that's better jaypo ...........

CLKD, it is everyone's history and we should all educate ourselves about it because it should never be allowed to repeat itself. I am completely against the criminal acts which a few people are carrying out, but when people feel ignored/unheard, they often resort to things that we may find unacceptable.

Hello again ladies.

In an interview a woman said that for years local people had been asking the Council in Bristol to remove the statue.  I think she was pleased that a crowd of demonstraters had made the decision for them.

Take care everyone.

Hi

No, it's not the antibody test study.

As for the statues. .. yes, they are part of history, but statues are specifically there to the glorification of their subjects, which is actually abhorrant in the case if slave traders.

They should be put into a museum, with lots of context put around what they are.and what they represent.


The Berlin wall was part of history, but I'm glad it's gone.

And protesters... That's a difficult one, as the protests get infiltrated by others, whose agenda is completely different. But, if the suffragettes hadn't protested, we as women, would not have the freedoms we enjoy today.

Just my thoughts, for what they are worth

Jeepers xx

Can I rant? I am shielding, but as I live on the edge of a village, I go for daily walks along an unmade road, where you can ( I thought) safely social distance from anyone you meet. Up to now I have had no problems until today. A group of 4 people spaced apart were walking towards me. I assumed they would drop behind each other as people normally do, in order to keep a safe distance, but not a bit of it. They didn't give me any room and I couldn't escape onto the narrow bit of verge as it was covered with nettles and brambles. I would have had a go at them, except that it might have put me at further risk. I'm going to carry a retractable ruler to make my point! They didn't appear to be talking to each other.

It's happening more often.  Both my son and myself had separate instances in supermarkets this week.  Also, in both cases it was people masked and gloved up, which is quite laughable really.  It's almost as if they felt invincible with their extra protection.

Not bothered about anyone else though  .

Jeepers - all comments should be worth reading.

Ju Ju - people have no idea ......... rubbish appearing in the countryside now that McDonalds etc. are open, cars racing by our house really, really fast.  All lockdown situations forgotten, will soon be back to normal as it was after 9/11.  Except for those that are badly affected and involved.

Councils don't take notice of much at all, as they aren't in post for long enough. 

Northamptonshire has the most deaths again 

[suzysunday]

Yes, agree with all of that clkd.

[CLKD]

Well it seems that the 'it all ends at 5.00 p.m.' worked then   

I feel that we are getting out of lockdown a little too quickly.  People are still dying  ........ OK where social distancing is being enforced but a Rabbi was knifed today and apparently the man had followed him into and out of the store B4 the incident - no distancing there ? 

Our shop is now relying on regulars to know the routine and thus far it is working.  One villager aged 92 didn't want to jump the queue but was 'encouraged' as it was very hot today.  Then he decided to go round the shop staff [5] and have a chat with each  .  He lives alone.

I also think we are rushing out of lockdown too quickly CLKD. Too much too soon. Why not just introduce one easing measure, then wait a couple of weeks and introduce the next?
It feels like the government were trying to placate us after that bloody Dominic Cummings debacle. I also think we should have had a stricter earlier lockdown with clear rules like they did in other countries.

However, I understand the economy is ruined and that people are getting blas? and starting to do what they want anyway, including my own dd I'm ashamed to say.

I'm fed up with it now.

[CLKD]

The government shut down the NHS as they feared it would be swamped - well there's a lesson they won't be learning 'cos once this is over 

Northamptonshire seems to have a huge problem, it's known as a 'hotspot' ........ hopefully someone will get to the bottom of why eventually but 7 deaths between Wed and Friday 

I will be keeping away from others.  We don't mix anyway, miserable gits usually  .   We are being eased back by the Banks.  Pushing and pushing ....... and the Prof who was sacked from SAGE keeps putting his oar in, now saying that we went into lock down too late.  Hindsight? or truth - will we ever be told ?

Don't be ashamed of DD Blot.  Some say that we need herd immunity, others say that will never happen: all supposedly 'experts'  .  Even though there was no template for this, the fact that the governments of the World met: twice: to discuss the what ifs makes my blood boil.  That's when the public should have been warned!!

The problem being the virus was probably in this country waaaay before and we just didn't know,nobody on this earth can tell me we have a sure date for when this virus started here

It's funny you should say that.  I had a strange virus way back in September.  It wasn't particularly bad but the symptoms match.  My family said I was mistaken until I got out my journal and showed them.

  I had a nasty virus which affected my throat and lasted about 6 weeks from Nov to Dec. I have wondered about it since.

Poverty also kills, so the sooner the economy can get moving again the better. 3 of our friends, all different industries, have lost their jobs in the past month, and 2 more are expecting to be told very soon.

The majority of people will adhere to rules and coming out of lockdown, will act responsibly. The others, well.....

What bothers me is, moving forward a few months when the usual cold and flu viruses start doing the rounds, will people have to isolate at the first sign of a cough/sneeze?
