"Sounds horrible...so many people having end of tether meltdowns these days but still no excuse for abuse " No there isn't it's not nice to hear for anyone the older folk looked a bit shaken | |||
| |||

"Shouldn't have even been in the shop...its law to wear a face covering " Unless they are unable to and that’s where the issue lies, they don’t need to prove they’re unable to. | |||

"Shouldn't have even been in the shop...its law to wear a face covering Unless they are unable to and that’s where the issue lies, they don’t need to prove they’re unable to. " You can be asked to show proof and if you can't then you can be refused entry to shop | |||

"I saw no mention of abuse!" He was shouting and swearing and upsetting people in the shop that counts as abuse | |||
"I saw no mention of abuse!" Sounds wildly inappropriate even if it's not abuse. | |||

"Its people like the man you mentioned that need to do a shift on the covid wards. Until you've held the hand of a patient as they die alone due to family not being allowed in/having family who can't go to hospital due to them shielding etc. Or they've sat next to a person who's struggling to breath and utterly terrified. Or theyve done a 12 hour shift in full PPE and spoke to the other staff on the ward. To some it is still "just a cold" and luckily if your a healthy person, thats all it may be if you catch it. But for others it isn't and its utterly heartbreaking. " My thoughts exactly  | |||

"A guy was in front of me in a supermarket a few weeks ago insisting that it can't be real, as he knows nobody who has been infected, thus it's not everywhere or anywhere. All restrictions must be stopped, so his business can earn the money it should. There really are some very deluded and poor of thinking people around. I dread to think how they have been living. " I don't know anyone who's suffered from childhood malnutrition, it clearly doesn't exist  | |||
"He sounds like a real gem. Unfortunately, catching the virus is the only thing that will change the opinion of people like this. I wish they could sign a waiver to say they wouldn’t expect any medical intervention if their time came. Lou x " Sadly you are right | |||
| |||
"A month ago I was doing a pharmacy run for someone who is shielding, and upon entering the shopping mall a bloke almost jumped on me shouting, "take off your mask, you sheep. There is no virus. It's lies. Be free" I remonstrated, telling him to say the to my friends with long covid, my friend who lost her grandfather and uncle to covid... But he was adamant and even started shouting that my friends are liars and trust I was attacking his freedom. Security kicked him out. Apparently he does it every day, Waits at one of the entrances and has a go at people wearing masks. Nutter." So its ok for people to have a go at others who refuse to wear masks??? | |||
"this is one of the drawbacks of having the societal safety net of wetherspoons shut down. " I like your thinking! | |||

Apparently he does it every day, Waits at one of the entrances and has a go at people wearing masks. Nutter. So it's ok for people to have a go at others who refuse to wear masks???" it is in my book 100% okay! I confess I have been close to thumping some of the refusers I have met recently in queues at checkouts. You know the type ' It's alright ..I exempt!' showing no evidence of exemption or even trying to . Some are of course.. though I suggest the majority are not! For clarity in this instance refuser= those who insist they don't have to wear face protection simply because they don't want to not because they are medically / psychologically unable to .. big difference All this ' woke' stuff about what's right and wrong and being nice to eachother .. time we stopped . It is really very dangerous to allow things like this to go on .. Have you noticed? people use that phrase more and more recently ? 'So its okay to ... ?' expecting it to be some kind of warning to someone not to actually speak their mind. That person then feels a pang of guilt over something ( which they shouldn't be doing in most cases ) and then change what they said just to keep everyone happy. Cue Overload of ' Somas' everywhere! Its just reverse psychology though / guilt-tripping .. gone sadly are the days where a man could stand up and say what he felt to whoever he wished to about whatever he wished to. there was a time where two men would argue, fall out punch each other a bit then wipe their mouths and have a pint .. I miss those days  less psychology and more living life and I argue we were the better men for it!
Instead, now we have to hold it all in and deal with things in a nice passive-aggressive kind of way which I suggest is more detrimental than anything.
So again the short answer is .. yes it is alright to do that to people who refuse to wear a mask and frankly the same applies to those who won't do their humanitarian duty and have a vaccination when they are able to as well ! and those people without masks coughing and spluttering near my as Im trying to shop who I then see having a fag or on their vapes outside Sainsbury's saying they are ' exempt' are on borrowed time!
yah boo sucks to the woke generation!
Ah! .. I actually feel better about that
pint ?

