People won't even pick up their dog poo any more, such is their childish disregard for rules ffs. No chance of getting them to conform. They've done their own research and unsurprisingly their findings are that the pathway that causes them least hassle is the correct one.

Twitter genuinely depresses me nowadays. Somehow the algorithm throws me non stop absolute dumb caaants who use the beet worst faith arguments known to man. Idiocracy is here and I’m a step closer to moving to the outback and leaving society behind ๐Ÿ˜น

----------------------------------------------------------------------
The article clearly implies that there will be new rules, as you can't have civil disobedience against nonexistent rules. I was referring to that hypothetical.

What rules wouldn't really matter to "researchers," as they won't obey them anyway

Do you think the people making the rules will follow them?


Do you think we can trust our 'leaders' to impose justified and we'll thought out rules?

What would you do if living in Sri Lanka and you had no food or petrol?

I for one have had enough of these karens. If you don't wanna risk covid, stay at home. Otherwise crack on.

We’re British, we kneel on all fours and take a good political shafting like we usually do.

I was doing some reading on the sad Archie Battersbee situation the other day, and the amount of people under the tweets about him saying things like "you can't trust Doctors these days, they all have their own interests".

We're in the golden age of information, all of human knowledge is available literally at our fingertips, and yet I swear we're getting dumber due to this weird belief people have now where they think they know best.

This is depressingly spot on

Imagine trying to tell a population that is already had enough and where probably over 75% of people are struggling just to eat / heat their homes even more than the start of the year that they now need to obey a new set of rules (or the old ones anyway)

Could be a very somber finish to this year

I liken it to being in a sweetshop but having no teeth; people don't read anymore and their attention-spans are shot, used to consuming information in tiny bites.

You don't necessarily need teeth to eat sweets though.

The next Chancellor is unlikely to introduce a new furlough scheme if there is a new pandemic

People will have to learn to fend for themselves

What evidence is there that hospitals will be overrun?

Post vaccine, the numbers admitted is way down from the worst of the pandemic and the numbers on ventilators is small, relatively speaking… and this has been the case during two waves now (current one included).

Of course we will need to take care and it’s not gone away, but don’t agree with the extremely downbeat views on this article.

And at the end, a solitary figure, Tux will look around the devastation looking for someone, anyone still alive to say: ‘I told you so’….
