On the stalking front though witton, just on this thread, you do kind of set yourself up for it. I suspect if you were to read back all of your posts in the past few months, most of them are about taking a disbelieving stance against what the ‘experts’ are predicting. The government have been so worried about upsetting their contrarian supporters like you (almost all, surprise surprise, to a man/woman ardent brexiteers ) that they mostly havent chosen to... until they have to by which time it’s too late

For my point a contrarian is a disbeliever of experts
And a contrarian supporter is a Tory contrarian supporter
Disagreement isn't bad. I would say it's good. A sensible debate is what we should be having on the issue. But having an opinion that isn't aligned to SAGE and the Government is contrarian, or flat-earther.
Yes there are times when I (and I think others) detect a hatred in you Dave. Slime for example.
To suggest I'm a virus sceptic is incorrect. I'm sceptical of the way the UK has handled the virus, mostly since around May time.
Pre May, whilst I disagreed with certain aspects I was broadly accepting that it was tough for the Government to do anything else other than lockdown.
I may use the world "troll" in an incorrect context. There are people on the forum who disagree with me who do not relentlessly make a bee-line for my posts to constantly counter them.
It's seems to me a bit like a restaurant critic, repeatedly returning to dine in a restaurant that they do not like so they can give a poor review again and again.
You don't like me, you don't agree with me. I think that is clear. But I am entitled to my opinion and I will continue to put my opinions forward.
I just wish you had an opinion, other than you disagree with me, or Muddy, or Oracle.....

you regularly link to material which says that lockdown and facemasks had "no impact" on the spread of C-19. That's not scepticism. It's actually encouraging people not to wear them. One of the blogs you linked to earlier had "advice" about how to avoid wearing masks and provided a graphic to print out which claimed exemption. Your "sceptisism" leads you to claim supposed "huge problems" with testing, which turn out to be just plain wrong. You call those who don't agree with you "discourteous", not polite, "trolls", "stalkers". And now you're trying to divert attention away from your recent posts where you were also shown to be wrong.
As I pointed out a while ago: if you're going to post this guff, people are going to disagree with you.
....it's all downhill from here.
Just for you Stolly. I thought I'd have a look back - weather's crap at the moment.
I was replying to MR who had posted a link to a Spectator article / Oxford study which most will recall, suggesting the community infection was fairly extensive.
I haven't really changed my position, except my trust in Boris and the Government has reduced since around middle of May.
I used to defend Whitty. But he is supposed to be CMO and he only seems to be fighting Covid. He needs to be fighting for the general well being of the UK population.
Consider this.
No More Marking have just assessed some year 7 students. Over 112,000 pupils from 644 schools in England took part in this assessment.
Findings: Year 7s are 22 months behind where we’d expect them to be at this time in the year.

When it comes to guff, you know your onions.
You know that exemption card was actually recommended for my wife who has long-standing issues from childhood about having anything covering her face.
Giving birth the midwife put the gas and air mask over her face and she launched it across the room.
The exemption card was recommended by our GP back in July.
I'm reverting back to silent mode with you now Dave and I think this time it will be permanent.
