Funeral Balloon Release
Discussion
Never heard this was a thing? Nor did I, however, the local plod have taken a dim view of the gathering of more than 100 people but not the fact that these balloons will be polluting the environment for years to come.

Tacit exemption from all laws & regulations for that social group.Semi topical but if we're talking balloons then I highly recommend this short Qxir video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYGmifBEboQ

I say short video but if you like a bit of deadpan humour then click the 'tales from the bottle' playlist, as it won't be short once you've binge watched the lot.

How far this country has fallen. Police trying to move on grieving friends and family ffs.
Why do you consider breaking the law is standing your ground?Well done them for standing their ground.

Or is it OK to pick and choose the laws which you wish to conform to? Is there a list of those which are fascist that we don't have to comply with?

It will not be long before the police start getting badly beaten up. They are once again looking like they need to wear brown shirts going forward.
Are you rejoicing in the possibility of police officers being beaten? Should they only enforce laws where they are met with smiles and offers of tea? Why do you suggest enforcing the law is fascist?Derek Smith said:

No I am very concerned about the possible civil unrest and harm caused. No, they should enforce orders that are just. Would you suggest they should have arrested Ann Franke? Because "just following orders" was not sufficient to save those who committed crimes against the people.
If you can not see why the law is fascist there is little more I can do. What freedoms do you think we should have left before it is fascist?

Quite.Everyone involved in a funeral wants to break the rules, as its a terrible situation, but the majority do not.

It also demonstrates why the "personal choice" stuff is nonsense.
