We’re going to lose everything..

[Worriednow77]

Are we going to end up with nothing, as a country? No businesses will be left and where will the money come from to fund us all?
Wuhan and other countries look practically back to normal, with no vaccine. Why are we having the vaccine but also being told social distancing etc won’t end? What’s the point?! What’s the plan...I feel like we’re all just drifting into something

I agree that certain sectors are suffering but these are probably the ones who haven’t moved with the times anyway. Other sectors have flourished.

What a load of shit. It sounds like your head is firmly lodged up your own arse.

@ChristmasUserName2020 "The MOD and NHS have moved with the times" - Best laugh of the year. Especially the MOD - even in stuffy civil service circles, the MOD is still seen as stuck in the "ministry of war" days of the 50s.

What you mean is you are lucky enough to have jobs and employers that enable you to work at home. Bully for you.

Blitz spirit, if you like (I.e. the country forgot about its own poverty and helped shelter refugees from all over Europe who had been displaced by the Nazi regime)

Not without a lot of protest and howls of rage from the Daily Mail. The reason the Kindertransport happened because little children were easier to feel sorry for (especially as the foster families had to stump up fifty kid to guarantee/show they'd be sent back in a couple of months) - and that meant the parents were left behind, not because they couldn't be taken, but because they weren't wanted. It stopped the moment war was declared. Polish men came here and were accepted because they were here to enlist and fight.

And don't forget that whilst the poorest may have got better access to food compared to pre war, they didn't 'forget' about poverty. Crime rates were also very high - there is a reason why looting was punishable by death.

It was not the joyful joining of hearts and minds that people would like to portray. Hence why the Welfare State was created afterwards - because they recognised that poverty/hunger/sickness were the greatest fuel for civil unrest and revolution. (with a side order of wanting to make sure the population was healthy enough to be able to be conscripted in the event of the next war).

Dd has moved with the times. She was in hospitality. The Big one off events type stuff.

She also had 5 other jobs but in a roundabout way they were all connected to various industries that have fallen foul of Covid regulations.

She has been picking up work here and there since March.
She got a Christmas job for 4 weeks work Except because of lockdown it didn’t start till 2nd December so ended up with 3 weeks. She was then was sent home to isolate for 14 days because she was 15 feet away from someone who tested positive for Covid. Both dd and this person were wearing masks and visors.

Tell me how you move with the times? What exactly are people supposed to do.
Get a nice little office jobs so we can all work from home and look down our noses on people who take jobs that have them interacting with other people
