Cropper, as you insist on calling me, doesn't live on his keyboard as you seem to do. He has a life. And you referred to me as a keyboard warrior! That is my last word on this.

I don’t know you well enough to use first names, When you start throwing insults online the term generally used is keyboard warrior. I’d have much preferred the last word to be an explanation and to show me where I said the things you accused me of earlier on today when you asked me who the **************** I thought I was 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️
I’ve asked several times yet you fail to show me where it is these comments are written. It’s not much to ask bearing in mind the vitriol you   spat out earlier and what others now seem to be throwing about.

This simply is not correct, since the 1970's the average age of an MP is 50 years of age. According to guidance they are not in the at risk category, those who are at risk should stay home, but lots aren't.

Perhaps he was thinking o the HOL?

Nope 
Not at all 
Zero insults thrown around by myself here, I’ve a different opinion to yours on many things. That’s about it. 

I didn't say anything about throwing insults around.

No you didn’t you chipped in as we often disagree, you saw the opportunity and threw a few quips in 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️no problem with that it’s an open forum at the end of the day. Lively, passionate and at times aggressive debate and opinions are what it should be about. Not much fun or validity on a forum where everyone agrees. Things get taken to another level when you are told to go **************** yourself for no good reason or are referred to as stupid or a clown based upon your opinions. Seemed like a few jumped in and passed comment without actually reading what I did and didn’t say. 
Mr Cropper has been asked numerous times to back up the comments in his outburst but alas he has apparently very conveniently spoke his last word on the matter. Regarding the stupid and clown comments I’m sure the penny has dropped by now 😆🤡🤡.   Water off a ducks back bud I learnt a long time ago not to worry too much about other people’s opinions in particular when it’s people  whom I’ve never met and even more so when those opinions are punched out from behind the safety of a keypad.

Handbags strewn across the floor in here!

Maybe we need a separate thread for covid discussion  

 

 

In other news, a man on a bike went missing in 2017 on a remote road in the Highlands. Last seen passing the Bridge of Orchy hotel at 23.30. Quite a sad story, never any trace of the man, his bike, or his belongings, the ride was for charity, and the family have never found out what happended.

Bridge of Orchy:

Audio: Trump’s full Jan. 2 call with Ga. secretary of state 

January 3, 2021 | 8:33 PM EDT

In a one-hour phone call on Saturday, Jan. 2, 2021 with Georgia election officials, President Trump insisted he won the state and threatened vague legal consequences if the officials did not act. This audio has been edited to remove the name of an individual about whom the president makes unsubstantiated allegations.

Good to see it’s still friendly banter in here not jus tearing chunks out of one another for the fun of it.

I’m no Doctor or expert but this rollercoaster of lockdowns is helping no one in any way shape or form. 

You genuinely believe no one has been helped by the lockdown? That not one persons life has been saved?

 

You really don't think that's a pretty stupid statement?
