Why are you so mad about this?
"Screw Sir Tom! Screw the government and the people and businesses and the queen and the media and the military and anyone else who found joy and pride in an old man doing a tiny deed with a modest goal and sparking a sense of hopefulness and national pride and unity during the early days of a declared global pandemic! I held the door for an old lady the other day and I didnt get a medal "~Thork.
They'll change the cause like they change their underwear. What always remains the same is that its them trying to get attention.

It should also be mentioned that despite the advice being to stay at home, self isolate and generally behave yourself if you are old and weak, Captain Tom ignored all that advice and took a holiday to Barbados where he promptly caught coronavirus from a black man and then died ... ironically in the hands of the very NHS that raised money for. Karma is on form this week.
It is also another mass hysteria. Like Coronavirus.

Propagating racist and anti-semitic viewpoints is though!
I wasn't aware mass hysteria could kill millions of people.
Bunching your knickers over a benign disease is madness.
Quote from: JSS on February 04, 2021, 05:41:10 PMI wasn't aware mass hysteria could kill millions of people.Well its put millions behind in their cancer treatment around the world, upped suicides, reduced the amount of exercise people can take as all the leisure centres/gyms etc are closed, upped the amount of junk food and alcohol being consumed and this is nothing to speak of the damage to education, jobs and the economy. Bunching your knickers over a benign disease is madness.
The conviction will get overturned on appeal.

Uncontrolled, it could have a hundred million dead.
We didn't lock down for ebola. We didn't lock down for AIDS.
The response was obvious. Shield the weak. Allow them to hide away if they choose to do so ... let everyone else get on with their lives.
4) Will it kill more than 5% of the population?
