on in 1943, and got executed for it.

And looks like Mr Bean.

how DARE you try to suggest that he looks like anyone other than Pob

Come on mate be fair. The genocide was hidden. Was it implicit yes but it was ignored. Or They couldn't get their heads around it. Who could. The scope was utterly terrifying.

I am being fair, but I disagree with your assumption that the holocaust was something that was overly hidden from all but a select few of Germans.

Did everyone know? No. Did they have a full understanding? Perhaps not, but the numbers of Germans involved in the process suggests more would have known.

I did a paper on this very topic as part of my Masters, well it was the involvement of the Reichsbahn in the Holocaust, and their involvement was hugely significant.

It's not the right place to discuss about this now, but there is a multitude of evidence that highlights how many people were involved in the process over many years.

Then, you suspect their families would have known to some extent because people don't keep things entirely to themselves.

Had to Google that.

It was probably medically inadvisable.

But it was Saturday night.

You can see the bind I was in.

Just jealous mate. It's many a year since I've been able to sink 2 bottles of wine in one session. And that's when I'm full health

That is simply not true. And I am not exonerating the German people here. The vast majority of them turned a blind eye to what was abhorrent.

What I am suggesting is you can make a population pliable enough, so that you can literally get away with murder. That's what's happening in China.

You know it. I know it and the world knows it and the reason it has been tolerated is because folks want cheaper goods..

It has to stop and it has to stop now because they are a danger and a threat.

Encouraging numbers from Spain:
5562 new cases and 546 new deaths

They are definitely past the peak.
