Will you continue using a face mask after 19 July?

[Mr Retro]

In the pub watching the game tonight 3 guys at a table near us put on their masks before Kane’s penalty so they could jump up if he scored. The madness has gone deep.

I may not give a toss about football, but calling it madness is a bit steep.

Do you actually know how coronavirus is spread?

Hint: it's not just people jumping up and down

I am encouraged by the behaviour you describe. Hopefully it indicates not too many people are as far gone as you seem to be.

 

[Mr Retro]

Mr Retro Block me, you coward

“Coward”?? How so?

 

[Mr Retro]

I have no doubt you are encouraged by that behaviour and I am the one far gone.

We’re in the middle of the exponentially increasing spread of a new variant which our measures (such as they were) and vaccines were not designed to work against.

I’ll be keeping my mask on. I’ll continue to make them. I upped the standard of what I make them out of earlier this year when it became obvious I’d need something that protects me as well as others.

I find the people saying they won’t bother if it’s not against the rules anymore quite depressing and honestly, disappointing. I’ve been doing what I’ve been doing out of care and respect for myself and other people, not because I was told to.

glad you finally admit it

 

[l'Otters]

idly wondering what happened to that other poster whose tactic was to put everyone on ignore. guess eventually they ran out of people to dismiss as rude and put on ignore ?

 

[two sheds]

you've insulted him now you'll be on ignore too

It’s interesting to look back on just a day or so and see the people who are unable to engage without resorting to personal verbal abuse.

I’ve been in urban 75 for years and you would have hoped it was a bit better than the behaviour you see on Twitter but it isn’t at all the case. It’s mainly why I dip in and out because it’s just the same bullying here if you are not part of the echo chamber.

If you care about these things there is a classic example of bullying on this thread. People being abusive and then asking to be put on ignore so as to bond with other bullies against a target.

 

[l'Otters]

Has it occurred to you that perhaps the problem is with you...

Personally have found your contributions to this thread consistently offensive and not worth engaging with. And I’m really not surprised to see people taking umbrage at your tone. Both content and delivery are off. But whatever. Not my circus.

 

[Orang Utan]

we just have no truck with selfish people who get their news from social media

 

[Mr Retro]

Ok

Ah so it’s my fault! There’s a word for that too

 

[purves grundy]

You’ll never know if I will keep wearing a mask because I might be wearing a mask and therefore unidentifiable.

 

[scifisam]

Nah, that describes most of us

 

[Orang Utan]

Nah, that describes most of us

i hope not

 

[Supine]

Ok

True?

 

[krtek a houby]

LynnDoyleCooper if you (or anybody else) can't debate & disagree without insults I will put you on ignore.

The evidence that wearing a mask does anything to protect the wearer or those they are around is not clear. I detest them, I find them oppressive and their removal of dignity and individualism really effects me. Therefore in the absence of evidence I will not wear one.

Individual freedoms have been entirely removed by government in the last 16 months. In their fear, purposely engendered by scientists, government and MSM I think many people have been quite comfortable with this totalitarianism. Now we are getting freedoms back, I believe the shrieking about masks and the common good in the last day or so on social medi is somewhere to direct the fear. I understand this and I think masks are a comfort for people. I will respect and not judge anybody who still wants to wear a mask while exercising my right not to.

Hate the damn things but have been wearing them for 12 hour days at work. And will continue to do so, as long as selfish conspiracy types continue to believe that preventitive measures are somehow taking their freedoms away.

You're a snidey little cunt, aren't you?

 

[bimble]

tbh that is quite funny, the 3 men in the pub.

I thought it was rather lovely.

It's sweet yeah, the mad bit is the rule about how you can shout or sing as much as you like, in a crowded room, as long as you're seated.

Was it an English man, an Irish man and a scot?

I've not read the whole thread and I dunno if these ever get listened to but - Sign the Petition

Let's face it - this shower, just like my ex, don't want to hear anything that doesn't suit their agenda. So they'll ignore it. But I think the message is still worth sending, so I've signed it.

i think what's happened is just that people are taking out the anger that they feel towards millions of others who are not here (people who who share your ideas about there having been a vast concerted conspiracy etc) at you cos you are. Don't think its personal & do think its over the top tbh.
My next door neighbours are 100 times more nuts than you (the whole virus is some sort of evil plan etc) and maybe its cathartic to have a go at you cos I'm not brave enough to tell them what i think of them, because they live right there.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Just stand quite close and tell them you’ve got anthrax.

Wonder if a mask with 'ebola' printed on it would deter maskless idiots?

And Retro's not saying anything that millions of others don't think. The issue with U75 has always been that the posters here see it as an example of real life, when in actuality this place is primarily populated by misfits and weirdos who are about as in touch with reality as the Tooth Fairy.

TBF, the Tooth Fairy sees a lot and knows the score.
