My post pointed at anti-vaxxers (one i spoke with recently stated that she prefers to be referred to as "Pro-vaccine choice" lol)
I had a barney with a stupid woman once, she was travelling to Peru with her young children, volunteering for six months and giving her kids the trip of a lifetime. But, she was one of them nutters and said she was giving her children homeopathic vaccinations. I said she was a child abuser and mentioned how 'popular' Polio (kills and cripples children) was when I was a kid and how vaccinations had pretty much sorted that - and smallpox (kills and cripples children) and measles (kills children). I also mentioned how things like Yellow fever, hepatitis, tetanus, typhoid and many other bastard disease killed children in Peru and how homeopathy was a hippy pile of drivel. Fucking homeopathy! The total bollocks that water has a memory of all the diluted hundreds of times shit that has been in that water will cause 'like to cure like' is the biggest pile of poo ever. Every molecule of water on the planet has at some stage in its billions of year life been in contact with every molecule that has ever existed, so drinking a glass of water should homoeopathically cure every disease.

There is no evidence that vaccinations cause Autism, there is an enormous amount evidence that vaccinations stop kiddies dying.

In my state there is now a “reopen” campaign led by an anti-vaxxer. Dozens of them sat in their cars and blew their horns in front of the state capital yesterday. So it’s safe enough to reopen the state but not enough to get out of your fucking car. You couldn’t write this shit.

You see this is the scenario when your right to own anti tank weapons makes sense....

It's the first two-month stretch in which there hasn't been a school shooting in god knows how long. But only because they've been shuttered.

Sorry J.spurs & USspur, but I sense you agree that keeping these wankers locked up in their basements is only slightly less dangerous than letting them out. Regardless of whether they're carriers.

Feel free to lay in on me if I'm wrong. We Canadians are way too smug way too often.

Greedy is what greedy does!

I really think Levy is that deluded about customer loyalty,its like a drug dealer thinking his punters cant do without him,yes I am an addict but there is always someone else selling for me to give my money to besides Levy.I have seen 100s and 100s on social media finally had it up to here with the ownership.I will always follow the club,I wont always give someone like Levy my money.The fact the club had to dig down into the 60k on the waiting list to sell season tickets to,its not a bottomless pit of mugs ready to throw money into a speculators pot.I think the damage Levy has done to his and the clubs standing is almost unrepairable.
He's only out done by Mike Ashley, who I understand whilst likely mid sale of the club has taken season ticket money for next year........Levy must be furious to have missed out on that one.......

The problem is that these fuckwits won't be locked up in their basements. And that they tend to be quite heavily armed when they come out to protest the rules that they're not following in the first place. And that these lunatics are essentially mainstream. And that the dog whistles to these people from the fucking President of the United States are now just fucking whistles, or more like air raid sirens. I never thought the Brownshirts of our time would be old twats wearing bald eagle airbrushed t-shirts and carrying Glocks and AR-15s, but here we are.

I'm an academic historian by training (hopefully soon by trade),so I tend to think about these things in terms of underlying causes and precedents. I read an opinion piece today that had a line which is all too true in my opinion: "Democracy is never pronounced dead at the scene." We were already in deep shit before this thing hit, and I have no idea where we're headed. But it doesn't look good, even if, as our Dear Leader prophesied in a press conference back in March, this thing miraculously disappears by May.

Our upcoming election is the most important in our history. We were damaged goods before Trump, as any nonwhite, non-middle class person in this country can tell you, but we're getting damn close to being broken beyond repair. Like I said about the club's initial response to the pandemic, crisis reveals character.

Its many countries,the division is incredible in 2 party majority politics.I have little time for either side TBH,I distrust 98% of politicians,very few are truly in it for the people and thats either end of the spectrum.If I expressed my views I would sound like a utopian,tree hugging CND,vegan,greenpeace nutter.When really I just want to express my disbelief that for centuries we spend more on weapons and waging war than helping/treating our citizens,which seems even more pertinent in this time of health crisis.I am not advocating total disarming,and i am not in anyway one to take a backward step when threatend,but its all about taking something,keeping something for economic advantage,and has been since the romans,queen victoria and now trump.I see so little care for the people in politics,just care for the economy.

I will be truly pissed off if we under go 2 or more months of lockdown here,and the government decides to take the tourist money for a 8 week short tourist season from july and play russian roulette with lives.It will hurt me financially hugely,but i dont want to die because someone comes from other countries and brings death on a plane with them to make some money,holidays are hardly essential services.And yet I guess thats exactly what will happen (hopefully not the dying part!).Do people really think higher GDP means more happiness?As for USA,4 more years of this nutter you may well have your own Putin for life president..

