Civil Disobedience

[david small]

Boris Johnson is behaving like a Tyrant.
He is implementing restrictions and passing laws
Without the consent of an elected parliament.
As the economy is withering, and mental health and care being
neglected, terminal illnesses being untreated and undiagnosed
when do we as a people say ENOUGH?

[emmie]

you first , they are not laws but rules, break them dont break them its entirely up to you.

[Zacs-Master]

A parliament isn’t, strictly speaking, elected because it includes civil servants and the Lords which we don’t vote for.

[emmie]

i get your post but ranting on a small internet forum is not going to change things. I agree about all you said, i like many am struggling.

[tiggerblue10]

What laws has he passed? Have I missed something?

[emmie]

he hasn't tiggs, they as i said are rulings. One can stick to them or don;t

[bobbinwales]

If its true for Boris its allso true for nicola
Mark and northern Ireland. Certainly Kier supports it so it would get voted but theres no time is there??. Am sure a token vote on monday will see it through, in fact most mps would if wanted Christmas canceled last week if there had been a vote.

Doesn't the law say we have to wear a mask in a shop?

[tiggerblue10]

I know Emmie, I just wandered what David was referring to. Anyway, no worries.

[emmie]

bobbin with all due respect to you, if i chose to hotfoot it down to see family on the south coast, who would know, no more than if you had ten to dinner on CD, no one will know.

[emmie]

it does clarion, but i have seen people without in our local waitrose

When we as a people feel that what is being done is not with the right intention. In every nation governments are trying to find their way through an impossible situation, no one knows how best to deal with this, and maybe it doesn't help to save flags of revolt when unity is the thing we need most. I always say if you don't like it there is a big world out there, go choose a government you like better.

[emmie]

David like most of us is having a meltdown.

[bobbinwales]

By all means do your own thing tho as you'll not be arrested for breaching guidance so go ahead if you dont care enough about the consequences for yourself and others or still dont beleive the dangers of the virus and risks to life and then wonder why nhs is overran because to many other's flout guidance to.

I've seen people without a mask too, but it's nothing to do with me is it? That is something I point out to shop staff who ask me about a mask. It's nothing to do with them is it? They are not law enforcement. What they are doing is sort of taking the law into their own hands. If people don't wear a mask in a shop, then the police should deal with that not, not the staff. Yes, I wear a mask but not over my nose and mouth. It's under my chin. Easier for me. It's the same one I've had since April. It sits well under my chin.

^^Oh change the record! People are allowed to vent if they want to ..

[emmie]

i didn't say i would i did however point out repeatedly that its not policable, none of it is.

[bobbinwales]

Emmie, just seen your 9.11 post. Yes of course no-one will arrest us, a never said they wood. My point was that most mps and all leaders support tighter restrictions now and nicola ect wanted them earlyer so if a vote was held it wouldn't change anything

[iluvmargie]

^ that was to 9:09.

[bobbinwales]

Emmie my posts were not about you. It's just they looked like it because they came after yours

The consequences are a small chance you may catch a virus or give it to others. In the event that occurs the number of cases will rise for a while and then more will be immune than before. And we'll be that bit closer to herd immunity and realising getting back to normal.
