Sour Mash Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Zero sympathy. Those who wanted to get out at the time were able to do so - now those who didn't want to leave are moaning because they made the wrong choice and of course, it's got to be someone else's fault and absolutely not their own.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I despise rubbish like this.  It is a modern phenomenon unfortunately. For many people every single thing that they are not happy with or and little problem they have ion the governments fault. These snowflake idiots do not seem to have heard of the idea of looking after themselves.  A guy said they were offered a bus to Panama but ONLY had 12 hours to decide. Jesus wept how long does it take to make your mind up. Also they trot out the "mental health "issue. What they mean is something has happened that is out of the ordinary and they have to deal with it. if there are no flights to the UK what do they want anyone to do.  They say they have no money. Maybe then they should be working for a living rather than swanning about giving it big potatoes on a beach. If they have no money ask parents to help out. Do these people not have good friends? Ring the bank and get an overdraft. Do not expect the govt to worry about every little problem you have to deal with. Man up and get on with it.  My great grandfather was being shoot at by German, fighters on his 18th birthday. That is stress. being stuck in a bit of rain is nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richmondtw Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020  Hannah bates is on the right- they look unemployable - the oldest hippies in town. She also said I’ve got an elderly dog at home, my mum is not very well. We need to be with our loved ones in a situation like this. I’m lucky to have formed a community with the people I’ve met here. We really need just a safe space to drop in.’ She did not bother to think of her dog or her elderly mother when she left to go and party on a beach.  And what on earth does she mean by a safe space to drop in. What is that all about?   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Un - f - believable - well it should be, but sadly it is not. So here we have 2 people - both working - he is a plumber so will earn well. They do not have £2,600 between them. So WHY OH WHY spend what must have been a lot of money on a holiday! I and the Ayatollah do not, never have, never will spent loads of money on birthdays and Christmas. To us just have time off together usually at home is a dream. I do not need Mrs Ayatollah to spend a load of money to appreciate her and know she loves me. Indeed, I would not want her to do so.  it is totally and utterly beyond my understanding.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not talking about the genuinely poor, but those who have nice lifestyles. Even if you didn't want to spend the money (maybe they are angling for a subsidized flight from the government, or their original booking being honored), surely at this stage you would say "F*ck it, I just want to get home"?

Freki Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 What does any of that has to do with Housing and the economy? And don't try to shoehorn it with "look they have no money so we are talking about economy"Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2buyornot2buy Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 I have a permatraveling acquaintance. Early 30s. Mum and Dad bought them a flat in Clapham years ago. They rent it out and use the money to travel. Surprised I don't see them in this pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only had 12 hours notice to decide to leave as well - how awful! Why should other taxpayers have to bail them out - maybe if they didn't spend their time swanning round the world and getting tattoos they might have some savings? So no sympathy - its their own fault! I feel a bit sorry for the old dog and the ill mum - who they deserted in the first place.   Edited April 25, 2020 by MARTINX9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
