i post items like this even though its in british situations because the same thing is happening here like the just posted one minute video with the karen. those in power and i include 'our free press' are doing all they can to have your neighbors enforce their commands, like we've been taught the commies did. resist;
“It’s rude to stare!”, most of us were told as kids. Just how rude you only realise when you’re sitting in a near empty train carriage, minding your own business, when a man in a face mask gets on, takes his seat, swivels in your direction and fixes you with a long, long, cold, hard, death look.

Second, it confirmed my long held suspicion that a lot of the people supporting the draconian (and, in my view, entirely unnecessary) Coronavirus measures being pushed by the Government are people that till recently I would have considered my natural allies: Conservatives, as this man clearly was; Brexiteers, as he likely was too.........read more.......
