With the two SNP shaggers

[islaydarkblue]

There were a few instances of Swine Flu reported on the news this week (or maybe last) and it was like they were desperate to cause another panic over it.

Of course vulnerable people will always be susceptible to respiratory conditions (as well as others groups who are vulnerable to other such conditions) and I'm all for them isolating. However to close down society in its entirety was a scandal of the highest order. As RRoS says though, they'll agree it was not enough and next time we'll be completely ****ed rather than nearly ****ed.

I agree with everything you say.
However this is the result of the Nanny State where a tiny minority of people are protected with a full lockdown even it means causing considerable inconvenience to everyone else.
It would have been a different story if here had been no furlough payments with working people only being paid the basic weekly unemployment payment from the DWP. The lockdown would have been scrapped and the U.K. Government would have dealt with the Covid-19 outbreak the same way as they did in Sweden.

Do you think the enquiry should be better off spending time finding out if the virus was man made? You do accept that there was a virus that made people ill and those with compromised immunity system did die because of the virus?

It's not an enquiry.

It's the workings to get an answer that they have already settled on.

Those that disagree with answer are being ignored.......like those that signed the Barrington declaration.

Answer is.......lockdowns shuda been earlier, longer and harder.

It call a halt to the so called enquiry now........waste of money.

I'm protected from getting knocked Doon if I never leave the house but it ain't sustainable.

Why should 99.7% of people have their liberties destroyed for the 0.3% ?

And worse why should some of the 99.7% be given a death sentence for the 0.3%........the 40 year old fighting cancer sacrificed to give an 83 year old another 3 mths of life?

It was so so so wrong and people still believe it was the right thing to do and would do it all again in a heartbeat.

This is the problem with the Nanny state in the U.K.
We now get announcements before television programmes such as the Yorkshire Vet warning that some operations will take place in the programme which might upset viewers.
If viewers do not like watching an animal receiving a life threatening operation then do not watch the Yorkshire Vet programme in the first place.

That and normal drama type programmes like Coronation Street and Emmerdale being followed by the obligatory 'if you've been affected by any of the issues' statement.

Farcical and gets right on my thruppennies.
