I'm surprised BoJo even has any supporters at this point.

It’s honestly so so embarrassing reading this thread and the same clowns saying “well they’re doing the best they could x”

Honestly, I doubt there's anything that could change their minds. The right wing has a way of attracting cult like followings. We see it in America with Trump supporters and the GOP in general, and you see it here with the Tories.

Boris could go around stabbing people's nans and they'd still cheer him on by making out that at least it's not Labour doing the stabbing. It's insane, it's infuriating.

You said it yourself - nothing much is gonna change their minds, and the emotional labour of banging the same drum over and over -which they've probably heard elsewhere, also over and over- does neither of you any good.

Take the world off your shoulders, you'll be happier for it.

agree so much there

i mean for some it will be a different christmas than normal, but everyone should also just try to relax and not focus on the news solely those few days, stay at home of course, but there are enough fun christmassy distractions on tv, streaming services are filled with great festive movies (Netflix for one has a bunch of older christmas movies acquired, and also few newer christmas movies)


ChristmasFromHome is a nice way to call it


let christmas feeling take our stress away these few days

I think Boris and government are doing their best.

It is not possible to prevent this pandemic as British people are not the sort to follow instructions (it’s not like China/Asian countries that blindlessly follow their leaders.. and in most cases (bar a global pandemic) it’s a good thing.

If you keep shouting at the television the only thing that will happen is you will lose your voice to a sore throat.

Except that can and does often work the other way too.

As I do when I see yet another defence of any indefensible incompetent action or non action by those with the power to enact said action.

Why should Dezzy however have to be expected to close down just to please extreme hard-line Tory supporters when they all dive in to support even dangerous action by their government.

Yes, they may never obviously change their stance.
However by the same token, WHY should others just leave unsaid what they think ought to be to point that out?
Just to suit them.

If people don't like what they see posted, then don't read it.
I eventually learned last year to watch myself carefully on here as to some, and not to respond much or at all to some because I'd find it impossible to likely reason with them.

There's even those I wouldn't even bother to read what they say, as I know what will be being spouted off by them.
Just as many on here will do with my posting, particularly on this rotten government.

However as long as I'm a member and permitted to be, I'm not going to shut up to please hard-line Tories.
Otherwise this is then no longer a forum.

none of us should underestimate the deep frustration that the majority of the world population is experiencing this YEAR. It's unprecedented, and we all have to have an outlet for it. A friendly argument on a public forum seems an ideal way to manage that I think

Before we were wearing visors and snoods.
But they changed it to disposable masks.
It takes some getting used to.
