I know that you're quite happy to kill me off (though rest assured that I don't take it personally).

I only ask that you're not quite so blatant about it.

He would also be happy for my mother to die based on the shite that spews from his mouth (which is why i tossed him on ignore) but i still have the itching to call him my favourite word from time to time.

Over a million people have died and more are likely to do so. Would it really kill you to tolerate a few temporary restrictions until we get this under control? For fucks sake. Were not even discussing full on lockdown, the restrictions are mainly on large gatherings and masks wearing.

Don't worry, it's nothing personal. My mother is also in the clinically extremely vulnerable group.

Fun fact...

Laurence Fox is Richard Ayoade's brother in law; Fox's sister Lydia is married to Ayoade.

Fox has apparently tried to lecture Ayoade on racism.

In an interview with The Sunday Times, it has since emerged that Fox begged Ayoade, who is married to his sister Lydia, to support him on social media.

Ayoade, who is half-Nigerian, was reportedly furious at this, and told Fox: “You have never encountered racism.”

Fox responded: “Yeah, of course I have. I’ve encountered racism from black people towards me, when I was working in Kenya [as a safari driver] for seven months. It’s the way you’re spoken to — racism can be deferential.”

Asked by the interviewer what he meant by the idea that “racism can be deferential”, Fox answered ”This is why you don’t get actors involved in chats like this. Because I’m just not smart enough to do it.”

Fox-Ayoade family gatherings must be entertaining.
Now i like Ayoade even more.

Pfft, the Tories don't care about their policies killing people. They just don't want that to be their common public image.

Thousands are dying every single day. Is being able to gather in a large group or not wear a mask really worth adding even more to that death toll?

We're still not sure if she had it or not. She had all the symptoms a few weeks ago, the test came back negative but the hospital insisted that was what it was. The covid treatments they gave her worked however.

I view freedoms as infinitely more valuable than protecting each and every life, so yes.

We are not taking away essential freedoms permanently. The only freedoms being taken away is things like the freedom to gather in large groups, go to certain places, and not wearing a mask. And they will be given back once things are back in control and it may help save thousands of lives. Like honestly you cannot believe being able to get in a big group is worth killing thousands.

And this is why you are complicit in those deaths with your dangerous behavior. But I genuinely think you might be a psychopath since not even protecting your own mother is reason enough for you to endure minor inconveniences, so I doubt you care about anyone who is not you. But thankfully the majority understands the danger and takes measures to protect society from people like you.

I kick anti-maskers and Covid deniers out of my store all the time. I don't care if we lose their business, saving lives is more important.

In an ideal world people like Coraspia should face punishment for the suffering they have helped inflict on others. Their blatant disregard for any kind of preventative measures or safeguards has contributed to this second wave and the death and suffering of others. Its an utterly pathetic and hateful position to hold and is held by only the very worst or those just desperate for attention.

Im not removing this so warn me if you want, you know im right about him.

The government shouldn't even be allowed to decide how society acts, this pandemic has shown that they already have far too much power. The fact that they can decide which freedoms are important and when they can be taken and given back is proof our society is broken.

Not great but not terrible either. Trust me, cutting out the anti-maskers hardly dents the profit margins. Probably less than half a percent. The biggest factor is people that would be dining in if it was safe to do so, which I imagine is the case with many restaurants.

I'd probably wear a mask if I didn't have a medical exemption if that was the business owner's choice, it's their property after all. I disagree with government mask mandates for the same reason I disagree with the smoking ban though.

Ah yes, freedoms. So important.

Except the freedoms of the people you'll kill. Guess their freedoms can be sacrificed, but not everyone's elses.

Odd that the fundamental thing needed to experience freedoms is perfectly okay to lose, but not certain freedoms.

My point still stands.

For all your "support" for freedom, you're perfectly okay with people losing their freedoms permanently. Doesn't matter how much of a minority (though if you got your way I'm sure it would be much more than an extremely small minority).

I mean, what do we expect from a group of soft, decadent, privileged people who live in comfort and aren't usually asked to make sacrifices? The West for the most part has done a horrible job with this, with a few exceptions. Americans have done a particularly pathetic job.

Today's people would not have the resolve to defeat Nazi Germany, that's for sure.
