Morrisons making disabled people wear yellow stickers to prove they are exempt from wearing a mask. That's fucking horrific.

Which other group in history had to wear a badge to identify themselves....?

I am using Lent as an opportunity to get myself back on the straight and narrow - was doing well with January in terms of yoga, mindfulness, cutting back a bit on drink, etc and then my dad died unexpectedly three months after my mum died and everything went a bit haywire...

Discussed with DH last night though this actual-holy approach (which had appeared on my FB feed) and advised him that there was no way in the current circumstances I could possibly take any of them on and giving up chocolates and sweeties would have to do.

Hi all. Too fed up to even rail recently but NS takes the custard cream today. Trumpeting drop in care home covid deaths (success of vaxx dontcha know) while ignoring the fact that excess deaths at home made up the entirety of excess deaths for the week.

Excess deaths are 146 rather than Covid deaths of 323. Kinda weird that Covid deaths are now 50:50 male:female especially given the implied fall in age range from "vaccine effect".

Can't even read the BBC summary now without exploding. It's just verbatim propaganda (applies equally to UK Govt briefings).

Some folk really need to read some history books.

@IsurviveonCoffeeandWinein2021 thank you!

sturmandcalm absolutely, booze it is! I may be a slightly better person potentially when the younger one goes back on Monday, we'll see.

StatisticallyChallenged · 17/02/2021 15:58

I'll give up booze, I can do that

littlbrowndog · 17/02/2021 16:13

Omg that is a shocking thing to do to disabled people

How dare they

Dehumanising

And yes they should read their history books

anon444877 · 17/02/2021 16:13

GrinIt's day 1, could be a long evening, the kids are fighting.

jabbathebutt · 17/02/2021 16:17

There's arseholes on twitter saying if you can't wear a mask, stay at home or get your shopping delivered or get a relative to do it.

yeah, that's exactly what I have been doing, for the past year, how much longer does it go on? I'd like my independence back thank you very much.

But as long as everyone else is okay eh?

littlbrowndog · 17/02/2021 16:17

Just signed the petition

anon444877 · 17/02/2021 16:19

They are arseholes - my mum is exempt from a mask and she's had random imbeciles have a go at her over it in the supermarket twice so far and she's got a sunflower lanyard which she wears even though she shouldn't have to.

OldRailer · 17/02/2021 16:21

My condolences Sturmundcalm.

hilbil21 · 17/02/2021 16:24

Is the sticker thing the same for disabled children? At the moment I put a sunflower lanyard on my autistic son when we go. I have to take him at least half the year, as husband works offshore (as much as with recent homeschooling I would have loved to have left him in the house lol)

Bwahahaha! This thread is thriving on all those things we should be fasting from. The pope must be reading us with his head in his hands.

jabba That is absolutely disgusting! Who TF in the Morrisons meeting where they discussed how to encourage everyone who can wear a face cover to do so, thought that was acceptable? Flowers for you having to put up with this shit all the time.

I've signed that anon. My anger is evidently back to "signing petitions" level.

OldRailer · 17/02/2021 16:28

I was thinking Pope Francis would not approve of railing.

The fuck ????

I’ll bet there is some folk foaming over this, and what a fantastic job Morrison’s are doing and why don’t the other supermarkets follow...
I actually had to refrain from commenting on a local paper’s fb article a few weeks back re Morrison’s not allowing anyone in without a mask. Some folk are just pig ignorant to the fact people have difficulties wearing them.

ssd · 17/02/2021 16:52

That's good Wax, I'm sure they will let him off, he can't miss lectures just now. The travel thing they will probably class as essential but missing course work isnt on.

Took my dd to the Range today after weeks of her hounding me. Cheered her right up.

The range is where my feature wallpaper that I want is from. May drag Dh tomorrow.

Saw this survey on the anti d thread. You don’t have to put in any personal details. It’s about what sort of COVID lockdown person you are

I am a rebel !!