"So yesterday I was out shopping and a guy was being served, he was very loudly saying that be has never wore a mask that he gets tested weekly,has never tested positive to then went on to say that he's not having the vaccine they can stick it up their ass were his words. I don't know how the lady serving him didn't react to that I was struggling Now I know it is a choice but he caused an upset in the shop that was not needed a few older people seemed upset by it " 1. it sounds like he was having a private conversation, some people just have loud voices like myself, it's not meant. 2. he wasn't denying covid, mask for instance clearly state on the box not for covid & that's surgical ones, so your cloth ones are useless 3.he may have a disablity that he just hasn't mentioned. there is no legal need to prove. 4. he gets tested every week, so defo no a denier 5. he is allowed to have doubts over the vaccine the problem here seems to be more that you didn't like what he was saying because his view is different to yours, not that he was being abusive at all. there is a difference. old folk are getting their vaccines so protecting themselves, they don't need to worry about him. and as for those who say he should be denied medical treatment for his views, I do hope you keep your own bodies in absolute tip top condition, live in a sterile plastic bubble and never have an accident of any kind! a silly blanket statement. | |||

"Surley it's his right to not want the vaccination?

"The world is getting crazy a culture of fear spred by the goverment is turning folks into a them and us society. If you look in history once fear takes hold and you get to them and us it starts small but enlarges to religious intolersnce racial intolerance and sexual intolerance. Eg southafrica . Meanmar muslims . Gremans and jews.trumpists and non trumpists . I fear the worlds gone mad. In a society whear we all feel free to express an opinion you dont have fear taking over" Meanmar and the Gremans aside, I can't speak to anyone else but I feel very little fear about the current situation and I thoroughly embrace inclusivity... that is, everyone who can get vaccinated should get vaccinated and all of us will be able to get back to some form of normality. Everyone! Can't get more inclusive than that. | |||

Meanmar muslims . Gremans and jews.trumpists and non trumpists . I fear the worlds gone mad. In a society whear we all feel free to express an opinion you dont have fear taking over" That's a very good point. But a few things to consider. Is it really the govt "spreading fear" or is it the media and those with agendas? Let's be Frank... The govt haven't been able to open a bag of oranges properly yet so to suggest they have a coordinated plan to spread fear to some kind of end is laughable. As for freedom to express opinions without fear.. There's been some good threads on here about that. I tend to agree with you but there are many who fear one person's opinion is another persons repression or insult or ism and should be legally prevented. Its a good debate. | |||

You Will have been taught in school but some people seem to forget even the most simple things they were taught in science lessons. In this case it's rather simple.

Or did i miss something. It makes no odds to anyone else if they get the vax or not, it protects you! Herd immunity =65% vaxed Are we just gonna draw a line down uk, stick vaxer & non vax'd (including those who cant)! Please get a grip as some one said further up this has been rammed in our faces every min of every day for a year now! That is fear mongering, it is abuse (see domestic abuse particularly the mental abuse of how control is gained & kept by fear). This is why china filters it media to what it wants its citz to see/hear! Forcing citizens is their forty too...just so ya remember. Every channel both tv,radio, social media is covered in covid media. I heard a woman this morn on a talk show say she handcuffs herself to her dog because she's that scared it will be stolen! (Following pages on social media keeps it in her face & drives the fear) Also see - kids no longer playing on streets - maddie mccann Ww2 - all started with simple divisions like this, forcing those different to wear a visual badge (a star), covid we have 2, not wearing a mask or a sunflower lanyard (both visual markers of different) Black lives - had to reverse the stigma to be accepted (still not fulky acxepted) Travellers/gypsies - same as all comminuities some good, some bad. No sites left cos they are all retail parks, no public facilities (toilets), cops force them to move in an hour or be towed (cant clean up then can ya) - see pontins release doc. China - founded on fear Russia - founded by fear Most countries not in west -founded by fear! Just take a look at what you are saying...dismissing free speech because some one may have got offended... you cant please all of the people, all of the time. | |||

"How does it affect anyone if i don't take a vaccine. If the vaccine protects you then how does me not taking it affect you? " If you don't take the vaccine, and then you catch covid, it has a far higher chance of mutating while you're carrying it, and for the new mutant strain that you've created to pass on to others. This is how the new strains have come about: they've each come from someone who caught the virus, inside whose body it mutated. There is no reason to think that it wouldn't do that while you were carrying it. So, if you're vaccinated, your immune system is MUCH more able to disarm the virus if (or when) you come into contact with it, before it has a chance to mutate. You also *might* die or suffer debilitating physical effects from covid if you catch it. If you have the vaccine, those effects are much less likely to occur. So, your question ("how does it affect *you* if *I* don't have the vaccine?") Has a couple of strong answers: if you don't take the vaccine, you might become very ill (and possibly die), which obviously affects all the people who know and love you, and/or you might unwittingly create a new strain, which, as we've seen many times now, could cause whole countries to get locked down again. Oh and your new variant might kill 100,000 people. I honestly don't understand why anybody wouldn't have the vaccine, unless they were extremely prone to anaphylaxis, which seems to be the only reason for not having it. | |||
Some people think that are clever not having it. | |||

