Sentences too harsh!

1. With Abubakar as a surname and wearing headdress like that it’s pretty obvious she is a Muslim.

2. Therefore it’s highly unlikely she had any children, let alone 4, out of wedlock.

But this is you disagreeing with anything.

‘Abū Bakr ({ ابو بكر }) is an Arabic given name meaning "Father of a Young Camel" (Abu meaning 'Father of' and Bakr meaning 'Young Camel') that is widely used by Sunni Muslims.’

I agree it.s much more likely than not but I was actually highlighting the danger of making assumptions. A trap I fell into when assuming she was a recent arrival.

...and also putting her young daughter into one as well - but be prepared to be told that that's probably because it's cold and draughty in those cabins.......

Actually her complaint was that because a child has special needs, and the windows and doors must be kept locked shut, it got so hot inside as to be unbearable. Full sun in a metal container without air con must feel like being roasted alive.

You are persisting with a lie.

The country did not close down. We were restricted in what we could do. Required to adopt different ways of behaving, but we could still do many things. We could stay in touch with our families, but by phone and video calling. We worked from home. Children got taught at home. So work and teaching weren’t closed. They were just done differently. We ate. We shopped. We got things delivered. The economy functioned. Some businesses closed, others survived with help.

I most certainly won’t admit it was wrong because it wasn’t wrong. I supported it then and i do today. The enquiry will inform us whether anything could have been done better and what lessons are to be learned but looking at what happened back then the only obvious one is timing. I think we should have gone harder earlier, which could have enabled the restrictions to have been released much earlier and limited the financial impact. Overall though it was the right choice in the circumstances.

This is arrant nonsense and just underscores how ridiculous your position is. What is your definition of closing down if not what you've described?

it doesn’t if she’s over 70 and you are not short of dough. Why allow her to burn herself out as you have posted how exhausted she says she is. Maybe it’s still easier at work on her body than to have bleeding ears at home 😂

I don’t allow my wife to do anything. We discuss things and reach agreements.

Just take it from me that this is her choice, which I support.
 
Lewis Carver is a 31-year-old landscaper and father of two sons, aged six and eight. He was jailed for 16 months for throwing a traffic cone towards police and holding a riot shield over his head.

According to Hull Live: "Judge Mark Bury told Carver: "I can't think of anybody less likely to be involved in this than you. It makes no sense to me." Carver had no previous convictions, he had a loving relationship, two young boys and a good job as well as numerous friends, who had written references."

Despite this, Carver was sentenced to 16 months in prison as a deterrent to other people with a source close to Carver telling us that the judge stated during sentencing that he wished he could suspend Carver's sentence but he can't because of "the media".

Those on the mainstream claim there is no 'two tier' policing and justice system. Well, we see what throwing a cone and holding a riot shield gets you.....Let's see what saying that the protestors should get their throats cut gets you when you aren't friends of the left and from the white working class..

Ok, then her option is to rent a property more suited to her needs. Like 5 million others do.

That interpretation is more ridiculous. Does that post blame Starmer or does it say he encouraged longer lockdowns?

It suggested that because he supported them he bore some responsibility.

Which is ridiculous. He was in opposition and arguing for stronger action was criticism of the government.

That the lockdown opponents would have been even unhappier with his recommendations is beside the point. He was not responsible.

Where does it suggest that? A direct quote rather than your misinterpretation will prove your point.

Closing down means ceasing to trade. Closing down your activities completely.

Not partially, or putting them into abeyance. Which is what we, as a country, did.

Total nonsense. Shops, restaurants, pubs, schools, offices and many others all closed. The public were only allowed outside on a limited basis. Put into abeyance? Yes, by closing down for months.

Of course it is.

I guess she might have thought of that herself, so assume there must be reasons why it’s not happened. Or she is either stubborn or stupid. Plenty are. We don’t know. All we do know is she has lived here for 20 years and has children who are British.

The country did not though close. Which is the claim. A business can close departments or branches, but still survive. Indeed it’’s sometimes necessary to do so to ensure survival.

Which is pretty much what happened to GB Plc. It didn’t close. It took drastic action to ensure it didn’t.

Yes it did. Those businesses weren't open. Ergo, they were closed. In many cases closed for good.

“All of it encouraged by Sir Keir Starlin”.

If you interpret that as anything less than suggesting Starmer bearing some culpability then I fear the misinterpretation is yours.

Please explain. How does "encouraged by" equal culpability? If you encourage Palace to score are you responsible for them failing to do so?
