Arrgh this just makes me angry.
Hairdresser everywhere are closed but this bloke is still cutting footballers hair and defends it by saying everyone is breaking the rule and I have cost to cover.
Then blames the guy for posting it on social media.

Good morning,
I expect to be told that I don't understand how dangerous COVID is, that I don't understand the risks and I think I know the level of abuse that is about to come my way, but I feel that we have long gone past the point where we should be seeing people breaking restrictions as automatically in the wrong.
We should be really trying to understand and address the issues and motivations behind this behaviour and this includes changing our owns minds and saying that yes, actually their actions are reasonable.
The government supported by the media has succeeded in a very successful "divide and conquer" campaign, by offering salary support schemes around 70%-85% of the population has been pretty much unaffected financially over the last 10 months.
Which does of course mean that 15% to 30% have been left with little or no support.
I say 70%-85% because it is one of those numbers that is pretty much impossible to get the correct real world figures for as there are so many reasonable ways to do the counting.
It is very easy if you are one of those unaffected to get very judgemental when those who have been left high and dry for close on a year with their businesses closed and little or no financial support, do anything to try and pay their bills.
Typically the response on the lack of financial support has been that those who are unsupported or marginally supported are tax dodgers or similar who don't deserve any sympathy, rather than the reality.
And then they are told that they should suck up being closed for 10+ months without any income because it is for the good of the country.
During the closures in early 2020 you could even make a strong case for this, but with the number of people now working with official approval, the businesses that are left closed are mostly those that lack political power and are easy targets as their closure is not critical to those working or still not working but being paid anyway.
Keeping these businesses closed is politically useful as it creates an impression of a good strong government doing its best to control the situation and allows the government to keep power's that are "for the public good" even if these closures have little or no effect.
It makes it easy not to question the governments actions and the consequence of those actions because "I am a responsible person helping to prevent the spread of a genuinely harmful virus and this takes priority over everything else". Once you start asking what that "everything else" is and what those consequences are your priorities may change, or they may not.
Of the closed businesses I accept that the pub trade would have been expected to be politically powerful, but there is general public support by those having their salary paid by the government or are allowed to work, that they are getting grants anyway so its no real loss anyway and "oh, it's not my business/job".
There is a little piece by a wet-led pub owner here https://www.morningadvertiser.co.uk...bs-trade-successfully-with-Covid-restrictions which also addresses this issue.

Just in case anyone doubts that really dangerous stuff is still doing the rounds on Facebook, this being shared on FB by a local Homeopath cum Conspiracy Theorist.
The early part is skippable after a minute or so to get the gist, skip to minute 11 for the real conspiracy nut site owner

I’m going to make it as clear as I can to everyone.
This Entire Global Pandemic is a Trojan Horse. The “Virus” is actually the nanotechnology in our bodies and it’s Triggered by 50Hz Frequency (5G)
It’s a switch they can flip to assault people internally and scare the rest into lining up for-
A Global Biometric Implant Agenda.
*ID2020. Bill Hates is the architect and you can read all about it on his website.
That’s what it’s all about. Getting the Software in Every man, woman and child to monitor and control behavior. To generate Real Time Data to be used in the SWS. To make a Cyborg out of humans.
They have been planning this for YEARS and the big players all left a detailed paper trail describing their intentions to do just this. The fact that Bill farking Gates is the man for the job and also the man credited with CREATING the first computer VIRUS is pretty much a smoking gun. Why else would he be the one calling the shots the whole time? Keep in mind he has ZERO medical certification. Coincidentally he steps down as CEO of Microsoft 6 months prior to the Rona.
Do you understand?
MODERNA has admitted their “vaccine” is actually an Operating System. WINDOWS

A group of house party goers in Essex have become the first to 'benefit' from the new £800 fines for those involved in a gathering of more than 15.
Words (almost) fail me to describe the stupidity of their behaviour, but the Essex cops pic indicates lots of soft drinks in the kitchen.
At least the party goers may have been taking their drink driving responsibilities seriously.

Brings to mind a question as currently the law says they can't trade. But they do so then that's an unlawful activity. Wonder if anything was to happen and they had call to claim on insurance. As the actively would be unlawful can't see a claim going down well. Now if they have a mortgage or bank load and they require the insurance in place. Then the £17K won't be the only thing they have to worry about.
