Current Affairs London Protests

[Jebus_lives]

Thought the current rules were gatherings of up to six people and a distance of two meters?

Regulation 7 (1st June) prohibits outdoor gatherings of more than 6 people (which would cover the protest), the 2 metre and ‘social distancing’ measures are just guidance, not legal requirements.

Excellent point, well made

Someone said there weren’t any rules, so I simply responded that I was under the impression there were. Your comment about civil disobedience wasn’t really required, you’ve just got a bit of a hard on because I don’t agree with you. Grow up.

Seriously? Sorry, I was under the impression that this was a discussion forum. Apologies for triggering you, I'll be sure not to have the temerity to respond to you again. lol

No not really, outdoor transmission has shown to be at very low levels, and even the most basic of face coverings has been shown to reduce your chances of giving it to someone else (NB. not your chances of getting it) by ~80%


You believe going to watch a football match is the same on a scale of imperatives as protesting systemic racism and murder?



Then you've not been looking very hard.

Have you?


Not sure what this has to do with whether people should protest.



I can't even.


Whattaboutism. One being bad doesn't make the other ok. But voter suppression is the act of making it difficult (or in some cases even impossible) for people to vote.


I mean it's clearly NOT the same thing, but nobody has said anything at all about people who knowingly have COVID. Stop making ridiculous stretches in an attempt to move the goalposts.


Genuinely have no earthly idea what you're talking about there. It's utterly nonsensical.

The false equivalence and either intellectual dishonesty or ignorance in this post is baffling.

Imagine having ZERO knowledge of a virus and providing false numbers and statements...


...then not even comprehending that during a pamdemic mass groups can spread it to families and every person they come into contact with.


Then when people call you out on it you call them ignorant.


Beyond belief.

Zat dropping the middle finger on this. lol lol lol lol

Tell you what mate, don't ever whinge about people not giving you substantive replies again.

Imagine having ZERO knowledge of a virus and providing false numbers and statements...

Two studies out of S.Korea and one out of Germany (countries that have actually handled the pandemic well) have show transmission to be orders of magnitude lower outdoors than indoors. Face masks have been shown to have little impact on a person's likelihood of GETTING the virus from someone else who is not wearing a mask, but have shown good efficacy at stopping the wearer from transmitting it to others.

My partner is a frontline healthcare worker, and I've worked in the medical industry for the last decade... but yeah, you keep telling yourself that I've got zero knowledge if it makes you feel better.

And risking their lives .

I blame the US government myself but let's not go there lol

 

[BarryMoore]

REALLY? You genuinely don't believe there's a cause that could warrant mass protests irrespective of the pandemic?

This is not the time and place to do it its an absolute disgrace.

Makes a mockery out of all the NHS workers, careers and people fighting to stop this.

Absoloutle slap in the face it is. Shambolic.

 

[BarryMoore]

That’s not my point, under normal circumstances I’d be supportive even if I wasn’t out there myself. In the current climate it’s utterly baffling. People rightly give Cummings a hard time, well this lot are just as bad.

exactly, its a joke.

Right. Funny because the ones I know are all on the protesters' side.

The smart money would be on Usyk points and i wouldnt be supried to see a late stoppage due to accumulation of punches, Usyks footwork and ability to get in and out whilst throwing a ridiculous amount of punches for his size makes him a absoloutle nightmare for anyone, but i actually think he will fare better (if possible) at HW where his attributes will be enhanced againts the slower big men.

Only took a half hour to unmask him from the time of his first post, the average length of a scooby doo episode aswell. And he would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for his pesky terrible spelling
