Another anti lockdown protest in London, the police will be criticised if they arrest anyone, they cannot win. Why can't people just stay at home, haven't enough people died.

Couldn’t agree more with your posts. Thank goodness I’m not the only one who thinks this way.

Delatron · 20/03/2021 22:49

I’m not sure this thread has gone how the OP wanted!

The tide is turning. Thank goodness.

Good on them.

I agree with the banner I saw "The cure is worse than the disease".
I understand there has been a high death toll but now on top of that otherwise healthy people are being made to suffer financially, physically and mentally. I think the human race is just going to have to accept that we are not going to be able to keep expanding the global population and living longer and longer without nature finding some ways like this to try to keep us in check before we consume all its resources. If prolonging the life of the elderly comes at the expense of the young something has gone wrong.

Mulhollandmagoo · 20/03/2021 23:07

I've seen some pictures and videos floating about on social media, it looked like a good crowd, seemed to remain conflict free and very peaceful, definitely the way to go to get your voice heard

Croleen "think the human race is just going to have to accept that we are not going to be able to keep expanding the global population and living longer and longer without nature finding some ways like this to try to keep us in check before we consume all its resources."

So much this. Also, this long life business isn't helping anyone. You get more attention from the NHS for avoiding stuff than you do with an actual current health problem. Also, when are people going to retire?!

Oh ffs. Have a look at Europe. This is what happens when restrictions are removed too early. 0

It's ridiculous to protest against measures that are keeping us safe. Everyone needs to play their part. We're all frustrated, we're all in the same boat.

@everybodysang

What a load of fucking loons on this thread.
Isn’t there just 😡
LunaHeather · 20/03/2021 23:20

Dowser - the post directly above yours!

Nanny State will keep you"safe"forever, is what some people want.

"Both vaccinated and no airport hold ups I see no problem"

Posted on the Charles and Camilla going to Greece thread. I thought the vaccine doesnt 100% guarantee no transmission. Or is it different when it is injected into blue blood.
THIS is part of the problem. The mental gymnastics!

MercyBooth · 20/03/2021 23:28

Oh and those who wax lyrical about long Covid but are dismissive when people with certain illnesses and disabilities cant wear masks.......you might think long Covid is the only long term post viral syndrome that counts NOW. But that is while the Government is happy to use you yes USE YOU to scare and emotionally blackmail others. The real litmus test will come when you have to apply for disability benefits. And when you are told NO you will want help and support from the very people you denigrated for not being able to wear masks.

I wonderhow those with ME feel now after years of being told its all in their minds.

You seriously don’t believe we are all in the same boat I’m not in the same boat as someone whose lost their income, stuck in a flat with young children and no outdoor space Same as I’m not in the same boat as the Simon Cowell , Robbie wiilams and Cliff richards of this world who jetted off to their second homes or could afford to stay longer in their holiday retreat. To think we are all in the same boat is incredibly naive.
MLMsuperfan · 20/03/2021 23:33

We all need to play our part. If we work together, we can beat it.

@MLMsuperfan Well that’s very noble of you

I don’t need anyone to keep me safe, I’ll keep myself safe
I’m looking out for myself and my family.
That’s the bottom line.

I expect everyone else to do the same

MercyBooth · 20/03/2021 23:37

@MLMsuperfan March 2020 called It wants its post back!

I think someone has drank too much gin..and it’s not me
Just another wind up merchant
Well they’ve had their fun for tonight
I’m off to bed.
No offence taken

I know what I’ll be doing
Out and about as usual
See a few friends, invite some over for Sunday dinner
Just normal stuff as per usual

Dowser · 20/03/2021 23:42

Ps..see you all at a stand in the park tomorrow
At 10
Don’t forget , if there isn’t one near you
Start your own!

GeorgiaMelissa · 20/03/2021 23:45

I hope everyone supporting extended lockdowns, removal of their fundamental rights like right to protest, vaccine passports and government's uncontrolled power will get what they wish for.
I really do. There's already a place where you can be safe and protected at the expense of the government and it's called PRISON. You can go there anytime.

Wait till XR realize that longer thickened hair that hasnt been cut for months takes a sight more water to rinse.
