O/T. The Government's handling of Covid

[Geoff Parkstone]

"‘Is wishing he’d stop any different to censorship?’ Yes, of course it is. I’m not saying he shouldn’t be allowed to reproduce Right wing bollux...I’m saying I wish he wouldn’t use OUR forum to do it."

How very small world and forum-nationalistic of you to reference "OUR" forum. That's akin to saying that a Romanian has no right to express an opinion in OUR country just because you don't agree with it. I cant help but feel that the colour of TTR's football shirt in no way informs his political perspective. However, moving on........

Its not strange to ask your opinion - not everything you post is bollux - and given your past advocacy of keeping schools closed, its interesting that you now have done what amounts to a vault-face and support reopening. I share your concerns about too much too soon, as I imagine most of those taking/collecting will not have had the jab yet, but at least taking it home to granny may be covered off

Hmmm...it’s a forum for fans of Derby County. Obviously other issues crop up, largely in recent years concerning Brexit and Covid.
Just seems a bit odd to me that a guest from a rival club should be about the most contentious on here and the one who uses it as a forum for the reproduction of political articles more than any other.

My ‘advocacy of keeping schools closed’ was in the context of the rising number of Covid cases at the time. It’s not a ‘volte-face’ at all. The situation has changed, partly as a result of lockdown and partly as a result of the vaccination process. It would surely be a bit daft for my views not to have changed to accommodate the different scenario.

You’re absolutely right about ‘those taking/collecting’ which is why I’m advocating caution. Don’t understand why you didn’t recognise the same problem two months ago.