" Free speech or not it is just not nice, a lot of people have been majorly affected by all this. Never said anything about pleasing people he just shouldn't have upset people. So we can have free speech as long as it doesn't upset anybody?" Free speech has nothing to do with this. Legally he may say it. That's free speech. He would not be prosecuted for what he said. The episode sounded like bad manners, at least. People "should" behave civilly in public, even if they won't be arrested for not doing so. | |||

I honestly don't understand why anybody wouldn't have the vaccine, unless they were extremely prone to anaphylaxis, which seems to be the only reason for not having it." problem is that these are unseen and uncontrollable things that happen in nature, even with a vaccine you get variants as you do with no vax or having anitibodies...you cannot stop it entirely and I will not hide away for ever because of something I cannot control! I can control my own movements, hygiene and interactions but I cannot control what a micro organism does inside my body EVER! no body can! as for someone not wanting the vaccine, given this guy takes tests he's obviously well aware of what covid does, the difference is his opinion on what is best practice. masks have always been questions for many reasons, many them not being used properly by reusing them, using the same one all day/days on end, in multiple places, taking on and off, not sterilizing them before reuse, not washing hands after touching them, proper disposal (not on the damn street!) not being fit for covid (says so on the box). the vast majority do not use them properly nor are most fit for purpose (covid) so they are just a false sense of security. I can see his point of view. as for him being loud...Brian Blessed for instance have a very loud booming voice....he cannot help it, mine is loud because I spent most of my time giving teaching instructions over distance, hooves, wind and rain. it's not done intentionally. I have 2 volumes loud (to everyone else) & silent, there's no in between | |||
"A month ago I was doing a pharmacy run for someone who is shielding, and upon entering the shopping mall a bloke almost jumped on me shouting, "take off your mask, you sheep. There is no virus. It's lies. Be free" I remonstrated, telling him to say the to my friends with long covid, my friend who lost her grandfather and uncle to covid... But he was adamant and even started shouting that my friends are liars and trust I was attacking his freedom. Security kicked him out. Apparently he does it every day, Waits at one of the entrances and has a go at people wearing masks. Nutter. So it's ok for people to have a go at others who refuse to wear masks??? it is in my book 100% okay! I confess I have been close to thumping some of the refusers I have met recently in queues at checkouts. You know the type ' It's alright ..I exempt!' showing no evidence of exemption or even trying to . Some are of course.. though I suggest the majority are not! For clarity in this instance refuser= those who insist they don't have to wear face protection simply because they don't want to not because they are medically / psychologically unable to .. big difference All this ' woke' stuff about what's right and wrong and being nice to eachother .. time we stopped . It is really very dangerous to allow things like this to go on .. Have you noticed? people use that phrase more and more recently ? 'So its okay to ... ?' expecting it to be some kind of warning to someone not to actually speak their mind. That person then feels a pang of guilt over something ( which they shouldn't be doing in most cases ) and then change what they said just to keep everyone happy. Cue Overload of ' Somas' everywhere! Its just reverse psychology though / guilt-tripping .. gone sadly are the days where a man could stand up and say what he felt to whoever he wished to about whatever he wished to. there was a time where two men would argue, fall out punch each other a bit then wipe their mouths and have a pint .. I miss those days less psychology and more living life and I argue we were the better men for it!
Instead, now we have to hold it all in and deal with things in a nice passive-aggressive kind of way which I suggest is more detrimental than anything.
So again the short answer is .. yes it is alright to do that to people who refuse to wear a mask and frankly the same applies to those who won't do their humanitarian duty and have a vaccination when they are able to as well ! and those people without masks coughing and spluttering near my as Im trying to shop who I then see having a fag or on their vapes outside Sainsbury's saying they are ' exempt' are on borrowed time!
yah boo sucks to the woke generation!
Ah! .. I actually feel better about that
pint ?
Ok so next time somebody has a go at me for exercising my right not to wear a mask, i can feel like thumping them,,,,, ah i feel so much better now "You could try .. but I would say you would be in the minority! if you are not allergic, have medical reasons then frankly you haven't got a ' right' as far as I'm concerned .. because by doingh what you do you take away my right to live a healthy life.. the questioin is who is the more selfish and which action if reversed would benefit society more ? | |||

"last year while waiting for a bus a man at the bus stop starting ranting and raving at myself and another man there.we both had our masks on,and the man was being abusive for no reason.asking us to take off our masks and that we were total idiots for wearing them.the abusive man didnt have a mask on.Me and the other man moved away from the abusive man who eventually moved on to another bus stop still ranting. " Would it be classed as “ranting and raving” if he had a mask on, but was having a go at someone who wasn’t wearing a mask?

