    Driving into national parks to walk dogs is valid, eh?

    You know, potentially spreading cv from one region to another...

    Embrace the New Order, mate [or else!]. We can hold hands in the queue for bread and soup - that our generous government will provide free of charge - while we sing patriotic songs. Socialists will rejoice at the greater equality. Okay, we'll be equally skint but it still counts.

    Nanny will also ensure we can be tracked at all times to enhance our safety and security - because it cares for our welfare so much.

    We have one more group of people that Organ considers himself superior to. This time it's those whose income has been affected. What an honour it is to have one of the golden elite post here

    I suspect Delm's problems will be temporary whereas you have been walking around with an "End is nigh" sandwich board for many many years.

    Haven't asked for a handout from anyone ta, lost my job last Thursday, got immediately straight on it and got a full time job in a Tesco Distribution Warehouse by Wednesday. Providing for loved ones and helping the national effort until my job starts again. Got a day off today and have just come off a group community meeting call about helping people in need around where I live.

    That's me, you however, as you keep showing, are a little different. Like I said before, times like these = character amplifiers.

    Have a fun day on youtube.

    Don't ask me how, but I can confirm Delmbox is one of life's good guys.

    Orwell bless him ,certainly believed in policing lol

    ""Orwell*self-identified*as a democratic socialist, but his sympathy didn’t extend to communists. In 1949, he compiled a*list*of artists he suspected of having communist leanings and passed it along to his friend, Celia Paget, who worked for the UK’s Information Research Department. After the war ended, the branch was tasked with distributing anti-communist propaganda throughout Europe. Orwell's list included Charlie Chaplin and a few dozen other actors, writers, academics, and politicians.*""

    Orwell was nearly killed by the communists when fighting in the Spanish Civil War. The leftist political party with whose militia he served (the POUM, the Workers' Party of Marxist Unification, an anti-Stalinist communist party) was declared an illegal organisation by the communists, and Orwell was consequently forced to flee Spain. Orwell did not know that two months before he arrived in Spain, the [Soviet law enforcement agency] NKVD's resident in Spain, Aleksandr Orlov, had assured NKVD Headquarters, 'the Trotskyist organisation POUM can easily be liquidated'—by those Communists, whom Orwell took to be allies in the fight against Franco.

    Thus he became aware of how powerful and vile the Russian Communists were, and had an intense dislike for them for them the rest of his life. I don't blame him at all for dobbing in misguided fools who thought communism was the way forward. Remember that Stalin killed far more of his own people than Hitler ever did in the WW II

    In west Wales, police turning back camper vans from whence they came - if that's Orwellian, tough, bring it on! Hopefully the message will get through and deter others from trying it.

    No don't think so, I'm assuming he read the article as I did earlier.

    These times have set a precedent. It will be so much easier for future Governments to 'act in the National Interest' from now on..

    Sometimes the board is like conspiracy theorist central.

    In the US we have no lockdown and the virus is spreading like an unchecked wildfire. A tsunami of deaths are about to hit us.

    I'm prepared to curtail my personal liberty for a few months to save lives, new world order/secret cabal of evil billionaires or no.
