Site Supporter Spider Posted February 3, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted February 3, 2021 It's a bit like remembrance groups that are springing up everywhere. I'm not having a go here because I fully support the notion that we should remember those who fought on our behalf. But it's almost becoming a dick swinging contest about who does it best. The Royal Legion tend to have it nailed but seem to have had to up its game in recent years to make sure they get the donations rather than anyone else. Again, I know people mean well, but it gets a bit too competitive at times. Miami has it right on Twitter (and I'll thank him now for it ☺️) with his daily reminders of fallen troops. Keep it in the limelight, but just chuck a fiver at the Royal Legion in October. We're a dignified country, let's keep it that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're going to do something, just not sure another statue for entitled cunts to throw paint over is a good idea. If they do something, just hope they get it right.

This is what I don't get about Twitter, why do people take to following other random "ordinary" people - I'm not on Twitter myself, but I've seen screen shots where people have 10K+ followers and also follow back 10K+ people - well that's just fucking odd surely, as it must be impossible to read the input of 10000 people on a daily basis. I understand people following news outlets, both normal MSM and non-MSM (if that's what we refer to them as now. Why though, would say a boke who works on the bins in Stoke want to follow a housewife in Surrey to see what her opinion is on something? - is it not just all a thing for people to say "Ooh, look how many followers I've got, aren't I great" I think I'm just old and don't understand 🙂 Edited February 3, 2021 by Sweep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would assume there are and they won't be immune, they will still contract and transmit the virus, and its never really under control, there will also be a good number of those who don't want the vaccine, including anti-vaxxers. Was talking to the head cleaner at work today, Dot, Jamaican lady and 71 years old, said she isn't having the vaccine, she has also never had a flu jab and is in good health and doesn't need it, she said the vaccine as not been tested enough she also says she believes in God and the lord. Everybody at work thinks the world of Dot and I for one respect her views, some won't and will deem her selfish. 10m vaccines done out of a 68m population, fucking fantastic effort. Out of 68m how many do we think will be vaccinated ? 60m ? Still leaves a lot of people to transmit the virus and any new variants. It isn't going to be perfect and this virus is probably never going to go away. you know dot at work dont be buying her a Valentines card soon she will GET DEAD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted February 3, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted February 3, 2021 Mr Grey: these will be dwindling in number by virtue of Darwinism. Even the ones that recover, will get older and maybe cop for it at a later date. Sorry Dot, but you're a bit of a selfish git. Especially to your family.
