I think something like 98% of people tested are clear. 

It's the daily jump in cases which is major concern. 50%+ growths in 24hrs are not good.

That's just what Boris and his government coronies would like you to believe! Trust me, the situation is far more serious than you could possibly imagine. Fear for your lives, fear for your festival and fear for your forum. This strain of corona is coming for us all.

 

Sincerely,

Just like people had a ticket for Houghton 2019

Except the difference is we know the policy for Houghton 2019/2020. We've no idea for Glastonbury 2020/21. They might carry the purchases over, they may not. Anyone fancy tossing a coin? The point is, the only thing that deposit guaranteed anyone a ticket for was the 2020 festival. 

We shall have to wait and see.

Oh my, he would be turning in his sarcophagus to see his name dragged through the mud like this.

The pope is trying his hardest to disguise the fact he has it. Bless him.

That's the one. I read it in my teens, but never understood what it was really about.

A white smoke signal from the vatican means there's a new pope, so he could have popped his clogs. If he has, he'll now know whether he was right or not, on the God front.

So now you’re resorting to name calling 🙄. How  Lovely of you.  Have i called anyone names ? No. Have I criticised anyone’s I called humour ? No. So why do it to me? 

You joined a Glastonbury Festival forum and made a joke about the likelihood of AIDS being prevalent at the area LGBT+ people enjoy congregating. Then you called yourself "funny" and "clever" and described anyone who didn't like it as "wet" and "snowflakes".

So if you get called a few names, it shouldn't take you long to figure out why. I'd be inclined to suggest you shouldn't be such a snowflake about it, but then I'm not twelve years old.

Yes. Wait for him to race after me trying to explain it away as "risqué" and "dark", perverting the concept of freedom of speech, and idiots after him telling people not to visit comedy clubs if they don't like it, but bottom line - he made a gay joke in 2020. I'm surprised he's still able to post.

Call me names all you want. It’s not the names I have issue with. It’s the hypocrisy of it. I’m happy to accept anything anyone says. It’s their right. But it has to work both ways.

He’s taken what I said and adjusted the words to make it sound terrible. It really wasn’t.

Not if Matt has suggested otherwise, clearly the voice of calm reason around here with no history of hyperbole.

How many homophobic aids jokes before you get banned? One could be misjudged humour two or more I would ban.

It wasn’t homophobic 

[Spindles]

If it isn't clear.  Jokes which mock gay folks, suggest negative things about them or generally reinforce bigoted stereotypes....that's homophobia that is.

Homophobia is showing a dislike to homosexuals and it definitely didn’t do that. So get off your high horse.
