A "few cases" may not bother you however: "Hilda Cubbon, 80, said the Isle of Man should "shut down again" until the situation was better in England since coronavirus could "really wipe us out" if it returned to the island." it's people like you who really scare the most vulnerable in our society. With good reason.... Or, maybe people like Hilda need to look at the bigger picture and the greater good of all. I know that’s my elderly relatives mindset 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilda should stay in then with the other vulnerable people and let others who have plenty of years left get on with their lives. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why we can't base silly ideas like "shutting the island down again" around her. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're all for banging on about lockdowns being bad for mental health so they should be avoided etc etc but as soon as having the most vulnerable in our society locked down, which happens to suit your agenda, all of a sudden you're all for them! Pure selfishness.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any event, that 20% of the population have as much right to a decent life as you have.... 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This what you said Bearing in mind 20% of the population are over 65 I wouldn't be too sure of that minority if I were you. Pointing out that 20% is a minority and 80% is a majority who should be taken into account more than the minority who are undoubtedly getting nice pensions and don’t care about unemployed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nom de plume Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 (edited) In amongst the petty bickering refreshing to see Grant Shapps looking to set up U.K. airport testing in an effort to get planes back in the sky & people moving again. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-54452397 I’m sure we’ll consider it in 2030, it’s what the people would want.
