These anti Lockdown conspiracy theorists

Re: These anti Lockdown conspiracy theorists

James, you are making a bit of a fool of yourself, old fruit.

Not at all, just ahead of the curve on this one.

Old fruit is fine btw, it's not a reference to skin colour. But mocking a skin colour by tying it to a pig or a lump of meat is different.

As mentioned, Bob could have been far more open minded about what Rishi Sunak said in the first place, there was no need for any insults, but ones referencing skin colour certainly aren't okay.

It's not hard, there's plenty of other ways to make a point than to point out someones skin colour and tie it to some kind of animal or grotesque looking piece of food.

Seems to me former Chancellors were given too much authority to bring in brainless schemes like eat out to catch Covid - his increasing efforts to pander to the gammon which get to choose our Prime Ministers these days is pathetic

Bob, after having to suffer all the puerile garbage that followed your post I have to agree with your sentiments on the original issue

A classic case of an all but defeated candidate desperately playing to the gallery in an attempt to (dare I say) bring home the bacon. Note I didn't use the G****n word!

Or perhaps he has looked at the economic, educational, social and health mess left in it's wake and considered that locking down an entire country wasn't the best thing to do?

I appreciate you may not see both sides of the argument, but they exist, and the case that lockdowns caused more damage than they prevented is considerable.

Imagine thinking the word gammon is racist, embarrassing.

It doesn't surprise me to see you defend it as you love dishing out abuse to anyone with a different opinion, but it is Doucas. It absolutely passes the test for it, even if the user didn't intend it as such, in much the way that other terms are not always intended as such.

Gammon is only applied to one skin colour. Skin colour is a protected characteristic, using an abusive term to refer to it is racism. It's as simple as that.

It’s not racist , but there was no need to use it in the post in my opinion.

The chancellor was offering his viewpoint on his own governments overreach ,and their reliance on non elected people having too much influence, which people like myself were posting two years ago and called conspiracy types, right wingers , etc

Typical really that we argue amongst ourselves and the government get away with it unscathed.

Somehow , I can’t see a public enquiry anytime soon.

The arbiter has spoken, probably best to “move on” to find something else for him to rule on now.

A typical response from someone with your demographic makeup .

Read the whole article for balance , people with children , who have their own business etc

Decisions were being made by unelected people based on wild predictions and algorithms.

It was a largescale IQ test, to gauge the gullibility of entire nations before they drop the big one. Follow the money, it can all be traced back to the same sources.

200,000 people have died in this country, what were the “wild predictions” saying? I can remember an American projection nearly two and a half years ago being laughed at when it claimed 66,000 would die in the UK - lots of people with very selective memories around these days.

200,000 the VAST majority of which had underlying health issues and were over 70. Most people at end of life care would be positive due to compromised immune systems.

Some health boards were testing people for positive results after death.

Clearly with millions unvaccinated in the UK at this present moment how is it they have survived?

Not to mention nobody died from the flu for over two years.

Regarding the unvaccinated, that's the elephant in the room isn't it.

Re: These anti Lockdown conspiracy theorists

Absolutely. Billions spent over the years on flu jabs and the scientists missed that all we had to do all this time was stand a few feet apart and breathe into a hankie. Well mercy me.

It doesn't make any sense, unless the plan all along was to create the conditions for a great reset.

Over 35,000 people died of flu between March 2020 and April 2022 - hardly nobody.
