Archied

I think its all restrictions being lifted other than:-
Travelling anywhere
Going to school
Wearing masks
Having fun
Getting on with your life

Yep each to their own, we have decided not to do things like holidays, meals out , football and such like until this all stops and the world goes back to normal, 
chances are that’s our lives spoilt possibly forever but at some point you have to stand by what you believe ?‍♂️

I'm interested to know how they have contributed to extending lockdown?
There was never a magical number of people that had to be vaccinated for restrictions to end, we were originally led to believe this would happen when all of the vulnerable groups had been offered the vaccine. 
The only people responsible for extending lockdown are SAGE and the Government, nobody else.

Don't know anyone who hasn't had it and all of my friends and their partners are mid/late twenties.
Brothers are 18 and 16 and they'll be having it too when able.
Anyone who doesn't want it and is happy taking their chances, fine by me, their choice. I believe in free will.
All I hope is that they take personal responsibility, accept they've been silly to ignore medical advice and change their attitude to any future advice if they require hospital treatment. Oh, and accept that they are contributing to extending lockdowns.

Hands , head , bed ?

I’m glad Hancock has been caught, it might just make more people realise we are being conned. 

A fear worse than the fear of dieing ?? ,  the fear of killing the ones we love
thats what’s been tapped into here and what a fantastically clever campaign has been waged , yes there are many many who have been petrified t for themselves but the actual numbers and what most people are experiencing around them would have had this fear wearing off a while ago with most people thinking they are prepared to balance the very very small risk they may die from covid or be seriously ill,
it needs more , talking to my wife and looking back on when she had it yes she was scared for herself but that was massively outweighed by the huge fear she may give it to me and or our kids and we die, on the back of the fear campaign that’s been waged,
ive looked at and listened to people like Eddie through this and thought how selfish at times , he wants people to destroy their lives to save HIM, now thinking about it I’m willing to bet he’s more scared of catching it and giving it to his wife and his wife terrified of catching it and killing him??‍♂️
from day one right through to now the people at the coal face with all the data , facts and figures who make these policies and have worked so hard to instil these fears in us DONT have or feel this fear, from boris shaking hands in hospitals ,through Ferguson the modelling man meting his lover, Cummings zipping about like zebodi, Hancock groping and playing tongue tennis in the work place , Indian planes landing, G 4 summits, football vip s and sponsors flying in ??‍♂️
this is not about stupid ,,, nobody is that stupid especially a whole raft of people at the top who have had decent educations , for god sake the lowliest building site labourers can work out in seconds that is stupid ,
125 k deaths in 60 to 70 mill ? How much lower would that figure be had old people with covid not been discharged into care homes where they would not get the medical treatment they needed and spread it among the most vulnerable?
yes people will be along shortly to tell me I’m a tin foil hat wearer and you know what ? That’s ok 
if you really need to carry on following all these rules just in case then carry on but for gods sake stop living in fear , the chances of you killing your loved ones and or dieing yourself are tiny,
we are in the third wave of a virus that is deadly and hugely potent which has become more potent with the Kent mutation , then even more potent with the Indian mutation, (how much more potent can it be) and yet myself and my family still do not personally know a single person who’s has died from or been hospitalised from covid and I’m 60 so my friend group is the vulnerable age group, we know many who have tested positive and had no symptoms or mild illness ??‍♂️,
anecdotal yes but true non the less and certainly does not fit with the covid picture we are having painted day in day out

