Anti-Dementor Alliance Thread - learn how to produce your patronus here

[Tappering]

New thread!

Oh fhs, Drakeford is an idiot or so the media are making him out to be. He does not understand socialism only works if you can tax enough capitalists

Hello, joining new thread!

David Spiegelhalter is excellent. His books should be compulsory reading for anyone found committing unscientific dementory.

Images of VE day Genocide.
Lidl had an excellent selection of cheese, flour, gin and bedding plants.
It was also a lot more civilised than Morrissons, where the local populace are starting to get nasty and abuse the till staff.
It's a 6 mile drive to either shop ( or top up shops are done on foot at the local farms, where one can purchase vegetables, eggs or milk using an honesty box- we're in a different century to the most of the country here) so I think I will be switching my allegiance from now on.

We're dementoring charity shops now... of course someone might have sneezed over your Boded striped top but that's middle class germs.

Went to waitrose today for my weekly shop and bought the last two bags of flour. I got told off by a person who felt they deserved the two bags more because she was vulnerable. Meanwhile, I'm pregnant and at full term. Lol. Battle of who is more vulnerable.

She came within 2 metre to tell me, so I asked her to mind her two meters as she might have the virus. She was very offended 😂😂😂

Love using the rules against the dementors.

The swimming pool business is getting under my skin. Who is the OP putting in danger? Oh, sorry, it's against The Rules.

@Theluggage15 I saw that interview, I thought it was really very good. The bits you have mentioned as well as what he was saying about comparing countries death rates.

Hurrah! Reporting in!

The mood IS changing... I see more and more people failing to fall for the disaster mongering

Oh and the dementors going on about their lock down neighbours using their gardens making a noise, mowers, children, hot tubs. The cheek of them.

@justasking yes! Play netball as it's quieter than basketball and the house might upset any neighbours who might have the virus...

Given I live in Scotland I don't think much is going to change for me but at least I will be able to legally walk my dog twice a day without killing 20 grannies.

My dog's a lazy fucker and would be disgusted at the idea of going out twice a day in the cold and wet!

I loved the one suggesting to put pipe insulation around the basketball hoop... duh the ball wouldn't fit through it then!

There's no once a day rule, never has been except in Wales.

Apollo i thought our hlorious leader wasnt changing things here?
Not that i actually listen to her anyway. I didnt know that we weren't allowed to drive for exercise, not that i have...yet.

Fell asleep with the baby and missed a tonne of posts. Too lazy to read properly.

Can my patronus be a penguin

@Willow2017 she hasn't changed anything. She says she has in that you can exercise more than once but that's always been the case. It's fucking inane.

I can't believe the VE thread is still going. Their like a bunch of Rottweilers with a bone!

It's rife in Scotland with all the SNP supporters plastering STAY HOME SAVE LIVES stuff all over Facebook. Unfollowed

I'm getting quite excited for 7pm. Not that I want to get my hopes up.

There seems to have been a real shift on MN today. There are so many more posters saying they want to be trusted to get on with things for the sake of the economy and the message seems to have filtered through that this virus is not a threat to most. Sense at last! (Mind you, I've only recently changed my thinking before, not that I was ever at the level of full on dementor)

I just ordered a load of stuff from garden centre to collect.

I might well go to one of our local garden centres if they do re-open. I want to choose some nice big planters and plants, and finally start to pretty up my rather bare patio.

To be fair, the simple phrase "stay alert" doesn't tell us anything.

I had a look on the TAAT on that and someone had posted a graphic with a bit more information, which basically boiled down to "keep socially distancing, and if you spot any symptoms then self-isolate" - which is really not what "alert" means. The only part of that which "alert" could possibly relate to is "notice if you have any symptoms".

I think a lot of the people questioning the phrase aren't confused or stupid, the're simply irate at the sloppy use of language (I know I am).

All I want is to go and spend the day with my parents. If We're still not allowed to after tonight then the fuck it all approach will be activated and I will be going anyway.

gah! they're
