Kicking this off with Covid Edge Lord.



British man arrested for not wearing facemask in Singapore is charged with the offence after arriving at court... without a mask on

Classic "rules don't apply to me" defence, good sad face and use of props. Lack of arm folding though.

In Singapore it is mandatory to wear a mask when residents leave their homes, with very few exceptions.

Nano-violin time.

'It's a horrible situation to be in when I don't know when I can next see my family,' he said.

'Especially when I don't even believe masks stop the spread of the virus in the first place.

'I honestly believe it's a hoax - I don't feel there is any evidence to show mask-wearing is effective in any way.

'From a scientific basis, I think it's nonsense, but now all I can do is wait.'

Take note, anyone envisaging a "Singapore of Europe" future for the UK...

Singapore of all places to make your point. Six months isn’t enough for this bellend.

[Watchman]

What’s the line? “If they come over here, they should abide by our laws!”

Bangkok of Europe would sell to Johnson’s voters.

Refreshingly, the comments don't seem to be giving him mich sympathy.

Probably because quite a few of them get a little bit sexually excited at the idea of Singapore style authoritarianism on their own doorstep.

What a weapon.

Male blood donor, 66, turned away from clinic after he refused to answer a question on whether he was pregnant as part of a pre-donation questionnaire

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/articl ... gnant.html

It is nonsensical and it makes me angry because there are vulnerable people waiting for blood, including children, and in desperate need of help. But they've been denied my blood because of the obligation to answer a question that can't possibly be answered.'

Allow me to assist. As a cis-gendered male of a certain age myself, I can confirm that No is the answer to this seemingly impossible conundrum.

[RedSparrows]

Why do I suspect he was turned away for being a dick? If I were faced with that question I'm pretty sure I'd not be a dick about it.

[davidjay]

You're public-spirited enough to donate so often (and well done to him for doing it) but ticking a box is a step too far? The feckin eejit.

[Andy McDandy]

He made a scene. He got in people's faces and was asked to leave.

[Watchman]

And in all his “annoyance” managed to remember to bring the form home, maybe some one had already been and told him about the question, so he went prepared for his 15 minutes

The real headline is "Man over the upper age limit for giving blood makes up spurious reason for being turned away"

Man is stunned, stunned I tell you, to discover that illegal number plate is illegal.

Good sadfacing but lost PLU points for the "former union official".
