Feel free to fill in the missing words.

Enough of people thinking that 'support bubbles are allowed' is an answer to everyone who hasn't got meaningful support.

Enough of the phrase Lockdown Lover.
Lockdown is shit for everyone. I hate it but can see why it's necessary. That does not make me a Lockdown zealot.

@ddl1

ENOUGH of the idea that everyone is either Vulnerable or Invulnerable, Old or Young, with nothing in between. At least our existence is recognized by the vaccine planners (Phase 2 priority groups), but the idea that the Invulnerable Young are sacrificing themselves for people already at death's door, or that only a few hundred people have died 'under 50 with no underlying health problems' so the deaths of the rest don't matter. When 40% of the population have some sort of underlying health problem!

ENOUGH of the related idea that those who don't actually die can't have serious negative consequences. Many people are seriously ill; cannot work for long periods; may have to spend significant periods in ITU. Long Covid can affect anyone - the most severely affected person I know is 15 without known pre-existing conditions.

ENOUGH of the cuts and emphasis on 'efficiency' (i.e. doing things with as few staff as possible) which has decreased the UK's ability to cope, both medically and economically.

ENOUGH of the smugness of certain people who think that the pandemic and lockdown have taught useful lessons in evaluating one's life and what's important and becoming more 'creative' and 'resilient', etc. Tell that to someone whose relative has died; to a 'shielder' who hasn't been outdoors for nearly a year; to someone who's lost their job and livelihood and maybe even their home; to a 'key worker' under intolerable stress and often also high risk of Covid; to someone whose marriage has broken down; to someone trapped for months with an abusive partner or parent ... etc. etc,

Exactly...and well expressed.

Enough of people thinking that one generation have struggled more than another. It’s no fun for anyone and people in all generations have struggled in different ways whether they are children through to the elderly.

Absolutely

Enough of the "Holier than thou" types who boast about "all the things they've done for others" in an attempt to shame you because they think you're selfish (while having NO IDEA about what's going on in your life) Judgmental bastards!!

Enough of angry people who are ranting and raging to people whose mental health can't take any more- (bleeding on people who didn't cut them is never a good move). They need to find a way to find peace- either talk to a therapist or a priest. Ranting at people who cannot fix it is only going to wreck relationships, so it's time to find new ways of coping.

Enough of people assuming how other people feel. We do not all feel the same. I can assure you that some people are enjoying the break from toxic people and do not want things to go back to how they were.

Enough of the trite messages on the buses:

"Stay SAFE. Keep others SAFE. Use hand sanitiser and keep windows open for ventilation. Wear face coverings over your nose and mouth at all times unless you are exempt and remember not all disabilities are visible. Thank you."

I get to hear this 8 times a day. Twice per bus journey 😂😂😂

Enough of Argos having a shit website with multiple pop ups, long loading times and when they actually let you get to the checkout and pay the arsing items are out of stock.

Agreed. It's pathetic

Enough of not being able to go out and meet new people. I've been single for too long and want a boyfriend, dammit!

Exactly. ENOUGH of the generational warfare when our actual enemy is the VIRUS.

Older people are not a bunch spoilt Boomers who want younger people to sacrifice for them, when they themselves had a charmed life; nor are they all at death's door already. I entirely agree that modern medicine sometimes keeps people suffering long-term, and I support the right to assisted dying; but that's not a reason for throwing older people to the wolves in a pandemic.

Younger people are not a bunch of spoilt Millennials, who have obviously caused the pandemic by an insistence on partying, and whose whole problem is that they've had things too easy and never been forced to learn Resilience. The word 'resilience' gets so misused that I sometimes feel that if I never hear that word again it will be too soon!

Butmiss · 19/02/2021 18:09

@WildOrchids67 I feel for you! Many of my friends feel the same and just want to get on the dating scene again.
