This startd with a rumour (which as you know there is no smoke without fire) about there being proportionally more deaths within the muslim community in London, the Midlands may well be the same as deaths there are quite high. Then discussion about why that may be. Is that racist. How I see it someone might read this from that community and get a lightbulb moment. Maybe save a family member by changing how they do things. Maybe work 2m apart from someone in that culture and ask these questions of their colleage. We all learn things every day.

The problem is not so much that people with contradictory views are shot down but that they go away as they just don't want to interact in a forum that seems to turn every thread into an anti immigration or anti Islam diatribe

It’s a stat, not a rumour, that the Muslim community have more cases and deaths per population. I heard it last Sunday afternoon on LBC the same time you did. LBC has been excellent during all this. Last night and some in the afternoon had callers of recent death victims, young and old. Some of them you weren’t expecting the story to say they’ve died so it hit you when the story developed to that. Coming to terms with that death and having no contact from hospital admission all the way to the grave is horrendous. COYP

I have to agree completely. I have rarely had a problem with Midland's moderating but if you can't discuss topics that are of the most significance then what is the point of posting? I concede that there is too much repetition of old arguments but that is true of any topic on any site. If people want to have threads about cheering on diversity, apologising for pakistani rapists or hating the Tories then maybe they should post on the BBS. I don't expect that any of the mods there close down the 1000 threads with those sentiments. My output on here has greatly reduced because this place has become rather dull and I am tired of wasting my time arguing with the hopelessly deluded. I have better things to do.

You couldn't make this up. Cumbria police have been slammed for nanny policing for posting drone images of people walking in the peak district. How ironic that for years nanny policing is what people wanted now they dont. There is a pandemic sweeping the country and the world. Stay indoors and exercise locally we've been told. How is driving your car (a potential crash and blue light needed) local. These idiots just dont get it. Tarquin and Elijah need their daily hike ffs. Slap them up the head, fine them and send them home. It's on the bbc website if someone can find and link it. Not my best skill!

I am not aware of any stiplulation in the UK that one shouldn't drive further than a certain distance from one's abode.I understand a restriction has been introduced in the Republic Of Ireland. The UK Government have recognised the importance of exercise and some people in certain localities might need to drive to a local park or the countryside etc rather than simply walking around their neighbourhood day on day in an area which might not be the most salubrious.Even in well-heeled areas there are those who might conclude that fresh air out in the open is highly beneficial. My dear wife and I are fortunate in that there are delightful walks which can be taken along the south down etc etc but some might need to avail of their transportation to make the short journey (By car) to these places.Can certainly spread out over the South Downs!

Edited by Willo (28 Mar 2020 1.45pm) Yesterday advice to exercise locally was given. Personally I think its logical. If you drive you might crash or hit someone and ambulances are at a premium right now! Also cannot see why cycling atm seems a good idea for the same reason. I get that local streets are boring but are people really not able to sacrifice their usual spaces for 3 months or so? Stay home,protect yourselves,protect others save lives,protect the nhs. Willo you and your good lady do need to be careful matey. You are close to the wrong side of the vulnerable age. You could bump into someone,touch something, fingers in mouth eyes or nose and god knows what may happen. And hes the only one tbh.
