Wasn't there something like this in America , called prohibition .

[fender62]

gulliver1, prohibition mmm didnt work out well did it, people will only take so much...

Some are going beyond and above their call of duty to ensure "experts" are no longer respected by the general public as a source of advice.

What percentage of the population are going to swallow that guff knowing that past pandemics passed, by folk getting on with life rather than cowering in fear ?

[fender62]

Old_Geezer, exactly..some of us have been around long enough to smell a rat...and it stinks

It’s all getting a bit silly now - I wear a mask whenever I go out as I suffer from asthma and really don’t fancy getting sick, but I can go into my local Lidl or Co-op and they are both packed, with at least 50% of customers not wearing one and staff don’t say a word.

I’m glad I’ve got 7 demijohns of wine on the go ;)

[Smowball]

Have you really? Lol

I think alcohol has already been restricted on A/B.
That was the most boring Sat night on here ever.

Woofgang is definitely a Johnson sychophant. Yes boris, no Boris, certainly Boris, oh of course Boris. As I've said before, we are going to have to live with this virus. Control the virus? How? How has it been controlled so far? It hasn't. But it is not the killer that it was six months ago, whilst at the same time the infection rate is rising. Nobody will control CV-19.

//Nobody will control CV-19//

I agree.... as does a scientist speaking on BBC radio the other day.

Now I hear children are banned from singing Happy Birthday for fear of spreading the virus. Potty!

Make up your mind gulliver, you like to make disparaging comments to some who you consider have had a drink and then you post about how boring it is without them. You can't have it both ways!!

09.32,Haven't you got a knitting circle to go to today.

I scrolled all the way down the page in the link and, near the foot of the page is a little section on 'Boris's Busybodies'. In it a 'Street Warden' is shown entering a shop and asking the counter assistant if there have been any problems. She replies that everybody has been doing what they should be doing. Neither the SW or the shop assistant are wearing masks. Wonder if they're both exempt? :-/

[iluvmargie]

9:36 I don't knit.

It went well above health concerns ages ago, just about control by the power mad elites.

Yes, they did it in the US, it is widely believed that is what enabled the Mafia to get a strangle hold in the country.

I think the Turk has had it. He needs to go, but who has the bottle to do it?

[naomi24]

Who's the Turk?

[allenlondon]

Drink will kill you. It will dull your brain. It will enrich the brewers.

Life without alcohol is calm, peaceful, hangover-free. Wonderful.

Try it?

[youngmafbog]

Johnson.

[naomi24]

Why is he 'the Turk'?

[aelmpvw]

doesn't boris have turkish ancestors?
