If I can flout it, then I fucking well will!

I wouldn't intentionally flout the rules but you can be damn sure if my parents come to visit me dp and 3dc I'm not making one of them wait in the car because that's batshit.
However I wouldn't attend an illegal party etc.
I dont know what the answer is but on the bottom of your message can we add fuck Cummings get him arrested he broke the rules first.

@NiceLegsShameAboutTheFace
I just wanted to say I'm sorry you are struggling so much, hang in there!

Wtf has Corbyn got to do with it?

He’s not in Parliament. Boris is. Boris is responsible for this mess.

Boris is responsible for many things, but not the virus. No government could have handled this in a way everyone would be happy with. I know there’s been a lot of flip flopping, which is crap, but half the problem is citizens refusing to cooperate with reasonable measures.

You are so cool. I aspire to be like you.

x2boys · 21/10/2020 10:39

You think the rest of us are coping with it? I'm in Bolton we only came out of extra restrictions which were effectively tier three restrictions two weeks ago and now we are going back into them ,my son has already self isolated from school because of positive cases , I have a severely disabled child and we can't go anywhere or do anything everybody's mental health is being affected ,but people just doing what the want is why we are in this situation , Bolton's rates are the highest they have ever been .

@NiceLegsShameAboutTheFace

But will follow the rules to protect others and myself

You're a better person than I am. I simply can't do this anymore!

Yes you can, don’t give up.
Allgreyeverything · 21/10/2020 10:41

I have lost my business, income, my whole life is a joke right now. I have been depressed since April, something I have never experienced in my life before. I can’t sleep at night and just exist day by day. I have fantasised about suicide. Naaah, i’m long gone done with observing any rules. Stick them where the sun doesn’t shine.

Youandmeareluckytobeus · 21/10/2020 10:42

On the bright side, at least you are self-aware.

TheEmojiFormerlyKnownAsPrince · 21/10/2020 10:42

I didn’t say Boris was responsible for the virus. But he is responsible for the crap measures to control it. And then wants to shove a no deal Brexit onto an already wrecked economy.

OP entitled people like YOU are the problem not the Government

WhatATimeToBeAlive · 21/10/2020 10:43

And this is why places have gone into Tier 3 because idiots think the rules don't apply to them. The Government was relying on the British people to be sensible and use common sense, that was their biggest mistake.

MeepyMupp · 21/10/2020 10:43

Yeah, because the world rotates around you OP Hmm ... it's affecting us all and I feel for everyone due to this pandemic but flouting things because it suits you and you don't give a crap about anyone else isn't going to help. You sound about 12.

NiceLegsShameAboutTheFace · 21/10/2020 10:45

OP entitled people like YOU are the problem not the Government

I'm sorry. But .... if you knew me, you'd absolutely know that I am in no way entitled. I'm frail and struggling to cope - for the very first time in life. It's something that I haven't experienced before.

OP posts:
Michaelschofield · 21/10/2020 10:46

I’m with you OP. Anyone who still thinks the government has their best interests at heart needs to bloody wake up. This is not about a virus it’s about control. The more we obey the more rules we will have.
Please apply critical thinking to this mess.

MinnieMD · 21/10/2020 10:46

Up here in Scotland I’m waiting for our no doubt even more complicated tier system.
We keep hearing here that those not following guidance are to blame for the rise in cases which doesn’t really make sense considering most cases seem to be coming from health care environments such as hospitals and care homes.

Sirzy · 21/10/2020 10:47

It’s a shit time but the more people who decide the rules don’t apply to them the longer we all have to suffer. Don’t be selfish and play your part

NiceLegsShameAboutTheFace · 21/10/2020 10:47

@Allgreyeverything

Hugs for you. And thank you ..... just for making me realise that I'm not alone.

Funnily enough, I have. To the letter. Until now.

TheEmojiFormerlyKnownAsPrince · 21/10/2020 10:48

But all of us are frail. I’m off sick with anxiety. Your attitude is exactly what makes me worse.

Why does your anxiety trump mine?

GalesThisMorning · 21/10/2020 10:48

Yay. Let's all flout, flout, flout, flout flout. Fuck em all. Let's keep flouting until schools are forced to close again. That'll teach em!!

Ffs OP. I'm in Wales, we're past tier 3 and back into stay home to save lives. I will be well pissed off with knob heads who can't think past their own discomfort, keep the virus circulating, and make my child miss even more school.

Grow up

GirlCrush · 21/10/2020 10:49

fabulous....so we will all suffer for the selfish actions of those trying to be all heroic....'i'm flouting the rules'

and when you spread covid to others what then? bothered?

Sirzy · 21/10/2020 10:49

Well if you want to see this situation end then carry on.

We are all sick of it. We have all had enough. My mental health is even worse than normal. I have a child who can’t access much needed medical care so I make no apologise for getting angry and people who think the rules don’t apply to them

Badgerbadger22 · 21/10/2020 10:50

OP thinks that swearing & bragging on Mumsnet will give her attention and that people will think she’s cool.

Maybe OP is a child? Definitely sounds like one

SaltyAndFresh · 21/10/2020 10:50

Have some consideration for those of us who have to go out to work in this situation, OP. I mean, you might be one but there are are many of us who are shit scared of passing this on to our parents.

TrickorTreacle · 21/10/2020 10:51

I highly doubt the Tory boys will read your read, OP.

The Daily Mail might pick up on it though.
