das Posted March 21, 2020 Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 Front page of today's Express. 'Unleased, our new Battle of Britain''. I didn't think this was very appropriate to our current crisis when hundreds of young men from all parts of Europe killed each other over the skies of Western Europe in 1940. I know we have a battle but please don't compare it with one of the most selfless acts of heroism in history. In my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BADGER.BRAD Posted March 21, 2020 Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 I saw an artical on The field Sports channel based in Pickering Guns, someone had compared the current crisis with the blitz the gun shop worker/owner said it's nothing like the blitz in the blitz people pulled together and helped others who had nothing even though they didn't have much themselves where as now people have gone mad with a self centered attitude of making sure they have enough/too much and to hell with everybody else.

Dave at kelton Posted March 21, 2020 Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 This was my recent post on Facebook. Have to say this thinking about what my 83 year old mum has seen in her life in the context of the current situation. It might be the most challenging time since WWII BUT We do not fear the wail of a siren and a rush to the shelter We do not need to sit under the stairs listening to a stick of bombs wondering if the next one will hit us Our homes and businesses will not be reduced to rubble We are not being gassed nor shot at We are not hugging our children a last time before they are evacuated Nor are we waving our young people goodbye knowing they may not return from the front, sea or air. We are facing a few months inconvenience, uncertainty and pain, that’s all. So let’s stop moaning, remain positive, retain our humanity, and our humour. We need only embrace the love of our family and friends and work together in communities to come through this stronger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mice! Posted March 21, 2020 Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 I saw this earlier, I'm not entirely convinced by all that's going on but this sums it up nicely. The thing I dont get is we're being told to stay away from people, pubs gyms restaurants all shut, but Monday I'll be back in work, where have all those people been?? The country can't isolate and work can it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is, society is now run on selfish principles, there's no common sense applied to anything, there's a rule or a law for everything, leading people to feel entitled, it's no longer are my actions morally righteous, it's, does my behaviour break a rule. Society has had to go this way, as it's such a culturally diverse society, with so many different views on everything, government has had to step in to prevent conflicts by legislating everything. We are now in a situation like this where we all need to pull together, alot of people seem to have forgotten how to do that, or have been bought up in a society where as long as you don't break a rule your right.

The country can't isolate and work can it? You have well and truly hit the the nail on the head ! All those folks who are being asked to stay away from pubs etc in order to self isolate. Are also being asked to go to work, sit on busy tills for 8 hrs etc to keep society ticking over. Don,t get me wrong, I am not saying we take a cavalier attitude, this is very serious. However if you choose to believe what they are saying in China. The only reason there are no new cases is because most likely everyone has had it .

I think only a fraction of the population has been exposed to it. I hope it doesn't come and everything all gets better from now on, but I fear an even bigger aftershock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
