So who are the “great unwashed” you speak off? As it’s certainly a derogatory term aimed at the lowest in society.

Take a look at your own post from 08:44 on this very thread if you are unsure.

You mean those bellends in the video who you’ve decided are working class thicko’s? They sound more like students from the Uni’s, ie, intelligent young people who should know better to me.

And what about the masses who gathered after the title win? For both Liverpool and Leeds as not to focus entirely on one city

All students who should know better?

Going to uni does not make you intelligent. The ones out there are not the intelligent ones. Those are inside doing the right thing.

The morons are out from all areas.

Like I said. You can make all the rules in the world but without proper enforcement the great unwashed . Or the general public. Or anyone you want to class as. Will break it... Not everyone. But enough for issues to still appear.

Do you not see the irony in taking offence at the great unwashed but at the same time using b**lend to describe a group of people you think are idiots?

Or those that celebrated VE Day or crowded the beaches or fill Soho or took part in the demonstrations in London etc, they are from all walks of life, intelligence and common sense do not go hand in hand.

The term “the great unwashed” is a derogatory term aimed at one particular part of society and for someone who has your political allegiances you need to give your head a shake.

Our clubhouse has shut.
But golf remains the same.
We are in very high category.
So that must be a local government thing.

This is just he Northern Ireland lockdown. Outdoor sports between more than one household not allowed and that would seem to cross golf of the list except with people you live with

Why keep blaming the “great unwashed” as you call them? Plenty of evidence it is Intelligent people in all levels of society that have ignored the rules.

People with money and status believing the rules don’t apply to them.

No, they are not intelligent. They might know how to do some clever things, but they aren't intelligent enough to see , if they do just what they want, then we are en route to anarchy, and chaos.
Looking back over the decades, we are heading that way.

In my opinion some of the people who have ignored the rules/guidelines/laws, ie Politicians, Scientists, Civil Servants, Doctors etc are very intelligent, what they’ve lacked is common sense, a sense of responsibility and are selfish.(y)

Differing opinions are allowed.:)

Anybody had any symptoms to date or perhaps reasons to think any of you may have had it ?

Primed for what exactly?

An extended mid-term break - such as would happen if the government decided in the coming days upon a circuit break of 2-3 weeks (of the sort that those in charge are currently vigorously rejecting) - as that might well require teaching to move on-line/remote.

Oh I think that we know that they are intelligent (well they are at least not stupid) - because we know that they can understand very complex matters ;) This is relatively straightforward. Living within the constraints in our area is not a matter of intelligence. We just have to do what we know is the right thing to do, rather than what we'd want to do.
