Yes you dealt with the question by not answering it.

 

I dont expect anyone to discuss any medical issues on an internet forum.

 

Go back to my original statement - If you are ordering online, not at risk and have a car, please fucking stop now you selfish cunts  to which I added or a key worker.

 

You tried to justify your shopping habits, didnt state you couldnt go to the shops for health reasons and went on about me being selfish and making the most ludicrous statements you'd seen on the internet.

 

Try answering the question, but i'll amend it slightly -

 

Would you, for the common good to help those more vulnerable than you, (and not in that category yourself) suspend doing your shopping online so that those people are more likely to get what they need and less likely to suffer or die?  

 

 

I refer you to my previous posts where my position is clearly set out.

I'm trying to arrange online deliveries for my mum 240 miles away but failing, or as this morning, going to the supermarket myself and leaving the shopping on the doorstep of a local guy i'm trying to help.

Is your mum on Merseyside?

Thank you.

 

Minimum order amount £125 not great when there is limited freezer space

You could order for three or four people and deliver it to them.

So add more people to your own order?  Friends, neighbours?

How about the blind pensioner who is stuck in his house? Someone has to do his shopping for him, but like you say the aisles are empty and there are massive queues so the logical thing to do for him is to shop online.  Problem is all the slots are taken by lots of healthy not as vulnerable people who wont give them up. I guess they are more important than him.

After voting Tory for most of your life it’s a bit rich to pivot to caring about the poor and vulnerable all of a sudden.

I agree with what you say, however i believe that the people who hog the delivery slots at the expense of vulnerable people are as bad or probably worse. 

Because it inconveniences you

Sorry, could have helped out otherwise.

I spent the week up to Saturday gone trawling the shops multiple times to buy food for myself, my elderly parent, my emotionally and medically vulnerable sibling, and my sick elderly neighbour, I'm hoping all will now have enough for a couple of weeks. I have an online shop booked in for the second week of April, should I feel guilty for that if I'm not in the highest risk groups?  I will probably be one or two levels below. 

So having spent that time putting myself and my household at risk mainly to help others (and rightly so) am I now not allowed to give myself a break from it by online shopping?  A Red? 

I'm just wondering what level of judgement is being applied here and if it's fair, especially coming from someone who, if I recall correctly, prior to this outbreak didn't display much interest in wider societal issues.

That's certainly how it's coming across.

I might be wrong but I'm sure A Red has been looking after a local elderly fella for a while before this outbreak.

Utter. Fucking. Scum.

Coronavirus: Knottingley food bank closes after raid - BBC News

Stockpiling restrictions mean the Trussel Trust food bank cannot replace the items and will close. 

The town's MP, Yvette Cooper, described the crime as "shameful".

She called for supermarkets to change their rules to allow food banks to buy in bulk. 

'Forced our hand'

The food bank, on Tythe Barn Road, had received a large donation of goods before one of its storage containers was raided at about 18:00 GMT on Wednesday.

Four men were seen fleeing the scene.

Project manager Janet Burns said: “I’m absolutely positive it’s coronavirus-related. They’re stealing stuff because they know they can sell it at pubs and clubs.” 

She said there had been a long queue outside the food bank, including people with school meal vouchers which they fear will be unuseable when closures come into force from Friday.

Yvette Cooper said the raid had taken place at a time "when we should be pulling together and helping each other"

Ms Burns added: “All our food is donated by the general public so it’s just taking the kindness of people and throwing it back in their faces.

“People who came in today might not have got as much as they might have done otherwise. These are people that are desperate for some help."

Before the break-in, the food bank had decided to move to a reduced service from next week, dealing with emergency cases only because many of its volunteers are older and classed as being at higher risk of catching the virus.

However, Ms Burns said losing so many donated goods had “forced our hand” and it will now close.

Ms Cooper called on the public to come forward with donations to help the food bank continue to provide for those in need.

She said: “If someone has done this in order to make profit from other people’s desperation that is a shocking and shameful crime.” 

Insp Phillippa Child, from West Yorkshire Police, said: "Foodbanks are there to help the most needy in society and this is a disgusting crime."

She said the force was looking at CCTV and asked anyone with information to get in touch.

Good for you, i'm not being sarcastic, I genuinely mean it. You have got a booking for mid april, not a problem with me, fair play to you. I'm concerned with the perfectly fit and able cunts snapping up all the immediate and nearby dates.

 

As for my interest in wider social issues, I do post occasionally on the subject and it is something that concerns me. I do make an effort to help those around me, if you want to know more PM me.

 

I think my problem with stating the view i have is that i am not a socialist or a corbyn supporter, indeed i have criticised him strongly. Not for anti semitism, which i have always said is bollocks but his policies. I'm seen as a tory by those who have noticed my posts, and therefore everything I say is ridiculed for being an uncaring bastard who votes for uncaring bastards. The fact is I have voted for all 3 parties in my time, partly for what suits me best and partly what i believe suits the country best.

 

Just to confirm, i am not inconvenienced by not being unable to get delivery slots for others within the next 3 weeks, I am worried and also very annoyed at the selfish cunts that have taken them.

Lots of people are worried. Do you think going around calling them all the selfish cunts under the sun is a valid way of dealing with it? Especially when you are yourself a self admitted selfish cunt

You are the type of cunt that thinks caring about people starts with voting communist and ends with shouting at fascists, with fuck all in between. You are a clown

Coming from the grown man having a literal tantrum because more people are using supermarket home delivery during a flipping pandemic. And you think this is the epitome of selfish behaviour? If I’m a clown, you’re the whole fucking circus

No, I'm having a literal tantrum because some people dont have the thought process to understand that maybe their actions cause problems to others. You do realise the whole isolation and social distancing thing it is to mainly protect the vulnerable dont you? All I have done is highlight a way to make it easier to help those people. Sorry if my language was a bit strong for you.

 

Being a self confessed communist you at least should be able look at it from the point of society rather than just yourself.
