HateMM's.
It seems to me, that the "London South East" boards, (I've frequented the LLOY and IAG and NWG ones) are inundated with people pushing dissention, fear , uncertainty and doubt. (FUD). It almost drains the motive for visiting, though blocking/filtering has been a real boon to maintaining ones sanity and will to live...
Without knowing what these people's (HateMM's included) motives are, makes it difficult to justify this level of subversion but on the points raised if taken on the face of it, it would bring into question what value one places on life, especially the life of others, be they older, infirm or in any way 'different'. There is much to disagree with in what these people say, and as I've not much time, I won't go into all of it, so I will just jot down a few random thoughts, coffee in hand.
The people who some so easily discard have in the main, served our (mine anyway) nation, paying taxes, serving in various national services, bringing up families (who are the future of any community) and making the UK a generally nice place to live. Though these people dying from Covid may have had "underlying conditions" in the majority of cases these are not life threatening, and a good value of life (to me at least) could still be lived.
The ONS publications state "Deaths "due to COVID-19" include only deaths where COVID-19 was the underlying cause of death." So this means that those people would be alive if it were not for Covid19, that's enough justification to me for missing a few nights in the pub, not going to a concert or three or even loosing a few quid in employment. (The last point is based on personal circumstances, though remember the UK is a country of 'lowish' taxation, and if you don't collect it, it can't be shared out in times of need). (I do not agree with this governments handling of the pandemic, though obviously because of different reasons to some here).
In Nazi Germany people were valued at different times by their race, their profession, their health status by their "value to the Reich" and other factors. IT REALLY DOES SEEM TO ME THAT SOME HERE WOULD WISH TO RETURN TO THOSE TIMES.
Was Steven Hawking of less value because of his health status? Was (as it was judged at the time) Alan Turing deserving of his treatment at the hands of other like minded Hateful cretins, even though he had saved millions of people with his war work. (Or even if he had not).
Those who think that way should maybe move to a third world country, where for the cost of a few pounds people are left to die, their bodies ignored to decompose in the streets until swept up by the bin men. After all, this may save these Haters' them a few quid, or put no damper on their social lives. That even those impoverished countries try not to take the Haters' advice is telling in the extreme.
One simply has to ask the motives of these advocators, what drives them. It's certainly not what drives me.