Some really encouraging thoughts on here, who knew Spurs fans were also great philosophical minds. Apologies for what sounds incredibly patronising - 100% not meant to be

The US President actually calling for citizens to rise up using the 2nd amendment (right to bare arms) and liberate states from the control of elected officials....

What.....? What the actual fuck.....!!!!!

Our latest election was probably the most important in our history IMO..... We fucked that up completely btw.....

All of this, the above and your situation is all due to the mega rich controlling the media and manipulating the masses.

Maybe the upcoming civil unrest will redress the balance and restore power to the people.

I think we and you, the old colonial superpowers are in serious trouble as the east and south are taking over.

The only way will be your guy chucking a few nukes around and a few hundred thousand teenagers which in its self will change the face of the planet.

Were super fucked, unless we choose to change it.

Its ridiculous,imagine a labour or lib politician advocating ignoring government rules,and invoking a "god given right to bare arms" written when muskets were the order of the day,it is incredulous.I understand people truly needing guns who live in the wilderness and subsistance hunting,like 250 years ago,or going into areas where life threatening predators roam,sport hunting well cant say I advocate it 100% but culling can serve a purpose sometimes.I dont know why in NY or chicago,miami you need to bare arms especially carrying concealed in public,last time I looked I didnt see no bears,bobcats,mountain lions,wild boar,gators,perhaps a few nutters with lions and tigers as pets!!in most cities,the only thing you are going to shoot is another human being.Its up there with your god telling you eating beef or pork or shellfish is sinful and you will go to hell for a bacon sandwich.

I cannot believe so many millions vote for this absolute nutter,we are such a dumb fucking species a lot of the time.

I have been saying for yonks that we have to treat the US of A as a rogue nation. If ANY other country's leader behaved like this bloke, sanctions and boycotts would be applied by the entire civilised world. He makes Putin look like Mother Theresa. I have been boycotting this place for as long as I can remember (I'm a lefty commie Cuban Castro loving cunt apparently) . I have been to America, but never the part that arrogantly calls itself the name of a fucking continent. Of course I am a hypocritical cunt as well - my most prized possession is an American ( should say USA'ian) Fender Stratocaster Deluxe, and I obviously watch United Statesian TV and movies, thank fuck I don't have to listen to their music, luckily we beat the bollocks off of them at that!

The fucking Brexitheads love this nutter and that is enough for me to hate the cunt - even without the appalling way he is behaving at the moment. He bangs on about protecting the country by putting up his fucking stupid wall and barring refugees from entering but then endangered thousands, maybe millions of his subjects by his actions and inactions on shooters and Covid 19, Hopefully when the civilised World get this thing under control, it is NOT going to go away or be cured anytime soon, but the numbers CAN be kept at a level where health services can cope, then the non-loonies can say to Trump and Johnson, sorry your folks are not going to be allowed in because we don't want all that bollox flaring up again.

Will the cunts who are out with their guns demanding their rights to be cunts in mass numbers be charged with killing anyone they pass C19 onto? Nah, they'll get a pat on the back from the chief nutter for being patriotic.

Talking about totally incompetent cunts - I saw this morning that the UK are letting 15,000 a day in to the country without any checks or regulations that they go into quarantine for 14 days because there are already so many cases in the UK that it wouldn't make much of a difference!

How many dole bludging shit cunts do we have....? Fucking million or so maybe as many as 10 million???

But were better off getting foreign workers in (the same ones we hated while Brexit was happening),when the entire planet is on lockdown, to pick fruit and veg for the dole queuing cunts, rather than have dolites do it for a wage???

Hold on, weve got people on 80% pay from the GVT doing fuck all in their back gardens and we still need foreign workers flown in to do it.......

Can someone please explain this to me because I am sure as fuck that if I was furloughed right now and someone was offering me a days work as opposed to sitting on my ever expanding arse, I'd fucking take it...

What have you got to loose?

80% or your normal dosh for doing nothing and then extra quids for doing an actual job, out in the sunshine and fresh air???

This country is fucking unbelievable....

Not as unbelievable as the US but pretty damn fucking close.

