Thanks for your input.

Maybe Boosted has realised his website is fked for a while and wants to take out his frustration by being the 'Rebel without a clue'

Probably started whinging when he was told he couldn't buy more than 3 pies at the shop as well.

How clear does it have to be:

Stay at Home unless it is essential to leave the house.
Do not undertake non essential journeys.

So, fancying going for a bit of a drive fits into which of the above exactly?

Really, it is remarkable how many utter self-entitled plums spend their time working out loopholes to the most urgent request the Nation has had to fulfil in years as a collective effort to try to prevent this country descending into the same state as Italy, Spain etc.

It also appears you cannot reason with these fools, as they all know best and couldn’t give two fks about the impact their actions may have on other people, given the carefully calculated infinitesimal risk that they are so expertly positioned to assess.

I despair, I really do.

I've had to go to the supermarket (several) every day this week to look for loo roll, I'd far sooner be tucked up in my car than going near anyone else at a f*cking supermarket, and I'm in the highest risk category being insulin dependent diabetic.

But for some reason it's fine to drive to several supermarkets every day than go out for a run for my own mental health once in a while.

Staying at home there are still risks, we all know the stats on injuries in the home, I've been up and down ladders all week painting...…...should I stop...…..I been using using power tools...….should I stop?. Doing some electrics...…….should I stop?...……... handling shopping...…...should I stop?...…...taking deliveries of parcels...…..should I stop?...…...putting out the bins...........should I stop that?......….sitting on benches, touching railings...……….should I stop? etc etc etc

All these are risks of simply being at home, yet there are many millions all doing these many times a day

^ lol, your funny. If I sit by a lake or in a wood for hours on end there's no risk of transmission. I'm allowed to exercise, ride my bike or walk a dog.

Of course, you’re absolutely correct. fk it everyone, let’s all go out for a hoon because someone can’t stock up on bog roll this week.

[Doofus]

Buy a tabloid newspaper. Cut it into squares. Cheaper than the same quantity of bog roll.

I'm serious.

This was the best summary I've read yet.

I dont despair myself. I find them embarrassing.

I thought us Brits had a get your head down and get on with it spirit. That we were a fairly well educated, reasonable and decent society.

And then you read about all the self entitled muppets here who just want to go for a drive and find silly reasons to justify it. Laughable really.

I saw that and had the same thought, I wonder if he had a helmet on ? Heft wack to the Audi takes a fair impact to do that level of damage. Darwinism in action and captured on film check out the daily Wail.

But I'm not being selfish. Why can't you grasp this? I'm out on my own, away from others and generally minding my own business. Those are the facts. If the sheeple want to follow the herd then sure, that's a risk. However I'm not one of those sheople.

You cannot reason with stupid. You just can’t. You are not a sheeple, no. You are a Covidiot suffering from moronavirus.

If being sheeple means doing your bit to help “flatten the curve” of this terrible virus, then being sheeple is the way to go and hats to all of them. Thankfully sheeple seem to be in the majority. Let’s hope for all our sakes that the actions of the proudly self entitled do not scupper the strategy to overcome this tremendous challenge the world is facing.

You are being selfish, because you're saying that you can do it and others can't. What if we all decided to do exactly as you want, in the same places as you at the same time as you?

That still wouldn't be your problem, would it?

Almost all of us are finding this difficult, but guess what? WE'RE fkING DOING IT FOR THE GOOD OF OUR FELLOW CITIZENS.

Not everything in your life is about you.

I’m afraid we’re p***ing in the wind here. Alas, some people just aren’t very intelligent and will never understand.

Yes, you are.
Everyone in the country has been given a very specific set of instructions, at no point have they said “do what you like, if you think it’s appropriate”.
Despite what you think you’re not more important than everyone else nor do you have the facts, experience, training or ability to figure out how to combat this pandemic.

I meant the sheeple going for jaunts as a herd to country parks etc. There is the risk

I've said no such thing. My understanding is that I can walk, ride, excercise out doors. Which part of that can't you comprehend given that I'm alone?

Yes, stay away from people and don't touch anything. That's what we've been told.

You are making unnecessary journeys. Which part of that do you continually, willfully fail to grasp?
