There are many tinfoil hat wearers who believe the govt is out to enslave us all. the "wake up, sheeple" movement and all. It's hugely popular in the southern bible belt states of the USA for example, along with a fanatical possession of guns!

I ask because you write in American English which makes me also think about the way we normally are: keep calm and carry on. Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way.
This.... how can I say.... irrational? Response is not typical British calm level headedness. You may think I’m not right with this, but I see that you don’t have that calmness and level headed ness we’re renowned for.
I cannot fathom why you’d see a serious viral outbreak, pandemic, as a way of governments closing ranks and squeezing us with control and power. I find that an odd suggestion given the nature of this pandemic. But that’s just me.

It's just a joke about about the toilets. I knew it wouldn't take long before someone tried to make more of something I said.
To be fair, my wife would say the same to your face. Behind a keyboard or not. She’s very straight talking. It’s not a nasty criticism though so don’t take it as so.Hahaha I also lost fun after hearing that I would've a "let the old die" and "you don't like the country" attitude.
You only hear such nonsense anonymously behind the keyboard on the net, no one has ever said that to my face and I've been living in the UK since 2000 and talk to a lot of people in clubs, pubs or in my public live .
They’re miles away from the bar! ?
Hard bastard.
Not funny when im one of the people who work in a spoons , the 80% wage which we will get , wont cover my bills yet im not entitled to any form of help because i earn £2,10p a week over what the government says i can live on ,this as been calculated on my past working wage and not on what i will get now while our pubs are closed which in reality is going to be longer than a few weeks

I agree, Pearls is quite the straight talker, but a good level argument (not a fight) between friends is healthy, it levels out where we are and who we are, we all can't have the same opinion and that's fine, as long as we accept that and respect it. Just the same way that someone finds something funny that may be offensive to others, or just not funny to others.To be fair, my wife would say the same to your face. Behind a keyboard or not.

Someone will always find offence in something. Just a sign of the times.
- people are saying that teachers have it easy,
- they're sat at home for the foreseeable future doing jack all,
- to teach and provide support for vulnerable children and children of key workers.
- Also, providing online work with resources, activities, reading material and supporting those children at home. Whilst providing meals and some teachers putting their hand in their own pockets to ensure that those children with very little have something.
- As well as ensuring the safeguarding and welfare of all children on their roll.
- Don't forget, the wellbeing of staff members are also being supported because those staff also have children and other people to support.
And people are saying that teachers have it easy, that they're sat at home for the foreseeable future doing jack all, when the truth is schools are open. Teaching staff, support staff, admin staff, catering staff and admin staff are still in work to teach and provide support for vulnerable children and children of key workers. Also, providing online work with resources, activities, reading material and supporting those children at home. Whilst providing meals and some teachers putting their hand in their own pockets to ensure that those children with very little have something. As well as ensuring the safeguarding and welfare of all children on their roll. Don't forget, the wellbeing of staff members are also being supported because those staff also have children and other people to support.
However, after all this I can still laugh when I see memes of teachers with their feet up laughing at the parents dealing with their own kids, or other silly memes and videos of people using toilet roll as currency or planting it, or putting them in bouquets of mother's day flowers.
It's a shit time. Everyone is in the same boat, we can only have a giggle at our own expense and make the best of a bad situation.
This is really, really becoming serious.
The biggest problem, which in my opinion is causing this to become worse, is people are ignoring the governments instructions.It always has been , but few people chose to believe it.It takes people dying to get attention. The govt isn't announcing billions of pounds of support for nothing. It's going to get a lot worse, and just like in other countries, it'll be at the stage where doctors have to choose who to let die because there are not enough ventilators / beds / medicine / equipment.
Like I said earlier, all sites should disable the ability to post / advertise meets at the bare minimum!
Bloody selfish some people are,most of us are doing as the Government asked us..there’s always the idiots???The biggest problem, which in my opinion is causing this to become worse, is people are ignoring the governments instructions.
Absolutely. Have seen photos today of swathes of people down in places like Eastbourne, South End etc because it’s Mother’s Day.Bloody selfish some people are,most of us are doing as the Government asked us..there’s always the idiots???
I know it’s the same in Weston-Super-Mare..some people needs a bloody good shake?Like this. There’s no need for it.
