A Ram for All Seasons Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 There was a mini-riot yesterday afternoon in Mannheim, Germany, where I live. 150 teenage youths gathered in the city centre and started smashing the patrol car windows when the police challenged them. The police then sent in around 40-50 officers. Four injured, four arrests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sith Happens Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 It is a very sad reflection on humanity, that people like Miriam Margoyles admits her first thought when Boris Johnson was ill was she wanted him to die. She says he didn't get better as a human being, i tend to think she need to give herself a good hard stare in the mirror if she thinks the only reason she needed to alter her view was how people would think of her.

I must confess that my first thought was that I hope that he nearly dies, because then the idiot might start taking it seriously. I think I got my wish, but I have a sneaking feeling that short memories will abound with respect to others around him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G STAR RAM Posted May 9, 2020 Author Share Posted May 9, 2020 19 minutes ago, Eddie said: As opposed to the British government who famously once said "We have heard enough from experts". Obviously it's your prerogative, and I think we all know your views on the Government in general, but when discussing their reaction to this situation do you not think it would be better to discuss the points where you think they have gone wrong, what they could have done better and what information was available to lead to that conclusion. I've also noticed that alot of the people that are slating the Government just simply do not respond when it is pointed out that countries comparable to ours (Italy, France and Spain) are in a reasonably similar situation to us. I mean there was even one poster pretending that we would be better off if we were still in the EU but then soon went missing when questioned on their delivery of ventilators and PPE. I have absolutely no problem with criticism of the Government if it is backed up with logical evidence and comparatives but when it is based on an underlying hatred or a hangover from the Brexit situation, I find it quite tedious and unhelpful.

Seems she's admitting what many thought, but not enough thought the second part I'd warrant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To wish harm on someone purely because they dont share their political views really does not reflect well on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People have a wide range of opinions, sometimes these are backed up with logical evidence and other times they are based on a gut feeling. I hope that the the government successfully handle a phased exit from the lockdown. I hope this is mainly based on the scientific evidence available and not unduly influenced by Conservative Party donors. 56.4% of the UK didn't vote for the Conservatives at the last election - maybe that explains why it feels to some like the Government gets a lot of stick on here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to think that people are fair enough to view the response to coronavirus in complete isolation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we don’t see eye to eye on the EU but don’t you think we are a lot more accountable to things already and not hiding behind the EU’s failings.
