Chekhov Posted August 19, 2022 Author Share Posted August 19, 2022 More Modern Life is becoming more and more (restrictive read rubbish) : Railway Magazine reports that "approval from the Secretary of State for Transport will allow Network Rail to close or modify 37 crossings in Essex, Hertfordshire and the London Borough of Havering. Where a crossing is closed users will be diverted to a suitable alternative route". They do not care if anyone will be inconvenienced by these railway crossings being closed, just so long as there is some possibility it will "keep us all safe". Meanwhile anyone can cross any road (apart from motorways) with no restriction, not that I am arguing for any of the latter. It's cobblers anyway, one wonders if these rail crossing closures simply result in more road crossings being forced upon the hapless pedestrians as they have to find new longer routes round. Or indeed it just encourages people to drive if the walk is significantly further.... 7 hours ago, nikki-red said: Apart from, you didn’t say ‘we couldn’t go swimming’ All your posts were worded ‘I couldn’t go swimming’ meaning you weren’t concerned about anyone else, just yourself. Me being restricted from swimming obviously restricts other people from the same, that goes without saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And your suspicions would be wrong (as usual). Are you referring to this ? Chekhov said : On the other hand, back in Spring 2020, I suspect you would have been one of those clamouring for SF posts saying kids were at no significant risk from Covid to be deleted, am I right ? And when they were deleted by the dictatorial (and incorrect) moderators then in power, were you pleased ? I'll bet you were, regardless of the extra stress and worry on parents of perpetuating the "this virus is indiscriminate" cobblers. If so I am pleased to hear it, though back in April 2020 I do not remember you, or many others to be fair, supporting posts saying kids were at no significant risk from Covid. Unfortunately we cannot check back as I believe SF have deleted the entire thread and therefore all the posts, is that right ? I can remember one idiot saying something like "a child has died of Covid" like that implied kids are at significant risk (though it was almost certainly with Covid anyway). How wonderful to unnecessarily worry thousands of parents, I hope they were/are proud of their contribution. The world really went MAD, and it has yet to fully recover.....

I demand more seals in houses. Perfectly safe, we should get some. Edited August 19, 2022 by sibon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
