I don't know about Deutschland, but it stopped here back in May/June. You really are 'out of touch'...with reality, mainly...Originally posted by scooterscot View PostCan hardly complain when the people collectively tell't them to F£$ off back to the EU.
Notwithstanding politics.. one of the NHS Dr's I follow on Youtube confesses most staff now are fatigued, without the adrenaline they had going into the first lockdown. His concern now is they work themselves into the grave whilst the public applaud their efforts outside the front door like it is some sort of badge of honour. Find the applauding to be honest a little weird as do a number of staff - hope it stops. Sister in-law works in the NHS, the opinions seem to be 'we're doing what we're doing because it is necessary' - there's a real out of touch feeling between what I'm hearing from family working in the trenches and those running the country, but I'm sure you all know that.His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...Comment

Can't see that happening now; we're happy to go out on a nice spring evening, but on a cold wet night in November, not so much...Originally posted by scooterscot View PostHoping to preclude a reintroduction during the 2nd lockdown should things turn to the worst.His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...Comment

In our village they're trying to get everyone to get out for remembrance day and do something .... ring a bell, blow a trumpet or something. They've also talked about resurrecting the NHS thing but as you say, folks are less keen now the weather has turnedOriginally posted by Mordac View PostCan't see that happening now; we're happy to go out on a nice spring evening, but on a cold wet night in November, not so much...

Don't worry, that well known journalist, Nigel Farage, will relaunch the Brexit Party as an anti-lockdown party called the Reform Party
Sent from my 5g carrier pigeon“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment
