Trouble is, it's almost as if they're lifted already. Can't help thinking it might help if a couple of top people actually said what we can all see. JVT for example with something along the line of "look, we've made it as easy as possible for you, but some are throwing it back into society's face. Now grow the fuck up, and get a grip" Quote

Feels like the new line is 'moving on from dom' To be fair the scientists said they provide the advice the politicians make the decision. There are clearly some that think this is too early but some that do not. Quote

Seems politicians and officials equally capable of being cuntish about all this as the public. Quote

All through, the claim has been that it's all about saving lives So we have listened to the science that saves lives This science we are listening to now, isn't about saving lives. It's about getting the economy moving and getting folk to forget cummings Imo Fwiw, I'd never have closed the economy down, so I've no issue with the latest measures I just don't believe the justification Quote
Guest Posted May 30, 2020 Posted May 30, 2020 If we fail, it won't be because of the Government, but the people. We, the people, know what to do and what not to do Quote

Don't know about those stats, but according to the tracker Peely has quoted from a few times, as of 28th May we have a more stringent set of measures in place than (of those countries)... Italy, Hungary, Germany, Sweden And a less stringent set of measures than... Poland, Spain, Turkey, Ireland, France, Belgium, Romania, Netherlands, Portugal That's obviously as of now, rather than Monday, and is based just on the rules rather than how people are adhering to them. But I think it's clear that we're on the lighter side of things in Europe, and still with a comparatively very high death rate. Quote

Spider Posted May 30, 2020 Posted May 30, 2020 Diver is right, of course, in theory. People have been given a basic set of instructions but have failed with the nuances. Stay at home, they said. Most did. But in the end too many people lost willpower/patience and then decided to say the message was fuzzy. What didn’t help is that the message was open to interpretation. And certain sections of society will always do what they want. I still say that they’ve rushed this through by a week or two because of Cummings Before Royal leaps in with his sniper rifle, I have no evidence for this, just a gut feeling. But deflection is a common political tool used by all, so it wouldn’t be a surprise. If the next wave comes, which hopefully it won’t, then they’ve scored an own goal. If not, then fair play. Quote

It's a very strange place We are losing many people every day, but our collective actions seem to sugest that, as a society, we are content with that. I'm not suggesting "we" are selfish, perhaps it's too big a picture to see Quote

Course they’ve rushed it in early because of Dom. Surely we can all see that? Quote
