Well, I can tell for sure won't work: ignoring them. Failing to address the disparities between areas and being heavy handed with the lock down is being seen as a 'let them eat cake' attitude towards the public. They're not asking for handouts - they want to work. The State using its authority to prevent you from earning a living can only fly for so long.


Very true. I agree they don't want handouts, but we need to get rid of the virus, and one of our tricks to that end is to pay people to stay home.

But their (the protestors) argument is that they can keep themselves safe... which they have proven almost the opposite of. frown


If you ever find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.
