O/T. The Government's handling of Covid

[ramAnag]

"I’m not remotely religious but they probably fit in well with genuine Christianity and I’m entirely comfortable with that."

St ramAnag, patron saint of the WOKE !! Lets call for a canonisation and then you can write a auto hagiography

Hmmm...more silliness. Still no answer.

There you go again, ‘leftist ideals’, ‘former teacher’ (totally irrelevant btw), Hitler/Stalin/Mao, migrants equal the ‘18-30 single male club’, WOKE, history being ‘doctored’...blah,blah, blah. No agenda there then.

As ever there’s the tiniest grain of truth in everything you say and you cling on to it obsessively in a way which never ceases to betray your increasingly obvious prejudices.

My ‘colours coming to the surface’. I’ve never attempted to hide them Tricky...unlike some.
Unfortunately it’s increasingly hard to make one’s voice heard on here without being shouted down by the usual suspects, but my ‘colours’ are those of decency, fairness, tolerance and an increasing level of egalitarianism. I’m not remotely religious but they probably fit in well with genuine Christianity and I’m entirely comfortable with that.

P.S. Still no attempt at an answer from any of the three degrees to the question posed yesterday in #2631 I see. I’ve asked three times but it’s all gone oddly quiet.

Oh dear Thicky has a very short memory about what he posted - xenophobic comments about cheap eastern European labour stealing Uk jobs because factories are moved to eastern europe, accompanied by a description in detail about their lifestyle, customs and habits that make them inferior to Uk citizens, references to what black people said to him in prison, 900 Syrian criminals coming over as refugees, a generalisation that it was non whites undertaking grooming of children, ignoring one Saville amongst others.

AS for being taken over by the EUSSR, one we were and always would be, as are Germany, France etc. independent sovereign countries. We werent ruled by a Commission and in fact had a unique ability to exercise a veto over many things we might not want from the EU and indeed exercised that veto many times - but more importantly. many of the so called EU laws were drawn up and suggested by the UK!! Not only that but we were right jobs worths in implementing them as well. The fact you believe the utter false ****e that the Tories and Farage spouted about the EU just shows how thick you really are.

Even if politically we might to have wanted to remove ourselves from the EU as member, leaving the single market and customs union was economic madness. We now have more red tape, higher costs and barriers to trading with are closet trading block.

All we are now is a vassel state of the USA, seeing as our total armed forces is less than Russia currently has on the Ukraine border, not sure what the UK alone is going to do without the States or the EU!

History doctored? How is highlighting some of the more unpleasant parts of history doctoring it? There is a lot of banging on how wonderful the Uk was, less about how it got its power and empire, having these facts objectively considered is not doctoring history at all.

Jeez the sheer ignorance and naivety of Thicky takes some beating.

I don't recall a question?

Actually you can't be canonised whilst still alive, it seems, so even you would struggle to write an auto hagiography

...add short term memory loss and talking to yourself to your increasingly eccentric behaviour.

Anyway, this thread...page 264...post #2631...para 1. That should help. In your own time...or not, your choice.

This should cheer you up, perhaps even - given your numbers fixation - cause a ripple of excitement in GP World. Today is both a palindrome and an ambigram. Contain yourself.

I think he means this bit.

What, imo, we would be better focusing our attention on is what is the motivation behind the Government’s sudden proposed relaxation of the rules. Is it premature and political or thought through and science based? Is it backed by the scientists who guided us through all this for so long? Or is it to deflect attention from the PM’s failings and dishonesty?
All infinitely more interesting than how many Black people GP spotted wearing a mask on a windy railway station or how many predominantly white people I saw wearing a mask in Derby’s club shop last match day...imo.

The government has made a decision on-
1. The scientists are saying it is no where near as dangerous as it was at the outbreak 2 years ago
2. The hospitals are not swamped with COVID, nor are people dying in the biblical proportions prophesied
3. Most people getting it now, compare it to a bad cold
4. Poeple are fed up
5. The country can't afford to play hide and seek anymore
6. Public opinion is now vastly waved in the direction of no more marshall law

Why have they done this?
Because politically, satisfying the majority is better for them and causes less disruption.
You may not like that, but there you go.

Do you? Then I can only conclude that you’ve never grasped the concept of paragraphs. I honestly don’t know how much clearer I can make it.

Right lets deal with the compulsive liar now.

1. How can complaining jobs exiting the country, because EU rules make it easier to go where the cheap labour is xenophobic?
In what way have I said they are sub human to us by their customs/lifestyle? I'll wait for the eveidence of this.
2. So black people being racist to me doesn't count then? This sounds like a Lammy/Abbott speech.
I thought racism was abhorred by all in this country and as a white person I too had rights? Obviously not, in Swales head. This leads on to the grooming gangs comments.
LETS ALL KEEP QUIET AND SAY NOTHING ABOUT IT, AS IT MIGHT UPSET SOMEONE.
Saville? Are you having a laugh. Saville was despicable, yet I said at the time, who defended him?
YES YOUR VERY WONDERFUl BBC and Sir KIER STARMER - you muupet.

3. Of course we do. The commission are nothing and they set policy and direction. Its an open book of elections and people deciding.
I thought we joined a free trade block, not a political union? My mistake. Nothing to do with making a political elite very rich and forming a new empire is it?

History is doctored by just portraying characters and events factually wrong.
Perhaps we should remake Zulu, with Farage and the UKIP voters besieging the Lambeth mission, defended by Lieutenant Lammy and all non whites in Red coats?

You Swale I have you figured. You are exactly the Well off Liberal type who has pushed all this agenda, for your own better.
Cheap labour/ money making oportunities for the better off.
Let other countries have the run of directions of the way things go, but all the time sat in the corner giggling and pretending to be on the side of the working class.

You are like the BBC. Promotes all the minority issues, plays the WOKE card at every opportunity. Loves the anti British stance.
Yet I want you to get back to me on the diversity representation at the top of the BBC.

The phrase not in my back yard springs out, thats you sunshine.

well 3 of us are waiting for you to explain it, You change tac more times than an olympic yacht.
Usually as a diversion when you ****ed up in the argument

For me crack on.
The people about to die from missed appointments/treatments will make COVID look like a coughing fit.
The economy needs full throttle now.
You are obviously terrified of COVID. That's down to you.
Wear a mask/ don't?

You need to be careful what you wish for.
It could easily be the Chinese way of dealing with compliance
