They're taking the piss out of you ... 19:56 - Dec 19 with 4319 viewsXYZ

... and me. "Working in the garden" drinking wine.

When we could only meet one person from another household.

Assuming the Guardian have this right ...

They're taking the piss out of you ... on 20:11 - Dec 19 by gordon

The date has been confirmed by Downing Street.


Yeah, but APART from Downing Street confirming, the chuffin great big subheadline and Carrie suckling her newly born babe, do we know when it was taken?

There was a rather brilliant twitter comment under the Guardian story from some numpty saying something like 'Yeah, but when was it taken? That's not in lockdown, it's in the summer. You can tell because the sun is shining'. Top internet sleuthing that. Even people living in Scotland see the sun in May*



*As an aside, the week before May half term is the best time of year to visit the west coast of Scotland imo. It must be, because every time I've been up there in the pissing rain during half term week, all the locals say, 'you should have been here last week it was gorgeous'.

'information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote a political cause or point of view.'

Do one.


I put the qualification "assuming the Guardian have got this right" in there to alert readers to make their own mind up on the source.

"Do one" indeed.

No, I do not.

I am wrong. I am sorry.

I have just realised, I have funked up - this was just after the initial outbreak.

Jesus - don't make me apologise to Bluebadger SB.


I'm just relieved you're not yet another corruption, bigotry and incompetence apologist edge lord. That's plenty enough.

There are some gorgeous beaches in some parts of Wales apparently.

But the locals do not like it advertised.

For a tenner I won't tell anyone where they are.

I can understand, although I don't agree with, the feeling of "well, if they don't bother following the rules, why should I?"

The answer is simple.

You and I will follow the rules because we are better than them.

We give a damn about other people.

I don't mind admitting when I am wrong.

I jumped the gun.

Damn it.


Good on you for admitting your mistake. Are you now prepared to condemn the Government? This is only one example out of literally hundreds if not thousands of deliberate lies/misappropriations etc from the most corrupt Government this country has ever seen.

A very good point.

There is every probability that this will be painted very much as Boris' mess with the expectation that a change of leader will see it all go away. The party is complicit in all that has gone on and it would be dreadful if the electorate saw the end of Boris as the end of needing to hold them accountable.

To be honest the timing is awful.

If we have to have a circuit breaker we need people to observe it and unfortunately there will be a number who point to this behaviour, shrug their shoulders and ignore it.

It's the wrong attitude but I am sure some will adopt it.

It will be someone in the Tory party.

Boris is done and the steady stream of bad news stories for him isn’t a mistake.

There was a demonstration on London yesterday against the restrictions even now!

The issue has become like the Brexit divisions all over again with those who refuse to accept experts doing whatever they want and arguing that anyone else is wrong and should be forced to follow their viewpoint while others are frustrated they can't simply see the severity and do the right thing.

Fortunately, anecdotally it is nothing like 52% in the first camp but even if it is 5.2% that is 5.19% too many.

Remember in the Tory party the ERG became the CRG,

So tired of this. It’s incessant blame of your peers for nearly two years now.

You blamed the lack of impact from the lockdown last Nov on peoples behaviours before the delta variant was identified as the problem. People have behaved really responsibly in the main.

Please try to be less judgmental, it would be good for this place to be more welcoming.
