Escobarp Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 3 minutes ago, Ani said: You bring Cummings up a lot. As Boris said at the time the rules are open for interpretation. The backing of Cummings was bizarre at best and just gave the impression that there was no real leadership. Ultimately most people breaking the rules would have done anyway but it was a terrible message. Not really. Maybe 8 times in maybe 6 months and often then in bursts using his name in replies to discussions across maybe a day or so so probably 3 separate times. Not a lot really but anyway was a shocking message. Did you break the rules and justify it with that? Don’t think so. Did I? Nope. So my point is valid mate sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as I’ve not seen anyone for months and stick to the rules so we’re having Xmas type of excuse. It’s all they are. Excuses. Non are justifiable but it is what it is. Hopefully this will be over soon and we can all get back to living how we want without the need to make up excuses like some Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your general scum bags etc they would have already discounted. It’s the people who are “it’s everyone else not me I sanitize” that are a massive part of the problem. along with those of the mindset I’ve played the rules all along so I’ve earned the right now to break them. It’s the governments fault , Barnard castle , Cummings 😴😴😴. Right there is the problem. When stupid rules are in place folk won’t follow them, such as can walk across a golf course with your dog and family member but can’t play golf on your own, can meet with umpteen people at home but can’t sit in a controlled environment while eating a meal in a family bubble, if curfew 8pm comes can go for a walk at 2pm while it’s busy but can’t walk at 8pm when it’s quiet on the streets, that’s 3 rules where I’d take opposite view to government rules.

But you’re missing the point mate. Folk DO follow them. Read on here. You’ve met many folk off here who are doing exactly that. Following the rules!! . It’s an excuse sorry. We see eye to eye on most things but not this. im as frustrated as you are believe me. Living in an area with under 90/100kand harsher restrictions than London at 1500+.

I’m not following stupid rules i will follow rules I feeI are right & proper, I will continue to use my common sense. The only chance I have of catching anything is through my wife as she’s at school every day, I’m working from home not seeing family members outside of my immediate bubble and exercising on my own.

Isn't the problem that all those breaking the rules say the same thing. That weirdo who seems to be travelling the country to watch Bolton on a stepladder probably says the same If everybody, and I mean 100% of people had such to the rules and not bent then to suit themselves, then we'd not be in half the mess that we are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
