taking a balanced, measured approach to this I see

A balanced, nuanced approach is - for example - meeting up with your parents in an open space like a forest or park, letting the kids spend time with them, maybe getting a takeaway brew at a cafe. There's nothing nuanced or balanced about 30 people sharing glasses, bottles, food, bathrooms and yelling at each other from 2ft away because the music has been cranked up.

trying to humourous weren’t they, for the likes, like.

yet, it really isn’t funny. None of it. It’s tragic.
 
I’m not sure what this is supposed to mean but it definitely has a whiff of childish dogshit about it.
to remain naive is childish.

If you can only carry rules out on threat of violence I would argue that its not me that is childish.
Rather than thinking what is better for everyone and doing what is being asked of you. That should be the extent of your effort. As long as you are doing what is asked of you you dont need to snitch to the authorities, its not your business.

It's debatable whether reporting it to the police is appropriate (depends on particular circumstances, I'd say) but the idea that other people acting in a way which potentially spreads a fatal virus around isn't everyone's business is bollocks.

So you wouldn’t report someone you know to be a sex offender?
 
A strawman argument is building. Its not the same at all and you know it. So fuck off with trying to get me down that path. I know lockdown is boring. You dont want to fight with me.
... It needs to be appropriate. But we know the police and CPS not to be appropriate.
And I remain naive.
Lead by example. I disappointed my family last week by saying it was not appropriate for myself and my kid to fly to attend xmas next week. So I cancelled. But maintained negative tests so that I could travel if it looked possible. I read alot of news to stay informed of what is going on in the weeks prior. I called it before Boris did. But then Im just some guy. Would I grass up my neighbours up for having a different view on things and maybe having their families round? To the OB? I doubt it. Would I call the police on them if I could hear something awful going on. Absolutely.

You were the one banging on about not grassing. The entire 'never grass' thing is a criminal construct designed to enable them to prey on others for longer. Fuck them. Of course we have to make judgements regarding levels of appropriateness, the same as we do with any decision making, but I think you'd find it hard to argue that 30 people having a party and waving a metaphorical wanker sign at their neighbours aren't crossing a line for most sensible people in the current climate.

im not that invested in the thread. Since its not my reality Im not going to pass my opinion on something i have no evidence of having occured or affecting me in any way whatsoever. I hit new posts and I made a reoccuring joke to someone who has a sense of humour and it seems a few of you go all in on some of these threads. I know this is urban but really your faux outrage is sad.

You are still allowed to walk in parties of one. I recommend maybe a bit less internetz.

the guy who delivered my Maccies at noon (cos I’m in bed hanging and having benzo withdrawals) must have taken a fistful of fries cos there was half a carton. And if he has, with numbers being as high here as they ever have, then that proves how utterly selfish people are and often only care about themselves. 67,000 dead. Christmas should be cancelled. No question.
 
its not your business.

Sorry but this is a pandemic. And it is everyone's business.
A neighbour of ours held a party mid the worst bit of the lockdown last May.
Not one person in the street has acknowledged them since.
The Gardai have no powera whatsoever here to do anything as regards large gatherings and parties. They can only ask that people would disperse and go home.
Nearly 900 people gathered in a car park on Saturday night in Cork.
People are doing whatever the hell they want. At least over there you have a way to control these situations.

Lol. You've been caught-out being a bit of a knob and you're trying to slam it in reverse with the old 'it was a joke gig'. :D

It's ok. Just wear it!

Agreed. But I'd have nicked some of your fries and had a bite out of your burger too.
 
It comes from never really getting involved in fights on these boards, like ever, but having seen the dynamic numerous times.

someone I know in the class A business used to pay the police for info etc. The whole system is rigged. Selfish bastards should be grassed up.

In that case dont get involved?

I hope you tossed them in the bin..
Yuck. To think anyone took fries...potential for passing on viral load right there.
