    This is becoming ridiculous.

    They can have Cheltenham Festival and the totally f***k**g pointless f***k**g Boat Race but people can't sit in their back gardens watching planes fly over .... no doubt they'll find a way for the f***k**g Henley Regatta and f***k**g Glyndebourne to carry on but anything for the plebs has to be cancelled.

    Cheers Boris, nice to see you're looking after the NE mate.

    ( @MrRAWhite ... is this a cake or a meringue? )

    Unfortunately it’s what the British public are happy to accept.

    There has been very little resistance, if any, against the continuous restrictions and lockdowns.

    Most people have been totally supportive of it.

    And I’m afraid, you can’t have it both ways.

    That was during the pandemic. We will be well out of it by the time the air show is due, unless the vaccines fail.

    Have I been following the rules set?

    No.

    I oppose almost all of them and have always been happy to state that.

    I don’t think it would be wise to say on here.

    As you’ve demonstrated in the past, people are more than happy to contact the police.

    Why not, its an anonymous forum ...

    ... no posters have been reported from here.

    You’ve threatened to take posters to court on forums.

    You’ve also contacted the police about potential Covid rules breakers.

    Nothing personally against you, but it’s situations like that, that would prevent me posting certain things on public forums.

    It's not a public forum but never mind.

    Surely, if you believe what you're doing is right you should be as happy to state it as you are to criticise other people for not doing it.

    For the reasons I’ve already said, I wouldn’t be willing to state it.

    Know where you’re coming from mate and I sympathise, it’s power crazy twats controlling the masses!
    Here, in Queensland, because there were a couple of community transmission cases of Covid in greater Brisbane (caused by maladministration and downright incompetence on behalf of the Queensland Govt,) greater Brisbane was locked down for 3 days, but, the whole of Queensland now have to wear masks, other than at home or outdoors, until 15th April, ffs why? - they won’t address that question because the answer is they are power crazy control freaks - masks were never mandatory in all of Queensland during the countrywide lockdown - why now?
    Now, we (Australia) have a travel bubble with New Zealand from the 16th April, and the Federal Government said they were keen to look at opening up travel between Australia and other ‘safe’ destinations, ie Singapore.
    What did our illustrious State Premier say? No Queenslanders if they travel to Singapore will be allowed back or if they are they will be placed in Quarantine at their own cost!
    All about control with these despots.
    Protests are starting around the world, people will not have their rights and freedoms curtailed for much longer I hope.
