Every single word of that post of mine you replied to here was a fact.

It's an absolute, undeniable fact that an anagram of Omicrom is Moronic. And the definition I gave of the word moronic is an absolute, undeniable fact.

So what was the real reason in that post that really triggered you and made you get snipey? I get the feeling it was because I was mocking your cult religion and you didn't like it.

On Monday night when I refuse to put a muzzle on to get on the bus does that mean I won't be able to go to work? I have to get the bus, I work out of town.

Is it OK for me to be discriminated against but not others? Or are you so called "lefties" gonna stand up for my rights?

Prove to me that you're not full of bull****, this is your real opportunity to take a stand when it really matters.

I won't be bullied when my freedoms are being taken away, too many good working class people lost their lives for that cause, I owe it to them and the people of the future's to stand my ground.

The chances I have a bus driver on my side are very high, but there's always the chance I get a jobsworth.

given that school kids are the biggest driver of infections at the moment from all the relevant data, why arent they making masks mandatory in schools? Doesn't make sense

I never stopped wearing a mask in the supermarket....so its no big deal for me. Also, now its bloody cold, its another layer to keep warm

I'd rather wear a face mask than an oxygen mask if I caught it

When we returned after half term ... Masks were mandatory at our HighSchool (in corridors) but as I said whilst the majority ( about 90%) complied for the first day or so after about two days hardly any of the students were wearing masks even though the staff were .

Guess they decided that we couldn't punish 1200 of them ...

i'm not a mask fan, but i always wear one in public indoor settings. It's being considerate to others .... simple as that

I find it mildly irksome when you copy things over from other sites you’re on (American ones) and try to play them off like you came up with them yourself (i.e. the “Moronic” anagram) and I was pointing out that conspiracy sites do this all the time - find “meaning” in anagrams and numerological “patterns” that actually mean nothing. You can continue to pretend that you “noticed the clever anagram yourself” and didn’t just copy it from elsewhere, but I’ll have to continue to ask you to pull the other one .

The very strange irony is you suggesting that I have a “cult religion” for you to mock when I’m pretty sure the “other parts of the internet” you copied this from will almost certainly be Trump Messiah sites or Social Media accounts.

Well done Colombo. You worked it out again.

The point of my post was there was no point to it, I was just mentioning that Moronic was an anagram of the new varient, because yes, I'd seen it on Twitter. Your reaction to that was the strange part. It seemed to trigger a reaction in you that you needed to respond with a personal attack on me.

So I asked you the reason for that sudden outburst towards me, my guess was that it was because I was mocking your new cult religion, but as usual you avoided that question. Seriously, think hard about what brought out that reaction in you from something so minute which meant nothing.

I payed for a weekly ticket which runs out on Wednesday. Those mandates were not in place when I payed for my ticket. They took my money off me for that ticket to ride on their buses maskless.

I will film them for court evidence if they don't allow me on.

I'm supporting the rights of the vulnerable, immuno suppressed, young, old and basically people who want to reduce their risk of catching pr transmitting covid. Not quite sure what freedoms are being removed asking people to cover their faces in crowded areas.....are you that beautiful that to cover your face will cause distress? As I said in a previous post, I'm sure if you caught it and were hospitalised you would not refuse to wear an oxygen mask?

OK, they can ask, and I politely decline, what now? Can we just go on as normal like we have done for the past 43 years of my life?
