  1. Re: Stupidity will get you locked down, maybe for ever.

    Am I right in thinking that before it's news, something needs to have happened?
    An event.
    Not a possibility, not a trendy opinion, not politicking, an event.

    The best news station is the BBC...
  2. Re: Stupidity will get you locked down, maybe for ever.

    The BBC is guilty of propagating fake news many times over. Just think of the predictions of doom and disaster it made over Brexit.
    And anything good that happened did so "in spite of Brexit".

  3. Stupidity will get you locked down, maybe for ever.

    There is talk about local lockdowns again, and lockdown according to age, but I have a better idea.

    Re: Know-alls who know nothing.

    I think that's a good idea - it would be a refreshing change, and honest.
    "We've never been in this position before, so we're doing the best we can as we go along".
    Most of us would find that...

    And to think I started this thread as a sort of antidote to all the bad news and negativity we were hearing.

    If they only held 1 parrot, the phrase would have been "every monkey holds 1 parrot in both hands"...

    I ask because I read it as "Walter Hombergh", and "Walter" is also a German name.
