I don't give a monkey's about them. The choices are:

1) Get food from local and infect dozens of others.

2) Ask someone to get the food for me.

It does seem extraordinary selfish.

I read a report of a pensioner being told off for buying seven bananas. Good job it wasn't a bunch of grapes.

Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

TBF to them, what choice do they have? can't get a home delivery for love nor money in our area. Only way to get any food is to go to the local supermarket. Wife and I told to self isolate, yet we have to eat so have to go to Waitrose once a week.

It's all well and good BoJo and his pals saying those in self isolation will be able to get food delivered, but the reality is far from that simple.

Huh? All I see on the internet is people falling all over themselves to deliver food to the vulnerable. There's Nextdoor groups and whatsapp groups and FaceBook groups and on and on. We even got a letter pushed through our mailbox offering to go to the shops.

I've never heard of anyone actually receiving this service though, I think it's a bunch of people who want to brag about it to others and then get special priority down at the shops. "I'm shopping for the vulnerable, front of the line for me!"
