Oh no. We mustn't do that!

Apparently thats when they will be testing the 5G masts which will send out a loud buzz and they want us to clap and shout to cover it up.

They're using the masts to spread the virus don'tcha know? Hmm

According to BBC South Today there were actually very few who flouted the lockdown this weekend. They showed pictures of empty beaches, even the fabled West Wittering, and the A3 and M27 were empty too.

Sorry to disappoint the frothers. And those hoping for a stricter lockdown.

Funny that the photo shows an empty park, isn't it?

I assume you're able to read though, rather than just look at pictures.

SoupDragon · 05/04/2020 20:28

Not sure which photo you're looking at that is empty anyway.

Miljea · 05/04/2020 20:32

I think rather more of us are going 'Hmm. So this is how Nazi Germany arose. And the surveillance state of the USSR'.

Be careful about what you cheer for.

Willow2017 · 05/04/2020 20:38

Is this a joke? Seriously, firstly, we shouldn’t be swearing when there’s likely to be children listening. Also, this won’t make people realise to stay inside. It’s just cringey.

Why? What for? You'll just look like an absolute knob.

Any more than the attempted and epic failed 'clapping for kids' today nonsense, 2 minutes silence for 'Rememberence' in the middle of crisis not after it insanity, 'shining torches at the stars' (clue - the stars dont give a flying fuck) and 'Dancing for feck knows what' on your doorstep?

Its a JOKE Jeez! Remember them?
Nobody told us that one of the signs of 'the lockldown which isnt actually a lockdown' would be a losing of all mental capacity for the humour in life!

MN used to be full of humourous stuff, intelligent, pithy, hilarious not any more thanks to the self appointed Moral Guardians of the Fecking Galaxy and the Joy Suckers Unanimous

I'd love to but me and my mates will be having a barbeque in the park.

PorpentinaScamander · 05/04/2020 20:47

GrinGrinGrin
I'm going to do this and then go back inside as quickly as I can
Then pop my head out and look disapproving at my straight laced elderly neighbours door and tut at her bad manners Grin

This is such a stupid comparison 🤦 We are not planning on murder millions of people. We are looking to stay at home and save people. Ffs.
Seriously, can @MNHQ just finally crack on this? So insulting to actually victims.

Way to ruin a fun thread.
Dickheads

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe · 05/04/2020 21:18

Willow, those intelligent posters have long gone. It's not funny because there have been hundreds of threads berating people for any number of transgressions - nobody doing anything about it mind - just lots of loud braying while they find their sheep-le.

As for people thinking this is a joke, it's only funny if everybody's in on it. People don't think for themselves, will follow any amount of stupid and I don't particularly want my kids to be listening to mindless morons chanting 'wanker', thanks.

I'd be delighted if MNHQ clamped down too, we don't need this crap, there's enough going on.

I don't care if I'm called a 'dickhead' or fun-sponge or any number of names, there are few here whose opinion I value. It does go to show the mentality though. Ugh.

I don’t really think there’s much comparison between saluting and shouting heil hitler and yelling wankers out of our front doors. Grin

@LyingWitchInTheWardrobe

"People don't think for themselves"

Says the person who didn't get that this was a joke. Your superiority is misplaced, to say the least.

Rebs1994 · 05/04/2020 22:58

Agreed! 👏🏼

LastTrainEast · 05/04/2020 23:21

Well I laughed. Grin

YourVagesty · 05/04/2020 23:32

I came here to tell you to get fucked OP, but this I can get behind Grin

OmgThereAreNoPlanesAboveMeNow · 05/04/2020 23:34

I am setting alarm for this so i can identify MNneters nearby😂😂

TimeForDinnerDinnerDinner · 05/04/2020 23:41

Tillygetsit · 05/04/2020 23:44

Very funny! Love it Grin

OmgThereAreNoPlanesAboveMeNow

Ahhh

Do you not have any mumsnetters near you

Or have you been arrested for breach of the peace

OmgThereAreNoPlanesAboveMeNow · 06/04/2020 20:37

No mumsnetters. Or we were all waiting for that first "wanker" to join in😂

RufustheLanglovingreindeer · 06/04/2020 20:40

Fair point 😀
