So sad for you, it must be horrible living near the “Hammer House of Horrors” The people of America deserve better than Trump, what I can’t understand is how he got voted in in the first place I fear that if trade deals are done with the USA our National Health Service will be changed and not for the better. I have no issue with chlorinated chicken, when we go to the swimming’s baths we expect the water to be chlorinated, it’s the farming practices that worry me more and anyone who has suffered from food poisoning caused by poor handling of chicken would understand the argument for chlorinated chickenI wish it was more like the UK here, definitely not all fluffy and caring people! My husband saw a heated argument between a customer and store manager over wearing a mask yesterday, he hung around in case things went down lol. It ended with the customer storming out saying the store is communist. The political divide here is insane, no one can just agree to disagree and be civil. My neighbors in the four houses across the street are a father and 3 sisters. Two sisters are very obnoxious Trump supporters, they have signs in their yard that say Trump Proud, enormous flags flying that say Trump 2020, they even have life size cardboard cutouts of him that they put outside their house sometimes! The other sister hates Trump and they haven’t spoke in years and she lives between the Trump ones! The father just sees them separately and says he can’t do anything, it’s so sad and really insane.
Luckily we have a democrat governor that has really taken things seriously, so Kentucky hasn’t done too bad with the virus. I just don’t understand what the big deal about wearing a mask is. I am fairly young and healthy but I do have asthma so technically I’m vulnerable.
As for the police brutality, I think most cops here are good guys and the small percent of the bad ones, (while I agree need to be punished and police reform is needed) are so publicized that it makes it look like they are all bad. I have several friends that are police officers and the morale is so low right now and I really feel bad for the good cops who are being treated like dirt right now. The US is a complete mess right now! And if trump wins the election, I’m terrified for the riots that will take place.
When he said he was running I thought it was hilarious, then when he actually got the nomination I couldn’t believe it, and when he won, what the heck?! I remember staying up until 3am when they finally declared him the winner and I was in shock.So sad for you, it must be horrible living near the “Hammer House of Horrors” The people of America deserve better than Trump, what I can’t understand is how he got voted in in the first place I fear that if trade deals are done with the USA our National Health Service will be changed and not for the better.

I don’t understand how it became a political thing anyway, although it seems everything here is. As a person with views on both sides, it’s hard because people want to label you as one or the other and then it is us against them. My parents are republican (though not huge Trump fans) and they have been wearing masks since the beginning. Most of their friends have not been wearing masks and try to convince them it is all conspiracy and overblown. I’m proud of them for not giving in to them. From what I see around here it is mostly white people in their 50s and 60s who won’t wear masks (my parents friends lol).
Hubby said we never had problems eating chlorinated chicken while in America, so he is also not bothered with it if we ever import it here. We do enjoy taking photos of how big the food servings in US though.So sad for you, it must be horrible living near the “Hammer House of Horrors” The people of America deserve better than Trump, what I can’t understand is how he got voted in in the first place I fear that if trade deals are done with the USA our National Health Service will be changed and not for the better.

I remember hubby woke me up early in the morning when Trump winning was all over the news.

I’m sure they’ll be dispensations for health reasons, try not to worry xI've had a complete melt down today after seeing Boris is considering making masks compulsory in shops, I've been worrying about this happening since the start. I've tried to wear a mask but anything on my head (even struggle to wear a hat in the rain) or face gives me a panic attack. If we have to wear masks I won't be able to shop and having been completely let down by the supermarket home delivery system I don't know what we will do. My partner can't wear a mask as he has COPD and can't breath with one on.
The food is LARGE! the only thing I hated while in America was the bread, awful stuff, had a sweet taste somehow? I’ve had some wonderful holidays in America, it’s so sad everyone is anti this and anti that, they need to pull together as a country. I’m no fan of Boris but I do think he has pulled the country together here and he has a very human relatable side to him, maybe we should send him off to America!Hubby said we never had problems eating chlorinated chicken while in America, so he is also not bothered with it if we ever import it here.

I think wear a mask is common sense, if not to keep you safe it may help other more vulnerable people, especially when people can show no sign of infection, that’s what I find a worry. What a lovely photo of your daughter, wonder what she’ll think in years to come xI wear a mask in public when going to the shops etc, to be honest we still mainly stay home, Sam is still on furlough (though hoping to go back soon as starting to worry about redundancies etc) kids will return to school in September but we haven't gone to the beach or anything just necessary shops, vet trips etc it was lexies birthday last weekend so people dropped gifts off for her but they knocked dropped then stood 6 feet away to chat. I have noticed there's not much social distancing in my town which makes me sad, no wonder we have a high infection rate I have piggies on my mask but it doesn't have a nose strip so I'm thinking of getting a second one with a nose strip. I even mask my kids in the event we have to take them to the shop like when they all grew a shoe size xx

Please send us someone! Joe Biden is running against Trump and I’m not sure he’s any better, we need at least one decent choice to run the country!The food is LARGE! the only thing I hated while in America was the bread, awful stuff, had a sweet taste somehow?
