Pubs Opening Back Up !

So is anybody on here planning on going this weekend ?
Obvs not Fosse coz Lesta is full of dipsticks that cant behave themselves .

 

Nah mate. Sounds ****.
My idea of a good time in a pub does not involve social distancing or good hygiene

 

Imagine how much stale, sat about for months ale will be consumed this weekend.

You’re a bell end if you’re queuing up to get into an alehouse this Saturday imo.

 

Why dont you just give us it straight

 

Having spent so long in lockdown and enforced self isolation, I've no intention of going anywhere near a pub on Saturday. I think it's an utterly fooking stupid idea to open the pubs after so long, on a weekend! Just so my mate Boris can celebrate independence day ffs

I will observe from a distance how all this pans out, then maybe eventually chose a weekday, to have a QUIET pint at my local when the time is right.

 

Looking forward to a haircut more.

Will avoid this weekend, and the following I'll be on call so will be the one after for me, for a nice meal Sunday lunchtime meal in the sun. Hopefully.

 

No won't go near a pub for ages.

 

Yeah I'm gonna go to the beer gardens but not inside .
I've had a few bike rides with a back pack full of beer so look forward to getting served outside .

 

Bunch of ****ing lightweights, no wonder the country is gone to ****.


My best bet is you'll all be ****faced by 4.00pm on Saturday anyway. On shandies, probably. Craft ale ****ers

 

It's like you can see the future.

 

Open up the pubs and Maccy D's, but keep Gyms, Swimming pools and leisure centres closed

No wonder England is full of fat ****s with diabetes and heart disease.

 

Kids can't play/train for football and cricket either.

Brilliant way of going about things.

Get those priorities right, English man must go to the pub.

 

Boris made it clear that the economy comes first.

Just keep washing your hands, drink 10 pints and spend your money on some sweatshop **** you don't need in Primark.

 

I'm on board with bringing the economy back in line, it's just the bizarre omissions I don't get.

Professional sport, tick.

Juniors and mini sport. In a field. With no one around. No crowds. At all.

No.

 

Yeah the economy is important, the best way to stimulate it would be to pay UBI, but that's another argument.

But yes, the inconsistencies are bizarre and the priorities are all wrong imo.

Shows that the economy is built on selling **** to people that they don't need.

 

Go out and buy some crap, it’s your patriotic duty

 

The whole system of consumption to stimulate economic growth is completely ****ed.

We're pumping out Co2, the Arctic is on fire and Ocean eco systems are on the brink of collapse and yet the only thing our leaders can come up with is 'buy more ****' as they panic about a doomed capitalist system crumbling around them.

Folk need to learn to live with what constitutes as having enough, and that doesn't mean buying new TV's, Sofas and cheap fashion every few weeks. If people think Covid was a shock to the system, the impending ecological collapse from climate change is going to make it look like a walk in the park.

 

Yeah, definitely. We’ve been given an opportunity here to rethink the way we live.

A mate of mine suggested right at the beginning of lockdown, that we should do this every year; not hide in our houses, but shut all the factories for a month, ground the planes, keep the ships in dock - just for a month or two a year, to give the planet a chance to breath.

We can’t afford to go on as we were, worshipping the dollar and chasing endless economic growth. But we probably will.

 

It's the only thing that's kept the elite in power; their ability to control the wealth and therefore all the decision making that goes with it.

The system is doomed. It's based on debt and the subsequent need to produce more and more **** for consumption to keep the economy and jobs afloat. And with it comes massive Co2 emissions from Air, Shipping, Factories, power plants (although increasingly being phased out) Trucks and cars, excessive water use in the fashion industry, forests (carbon sinks) chopped down to make way for pasture for meat and to grow crops to feed animals, which again in turn all adds more Co2 into the atmosphere.

The leaders of this world, politicians, bankers and financiers don't know any other way to do this as the alternative means giving up almost everything that they exist for. There is an alternative of course, but most people's lives are so far removed from this that it would come as massive shock to them. It's coming anyway, so we'd be better off preparing for it rather than pursuing this doomed capitalist consumption model.

 

I've been in my local pretty much every evening since this lot started, bar a week when the landlord was off sick. Cans and quizzes. Might not bother when it actually reopens. Too many dickheads
