Imo "Cower" was the appropriate word to use. I would like to see how some of these mask wearing fuckers would have coped with German bombs raining down on them in the war.
Those bastard things did kill people with no regard to age or any other factor. Unlike the "killer plague".
I take your sentiment,but some people actively look for something to get outraged about .
You see it on here with various provocations. IW is always trying to start a fight with MK or numbers trying to bait you, Palerider and Terry.
They must enjoy it is the only conclusion. I sometimes use unnecessary sarcasm and a bit of healthy rudeness where it's not needed. Can't be helped.
We should see it for what it is,loose bantz.
If people want to start an argument they will start an argument. I'm sure we've all been in pubs where punches have been thrown, blood spilt, maybe even arrests made because some people aren't intelligent enough to sort their differences out in a civilsed manner. The internet's different in so far as spotty loners and life's losers can sit in darkened rooms, away from the world and tap away at their keyboards because, well, there is no immediate threat to them. Some people will bite at criticism they get online. Others won't. Rightly or wrongly I've always held the belief that if someone criticises something I've done, to my face it's worth listening to. In fact it fucking well should be listened to. But some blockhead with an IQ less than his or her shoe size isn't worth giving the time of day to.
But this guy is a politician. He is in the public eye. And , imo, in that one moment he showed more leadership quality than the useless blond headed wanker has demonstrated during the entire so called covid crisis.
And whilst I get your point, politicians, or for that matter anyone in the public eye, can't indulge in "loose bantz" like the rest of us. If you or I say something nobody gives a flying one because we're, well, simply not important in the scheme of things. But Sajid Javid is a member of the cabinet and what he says is more relevant.
