Die fetten jahre sind vorbei. Abolish the special relationship now #fktheusa C'est la fierté de nos couleurs

So now we've leapt from 'easter will be hugely better' to 'confident we can be back to normal before 2022'. They really don't have an exit strategy do they?.

Question 1- why was the approach road blocked off to stop access to fire engines. Question 2- who exactly did marstons sell it to that they won't reveal. Question 3- who did the new owner pay to torch it?.

Well I'm sat on a train and I'd say percentage wearing masks lower than I've seen in ages. Maybe 50-50. Good to see the train actually quite busy as well. .

You know the most offensive bit of a truly crap year? When they actually chained the swings up and put barbed wire on the kids playground on my road. I mean talk of sledgehammer to crack nut territory. And how to psychologically damage kids @UsforThemUK.

@Arwenstar True with the exception they want to send others to war. Just like they wanted to send others to amazon warehouses or jobs at deliveroo to preserve their embourgeoised lifestyle.

@JamesMelville I think libertarian/authoritarian has replaced the left/right divide as the main division right now. Unfortunately this pandemic has revealed many on the left to be rather lured towards authoritarian ideas.

@AbiChippindale Best one was my colleagues all blubbing because they want them to go back 2 days a week and it's 'not safe' yet they all met in a crowded pub to discuss tactics and for someone's birthday. Methinks safety isn't the real underlying reason. .

If an individual pupil had been out of school half of the time the 'average' pupil has missed in terms of school days since September, social services would be involved. We're destroying kids education on the altar of saving their granny.

If/when this is all over, 2 things urgently need looking at. 1- our paranoid fear of our own mortality. death is fact, why so scared to confront that?. 2- overfocus on longevity above quality. Being happy to lock ppl away in the care system with zero life quality but 'alive'.

@hughosmond Honestly think there is a horrid puritanical holier than thou element to lockdown supporters. They'll propose next locking up swings in parks going beyond this crisis every Thursday at 8 to worship the demagogue that is our nondescript health service.

So Johnson now saying the return to school is, and I quote, made possible by the 'pace of the vaccine programme'. So if there was no vaccine, and no vaccine on the horizon, kids could never go to school until when, exactly?.

Perhaps this might show the lockdown zealots that there is a difference between free from, and free to. And being free from viruses isn't a realistic goal if we want a life where we are free to do the things that make being alive worthwhile.

@fiago7 Uruguay. 3.4 million population but football is absolutely huge there. Competitive league where most teams get over 15000. Won 2 world cups, semi finalists in 2010. Number of kids playing football on street there from very young age huge.

So many people seem to think the role of a government is to keep them safe. And that a government will prioritise that out of duty. Both are very flawed assumptions.

100,000 people is 0.14% of the population. Yes it's sad. But ffs can't we focus on the 99.86% of the population who haven't died of covid and stop this excessive government overreach that's ruining lives and livelihoods? Whatever happened to for the many. .

Quite amusing those thinking (rightly) we should boycott China for their abhorrent human rights abuses yet still saying we should follow their model in locking down for a relatively mild virus in the most Chinese model of authoritarianism possible.

@Psycobunny @fairyknuff Also, if you don't need to isolate if testing positive, surely it's time to save taxpayers a hell of a lot of money by ending 'free' testing? If we're treating this like the flu, last I checked you don't constantly test for that. .

Dangerous seems to be the new go to insult. I'll take it as a complement. Was it refused once sang, we could be dangerous, art as a real threat. There is no real courage unless there is real danger.
When they call me dangerous, just remember that three million people have no voice right now, no money, no hope. I choose to speak for them. there is no mental health without food and housing.

@princessjack @LucyGoBag The worst bit of this?

Person A wants to go out and live life, asks nothing of Person B. Person B is scared and wants Person A to stay in so that they feel safe. And demands restrictions to force them. Why is it that so many have for the last 2 years labelled Person A, not Person B as the selfish one??.
