Have we as a nation become that dumb

That it needs explaining that certain programmes were made before social distancing was in place ?
Would people really complain about this
Is it just me that can use common sense ?

They do it just to cover themselves so it’s clear they’re following the guidelines, and also regardless of the fact most people will figure it out themselves - there will still be people who write in to complain. People absolutely love to complain.

BBC Countryfile had to explain over and over, the people who run their Twitter feed are very very patient. People are really that dense. Actually, I think it's form of virtue signalling to show how good they are to point out how bad the journalists/presenters on the programme are.

I read an article yesterday claiming the Advertising Standards Authority would uphold complaints about adverts which don't show social distancing. Really? So if you made an ad two months ago you can't show it anymore? If so, the ASA doesn't have enough to do.

Haven't people thought that soap plotlines were real?

People really are that dumb!

Yes, some people are apparently that thick. They would get complaints if they didn't do a disclaimer beforehand.

This Morning apparently get complaints that Eamon and Ruth sit close to each other despite the fact that it's well known that they're married therefore live in the same house.

Have you read MN at all?

Yes, some people are just that dumb.
