Reply to: Back to herd immunity

Considering that there are about 100 threads on my Nextdoor feed complaining about other people not following social distancing, it's interesting that the people who don't follow it carefully might be rewarded with antibodies first. Maybe the petulent teenagers and ignorant chavs who currently don't care will be let out of isolation first to run the world until the rest of us catch up.

What could possibly go wrong...?

[Whorty]

yep probably, but still think it was the right thing to post. Brexit crap has it's own forum and jeeshh it's toxic.

Edit. Look how quickly the responses under the original post turn into the usual brexit drivel from the usual culprits. Hopefully, they will stop and not kill the thread.

Oy, feck off, I haven't posted any drivel replying to you yet on this thread

[Whorty]

Touchy...

Touché

You chump. I was referring to:



by the resident plastic. Hence the use of 'he' (Paddy) rather than 'you' (as in Woohoo.)

The sentence you quote is grammatically correct, although stylistically clunky, I grant you.

Bring it on, Bruv.

Not to mention those that caught this years 'cold' before the rumpus. Me + Missus included. Given that now she would be considered 'High Risk' not a bad thing.

I can imagine thousands of freelancers holding pox parties so we can get back to work... and I am not joking...

That made perfect grammatical sense. He has just spelled 'were' incorrectly.

You obviously got the wrong kind of Brexit you voted for

What a pity it makes no grammatical sense whatsoever. I thought he was starting to learn, but that particular curve seems to have been flattened...

you where so happy that you managed a full sentence you decided to post it twice.

oh triple winners!

Not like that is news

Interesting stuff, thanks.

Certainly not, we have led the way in propoganda for many years, since the first world war, we led the way in that respect and many countries followed.

There are many differences now, as everything moves so fast and lies and manipulations can easily be uncovered, at least by anyone with half a brain .

Errrrm..... From the article..... Total gravy for these guys.



The article explains how they come up with all the slogans, advise the Prime Minister to look sad when he's talking about the deaths etc. Worth a read!

Steve Jobs And Winston Churchill Didn't Start Out As Great Speakers

In fact, many years earlier when Churchill was 29-years old, he stood up to give a speech in the House of Commons as a newly elected representative and literally froze for three whole minutes. He managed to say a few words, but returned to his seat in despair and covered his head with his hands. He vowed it would never happen again.
Churchill spent years refining his speeches, practicing his delivery, and obsessing about every word choice, substituting longer words for shorter, more impactful ones. He gave hundreds of speeches. By the time he became Prime Minister at the age of 65, Churchill had become a masterful orator, one of the greatest speakers the world has ever known. “The secret of Churchill’s success of a speaker was immense preparation. He wasn’t a natural,” says Johnson.

So they hired people with a good track record i.e. double winners?

Should they have used Camamoron or Magic Grandpa's team?

It will take you, your family or relatives to die before you even consider tracing the possibility back that a bad ill-judged policy could have contributed to those you know dying.

It seems that attitude is prevalent down south. A post-event approach is normal in daily life, but with a pandemic - as the WHO has pointed out - you have to act prior and be defensive, accept you'll make mistakes. It seems people here think this won't happen to them or their loved ones and would defend an inept government to their dying breath.

oh shut up you idiot. Take your nonsense Brexit drivel to the relevant forum.

That wasn't brexit drivel, it was a factual comment on the way misinformation has been used in the past by a collective group of offshoot Tory nutjobs to use public relations and information manipulation to push a narrative that doesn't stand up to scrutiny.

Perhaps for that cause it was damaging to the country but I can't realistically think of anything more serious than a pandemic where the information to the public has to contain certainty and reason. Paddy's comment is completely correct and is justified in this thread.
