Or for all I know maybe most of our protestors are doing it outside, and ARE distancing generally speaking? I haven't seen photos.

    you been telling the wife that this <-> is 2 metres again?








    of course they all travelled there as well.

    Its reasonable to suggest they are likely to be spreading COVID 19.

    I don't see why with all these people furloughed why I should have to put my wheelie bin out at all. It makes economic sense for them to do my menial work whilst I support the country by working and paying taxes.

    Hopefully the Police will find them more easily if the roads are empty. They seem to have been doing quite well with county lines.

    Who cares what they do on farcebook and twatter? Though it does seem people aren't 'doing it right' for the TwitterNazis.

    It seems to offend the professional offence takers, so it's not all bad.

    Yeah - but Yanks are really good at it. My daughter was discussing racism in the US with a fellow student. She said a few things the other student didn't like about virtue signalling etc., so he told her to check her "white privilege".

    She then pointed out to him that she isn't white.
