The VIPs should not be surprised when the plebs are not complying with the nonsense. In fact some plebs seem to be revolting!

Yes they do think they are,that's why they have vip lounges

I laughed at the bit where it said you are in control when choosing cookies, erm no you aren't. Sort of fitting.

Well football is important to many men and women but the point you are trying to make Baz is bugger all to do with the beautiful game.

It's all about some animals being more equal than others......G7 Barbie anyone,it's why when you fly you might be stuck in some busy terminal for hours on end,queues of sweaty people to check in,board,passport control,customs........meanwhile some vip sits in an air conditioned lounge sipping a drink,gets whisked through all the formalities and doesn't have to sit with all the plebs.

In a nutshell Baz nowt to do with covid,regulations or anything like that other than you,me and everyone else on here are mere plebs

No sport is important to me.

Nero was emperor and for two weeks the mob had been rioting uncontrolled
in the streets of Rome. The economy of the greatest empire that the world had
ever seen was coming apart like an unraveling sweater. The cost of maintaining
Rome's gigantic armed forces, equipped with the latest catapults, ballistae, and
fast war galleys, was bleeding the nation white and in addition there were the
heavy subsidies that had to be paid to the satellite nations dependent on Rome
for support. The impoverished government had neither the funds nor the power
to stop the riots. In this crisis, the Captain of the Shipping hurried by chariot to
consult with the first tribune.
"The merchant fleet is in Egypt awaiting loading," he announced. "The ships
can be loaded either with corn for the starving people or with the special sand
used on the track for the chariot races. Which shall it be?"
"Are you mad?" screamed the tribune. "The situation here has got out of
control. The emperor's a lunatic, the army's on the edge of mutiny and the
people are dying of hunger. For the gods' sake, get the sand! We have to get their
minds off their troubles!"

This is getting to be a farce now.
Do laws apply to everyone or do they apply to no one?
