Well just as the UK bring in new measures to protect its citizens, all the immune people take to the streets to protest 😏🤦🏽

I was being sarcastic 😬
Jack, sometimes English gets wasted on the Brits (I'm not being sarcastic). I have found that while the Irish have taken to British humour bigtime it may not always be the case the other way round. Sometimes Irish humour/satire gets mistaken for something else in that large island east of Ireland where they struggle to speak perfect English. Don't worry though, we'll educate them.
But, in Ireland there are protesters demanding restrictions to be lifted too. The virus is beatable (wash hands, wear masks, sneeze properly, refrain for handling nearly every item in a supermarket etc and of course common sense).
I'd love to see these protesters (and we have 'em on this forum) doing voluntary work in hospital covid wards without using masks or protective equipment. That would be one way of ridding our nations of such protesting fools. I reckon a vaccine will be found sooner or later (probably later) and will these protestors allow us compliant people ahead of them in the queue? I think not!
I'm just thinking of frontline staff working in covid busy hospitals and what they think of the protestors.
Hi Matthew, Just so you know, I think there was only one person on this forum that was a protestor, and that was Jen Jen and she has now been banned.
Have a nice Sunday Jenni

I know Jen-Jen has her issues with compliment with some Covid restrictions. I don't think these got her banned as the moderators here appear to be in support of free speech. In fact, I don't know that she is banned and perhaps she is just not contributing? I hardly agree with a word Jen-Jen says, but I respect her right to say it.

Hi Matthew, Yes she has been banned, I have spoken to her, and she told me Alex has banned her, with no explanation (as usual).
I disagree with you on the point of the moderators on this forum, supporting free speech, in the past posts have been deleted, including yours, because the moderators didn't like what was said.
I do agree with you that I dont always agree with everyone, but I do agree they should have the right to speak freely without begin censored.

This post wasn’t aimed at anyone in particular, but if someone says they are a doubting Thomas then they are free to respond.
We have friends whose daughter is a conspiracy theorist, as her mother says it’s a excuse for not complying with the rules that don’t suit them. They have banned her from their home as have her siblings. They have tried to explain.....at length....that her parents deserve respect and to be given as much protection as possible, but she refuses to listen.
As Matthew said earlier, ask these people to go into a hospital without PPE and let’s see where they stand on the issue.

sadly the 'new' wave is being ramped up by mainly younger people,perhaps they should read this
That is true, but some young people (not all, by any means) would expect their parents and grandparents to sacrifice themselves for them. They would see it as their right. They have been mollicoddled to the point where any sense of responsibility is alien. If they haven't been taught about respect and responsibility how can we expect them to understand?
They need a sharp wake up call. I have no suggestions!
