Coronavirus update - NO MORE RESTRICTIONS

[xsnaggle]

Re: Coronavirus update

Use shedloads of taxpayer's money to encourage people to eat out in August then place major restrictions on those same restaurants and pubs after cases increase a month later. Makes perfect sense

I wouldn't call shutting at 10 PM a 'major' restriction. And table service is normal in a restaurant anyway isn't it?

Everybody out by 10pm. That's a 33% reduction in sittings for most restaurants. What would you call it?

It doesn't have to be if people eat earlier. No one can make them but they can.

I’m not I’m saying life goes on....it has to even with 500 cancer deaths a day, 500 heart attacks...etc....

Life obviously doesn't go on for some of those groups of people that you mentioned....

Re: Coronavirus update

I really don't get the objections to many of the measures from SOME sectors of the public. Of course those in fear of losing their jobs and pub and bar owners are worried - very worried - about the effects but for the rest of us we just have to get on with it. When you consider that our our parents and grandparents were conscripted to go to war with the real possibility that they will never come back is leaving the pub an hour early such a big deal?

I wonder how these people would have coped in the blitz? No doubt they would be bellyaching about blackouts and rations.

I keep thinking that, we can appreciate this has been to most people a slight inconvenience yet the reactions from some are unbelievable.

Rationing during WW2 went on for 14 years, how would people have coped with that?!

Not decrying what people went through during WW2 but I do know that my mother and father’s family’s had bugger all in the 20s & 30s, even before in my Dad’s case seeing as he was born in 1913. So even though rationing was shite it wasn’t as though they were dining out regularly or Deliveroo we’re bringing them takeaways on their boneshakers before the war. There must have been old stagers from the Great War also taking the piss out of the whiners reminding them how hard it was during the 14/18 lot, while they were shot down in flames by Boer War veterans at the time of their conflict and so on and so forth. I think the organisation and running of the show during this pandemic is deserving of the moaning and groaning by the general public, it’s been a shambles really, thank the Lord it was a pandemic and not a war, can you imagine our leaders planning a winning strategy??

In regards to your last sentence, if we do have another war can we conscript all the patriotic, daft old xenophobic wankers who voted Brexit to go kill Johnny Foreigner whilst us remainers can watch them being blown to bits on Sky News eating fromage and vin de Blanc.

I'm sure Colonel Blinky aka Boris will lead the charge over the top.

Kids actually went to school during the war according to my mother....can you imagine it today?
