I've always thought from the start of it that UK does not have the policing power to deal with this sort of thing. Ok so we have the army but their strength lies in logistics and killing people. I don't believe they are trained to deal appropriately with random members of the public. Getting things done on a logistical basis like sorting a bombed out bridge, weapons training and some heavy vehicle responsibility. Are they trained for professional and appropriate interaction with Mr Ordinary who has started behaving more normally now it's been a month? I don't think so. Don't forget Mr Ordinary pays their wages! The trouble is we used to get shot for disagreeing with the boss. The good news is that most just get sacked these days. This shows how the British government has treated its people: "There were outbreaks of dysentery, typhus and cholera in the muddy, flooded trenches. 'Trench foot' was a common complaint caused by prolonged immersion in water. Soldiers' feet would swell up, turn blue and sometimes develop gangrene and require amputation. Today the expression 'to shoot yourself in the foot' is taken to suggest a foolish accident. In fact there was nothing accidental about it; deliberately destroying your own foot was a sacrifice worth making if it got you into a hospital bed and away from the front line and probably death. Other soldiers might be driven insane by the noise, fear, sleeplessness and gore. But the treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder was still in its infancy back then and over three hundred soldiers were shot at dawn for 'cowardice' or 'desertion'. Early in 1916 compulsory military service was brought in for all men between eighteen and forty-one for the first time in British history. Three thousand conscientious objectors were put into 'labour camps' and a small number of Marxist objectors were put in the army, where they were court-martialled and sentenced to death for refusing to obey orders."

Uk still heading for the worst death toll in Europe...
I'll go back to my field now...
Well, so far 20,000 people have died, and in a population of 68,000,000 that equates to 1 in 3,400, and almost all of those who have died would have died in the near future anyway. While any death is sad, a balance has to be made against the enormous suffering and hardship which will be caused by the lockdown.

Oh ... you said goodnight and disappeared ... exeunt stage left ... a brief hiatus only. Disagreeing is done regularly and on most threads. At times you appear to post ONLY when the opportunity to swoop in and deliver 'a cutting rebuke' occurs. Perhaps I have misread your actions and I if so I'm sorry. Rog

Rog I couldn't give a shit whether you are sorry or not for disagreeing with me or not liking me. This is TB and as long as the personal abuse remains under control then long may we be allowed to disagree with each other.
