They're led by Piers Corbyn (Bother of Jeremy), who's not quite in the same league as David Icke, but isn't far off... 

Piers was one of 19 arrested.

 

What was interesting is that if you looked at the placards on display, they showed - as is common in the US protests - a wide range of conspiracy-theory talking points, and many of them were clearly aimed at a US audience, e.g. I saw one attacking Dr Fauci and Bill Gates.

I saw another one which - amongst other things - demanded "No" to "forced vaccines" and "being tracked and chipped": for those not already aware of it, this references a debunked anti-vaxer/deep-state conspiracy theory that claims Bill Gates is pushing to force everyone to be injected with his own vaccine, which will contain a tracking micro-chip in order to build a "Global Surveillance State"... 

I think a bit of context is due here, Piers Corbyn is as mad as a box of frogs and I'm sure Tommy is right, I have a mad aunt

That was the worst briefing I've seen yesterday(now). There's beyond belief and there was that. Talk about tax avoidance and evasion. Williamson - human mogadon. And Jenny Harries needs Keith Harris - she's a sold out ventriloquists' dummy.

it's crazy Velvet, billionaires have lost 54 billion in two months, get the plebs back to work and a little bit of herd immunity will rid us of a few.  I hope to see Jenny Harris in the Hague in the not too distant future, she is a liar and an embarrassment to her profession IMO Velvet.

Hope you are well

Tommy Corbyn‏ @TommyCorbyn

 

Can I just say; Piers Corbyn speaks for Piers Corbyn and only Piers Corbyn. ...Every family has a Piers I'm sure

Just to be clear here, I totally agree with you (and Tommy). 

I only mentioned the relationship in passing partly FYI, but also because I'm sort-of glad that Jeremy is no longer leader of the Labour Party. I guarantee that if he was still leader, Piers' actions would be held against him, and - by extension - the Labour Party...

I understand it is not compulsory...…..and that parents have the CHOICE of whether to send their children to these open schools...……..assuming that they DO actually open!

It was the bbc news, a former Supreme Court judge, he doesn’t agree with any of the lockdown, people should be responsible for there own actions and if he wants to go to the theatre he should, those that have died from the virus would have died soon anyway!  🤬🤬🤬

He didn’t mention those and the interviewer was very soft on him. I would have called him out on everything he said

Is it optional?

I know my friend is refusing - goodness knows the consequences

Or maybe damn the consequences!!!

Very few are going to school on 1st June.

If it happens, which is highly doubtful.

I believe if you get to page 50 of some obscure document that no-one's ever heard off, it confirms that it is optional.

How can we expect 4/5 year olds to social distance when most retail outlets are closed because adults cannot social distance?

when everywhere is open then send children to school

I'll believe it when I see it.

That very point wasn't answered by Williamson and Harries on Saturday

Are you referring to this latest comment Velvet?

"President Donald Trump has argued it is "a badge of honour" that the US has the world's highest number of confirmed Covid-19 infections".

State of this....and on another two-week break, lardy arsed idiot can't be bothered to comb his hair let alone work!

Cars from "all over the UK" have been seen in traffic gridlock in north Devon, police said.

So, we seem to have a lot of people being less than sensible. Let's hope this does not lead to an increase in cases

Southend beach Wednesday

Not proffering this as an excuse for some of the crowded beach scenes in Scotland on Wednesday, but wondering if the reason behind it was the same as the scenes on beaches in England, IE Boris saying you could travel further and go out more?

As far as I can gather, a lot of people, on both sides of the border were not aware that Boris' decree only applied to England.

@Extremely Fluffy Fluffy Thing posted:

 IE Boris saying you could travel further and go out more?

 

 Yes, that could well be a large part of the reason why. Although, everyone on the beaches should still be aware of social distancing, therefore, I can see a massive lack of personal responsibility being demonstrated. 

Why shouldn't we panic when we have Cummings (with CovID symptoms), sick wife and child travelling over 250 miles during lockdown and Downing Street trying to convince us it was ESSENTIAL travel because he needed childcare? Isn't that one of the issues that the government is supposed to have got contingency plans for?