Its greek orthodox church easter this weekend,its the biggest day of the year their xmas day and boy are they cracking down in advance.All churches to be locked and no services (live streamed),they have cancelled the bringing of the holy light from jerusalem to churches (big deal if youre not a pagan like me),its still a hugely religious country,havent seen any protests or mwaaaaa its not fair,a few priests already been caught and fined for holding snidey services this week,and in a few hours ALL traffic is banned until monday morning to stop people visiting families/friends especially tomorrow which is a huge feast day,normally a whole spit roasted lamb and other meats and huge gatherings,everyone has been told this is a big no no,but still i saw people buying whole lamb and the huge bbqs have sold out.If people especially in town are too blatant I can see us under curfew from monday as punishment,this government is not fucking around,so close getting it gone,only just over 100 deaths in the country.From what I have seen elsewhere in some places,police advisement just doesnt cut it.If you are caught driving,its £300 fine, and they take your number plates,meaning for a period they have taken your car away.

Anyhow Kalo Pasca,enjoy your liberty elsewhere (perhaps not Spain!).We shall be having leg of lamb in the oven styley with patates lemonata,I may sneak some yorks pudds on it to anglify the pagan feast!!

You can't buy barbecues here mate, the big Carrefour supermarket is open but all the non-food aisles are cordoned off and you can only buy essentials like food, ciggies, alcohol and stuff in the pharmacies. We don't think Mrs D will be allowed to go there anyway next week because it isn't our closest Supermarket and she might get busted by Plod, I haven't left the house for over a month now as I am a venerable person ( yeah I meant that, not vulnerable, that's old sick people..... ) am in self-isolation. That actually suits me very nicely because I am a right anti-social cunt and why would I bother wanting to be somewhere else when it's very nice here?

We've got another 4 weeks of lockdown before they might try start to ease it slightly. Luckilly there aren't as many facists here demanding their fucking rights, they know what a facist regime is like and most people realised it was really shite, There are a few Franco lovers pining for the days of military rule, I expect you have them in Greece as your gaffe is new to this democracy lark as well?

Yeah I saw The spaniels are taking a hard line with the lockdown,honest if it had happened months later we would be fucked here,but greece as a whole has no off peak winter tourism unlike spain so they escaped with very few bringing it in to begin with.So far today I havent seen or heard a single car,a couple of scooters,probably delivering essentials like takeaway coffee and pastries FFS !
Greeks are really into politics and protesting,its practically lawful to have riots priotesting stuff.There are communist parties left over from the military era,but basically it just left and right,or was until they stuck a brand new party in during grexit bollocks,and kicked them out next chance they had.Its very feudal here,politics is a way to get rich quick,a top career,because like all feudal systems its bent as fuck,mayors have huge power,are always from huge local intersts and families,its like political mafia,money,contracts,work,chief of police!!all dished out by a mayor voted in by those he will reward.But its like every country,pretty fucked up,but they accept it.

Big day as well as easter sunday,my missus birthday,so we are feasting all day,starting with prawns very soon,moving on to roast leg of lamb later on and bread and butter pudding for afters,by which time i will be forced by gravity to be stuck to a sofa,farting,falling asleep watching a film.I am such a romantic!!

You're right about that, but when the only choice to get rid is another centrist wolf in sheep's clothing I can't muster much hope that things will get any better. Less idiocy on the surface, but the same nefarious larceny beneath.

Year after year of destructive levelling down, and everyone is rightly pissed, including the deluded twats with guns. They're just wrong in their choice of champion.

I'm neither Orthodox nor in Greece, but having seen this, I'm gonna have to cook lamb over coals this weekend.

As a measure of how crazy things have gotten, the farmer who I'll get the flesh from can't even do the same. He's not allowed fires in his idyllic rural setting because the emergency folk need to be ready to deal with other sorts of dipshittery.

The same thing happens here about now because of the risk of fires,bbqs are ok in some areas,others well you wouldnt if you built in a pine forest.When I clear some of the stuff in the winter it has to be perfect before I burn any bits of tree,soaked ground after rain,no wind,I try and take off any cones to prevent them shooting embers,all aorund its a carpet of pine needles and them things go up like a gun powder fuse!!

But the lamb was nice (considering it was greek farmed,normally pretty skinny),its about the only time of year we have it or can afford it,prices outside of easter I`d rather buy beef than a pile of bones from summer lamb,not a lot of nice green pastures in this neck of the woods!!
Dont forget to post a picture!!!

I don't disagree, and indeed have publicly campaigned, donated to, and cast my vote for candidates who stood for the kind of reform we both know is necessary. But it's still not a matter of degrees of difference between the two choices we have, and the deluded twats with guns are wrong about a lot more than the cretin they support.

On a (somewhat) lighter note, this sign is apparently from the home of a supporter of the "Open" so-called movement here in my home state:
