To be surprised by DHs vision

[Mydogisagentleman]

Just that.
This morning we were watching Andrew Marr and he said that he could easily see society breaking down to a point where people are killed for being C19 positive.
He is normally a calm rational person, but 10 minutes ago we had a discussion about what he thought COULD happen.
In his mind, Boris Johnson will be overthrown and a new unelected government will set up extermination camps.
His point was culling during foot and mouth and bird flu was effective.

I'm feeling quite down in the dumps but this has cheered me up. He has a very vivid imagination :)

Cheery

Well, whatever helps him get into the Christmas spirit, I guess.

You do realise this is probably happening right now in some other countries.

That seems a bit extreme!

Maybe checkout what company he is keeping and what corners of the Internet he is frequenting...

I can see that being the plot of a film starring Tom Cruise. He should copyright that!

Ofgs.

Er no. Is he normally such a drama llama?

Yeah, I’d be surprised if my DH suddenly revealed he’d gone nuts over breakfast, too, OP.

Is he usually so mental? New low for Covid scaremongering...go on

I'm waiting for the riots and looting to start. A lot of people have nothing to lose.

He is usually calm, reflective and sensitive.
Very well educated and not given to this sort of shit.
He honestly believes it could happen in the UK and said that it’s probably happening somewhere in the world.

That reminds me...

It's a virtual certainty that it's happening elsewhere in the world.

It's simply not going to happen here though.

@RubaiyatOfAnyone dark but accurate

Anyone read World War Z? It's about how different countries/societies/cultures respond to a zombie pandemic (so nothing like the film). The book predicted that North Korea would simply close itself off and refuse to say whether they had any infected, nor how they were dealing with any who were.

People have been saying that since March and, while some have protested, most people have not escalated their frustration beyond loud tutting.

I was expecting a thread about glasses

Actually made me laugh out loud!

Riots and looting I can see especially when Brexshit takes hold
Culling of positive people is quite extreme and not likely.

I think that there will be some form of social shaming/shunning Of people who haven’t been vaccinated this time next year. The curtain twitchers need something to refocus on.

@FourTeaFallOut in the UK, loud tutting by more than one person IS civil unrest.

It could well be happening in North Korea. But this isn't North Korea and the conditions for us to ever be North Korea are not present.

Is your partner well educated?

Stuffed for Xmas.
Very well educated. Oxbridge classics degree.
I think he watches too much crap TV

For a moment I thought you were saying Andrew Marr had said that!!
Is you DH spending too much time online OP?

Me too
