all the news photographers have put away their wide angle lenses for the shots of empty shelves and now have their long telephoto lens to forshorten the view of people in parks and footpaths to make it look like a bunch of idiots on top of each other. It is possible to go to parks and seafronts and maintain social distancing and the pictures of police moving on individuals sitting in isolation in a park just look churlish.
 
Having just driven along the sea front after successfully purchasing some bake beans for the first time in over a month. I noticed plenty of traffic wardens. So far no cars in the suspended bays so it all looks a bit 28 days later.....Which means 3 of the wardens were standing around chatting much closer than the guidelines recommend....Hope they are related.

And for those who don’t know who Lucas Browne is, he is a heavyweight boxer who has fought in the UK numerous times. Well known and the majority of the boxing crowd are an easily lead bunch.

Lucas must have injected that nandrolone straight into his brain this time.

Amir Khan has joined the craze too, also blaming this virus on 5G towers.

I really don’t get the fascination with this 5G conspiracy.

It's the old blame the one you hate idea. A lot of people hate 5G saying it's really bad for you, so there's a massive anti 5G thing building up. So one and now more of them linked it to Covid-19, some even saying it caused Covid-19, which is of course ridiculous, but enough out there fall for it. So that gets them on the hate 5G bandwagon. Don't forget Ebola was blamed on the USA, because lots hate the USA. Every bad major happening in the World, is always blamed on someone or something it has absolutely nothing to do with.

You cant park in any of the bays. Nothing to stop you walking or cycling.....Even a swimmer went by yesterday, which is far to early in the year for me.

Two lads on motorbikes were stopped by plod. When the removed their helmets they were told they were riding to close together.

Oh for sure, that part I understand.

The part that I don’t get, is how people can believe that a frequency can cause all this.

I read yesterday that the Chinese have turned up some worldwide frequency, and that’s the cause of people getting sick.

Of course, you might have thought that if that was the case, then the Chinese person cranking up the dial, would also make themselves sick.

Google a woman called Eileen Welsome......She would disagree with you.

The fact that you have never heard of her means you should ask some serious questions.

There are of course contradictory government messages coming out, with people in the UK (and France though not in Spain) free to go out and exercise (for the time being?).

Even in Spain, as someone with an underlying medical condition, (Type 2 diabetes in my case), the medical advice is that I go for a brisk walk everyday.That's why I walk everywhere when I have to go out to make essential purchases etc.

Its the amount of time people are spending out on their one exercise a day and people still driving to far to places to exercise.
I expect most people take their phones out with them and keep mobile data and positioning switched on. If the phone masts have not been burnt down then 'they' will know where you are.
 
Sadly it seems that some people need to be forced to social distance and the only way this’ll happen is the Govt banning this “exercise”. Maybe some more sharp rises in the death toll or this now going on another month due to people’s stupidity will focus the minds. At the end of the day our police aren’t scary enough for these arseholes. Get the army deployed.

*As someone who has (so far) refused to invest in a mobile phone,I think I'm safe.

*Remember how The Day of the Triffids started though. :Winking:
