....a bunch of dwindling aficionados playing the same old ageing tunes. Discuss.

Why would it need legislation? They could say Take it or leave it? If you want support here are our terms - workers on boards; support in return for equity...they had pretty similar ideas in their manifesto, Do banks need legislation to bail out businesses? Bizzarre claim, and baseless nonsense on your part.

whilst that's true BB, a Labour government under Corbyn with would have put massive strings attached to any business supported eg workers on boards, governemnt shareholding and nationalised vast swathes of industry under the cloak of Covid. What we have now is temporarily nationalisation, thank god, and even this is going to be paid for for years by us the taxpayer, and our kids.

How much of this is hearsay and just reading the newspapers. Anecdotally I've been to several pubs in several cities/counties since reopening, on holiday in the UK during very hot weather and on the beach and in parks in SE22 throughout the lovely weather of lockdown and I've seen almost no one not being careful and observing social distancing. Maybe i just mix with a better class of people than you lot. *there is actually one exception to my experience connected to a recent religous ceremony where there were probably 100+ people of all generations having a BBQ in a park in Portsmouth. But we are not really comfortable discussing this I suspect. Hence all the coded stuff in the media about the areas that have had localised shutdowns, even though it's obvious what many of them have in common. I also think young people are being a bit crap too but i don't know many nowadays

Great, we look forward to you posting a link to some obscure betting site any minute.....now

Jeeez cat 'understanding my white privilege and seeing it as psrt of the solution blah blah' is a nice theoretical debate, systematic racism and day to day discrimination is something that you and I (as a white male) know absolutely fuck all about and not some intellectual exercise.

Boo for Boris? people need to grow up

Shits on middle class festivals of today (or maybe yesterday) I was there, 15 and petrified/exilerated https://youtu.be/6utdlMvuD74

It's bullshit, I've zero tolerance for such self righteous, moronic certainty to be honest. No nuance, no analysis, no relation to facts, I have no doubt you sincerely believe this but it's fantasy.

Well he's out. And whatever you think about its sincerity, hypocrisy, etc. politically that was a very good speech he's released on SM

-Personally I think the na?ve sops who believe everything they read on Facebook are those that think the NHS is about to be sold to Trump by the evil Tories.

Behave KK, the left have been saying we only have X weeks to save the NHS since the 80S, the electorate don't buy it not because they are na?ve saps but because it's bullshit.

I'm ambivalent about the jogging and virus thing, I've not seen any joggers misbehaving. However, despite that, I'm very glad joggers are getting a hard time because for years I've felt that they're a bunch of absolute strokers.

QED

I'm not a massive fan of Boris, but I've grown fonder of him purely on the basis of how much he gets up the noses of bien pensants types of the white metropolitan middle class. He must be doing something right.

can't work out if this is top draw trolling or top draw stupidity

Grrrrr - forgot. In now.

I did this. I used to be a wind up merchant on local forums :)

Hello everyone Yeah, can't wait for, at best, AT BEST, President: Fry, Lineker, or God forbid Blair and the grey, dull, municipal socialism of the Republic. In fact the 'elitist' Royal wedding has probably done more for race relations in this country than 10,000 of Owen Jones or Jezzas hideously white middle-class shouty 'rallies'. Good to see the normal bunch of lefty village idiots doing their thang on here. plus ca change How the devil are you all?

100

So, crap service and crap food - plus ca change
