My neighbours have their grown up son, girlfriend and granddaughter (2yr old) over to visit every day. Plus other grown up son has his girlfriend over to stay 50 per cent of the week.

We're close to our family and miss them terribly... especially today when we'd have all got together. Neighbours are all sitting round their garden table having a family BBQ

My 6 six year old misses his cousins. We are obeying the lockdown rules for obvious reasons so why aren't others? FFS!

Really why do so many idiots think disobeying the lockdown rules is "fighting the man", "standing up against tyranny", an idealistic noble thing to do. It's not it's fucking selfish, entitled and beyond stupid.

This so many times over.

And what human rights would those be @Amymayapple since I have actually read through it.
Clearly not anything relating to equal pay, the right to work if you want, the right to a nationality, the right to seek asylum, the right to the rights, the right to move between states in agreement with the convention, the right to return to your home state, the right to an education, the right to a fair trial, the right to peaceful assembly, the right to own property, the right to rest and leisure?
Which one exactly? Given I've mentioned at least 13 (and a further two relate to having the rights within the convention, taking the total to 15) and there are only 30 I don't believe that the lockdown "breaks lots of the human rights listed".

If you could point me in the right direction as you seem to believe you is argument if fool proof.

They are usually slightly crazy and believe in some weird conspiracy . Lockdowns pushed some over the edge

Cotswolds10 · 12/04/2020 19:51

It’s not worth engaging with the fuckwit on here. She’s as thick as pigshit yet thinks she’s smart, a cringeworthy combination. She won’t be capable of understanding why but I’m embarrassed for her.

Crystaltree · 12/04/2020 19:51

You could innocently ask the neighbours if they are trying to 'get it over with'.

sparepantsandtoothbrush · 12/04/2020 19:52

That is kind of a narcissistic way of thinking

Pot kettle black....

I can't believe your arrogance @Amymayapple What an absolutely vile attitude you have towards this. You selfish, foolish idiot. And yes you're going to call me foolish for just doing what I'm told but at least I'm keeping me and my family safe

bettybattenburg · 12/04/2020 19:52

can you explain to me what a troll is - anyone that doesn't agree with you. ? That is kind of a narcissistic way of thinking

Narcissistic is an adjective (do you know what an adjective is ?) meaning having or showing an excessive interest in or admiration of oneself and one's physical appearance.

Perhaps come back when you are old enough to have had a few more English lessons..the end of primary school perhaps ?

MamaBearLockdown · 12/04/2020 19:52

Please report them. Otherwise it means you are supporting them.

Thefaceofboe · 12/04/2020 19:53

I see @Amymayapple has loads of people agreeing with her....

bettybattenburg · 12/04/2020 19:53

She’s as thick as pigshit

You are being far too complimentary,

Abouttoblow · 12/04/2020 19:53

Amymyapple

You might not like thefaceofboe's comment but you have to admit they are right.

Butchyrestingface · 12/04/2020 19:53

Have you always been a cunt or this a recent development ?

It seems to be a recent development. Her earlier posts don't seem to give any hint that she wasn't abiding by the lockdown. 🤷‍♀️

username108 · 12/04/2020 19:55

I'm autistic and have mh issues- I need to see my mum everyday as she is my only support. It's about survival- I wouldn't survive on my own all day everyday. I have nobody else and live alone. I'm sure some busy body will see me coming and going and have a lot to say about me breaking 'the rules', but it's about survival and I wouldn't survive alone everyday. Tough shit, basically.

TheGoogleMum · 12/04/2020 19:55

I would love to see family and friends, but what if I unknowingly had the virus? What if they caught it and died? I know its a lot of what ifs but I am absolutely not wanting to be responsible for the death of someone I love so I'll follow the rules

goldfinchfan · 12/04/2020 19:56

Amymayapple

Can you make sure you sign a DNR so the NHS doesn't waste time with you, after all you are exercising your rights.

sparepantsandtoothbrush · 12/04/2020 19:57

@username108 under these circumstances I don't understand why people don't just spend isolation together in one house. I 100% agree some people need to contact for their mental health but the way to do that would be to live together until this is over

Batshittery · 12/04/2020 19:57

I would ignore the goady poster. They were on quite a few threads yesterday stating that they would not obey the lockdown guidelines and that they are in Ireland which doesn't have such strict rules. Rabble rouser?
In ref to the thread, your neighbours must be idiots

Is there a reason you and your mum couldn't have moved in together before the lockdown?

GoofyLuce · 12/04/2020 19:58

@Amymayapple

I assume you would like treatment for you and your family should you catch corona virus?

How would you feel if you caught it and couldn't get treatment because the hospitals were overloaded?

Would you be okay with that?

I can almost guarantee that you wouldn't be ok with that! But it's people like you who are going cause this problem!

Fuckin idiot!

Thinkingabout1t · 12/04/2020 19:58

Don't let Amymayapple wind you up, people. S/he's trolling.

Thefaceofboe · 12/04/2020 19:59

I lost a friend yesterday morning to suicide, who was struggling and obviously isolation was too much for him. I am heartbroken and thought to myself ‘why has this happened to me?’ But the reality is around 900 families each day are going through the same heartbreak. Yes under different circumstances but heartbreaking all the same. If you can help a family avoid that heartbreak, stay at home.

kimlo · 12/04/2020 19:59

well considering sky news had a report of a neighbourhood "socially distancing" easter egg hunt complete with a bbq and a woman sat in her garden with other pepple saying she was sheilding so sitting talking to people was amazing for her. I don't think people get the rules. And sky news were reporting at how great it was the community was coming together.

Yes they were 2 meters from each other and outside, but they were leaving their houses for something they didn't need to leave their house for and mixing households.

I've seen loads of facebook posts of people celebratong with people they don't live with. And yet everyday the government are praising everyone for following the rules

HostessTrolley · 12/04/2020 20:00

@Amymayapple - I don’t hate you, I pity you. The current lockdown is to save lives. It’s easy to feel that your ‘rights’ take priority while the people dying are just numbers on the news, but you might feel differently if it’s someone close to you, and while you ‘refuse to be controlled’, you’re making that more likely.

SchadenfreudePersonified · 12/04/2020 20:00

It makes it particularly difficult when you are trying to explain to a child why s/he can't see their relatives and friends, when they see that other children aren't avoiding their relatives and friends

You won't be the only one who is annoyed at your neighbours, I'm sure.

And Amymayapple - it is idiots like yourself who will cause this lockdown to be extended both in time and severity. People are dying, nd the spread of virus continues because of entitled half-wits like you.

SueEllenMishke · 12/04/2020 20:00

They're being incredibly selfish as are you amymaypole

My best friend ( who I usually meet every Sunday and haven't for weeks. We're having to make do with virtual contact) is on the NHS frontline. She told me today that she's never seen anything like this. She's scared. I'm scared for her.

But you go about your life like you don't give a shit.