I don't know how the lady serving him didn't react to that I was struggling Now I know it is a choice but he caused an upset in the shop that was not needed a few older people seemed upset by it " Just ignore them, more to be pitied than scolded. I don't care what anyone thinks as long as they don't shove it in my face. Another subject but similar to said person trying to express his views without invitation. At airport checking in, minding my own business, guy at counter giving lady a tough time about delay and his important business meeting etc. after brow beating the lady on check in he turned around and explained to all in ear shot his problems with a smug grin on his face, knowing well the poor lady couldn't say too much.

Those are very easy to do to the point kids do it in the playground to the ki that is just different. why? because they fear and do not understand them. it's the exact same here except the difference/segregating method is those with or without masks. we had to stop the forceful attempts of MAKING people wear a badge or sunflower lanyard for exactly this reason. if you want the extreme end of this check the nazi's making jews with yellow stars..same thing, visibly marking someone as different. it is the exact same with vaccine passport, legal cannot be done for domestic uses. now if they do that on their own that is their choice. | |||

I'm exempt ok and I dont agree with you at all on this You may or may not be exempt, it's not my place to say, but, from what you cite yourself: any place where masks are mandated, the staff have a duty to ensure that the law is complied with. and they are because they legally cannot challenge anyone pas the point of the word "exempt" because as told to you many times it breeds discrimination and segregation. Those are very easy to do to the point kids do it in the playground to the ki that is just different. why? because they fear and do not understand them. it's the exact same here except the difference/segregating method is those with or without masks. we had to stop the forceful attempts of MAKING people wear a badge or sunflower lanyard for exactly this reason. if you want the extreme end of this check the nazi's making jews with yellow stars..same thing, visibly marking someone as different. it is the exact same with vaccine passport, legal cannot be done for domestic uses. now if they do that on their own that is their choice. " The original point I was responding to was the idea that face covering laws were not law. They clearly are, as shown from the government site that the poster himself cited. The fact that exemptions exist does not make it not law. It makes it more challenging to enforce in a sensitive manner. It doesn't mean that it's not law. (If exemptions invalidate law, does that mean murder is legal? Self defence exists as a defence) The issue of delicately handling confidential medical or disability information cannot be conflated with "vaccine passports", which are about choices individuals make. Any of this is as comparable to the Holocaust as Christchurch, New Zealand is within walking distance of Helsinki, Finland. | |||

"Shouldn't have even been in the shop...its law to wear a face covering No it's not law its legislation only shops that say its mandatory are breaking the law as some people are exempt from wearing g them https://www.parliament.uk/site-information/glossary/legislation/#:~:text=Legislation%20is%20a%20law%20or,of%20making%20a%20new%20law.

I'm not involved, but I've read several "lawyer insight" pages on employment law re vaccines, and the tone has changed a lot recently. | |||

"So yesterday I was out shopping and a guy was being served, he was very loudly saying that be has never wore a mask that he gets tested weekly,has never tested positive to then went on to say that he's not having the vaccine they can stick it up their ass were his words. I don't know how the lady serving him didn't react to that I was struggling Now I know it is a choice but he caused an upset in the shop that was not needed a few older people seemed upset by it " Ahh yes, Darwinism at its best. Knew one of them in the first lockdown, bolshy gobshite in his 70's. He didn't need to wear a mask for the the second or third lockdown, thankfully the initial covid outbreak saw to that. There are those heavily relying on that we 'may' achieve some herd immunity, one, it is not guaranteed and two, they will still catch it and will suffer badly or mortally. | |||

We weren't even advised to wear them until mid May. They became compulsory in supermarkets 24 July. | |||

"A month ago I was doing a pharmacy run for someone who is shielding, and upon entering the shopping mall a bloke almost jumped on me shouting, "take off your mask, you sheep. There is no virus. It's lies. Be free" I remonstrated, telling him to say the to my friends with long covid, my friend who lost her grandfather and uncle to covid... But he was adamant and even started shouting that my friends are liars and trust I was attacking his freedom. Security kicked him out. Apparently he does it every day, Waits at one of the entrances and has a go at people wearing masks. Nutter." Watch out for the next pandemic - mental health. | |||
"Surley it's his right to not want the vaccination? I didn't realise we where living in a dictatorship Nope it isn't his right.. Or we could argue he is restrict g every else of their right to stay healthy? Does the vaccine not keep you healthy no? Surely if you believe it does then you should have no problem with someone not taking it if they wish not to for whatever reason I understand many people don't think about anyone beyond themselves, but choosing not to take the vaccine affects other people. It is a community issue. How does it affect anyone if i don't take a vaccine. If the vaccine protects you then how does me not taking it affect you? " Like someone said earlier, you need to educate yourself before posting stupid comments | |||
"Shouldn't have even been in the shop...its law to wear a face covering Unless they are unable to and that’s where the issue lies, they don’t need to prove they’re unable to. You can be asked to show proof and if you can't then you can be refused entry to shop" proof is hard though for some of the reasons. That said Mrs is exempt on a few reasons and wears her fucking mask proudly. | |||