Why are some folk so unable, unwilling or both, to assimilate a few simple facts concerning these charges? It's no small wonder that fans from other clubs have a poor opinion of us now, when some of our own fans, who ought to be better informed, are themselves the first to jump on any sniff of perceived wrongdoing. What possible benefit is there in wilfully ignoring what we know to be true in favour presupposing guilt at every corner? We've even got folk using the fact that we've not submitted the new accounts inside 48 hours as the latest stick with which to thrash the club. It simply beggars belief.
For the umpteenth time, there were two charges; one related to the valuation of our stadium and was summarily dismissed by the DC; the other related to our amortisation policy which was signed off on and approved under legal accounting standards by independent auditors, the auditors regulatory body, the DC and the ducking EFL themselves, the latter several times over a period of years. The amortisation policy charge was also initially dismissed by the DC for the aforementioned reasons. This left the EFL so desperate to save face that they appealed the decision, the outcome of which was predicted by myself and numerous others on this very thread: a small fine in order to secure the token win they need to maintain any ducking credibility at all AND NO POINTS DEDUCTION. 
At this point, I very much doubt that even the EFL will be willing to risk further embarrassment. They can kid themselves this paltry fine vindicates two years of unwarranted charges and appeals and get back to their principal role as lapdogs to Sky and the Premiership whilst paying themselves inflated salaries for doing so. As for the DC, I strongly suspect that they only agreed to what is a nominal fine in order to save the EFL from falling into further disrepute and to allow us to finally emerge from under an endless series of unfair and damaging embargos and to prevent the EFL from continuing what has become a spiteful and unwarranted campaign against a club whose chairman quite rightly questioned their business acumen. In doing so, they have vindicated Mel's opinion in spades, though the crushing irony of this has unsurprisingly escaped the EFL's notice and who will doubtless be celebrating spending millions to secure a £100k fine for their members' coffers.
If, as I strongly suspect, the EFL do not appeal this sanction, I think we will 'be the bigger man' and simply take the £100k hit in order to allow us to return to football matters rather than spending every waking hour addressing the embittered ramblings and actions of a so-called professional body that seems more intent on undermining its membership than serving it. 

Boris says apology is good end of matter ,,,,,,Genuine question, are we at an all time low in terms of our politicians and government?
I really believe we are but maybe I’m just over egging it ??‍♂️

Good little article in the Times this morning about Matt wanderingcock who commented at the time about Neil Fergusson who went to see his lover in lockdown, Matt said he has to resign. One rule forsome....Banker.

I agree with some points not so with others, that's all good. If there is one event that my parents and older relatives spoke about more than anything else it was the war, and they live in unoccupied part of France, so not as affected as some, it affected them.  One day this shize fest will pass,. Similar to you, life is more behind me than in front of me, my main concern is the effect on kids, teenagers and young adults. What should have been happy, care free time, playing, socialising, a bit of learning may be, enjoying the best years of life has been messed up on a grand scale. i hope it does not affect them for the rest of their life.

For some time I have watched these politicians , experts and government,  aghast thinking do they really think we are stupid ,, gods sake ,  maybe we are ??‍♂️

I’m actually becoming more understanding of that , the concerted effort , work , money , advertising and bombardment from media of everything negative and censorship of anything positive ( except vaccine ,selected ones anyway) to put people in  a state of severe fear has been massive  and surprise surprise people have been and still are in great fear for their lives and the lives of their loved ones so actually it’s understandable, fear is an emotion and emotion trumps thinking every time ,
even my wife and I who I believe have a fairly balanced view of this virus found that when she had covid and was ill the number 1 worst thing about it was the fear you were going to die ,,, where’s the emphasis of how many people DONT die from having covid? 
only time will get us out of this and I think it will be a long time as the fear has been so great and the damage to our young so serious ??‍♂️

Honestly I don’t think it is rock bottom ,I’m genuinely shocked at what the British public prepared to accept with a shrug of the shoulders , 
this is the man and wider the government that have been and are telling us that if we don’t social distance , wear masks and follow the rules WE  ARE KILLING PEOPLE ,, just let that REALLY sink in whilst doing the exact opposite , I thought the government ministers standing straight faced defending the indefensible lies of Cummings on his actions would be hard to top but no ??‍♂️

Noam Chomsky sums it up well.....
 
"It is important to bear in mind that political campaigns are designed by the same people who sell toothpaste and cars".

We never broke the rules .
You are really getting up my nose .

and where did I say anywhere that I think all clubas are sweetness and light? anywhere? somehwere? or actually nowhere at all..?
 
they are al bent as hell, we are proablbly the worst and we have got caught...so accept the punishment.
the EFL havent " got it in " for us... anyone who thinks that is some sort of mental conspiracy theory crackpot

I really don’t see why the EFL are a disgrace, we “bent” the rules, I think we would all agree we broke a number of rules. Therefore we should take whatever punishment they want to dish out. I think only one party is a disgrace and it’s Derby County Football Club.
