Actually- the best thing about this is, the dementors are going to be SO gutted 😂

Their chief lockdown champion.....ISNT locking down.
hahaha!

Teateaandmoretea · 05/05/2020 20:29

I just made the mistake of reading some school stuff on Facebook. Why do they all think that closing schools till September is the answer? It makes no sense at all and surely makes an autumn spike more likely.

Teateaandmoretea · 05/05/2020 20:30

And yeah what a dick that Neil Ferguson is 🙄

Mascotte · 05/05/2020 20:33

It's surprisingly quiet on active threads about him..

PickAChew · 05/05/2020 20:38

The first I saw of it was here. Not been on twitter, mind. That'll be kicking off.

Mascotte · 05/05/2020 20:39

I saw it on Twitter.

The80sweregreat · 05/05/2020 20:48

I'm never trusted Ferguson! His young lady is so pretty : what does she see in him?
Trouble is people will now go out even more and upset the dementors now.
It's always one rule for them isn't it?

Orangeblossom78 · 05/05/2020 21:18

Remember this as well? Police clapping in crowds on London Bridge. just seems like a farce at times doesn't it.

Mmm, sexy virologists Grin Still giggling from the Thread of National Recklessness earlier. Talk about asking a question and not wanting the answer, amazing!

Alsohuman · 05/05/2020 22:14

hope his reputation is forever ruined

Ferguson’s reputation should have been ruined after foot and mouth. He fucked up and nearly ruined the farming industry with an unnecessarily brutal cull. Stupid, stupid man. Sorry, I sound a bit dementory.

SomewhereEast · 05/05/2020 22:28

So apparently it was ok for Ferguson to make an informed choice about his risks and priorities, but that isn't ok for anyone else??? I also love the fact that he basically wrote himself an immunity passport even though the Gov has apparently rejected immunity passports as too dangerous.

Mikki2019 · 05/05/2020 22:47

Absolute joke !!

Hopefully will be huge amount of pressure on BJ now from Tory backbenchersn to release lockdown sooner rather than later

Yep. The government can’t seriously tell us another 3 weeks of lockdown after this cluster fck surely? They’ll look like idiots saying STAY AT HOME now, none will listen to them.

Weird phenomenon though- there are hardly ANY dementors in the Neil Ferguson thread! Just a few feeble attempts to justify his behaviour “think of how many people aren’t dead because of him..........”
Where has all their bravado and conviction gone?! They’re like shrivelled 80% deflated balloons now 😮

Russellbrandshair · 05/05/2020 23:01

You know what this means..... Neil Ferguson is HARRY POTTER! 😆

TinRoofRusty · 05/05/2020 23:12

I'm shocked by the amount of government "professionals" lecturing us about staying away from people and how DANGEROUS it is and we should all LOCK OURSELVES AWAY whilst they swan about wherever they damn please.

I'm not at all! They're all a bunch of hypocritical wannabe autocrats. Ferguson's that foot and mouth cock, isn't he?

Willitneverend · 06/05/2020 00:00

I've had George Michael's Outside stuck in my head for the last few days:

Let's go outside
In the sunshine
I know you want to but you can't say "yes"

Surely this is an anti Dementor anthem? Grin

Jenasaurus · 06/05/2020 00:06

This seems a nice place to chat, room for another one?

Delta1 · 06/05/2020 07:17

Morning tribe. Just wanted to say thank God for you all! I have to keep jumping on to this thread to keep me sane.
It's all kicking off already on the back to school vs never leave home again threads. Can you imagine the hysteria come Sunday if BoJo announces what we think he's going to? Thank goodness Sunday is a wine day Smile

Mikki2019 · 06/05/2020 07:23

If we flour the lockdown I have just seen we will have ...

Heatwave Lockdown Grin

Mikki2019 · 06/05/2020 07:23

Flout! Or maybe we should flour it up and deep fry

SureTry · 06/05/2020 07:27

We'll have a lot of people making their own informed choices now. Just think about all those threads where someone has dared to ask if they can see their mum when they have both been self isolating. Those people have been piled on by ♟ I wonder what they'll say now.

Mikki2019 · 06/05/2020 07:32

100% @suretry

My 16 year old son literally couldn’t believe the hypocrisy -heard him and his mates all talking about it on Xbox live

midgebabe · 06/05/2020 07:37

I really don't understand why you immediately discredit the guys science because he acts like a self entitled dick.

I had hoped this thread would be about balance, but it seems not, it seems you are as demented as the lockdown forever brigade.

Mikki2019 · 06/05/2020 07:39

@midgebabe

Because he has unequivocally demonstrated he doesn’t buy his own theory ?

Orangeblossom78 · 06/05/2020 07:45

I think we can all see that overall lockdown and other measures such as in Sweden of course help the situation, I can't see anyone here has said that isn't the case...

We're just commenting on the incredulity and hypocrisy of the situation, particularly as he has tested positive! While the rest of us, having low risk now after being in quarantine for weeks, have to follow their rules which in some cases don't really make sense!
