Maybe you believe that Dave in Germany got it right because he agreed with your opinion that our present government is akin to what you implied about the Nazi party in the 1930s.

As I said in a previous post...you read into my posts what you want to see.
I did not mention in the post under discussion, the NHS....you did.
As for me saying that Dave in Germany got it right...so didn’t I say that you would disregard his interpretation of my post...and you have just done exactly that.
Taddy...cart on...believe what you want to believe.
See what you want to see in my posts. I feel that I do not need to explain myself to you...especially as you would, as you said ‘consider it to be ‘my get out of jail card’....
I know exactly what I meant...that you do not is of no relevance to me...

My opinions of this situation have not changed from day one, and I do not want to change anyone else's view of things unless they can read something in the nature of links I have posted which makes them decide themselves to change their mind.
And there would be no forum if there were not people who had differing opinions

i have not called you stupid or an idiot for disagreeing at all.

Cashie, maybe I am a bit thick after all because I don't quite understand what you are getting on and what you meant that I was wrong about.

Re: Corona Virus
Monkey Hanger, don't always trust spellcheck anyway as the corrected word is not always what you intended it to be. Sometimes it can make a sentence very funny.

Re: Corona Virus
Cashie, I am a tad insulted at your suggestion that maybe I didn’t bother to look at your posting. I am not that shallow and on the contrary I read all postings and absorb them (except those regarding football, sorry about that) as I am very interested in people’s opinions. I respect them even if I don’t always agree with them. Maybe I have misinterpreted your meaning as to you caring, or otherwise, about those who are not vaccinated, but that is the impression I have got from several of your postings. I think the words ‘cretins’ and ‘idiots’ are two words that often make an appearance. This. to me at least, (and if I have again misunderstood you then my apologies) indicates that you do not hold much respect for anyone who does not have the same opinions as you.
The reason some of the people have not been vaccinated is because they are apprehensive about the unknown. It does not mean we are idiots, or cretins, it means we worry about the possible ill-effects of a vaccine that has not been fully tested. Early on in this thread you also were very sceptical about a vaccine that had been rushed out (posting 1224). That you have got over your concern and been vaccinated is your choice, some of us are still very apprehensive.
I might add (I throw this in for no particular reason other than I like to stir the pot) that I know someone who bought AstraZeneca shares when they were £32 and he tells me they are now worth £82 and rising….. we should be so lucky.

Re: Corona Virus
[QUOTE=DaveinGermany;1255606]Tads mate, calm down, Ma didn't equate the Govt with the Nazi Party, she merely referenced the reason the Nürnberg Code came into being back in 1947 after seeing what Josef Mengele & his cohorts did in the name of "Science & Medical research".
His "research subjects & patients" were unwilling individuals forced into undergoing some of the most extreme & barbaric experimentation, some with the intention of bettering the treatment for the German military under particular conditions but a lot was just to suit his own twisted & sadistic musings. (there's enough reports & videos out there for those who may be inquisitive enough to look)
The thrust of Ma's argument was to highlight the reason the Code & it's practices are still as relevant today as when they were first drafted back in 1947.
Dave you may be exactly right but that is not the way it read. Ah well, as post 2092 says, "If you don't like a,( her) post ignore it, so I will.

Re: Corona Virus
I was very skeptical, the post you quoted i made last year, i have done much research since then and am quite happy with that now, right or wrong it will do for me. that was done before i was offered the jab by the way.

I think that would be best...
Your disgustometer is set too low not to be activated by posts that you seem keen to misinterpret.
You see any explanations as a 'get out of Jail card'...even though I am not in jail.

Re: Corona Virus
went up to hartlepool for the match yesterday. stopped at stockton on the way up. for those who were not keen on boris changing the regulations i suggest they may be happy to move up there. distancing and asking people to muzzle up are all over both their shopping centres. they are still really serious and worried up there i can tell you.
