Just thinking, should have a clapping emoji code somewhere that would work on here?

Captain Robbo, I completely agree with your stance, despite the response you got, it is disturbing and narcissistic.
GT, also agree with your point about being instructed to clap by the media, that’s exactly how it looked to me.
The people who’ve been clapping are demented F’cking seals. Terrifying.
Agree with Robbo. Quality of life matters.
It disturbs me when some people describe the current situation as “the new normal”. Some of them seem to approve of it.
Well I do not! If they want to live a puritanical, joyless existence that is their business. I want everything to go back to how it was as soon as possible. I think most people do.
The government and the scientists have to realise that we are not numbers in an experiment. People are human. How much longer will people endure not seeing family and having to keep two metres away from everyone (for which there is no scientific basis)?
And how much longer will people put up with not going to sporting events, concerts, cinema, or pubs and restaurants? These are the things that make life enjoyable.
The point gets lost in the media scaremongering but if you are under 65 and in good health your chances of dying of covid 19 are extremely small. There is much more chance of dying in a road accident but few people think twice before getting in a car.
And even if you are over 65 or have health problems you are still much more likely to recover than die if you get the virus.
Hong Kong flu killed 80,000 people in the UK just over fifty years ago. We did not shut down the economy and make people stay at home. Why have we panicked so much this time around?
The Lord Such appearance on BBC was fantastic. The first person I have seen slip through the net on the blatant propaganda that is main stream news. I love how the interviewer tries to get on top by quizzing him if he has respected the lockdown and he takes her apart. Superb stuff.
Paul under current uk laws it may not be possible to force vaccines but the world is now clearly controlled by a global power and when they want to make it mandatory they will do just that.
Prince Phillip famously said many years ago that if reincarnation existed and he could return to earth as anything then it would be as a virus that would wipe out humanity. He appears to have his wish and it’s even named The Crown Virus as corona is Spanish for Crown. What were the chances?
It’s worth taking a look back at the London Olympics satanic opening ceremony of 2012. Dancing nurses, a virus shown coming in and attacking, followed by the big cage on wheels (slavery), a giant evil figure with a needle giving the kids vaccines, a sick man in a bed who looks like boris Johnson and Mary Poppins flying in (signifying the nanny state).
On 39 mins the queen enters then it’s the NHS part that is worth looking back on.
Robbo, the man in the video you posted is Lord Sumption. Lord Such as you called him reminded me of Lord Sutch or how he used to be known as was SCREAMING LORD SUTCH who had the party OFFICIAL MONSTER RAVING LOONY PARTY and died June 1999.
You've got to accentuate the positive.
Eliminate the negative.
Latch on to the affirmative.
Don't mess with mister in between.You are of course correct Red Rum though ironically even though Lord Sumption is a highly intelligent man he will no doubt be vilified, ridiculed and made out to be about as sensible as screaming lord such by the media. So perhaps it was fitting that I got the name mixed up.
I saw Screaming Lord Sutch live at the Atalanta Ballroom Woking when I was a teen in the sixties. The YouTube video is a toned-down version of his act – he really was quite a scary performer to watch and the props he used would never be allowed today. He did attract band members that went onto greater things:

Great interview Robbo, slipped through the net he did indeed.
Cork, agree with your post too, good stuff.
I stand like a statue
Become part of state machine
Don’t add to any rumpus
Always wash down clean
I play by intuition
Never go into town
I’m a deaf dumb and blind skiv
Who sure plays a mean lockdownIs this the new WHO guidance

The NHS would not have coped. They predicted if we had kept on as normal 80% of the population would have contracted the virus with half a million dead. But at least you could have got a KFC.
“Hong Kong flu killed 80,000 people in the UK just over fifty years ago. We did not shut down the economy and make people stay at home. Why have we panicked so much this time around?”The elites were not ready 50 years ago to orchestrate a global takeover and a one world government. They are now.

Surely from the fallout of having basically closed the entire worlds economy for over 8 weeks a much much larger strain will be placed on the NHS? Poverty like never seen before is coming, with poverty comes disease and poor health and disease, the fallout from mental health alone will break the NHS never mind all the people who will die from starvation and other diseases caused by poverty.
Lockdown will ultimately break the NHS once and for all far greater than any respiratory virus ever could.
If we have slowed the virus enough so that the NHS is not overwhelmed… And slowed it so that a vaccine can (eventually) be found… Then surely the lockdown is worth it. Yes, we’ll have a recession, but the chances are the recovery will be swift.
If lots of people don’t take any notice of this lockdown they’re putting others lives at risk. I am taking my 80 year old father to hospital tomorrow for a glaucoma check up. Needing someone with him he trusts, finding it difficult to understand things sometimes. Yes he has a choice whether to go or not; but warned last time that he could very easily go blind. Should he stay at home Robbo? I’ll be knowingly taking a slight risk as am diabetic… But my parents have been self isolating and so have I – other than meeting my girlfriend yesterday for the first time since lockdown (who’d also been self isolating for a week).
I xxxxxxx hope those taking no notice of lockdown won’t be there!
Maybe those taking no notice of lockdown should be banned from using the NHS?
Value Is EverythingI don’t understand why you are asking me if he should stay at home? Surely that is his decision to make not mine?
Your post also implies that I have broken the lockdown and shouldn’t be entitled to NHS treatment? I haven’t broken the lockdown once, I keep out the way of people when I am out walking (out of respect of their fears not my own).
Ironically unless you live with your father then it is in fact you and your father who are breaking the lockdown by going to the hospital together. Which means you are contradicticting yourself as you can’t change the rules when it suits you.
Surely somebody who is so strict on lockdown should not be taking his father (unless you live with him) to the hospital.
Obviously I don’t have any problem with you taking your father to the hospital and believe it’s the right thing to do as I’m sure he will appreciate the company from his own family though by doing so it completely contradicts your own opinion on lockdown
It is you that posted Lord Sumption’s interview, calling it “fantastic”.
In that interview he says that people should be allowed to make up their own minds whether to Lockdown or not. Go to the pub, theatre etc if they so wish. Or stay at home if they so wish. Point is that staying at home instead of going to hospital – staying at home instead of going blind – is not much of a choice. Realise technically I will be breaking the rules, but there are degrees and is why I made the disdinction of saying “those taking no notice of lockdown”. If you and Lord Sumption had your way you both (and many more people) would be going here, there and everywhere they wanted; with a far greater risk of getting this virus… And then without symptoms possibly going to a glaucoma hospital. Putting people who did not want to take that risk – like me and my father (and NHS staff) – at a far greater risk.
Just bear in mind that if getting what you wish for others will pay the price.
Value Is EverythingOk got it it’s fine for you to break the lockdown rules when it suits you but if anybody else breaks them they shouldn’t receive nhs treatment.
If your father needs treatment then if the NHS are not able to provide transport for him then he should get in a taxi with a stranger who he doesn’t live with and have him drive him to hospital and collect him.
You are either for the rules or are against them. I have more respect for somebody who says “**** the rules and is open about it” or somebody who follows the rules.
The superior ones who judge others but are happy to break the rules when it suits them are the worst types imo.
