So... what do they think the system is if not the people within it? Because that's a fairly basic point in both anarchist philosophy and almost all modern sociology.

The people are the system, if you picked a million other people and dumped them in the same rules and constructs you'd have a different system. Or as my nan used to say, if we were both born in China we'd be having this conversation in Chinese.

I think the way they view it is that they just take the system as a state of nature, you see it with a lot of the justifications about how you can never do away with hierarchies or that there'll always be someone on top better just try to make sure it's someone decent. Like the implication is that the problem can't be with that mode of organization or if it is, there's nothing you can do to change that so it's not worth thinking about, the only thing you can do is try to fiddle to make sure that you end up with a philosopher king rather than a mad dictator. Complaining about why we need to have either is like complaining about the existence of gravity.

Anyway, my point is the mass grave in Hyde park is getting named after Boris.

Sometimes, in a city this dirty, you need a real hero.
Well i guess someone from Tesco is reading this thread (or my mind) because today i discovered that not only have they got one in, one out on the go, but they also implemented a one way system around the store with floor plans indicating a 2m distance.

Shelves were fully stocked, no-one was panic buying but despite all of this it didn't stop the olds ignoring the system and going up and down the aisles however the gently caress they pleased or from congregating at the ends of them having a natter with eachother while blocking everyone else's way.

Staff weren't doing poo poo to these people though. What's the point of putting new policies in place if you aren't going to enforce them.

If the NHS gets Boris through this; it could be worth, at a much later date, just casually checking up with him on the election promises for new hospitals and nurses.

Store policy is generally you have to be as grovelling as possible to people unless you're security. It would probably take a lot of training to change that.

You'd think so, but I was trying to ask the security guard a question while standing 2m away and he stepped closer to answer because god forbid we just talk a little loudly while respecting common sense.

No one's taking this properly seriously and we're all going to get this eventually.

Same round here. The guys on the door have obviously been told to be extra jovial about everything and to be fair are doing a good job. All the rest of them do seem to be quite into enforcing the rules and being proactive. What I'm worried about is in the future they won't want to give up their new found authority and shopping is going to be a right faff, getting bossed around by a bunch of little broccoli Nazis.

What pisses me off is Raab's loving "oh he's totally fine, running the country from his hospital bed, just hasn't bothered to check in with his deputy" nonsense is clearly bollocks. They could have refused to update us, could have just asked for privacy. But instead they lied and nobody's gonna call them out on it.
