I really don’t get this over zealous policing. If I want to have a walk down to the park, on my own, and sit down on the grass, on my own, reading the ****ing newspaper...ON MY OWN....what the **** is wrong with that ?
I work 12 hour shifts, I get stressed and being in with the kids all day on my days off would send me stress levels through the roof.
I’d like to hope that most po-po would take a sensible approach....but would hazard a guess that some won’t.

The Brockwell Park problem is more to do with the area and a long history of confrontation with the police. It's a shame as it's a lovely park but some of the arseholes in the area thrive on pushing it to the limit...

Yeah totally get that and can see why it might cause problems....groups of lads.....social area etc....but still stick to the believe that an old fella down my local rec really isn’t justified to be moved on.

Just had a long conversation with my lad who is po-po and let’s just say we disagreed in our views ;)

I'm amazed by the number of friends who've sounded shocked that I've been out...several even said I should be staying in!
I've said that I will go out for twice as long tomorrow if they're staying :emoticon-0102-bigsm

There are many across Soshul Meeja having a pop at others for daring to go out in what was until recently a free society. It's amazing how many people are prepared to accept house arrest, subjugation and a police state willingly.

It's madness. I will go out as much as I choose.

Here's an idea, though. When you go out of your house, you turn left. If you want to go in the opposite direction, you have to cross the road. The idea being that everyone's walking in the same direction so that no one can sneeze in your face.

Prison sentences for those that disobey.

I think every other person should be walking on their hands. It will make introductions interesting.

I'm very sorry to hear about the loss of your aunt, Strolls. I lost an 89-year old aunt in February, but managed to attend her cremation, thankfully. That event was the last time I saw my Uncle B. who's (hopefully) recovering from the dreaded lurgy now.

Thanks mate.

Here's an idea: how about having a government spokesman presenting the UK daily death figures on TV every day from now on until the end of time?

Failing that, during every future annual flu season let's have presentations on the daily flu death figure, but differentiating between those dying due to the flu virus and those dying with the flu virus.

Well, if they choose to accept isolation rather than distancing, that’s their call. In a western democratic so called ‘free’ society they also have the right to whine about you going out. But not to stop you going out. Has anyone stopped you going out?

I don’t feel anyone is stopping me from going out just about as often as I want, and as this is the only social media that I do I’m not getting any criticism for it. As it is I take a stroll twice a day, once in daylight combined when necessary with a trip to a shop, and once at 9-10 in the evening, when we rarely see anybody else. Social distancing outside is no problem at all, even if other people are being twats, and I have conditioned myself not to expect anyone else to move so I am always prepared to.

Going into shops is a different matter, that is irritating.

Some wallies mouthing off on social media is the least of our problems. If you think there is a conspiracy to rob you of various liberties sign Woody’s petition.

I don't think a petition's going to cut it against the current legislation. The world's gone ****ing mad.

Whoah there, Big Boy, hold your horses!

"There are many across Soshul Meeja having a pop at others for daring to go out in what was until recently a free society. It's amazing how many people are prepared to accept house arrest, subjugation and a police state willingly."

Across the very few soshul meeja platforms wot I look at there are loads of people very much 'on message' about staying at home to save lives. Many are supporting that twat Piers Morgan who rather dramatically described a few people keeping more than 2 metres apart in the London parks today as 'traitors'. Yes, really.

Quite a few people saying hard cheese to those stuck in high-rise flats and criticising them for wanting to lie on the grass and get a few rays.

Yes, these 'wallies' are irritating twats in my humble opinion but, don't fret, I haven't ranked them any higher in Stan's List of The Universe's Current Problems than they need be.

No, I don't think there's a conspiracy to rob me of various liberties. I am just with the (possibly) growing number that believe time will show that the measures taken to be disproportionate*

[*No, I am not trivialising the deaths etc.]

Sorry Woody what was I suppose to read. I only come on here in afternoons now, as I am trying very hard to get exercise by digging the garden!

So a few points, it is a bit worrying today
1. Watford general saying they are full
2. The care home in Scotland where 13 people died
3. The fact UK is ACTUALLY HAS TRULY STUPID PEOPLE...burning down 5G masts and electricity pylons (because they can't tell the difference, they all look alike...sorry was that racist).
4. Our death rate has increased again, but actually not quite as much as expected for about the 3rd day running.
5. My friend with the sceptic leg still has not been treated

On a lighter note:-
I agree with Stan
1 Ferguson of IC is an idiot, was he also the one that said we would all get Mad Cow Disease and provoked a panic then too Not sure that was him, but it definately came from Imperial
2. Really missing live music. I have already missed 2 festivals and 4 gigs. Live gigs don't really cut it, my broadband is just not good enough.


Anyway off for a short break to Bruges tomorrow, no hang on that was cancelled last week.
So I will be back tomorrow...but off to watch QPR play Middlesborough on e-sport now

Come on you superhooopsa

Today's totals are
89 new cases
1039 in total
156 recovered
15 in hospital
3 in icu
2 very serious
Still just the one death so far


They have started to run out of things to brief us about so now we are getting ethnic breakdowns
74 per cent are white
8 per cent asian
7 per cent maori

Sounds like the old bill are going to get new powers

One moron posted a video of himself in a supermarket coughing on people
He is appearing in court tomorrow on a charge of endangering life
Would have been his own had he done it to me

I got the same sort of thing with Barclays. It's taken a hit, but I would only spend the money if I didn't do it.
