This Mask Fiasco!

[regis80]

Agreed regis. There are lowlife and scumbags in/of all peoples, nations, religons etc.

When I see someone behaving badly, I think of them as idiots, plonkers etc - I do not dwell over their nationality, creed, gender, age etc, that’s totally irrelevant imo.

Maybe certain football supporters of certain football clubs could be the exception... 😎😜

I’m so glad you share the same view SB. There are just vile people from all walks of life, why we have to mention ethnicity to associate it with is just plain wrong. It’s trying to reinforce a stereotype which was always false from the start.
Anyway SB hope you keep well.. enjoy the vodka eh? sorry my bad i’m stereotyping Sweden now 😂

Is that really your best and most well reasoned response?

Never mind the numbers, never question those in power, never do your own research you just keep knee jerking away.

Not trying to be funny with you. But when it comes to covid, it is difficult to believe anything. With the amount of fake news from many media outlets over the years, whether it is to deceive or distort the truth doesn’t help.

One thing I do know is that we are being scare mongered a lot. I feel the media has its own agenda, so if you don’t believe this.. well look what is happening in Brazil, Russia etc to reinforce the gibberish they might be telling us already. You can’t trust anybody with their news and you certainly cannot trust the fake news coming from the right winger news mules that frequent this board.

BLM protest.. there is a secret agenda behind it. Divide and conquer. What is really going on behind the scenes? Please enlighten WBA mad. and please reveal your ‘mask’ and your love for WBA?

A bit wrong with the stereotyping though, I’d say a bit further east, Finland and Russia, and you’re home, mate. 😎😉😇

Read my posts about Corona mate and you know I’m very skeptic. The biggest culprits imo though: media and possibly social media. They create the (unneeded) panic and alarm.

Media and power have a symbiotic relationship, populist leaders (like Boris) only care about getting reelected and therefore to come across well in media. In Denmark Public Health of Denmark advised against closing the schools, and the populist government of Denmark did what, closed the schools...

If Corona had happened in 1968 instead when another pandemic hit the world (Hongkong), with more than 4 million dead (Corona so far ca 600 000 I think), the same panic would not have occured, why, the media of course.

The declared death toll is currently 804,445.

And that’s what it comes down to education or whether they are being informed, but from the comments on here you’d assume everyone is making it to be down ethnicity?
I wouldn't be surprised if Brum goes into some form of lockdown because of the number of dumb flucks there and I see why Lye is.
I’ve heard a number of chicken factories also having to be shut.. now you can imagine the level of education those workers have to be doing those jobs or whether they’ve even been informed of the current climate.. who knows. From what I know a high proportion of eastern europeans work there.

If the rules aren’t laid down in law then what hope do we have. You don’t see Hand in coco making his daily statements but he goes and appoints a new head for the new PHE.
What’s really funny is, it seems like every other person we all know is capable of making a mask. Something the government have not bothered to award a contract to? Hence no need for them to make this law. Corrupt.

I bet the problem in Birmingham though won't be in the so called " nicer areas " like Solihull, Knowle, Sutton Coldfield etc. Why?

Education again is key to everything. There are more food poisoning cases in places like the Dominican Republic than anywhere in the world - why? Education - to educate locals who live in mud huts/equivalent to wash their hands when working in 4/5 star hotels is not easy when they have been p issing/s hitting in a hole. I know this as I managed a team of F & B Consultants for a travel firm who regularly went out to destinations to train.

So on this basis again, it goes back to areas - not easy to educate immigrants from war torn areas etc to social distance and keep everything spotless including themselves.

Even if people live in the worst town/street in the country people should have pride and respect. Some do but many don't give a flying ****! How many with masks do you see in shops like Waitrose in the so called nicer areas and how many do you see in masks in the so called not so nice areas! There's a huge difference! I went through Bradford a couple of weeks ago and could not believe all the rubbish flying around the streets/around houses - why? Is this the council's fault?

Education or "educated people" can have exceptions though - how many liberal lunatics went to London in the thousands to protest and wreck statues taking their cause backwards! Many of these will be educated liberal lefties ( many from Uni ) who were irresponsible and selfish! These same people who went to London - you can bet your bottom dollar they are all wearing masks now tutting at some poor individual who possibly can't wear a mask with autism!

Problems that exist today are as soon as you challenge something you are automatically called racist which is why the police often go missing. Maybe when a disgusting yob racially abuses Dele Ali at the next football match he won't stamp his feet and think - hold on a minute, I racially abused and mocked a poor Asian man myself due to the Coronavirus so what's the difference!

There are good and bad everywhere but pride, respect and love of your surroundings is everything to an educated person regardless of colour or religion!

Well said Baggieal. That’s exactly my view too.
The only point i’m going to reiterate and what others have said, unless it is made law re masks then you spot fine those not wearing one. If it’s law, then nobody, including those from ethnic minority can complain. Fines should be imposed regardless.

100% agree Regis.

No exemption card = On the spot £100 fine.
