You might not like the band, nor the track (I love them both) but there's a powerful message in the chorus, let's not forget it

A post by a Lidl assistant on local FB, they were trying to impose rationing and were challenging the greedy at the tills, one utter twat spat on his hands and smeared all his extra goods. Thatcher would have been proud of the greedy twats, toryism in action, look after yourself, bugger the key workers. What an absolutely stupid comment,politics has bugger all to do with what happened.Nasty folk are nasty folk whoever they vote for !

It is possible to be polite without aggression though, even just mildly saying to that angry person in the queue that "it isnt the till operators fault" gives the staff on the tilll a little more heart to continue.
Trouble begins if that mild politeness is met with aggression, then I agree its difficult not to accelerate it.

Most people are decent though so if a little help was required, I'm sure it would be forthcoming. It wouldn't do any harm for a few miscreants to learn a painful lesson. Loads of publicity about it afterwards wouldn't be a bad thing either. Spread the word, this behaviour is no longer tolerated. It's either that, or just let things continue as they are. I know my position.

Perhaps, hopefully, we'll get to a point when the most hoarding, selfish freezer cramming rude barstewards are at home isolating, having worked out that if they don't start making a serious dent in their stocks they'll have throw it away or having contracted the virus as they elbowed their way to the food. Then I can pop out for a bag of rice.

If we are realistic and look to Italy and Spain, we see they were perhaps a bit late shutting everything apart from supermarkets and confining everyone to their homes. My friend in Italy says the only excuse to be outside is to visit a supermarket. EVERY other business is closed. He was challenged on his way the supermarket yesterday by the army.
We are 2 weeks behind that and they think they acted too late. By the end of this week, if not a lot sooner, it'll be the same here. You won't be able to get crap off ebay and amazon delivered. Forget the DIY project unless you have all the materials to hand because you will not be nipping out to B&Q. A great deal of this is from Monday or effectively right now. There really isn't time to work out the fine details as speed is the essence.
So... this thread will be moot because those situations won't happen, there will be cops or army in the supermarkets to severely arrest anyone getting bolshy. I'm all for civil liberties, love a good conspiracy theory but even I would be doing the above if I was in charge. I think people have got used to the idea.
cue conspiracy theorists...

My younger sister is in France at her very small children's paternal grandparents home, with her mad husband who has just come out of a psychiatric hospital. They have not left the property for the last week. There is a garden which is useful. Unfortunately she is an example of the exodus from urban areas as they have a flat near Paris. Who can blame her though as having two kids under the age of 3 is -quite stressful-. However the large scale move away from urban areas is going to cause problems. social as well as medical problems. Other sister is on a MHA section 2 currently (another one) so she might be ok I'm not sure if they redirect psychiatric care staff to physical care in an emergency. It seems to me this is a burglars paradise apart from anything else... One of my boats was checked over the other day but as I have nothing worth nicking they didn't nick anything. Anyone going into one of my boats would immediately assume someone had already ransacked it Crimewave anyone ? None of that is made up. All true. A family of nutters. And I'm sitting in the sun in the most beautiful location watching geese having sex.

Well if there is, I'm afraid chaps like you with many boats/houses etc are not going to be able to be everywhere at once and will be the victims. Everyone else will be at their only residence with a baseball bat under the bed. There's a certain rightness about that if you think capitalism needs a good kicking.

I've got several boats but none of them are worth anything. If anyone wants one just have it.
Always been my approach to life don't own anything anyone else would want. I don't lock anything up. If someone thieves from me then it is simply and indication that there are some thieves around.
There are some people who have considerable wealth and like to show it. I would worry about them if I could be arsed but I can't.

You seem to have more than your fair share, but Geese? Is it so interesting? Is foxy just deliberately unpleasant or can't he help himself? I think he could need treatment. I shall not enter into any conversation with him.

I shall not enter into any conversation with him. I thought it was incredibly interesting actually. Anyway. What have you done with Evangeline as she seems to have lost her satellite phone.

I'd be a bit pissed off if someone nicked the actual boat though but only because we have nowhere else to live. Possessions are a ball and chain.
